Whats he like doing? Take him on a fishing trip or camping or something like that and just pay for all the shit you need and the gas and crap. Or maybe get tickets to go to a concert he'd like.

Actually doing something cool like that would be alot more memorable and impressionable than just buying him some dvds or some shit. It'd probably fit your budget alot nicer too unless you don't have the shit you need to go do something like that.

My dad is pretty tough to shop for too because he's a homebody and never does shit so I bought him some led zeppelin, genesis, and rush CDs a florida state sweater because thats his favorite college team and something else pretty small I forgot what it was. He liked it though.

I'm not buying anyone shit this year which kind of sucks but last year was the only year I really bought anyone anything for christmas other than stupid kid shit like those CHRISTMAS GIFT SHOP things at school where your parents give them money to buy them some bullshit at school. I'd totally buy them crap this year but I'm pretty broke as fuck so I'll make up for it next year if I got money.

Yeah asshole machines but come on man buying presents for dads is the easiest. you can get him a) something functional like NEW TOOLS so he can do minor domestic repairs proving he's not a useless pussy or b) a very generous amount of an alcoholic drink you know nobody else in the family likes so he can get guiltlessly drunk (just using your present......) avoiding the shit tv he'd otherwise be obliged to watch and the company of possibly horrible relatives during the christmas period

buy him a socks

Well, my dad always likes useless gadgets that you don't really need, and that do something completely random. Like, a light that you put above your doorknob so you can see the key-hole better. Or an adjustable monitor stand.

NaNoWriMo has made Christmas so easy for me.  I just go to a site like Lulu or CreateSpace and have copies of the books I write printed, then give the copies out for Christmas along with like one other small thing.

You could always make him a halfassed interactive rpg holiday "card." I do that for people's birthdays all the time.

A month or so back I do remember him saying it would be cool to get the entire series of Voyager on dvd while we were watching the show together so i've looked around but its over my limit off £100.00 roughly.. I found it for £230 on amazon which seems odd cause its an old show now  :shocking:
I think it's pretty obvious that your dad wants the entire series of Voyager on dvd.

I suck at coming up with gifts. Bro's gonna get some movies, mom's prolly gonna get chocolates or something.
Friend's gonna get a cheesy song for birthday if I'm not sick tomorrow as well (his birthday's in two days).
