    Ok so my parents get back from Italy tonight. It is also my dad's birthday. My brother and I have not gotten him anything. We were thinking a new office chair since he broke his, but need a backup plan in case we can't find one he'd like in our price range (100 dollars or less).

    Please help. And no, as much as he'd appreciate it strippers and porn related things are not valid options.

    Kinda hard if we don't know what he likes. A gift card to a nice restaurant is often a good choice.

    Doesn't matter. Rep has all sorts of real world implications. At least that's what I've heard...

    first four kinda seem weak... like Homer getting Marge a bowling ball weak.

    Booze=safe. Budget will get a nice shelf bottle of his type.

    Bible books(?): with the booze coming first, you must be catholic? Sounds safe, but not as sure as booze.

    Car: Always a winner. Gift card actually is acceptable if it's to the local hot rod shop and he'd use it.

    Gourmet cooking? If he's the chef, a nice piece or set of cookware. Go for quality.

    Sarcasm: You're his kid, you've already provided a lifetime worth.

    There isn't a Gamer alive who doesn't enjoy a gift certificate to their favorite gaming store. Buying a nice dice bag and a set of dice would give extra little gifts to slip the gift certificate/gift card into.

    Frankly, gift certificates anywhere are usually pretty safe.

    If you want rep, you can always ask for it. :)

    How much dynamite can you get for $20 (less the cost of the doll), and will that be enough to blow it up right?

    No, but alcohol will be consumed in it, Bible books and other Sunday School stuff will be read in it, and much sarcasm will be uttered while sitting in it.
