Fathers Day Gifts

I thought starting a thread with Gift Idea's for DAD is in order, everyone tell us what you will be getting your DAD for Father's Day.
I Decided to get my dad a XM Radio receiver $119.98 and 6 months of service $60.00. I really like it, very easy to install and very easy to activate.
He lives in AZ now and her often has problems getting a good signal out there. There is more then enough channels to pick from, I think 100+ stations. Give us your idea's and a price if you want to help the members that are still clueless on what to get there Dad's.

I don't know either....with my long work hours this week (little time to think/shop) I may go with "the usual"...a Home Depot gift card.

He does a lot of wood work...I bet he would just like some wood stock of whatever wood is his favorite...I think he's hinted at it before.

Sorry, but I've got to chuckle at this one!....how appropriate that a termite's Dad should be into woodworking!

My dad's been using Total 3D Home 2.0 forever now - I found 6.0 Deluxe on Ebay for cheap.

Hey, I'm a student.

Buy him some shims - hehe!

My Dad is easy to shop for. He has a huge skull collection - I always have a closet full of skull stuff that I continuously buy.
