The Difficult Ones

Don’t hate me, but I’m almost done with my holiday/Christmas gift shopping. :wreath: The best part is, I won’t have to deal with the upcoming holiday crush of people in shopping malls, which is one of the things I hate. Most of my shopping was done throughout the year and online, which I love for the convenience factor. I can shop with my pajamas on! :elf:

But every year, no matter how hard I try, there are two people who remain the absolute hardest to shop for, and they are always the last people on my gift list to cross off. My father and Don’s father. These two men have just about everything they could ever want or need, and they are the most difficult to shop for. They aren’t into clothes or ties, and they only wear one kind of cologne. They aren’t golfers and they aren’t into sports. Electronic gadgets aren’t their thing, either. What they do love the most is working on old classic cars. Rebuilding them from the ground up. And I don’t know enough about old Chevy car parts to get them something for their hobby.

So, for the past few years I’ve had to get them gift cards because buying them something has absolutely stumped me! Even my mother and mother-in-law don’t have ideas to give me, which would help tremendously if they did. So, here I am again, scratching my head over what to get the dads.

So, here’s a few questions for you:

1) Do you have any fun or unique ideas that I might be able to get for the dads? :santahat:

2) Who is the hardest person on your holiday gift list to shop for and why? mastree:
