What should I get my father in law for his birthday? I have an easy time shopping for women, but for men, I just don't know!

    Slippers? Soap on a rope? A tie?

    What are his interests?

    He likes technology, but I have no idea what he has, what he doesn't have, etc...

    I know he already has every tool you can think of in his garage.

    He works from home, so he wouldn't wear ties.

    If he's a nerdy kind of guy (and has a sense of humor) and he works from home, maybe you could get him a funny nerdy t-shirt. The snorgtees.com website that advertises on here has some really funny nerdy ones.

    If he's old, then buy a gag gift. They forget all the "good" gifts, but remember the gags!
