How about some music from the fifties when he was a energetic young man.... something that will make him feel he wants to Bop and Swing and dance to the music of his youth........just a thought:)

Lordie...He's only 70!

Buy him what ere he fancies or tak him for a meal.

Ye know his interests div ye no!:mad:

[silverfox57]

if he has not got one ,would say a computer,as they say anything which you have to use your brain in old age is good for you,

[Kenn]

A book by his favourite author, a cd of favourite music, a special bottle of port,red wine or whisky,some bulbs or plants for the garden if he's active and has one,a framed picture of a subject connected to his past.

[Iffy]

You don't tell us your relationship with this 70 year old man - I'm surmising he's your Dad/Uncle/Father-In-Law - good grief that covers a fair amount of possible presents then !! My dear Dad was 80 a couple of years ago and we bought him a really good watch - before that he always believed in "Wotsits" best and, because, I lost my Darling Mum 11 years ago, she was never there to advise him any different ...

[footie chick]

A gift voucher for whatever tickles his fancy :eek::eek:

Or for a more sober idea how about a newspaper or something from the day he was born? Or name him a star???

[dook]

A shark. I've always wanted one and I'm 35. By the time I'm 70 I'll want one twice as much. Easy

[blowfish]

a one foot slipper. get him another one if he has two legs still

[Welcomefamily]

A bottle of resveratrol.

[dook]

a one foot slipper. get him another one if he has two legs still

All depends if he got the shark or not

[Bad Manners]

A seventy year old woman

[flyonthewall]

If he likes whisky then you get vouchers at the Pulteney Distillery that he can go there, pour his own bottle, seal/wax the bottle and write his own label.

Its something different.

[Whitewater]

A years supply of Viagra, perhaps you will 6 months supply back after he wears himself out, but just think of the pleasure you gave him.

[Tighsonas4]

Lordie...He's only 70!

Buy him what ere he fancies or tak him for a meal.

Ye know his interests div ye no!:mad:

will soon be 83 so i should know give him my regards tony

[Melancholy Man]

A seventy year old woman

A 42 year old woman.

[alanatkie]

Depends what there interests are, could be a coin collection from the year they were born , a glass or decanter ingraved with their surname by Country Images, Dornoch 01862 810206 they have some lovely glasswear(they also deliver (have website but not working at the moment)

[sassylass]

Try to find a consumable gift as most people past the age of 40 don't need or want more possessions.

[_Ju_]

Or if you know him really well (as in family) and have acess to family photo albums get a collage frame and fill it with moments from his life.

I recently bought my father a nuts and bolts ornament / keep sake. You can get them in many different themes and are good if you want something he can keep. I have attached a link to the website below.

How about a flight with the fellow at the airport - see a different view of Caithness, fly over the house.
See Caithness from a visitors viewpoint - old fridges etc and rubbish dumped in corners of fields, middle of the moors - anywhere the disposer thinks will not be noticed, the piles of old cars, fridges, washing machines etc taken miles and dumped is really noticeable but so are the beautiful beaches and scenery. Thooooroughly enjoyed trips on the aircraft.

How about a trip out for a few on one of those sealife trips or bird watching trips - many in Caithness have never been on a trip and they are great to see the wildlife and a different view of Stroma, Duncansby etc.

70 the person should still be fit enough and want to do something memorable.

[balto]

it really depends on what the gentleman is into really, why not take him out for a nice meal, as if he is on his own then mayby he doesnt get out alot, so a meal might perk him up.
