I just bought a Google Nexus 7 and it's badass.

How about spending time with him? Does he play golf? Buy him and yourself a round of golf. Go enjoy some quality time together. Buy him lunch afterward.

Is he into cars? Buy him some kind of track day / racing lessons.

Is he into automobile or classic American culture?

I'm getting my dad something from the American Picker's site once I find something really good, he loves that show.

How Ross said. I took my father out for a day of hunting and he shot a nice 12 pointer. It brought back so many old memories of going hunting in rio grande city when growing up but I kinda ruined it by shooting a 600+ lbs nilgai 1 hour later...lol

Cigars? I buy my Dad a box of smokes every year as well as something to wear that has Oklahoma Sooners on it.
