I need your help! Gift idea for my father, his bday is today.

[Chiboy]

He turns 53 today, as always I do things at the last second. I remember last year, I got him a nice pair of shoes which he loved. This year, I have no idea. What I can say is, he loves electronics. Just got himself a nice 65" HDTV. He didnt get a stand though.... but that might be a lame gift. He's a family man, always trying to make the house look better. Never goes out, he's either at work or at home. Any suggestions? say upto ~200ish.

Thanks!

No, he's not a drinker.

 

[Syrch]

what about an HD DVD player to go with his new HDTV?

 

[badkarma1399]

Does he watch/buy a lot of movies? maybe a HDDVD player?

EDIT: Damnit beaten....

 

[Syrch]

what about a harmony universal remote?

remote $150
A-3 $199

 

[Chiboy]

HDDVD might be just the thing! He's been wanting the Rush Hour 3 dvd, & that would look even better in HD! The bargain hunter in me is now on the prowl, untill than if you have any more suggestion let me know! & thank you to Syrch & karma for posting.

Rush hour 3 is on blu ray though

Rush Hour 3 on Blu-Ray at Amazon. $27

Blu-Ray Players

really think you'll have a hard time hitting the $200 mark with a blu-ray player

I don't think he'd consider a TV Stand a lame gift.

You might be right, but will a 65" TV Stand fit in my little Forenza? If anything i'll take a bigger car but what stand should I get? Link to TV
