Present ideas for an older man

Present ideas for an older man who says he needs nothing: a framed print of the dog or grandchildren, a photo puzzle, a parks checklist and a photo blanket.

Present ideas for an older man are hard because he means it when he says he needs nothing. He does not need another sweater. What he has not got is his own life in print.

The people and the dog

  • A framed print (from $44) of the dog with its name underneath, or a collage of the grandchildren.
  • A framed canvas ($99) of the one photograph he would choose himself: the boat, the old house, the whole family.
  • A name mug set ($49) with "Dad" or "Grandpa" beside the family's names.

Something to do

  • A photo puzzle (from $42) of a place he knows, from 252 to 2000 pieces.
  • A national parks checklist print ($34) for a man who travelled and likes to remember where.

For the chair

  • A photo sherpa blanket (from $69) with a four-photo grid, for the armchair that is his.
