85th birthday gift

Help

I need some ideas for a gift for an 85 year old man. He isn't really into anthing, clothes are not an option.

I thought of getting the New York Times from the day he was born, but I need to allow 3 weeks for delivery, and I need it sooner

I was in the same situation for my great-uncle. I found out that he's a big Mets fan, so I went on e-bay and found an 8x10 pic of the '69 team.

At that age, keeping the mind active is important. How about one of those jumbo crossword books?

Good luck! Chat Icon

Does he have a lot of children and grandchildren? This year for my grandma's 91st birthday, we made her a collage on Kodak Gallery of pictures of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I got a poster sized frame from Michaels and put it in it and she LOVED it.

Great ideas, and I think the Greatest Generation is a great idea - I donlt think he does crosswords, and I don't think he would be into a photo colalge
