Well, I've got most of my Christmas shopping done already, except there's one person I still need to buy for: my dear old dad. Frankly, I have no idea what to get him, so I decided to come to the EN World boards for help. 
So here's some stuff to help you out: My dad likes to watch movies, but he already owns all of his favorite ones on DVD so I don't think I'll be getting him any of those. He isn't much of a reader, although he does occasionally find a novel that catches his interest. He also dosen't fish or hunt much anymore.
However, my dad loves things like tools and innovative little gadgets. A few years ago, he got an electronic thermometer tool where you stick a sensor on the side of your house and it transmits the temperature to an LCD display inside your home, and he absolutely loves it. He's also gotten a couple of multi-tools over the years that are always on his belt because he uses them frequently at both work and home. He even has his own workshop where he keeps all his tools and uses them to work on home and automotive projects. Basically, if you can find a gift that Tim "the Toolman" Taylor would like, my dad would probably like it too.
Other subjects that interest him are astronomy (he still loves to take out his telescope on clear summer nights), college football (particularly Brigham Young University, his favorite team), home theater equipment (althogh considering how expensive that stuff is, I doubt I can afford anything), and pretty much anything on the History Channel.
I'm looking to spend anywhere from $40 - $60.
