You know these men better than anyone else...what do they like?
Clothes can be tricky...as someone else noted, most men have a "uniform"...you can't go wrong with something that he'd normally wear. Don't buy him clothes that you "think he'll look good in". If it's not his style, he might wear them once for you, then they'll just sit in his closet. Stick with what he likes.
As others have noted, tools are best dealt with by a gift card, or asking for specifics, especially if he has a decent collection already.

If all else fails, ask him to put together a list of things he'd like. This way there'll be an element of surprise, maybe just seeing his wish list will give you other ideas. That's pretty much what both my wife and I do (for Christmas...our birthdays are only a couple weeks apart, so we just go out to eat to celebrate both together and call it good).
Dunno how often you see your father, but older guys appreciate being taken out for dinner (women too, that's what we do for my mother).

Booze can be tricky...not everyone drinks but those who do usually have brands they prefer.

3 stores where you can't fail buying women gifts... Sephora/Ulta, Hobby Lobby, Cracker Barrel... yes I said Cracker Barrel... they have some seriously cute ****.

Never heard of any of 'em. Isn't Cracker Barrel a brand of cheese?

If it's any consolation, we don't find you any easier to buy for than you do us. Most men will break out in hives if they get within 25' of a womens' clothing store and I've learned that "practical" gifts can be a bit of a minefield.

The notion of simultaneously "giving a gift" and supporting the local animal shelter worked for my wife and her dad. He INSISTED that he wanted and needed NOTHING. So she bought 150lb of the brand of dog chow that the local shelter prefers and donated it in his name.

A nice pocket knife, ammo, or a high-quality spirit is also almost always good.

I told my Wife not to get me anything this year, but I know she will anyway. We spent a king's ransom remodeling the house this year, and agreed we wouldn't do much for Xmas. But ...

Honestly, if they haven't told you what they want by now, they may not want you to get them anything ... in which case, a card with a gift certificate to somewhere they like is absolutely fine.

If I could spell out my favorite curse words and not have them censored... I would post a heck of a lot more..
This just ain't the place for it.


My wife and i don't get each other presents.

I want a brand new D-6 with 6-way articulated blade and brush rippers on the back. Or, as I tell people, "Don't buy me anything for Christmas. If I want it, I already have it. If I want it and can't afford it, you can't afford it either."
