feel free to steal my idea.... i had family memebers and friends write down some memories, funny ones or just good ones and if they had it pictures..... each member wrote a couple and then I divided them up into 50 envelopes and watched him open them one by one.... some envelopes just had a picture others had just a short saying like remember that time by the lake..... and then the next one had remember the other time by the lake..... and had the person tell a little story..... the last envelope (the 51st you know one for good luck) said this is for the next great memory of your choice to tell..... my dad is a sentemental type of guy and I threw in a fender shirt and some guitar strings cuz he loves to play the guitar

I never know what to buy good ole Dad, either.  He doesn't wear ties and I can't give him a sickening sweet Hallmark card. 

Cash or a gift card might be a good idea.  I guess it is time to get serious about investing and shipping something.
