Guys my dad's 68th birthday is coming up AND he's retiring.

@Gina a wood working course? Never to old to learn something new. And it is a social activity; meeting new people…

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@peterkulche He was a carpenter, I think he could be teaching the course 😅

I do remember him building model ships when we were younger, but I'm not sure he'd enjoy working with super small parts anymore. Dude is getting old :'(

@Gina Time with family.

@Gina A small piece of land, some garden tools and a book for gardening your own food for fun. #GardeningMastodon

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@ronnylam Lol normally a great suggestion, but my parents are cultural barbarians (think Telegraaf readers).

[ronnylam@mastodon.social]

@Gina hmm, rough, not even a comedian, play or concert at the local schouwburg?

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@hywan They have a grandson they love (my nephew), so we got that covered :)

[max@poliverso.org]

@Gina

Gift cards to spend in restaurants and/or hotels?

A couple of rounds on a Ferrari at the nearest racing circuit?

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@ronnylam Yeah but that's a one time thing, I'm kind of looking for something he can fill a few days with.

He used to build model ships, and had a massive miniature train city (lol nerd) in the attic before we were born.

@Gina a membership for the public library and a maker space/fablab if you have something near by. :)

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@disisdeguey You know what, they have a nice backyard and a little green house, so a book on how to grow food might be a good start. Thanks!

@Mndell Dude is 70. 😂

[gpshewan@mastodon.social]

@Gina leather working or wood carving? Both can start small and scale up if there’s interest

[disisdeguey@expressional.social]

@Gina I think is a nice project. I do have my little piece of land and I really enjoy working there. Have a nice day and congratulations on your dad's retirement 😍

@Gina metal detector

[mndell@mastodon.social]

@Gina as long as he’s not too heavy, no problem!

[tadi@chaos.social]

@Gina Something where he remains physically active. Fitnesscenter membership, Hiking guide. Make him travel a lot (if possible) on his own... No cruise ships!

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@wouterkobes They don't live near a beach 😅
