I don't know about ya'll but my Daddy is the hardest person in my family to buy gifts for. He is a simple country man he has a lot of dis-likes and not very many likes.
Here is a run down of him:
Doesn't Like: Technology, Fashion, Sports, Cologne, Cooking (he does cook, its just not something he has a passion for), and he doesn't drink alcohol.
He does like tool, but if he sees something he likes he buys it. So, he has all the tools anyone could possible need.
Now if you've seen this kinds of lists before you will see that those are most of the gift recommendations so my list is going to be different from those. I hope it helps you if you struggle like I do.
