Guy's 70th birthday gift suggestions?

I'm looking for gift ideas for a family friend. His wife is having a surprise dinner at a local casual cafe that he likes. Nothing golf, movie, fishing, hunting, or gift card related. I would like something instead more of a funny gift......70 of something or something unique and funny you've seen? Ugh, my creativity is zero right now. Thanks for any ideas you might offer. Demitra

How about some funny socks? It makes me think of the elder Bush.... he always looks so funny and happy in his neat socks.

Great ideas! I like these tshirts better than the " Old Guys Rule " shirts. Don't like those.

One of those news things that says how much things cost when he was born, was music was popular, what was going on in the world, etc.. You can do his birth year or when he was 18 or any age. People always get a kick out of that.

An Ipod nano loaded with music that he likes.

A great book about something that interests him & chocolate.

Good bottle of wine.

A gift basket filled with different homemade jams from a market.

Or a gift basket of different cheese and crackers.
