He's a little older now, his hair is greying slightly or significantly, and he's a little slower than he used to be.
But you love him more than ever, and this year you need a hot Christmas gift for him, but you're completely out of great Christmas gift ideas.
Here are seven of the best Christmas gifts for an older man.
1. An LP-to-iPod adapter. He still has a secret stash of LPs tucked away somewhere that he wants to listen to but can't because his equipment is broken or simply too old.
What about a turntable that converts his LPs into a format that can be played on an iPod or Nano, complete with software to help eliminate the annoying pops and crackles that are so common on LPs?
2. An iPod or iPod Nano. Giving him a turntable to convert his old LPs into a format that will play on his iPod or Nano is probably pointless because he doesn't have one. Get him an iPod and he'll understand why kids adore them.
Alternatively, get him numbers 1 and 2 together as a Christmas gift and he can listen to his old LPs wherever he wants.
3. A digital to 35mm slide or negative converter. As a result, he will be able to digitize all of his old slides and negatives. Digital photos are extremely useful; he can do so much with them. And he can digitalize all or some of his old slides and negatives, load them all onto his computer, and they're all there, ready for a slide show.
4. A robot that cleans the gutters. He's gotten a little tired of climbing up on the roof and would prefer to hire someone to clean out the gutters.
Why not save him the money and give him a gutter cleaning robot for Christmas instead? It cleans the gutters of leaves, small branches, and dirt. It is controlled by a hand-held remote and runs on rechargeable batteries, as designed by US army roboticists.
5. A smooth progression The alarm clock. Instead of the jarring wake-up call from his clock/radio alarm, there's an easier way. Half an hour before waking up, the clock begins to glow slightly, gradually brightening and warming, releasing aromatherapy aromas into the bedroom environment. Then a gradual increase in personally selected nature sounds, culminating in an alarm at wake-up time.
The ideal Christmas present for the man who has earned the right to a peaceful awakening. It can also be used to encourage him to sleep if he isn't sleeping as well as he used to.
6. An ear warmer that is acoustic. He probably doesn't hear as well as he used to and feels the cold more than he used to, just like me. Give him some ear warmers so he can hear clearly. Designed to allow sound to pass through so he doesn't have to ask you to repeat what you said all the time.
And number seven is a top Christmas gift idea for your favorite older man this holiday season. A beverage buggy that can be controlled remotely.
It's a scale model dune buggy with holders for two 16-ounce cans or bottles of his favorite beverage. He holds the remote and directs the dune buggy to the fridge, where one of his willing accomplices places his two drinks in it to be returned to him. It's a laugh, and it allows him to drink whatever he wants without getting out of his chair. He has, after all, earned it.
This year, there are 7 very unique Christmas gift ideas for the older man. So, please, no excuses about being unable to come up with a single idea.
