What do you get the person who doesn't need anything but loves the outdoors?
My dad is notoriously impossible to shop for. He’s the type of guy who has every tool in the shed, buys whatever he wants for himself, and usually says don't get me anything for his birthday. He loves nature, but he’s also a total techy who loves a good gadget.
This year, I took a gamble and got him the smart bird feeder. It captures these incredibly clear close up videos of birds as they land. I wasn’t 100% sure if he’d actually set it up or if it would just sit in the box, but he has become absolutely obsessed. It’s now the highlight of his morning; he’s constantly sending the family group chat shots of Woodpeckers and Blue Jays.
He loves that it’s solar powered (so he didn't have to mess with wires) and that he can see the birds on his phone while he’s drinking his coffee.
Has anyone else found a perfect gift for a parent who already has everything? I feel like I finally peaked with this one, but I need ideas for my mom next!
