Listen to their hints they do by just taking to you of what they like or don’t like.
My dad like Harley Davidson, so anything with that on it is a hit.
Once my mom and me bought him a Harley Davidson phone together. When it broke, still a cute what not.
My dad had a Harley Davidson for years.
Also remember their favorite actress or movies.
I always heard my dad love the movie Syanorna.
About an American in-love with a Japanese woman.
It played on AMERICAN MOVIE CLASSIC once on cable.
I tape it and mail it to him. My mom says he still watches the movie.
This has been at least two years ago.
So pay attention to their actors and actress and movies, it will give you hints. I didn’t give it to him because of any special reason other than I knew he like it. I called him long distant just to tell him it was on and I was taping it.
I found out a few months ago what he like to have too, a baseball cap with his ship from the Korean war on it. He has one but they messed up on the spelling.
So now I have new ideas of a gift and we just talked about in passing. So little bits of their wants will come through, just listen.
A baby picture of him in a frame. I gave that once to him. He like that.
