Father’s Day gift for elderly dads
With a week until Father’s Day, many people are wondering what to get the dad in their life. It can be especially hard to pick out something for an older person who doesn’t need much “stuff”.
Paula Spencer of Caring.com tells us about selecting a gift for her aging dad:
He doesn’t seem to care about gifts. (Who needs more stuff at 86?) Flowers were always welcome on Mother’s Day, but Dad would just give them to my sister-in-law (who deserves them, but that’s another point).

I have never known what to get my dad for Father’s Day. When I was small, I always got him Old Spice. This year, I’m giving him a warehouse club gift card, and my daughter is giving him a gift card to his favorite restaurant. He’s actually told me that he prefers gift cards, so that’s what he gets. But you know, I should throw in some Old Spice for good measure.
