He has every tool imaginable. I bought him a fire pit for his birthday a week ago, with skewers to roast marshmallows to go along with it. He likes gadgets, but this isn't my forte (like metal detectors and binoculars and compasses).

Well, Im a Dad, and I like gadgets (man toys) too. I had your same problem with my Dad until I realized I just had to get him gadgets that he wouldnt buy himself.
For instance last year I bought him an electronic rain gauge. HE LOVED IT!
As a son, I rock!
Then some time back I bought him an underwater movie camera. The kind you just dangle in the water and watch on a small screen.
Or, once I got him a pen voice recorder. I also bought him a wireless thermometer so he can tell what the temp is outside from his easy chair.
See, its just not that hard.
Good luck!

I found an interesting device that is a 1/4" to USB adaptor cable for hooking a musical instrument to a computer. If he has a muscial instrument, then it might be an idea.
But, I am in the same boat. I have no idea what to get mine, but I really want to find something useful for him.

Young Lady may I recommend a beautiful portrait of yourself.
Dress like a million dollars, find a professional who takes such
photos. Try to get something like a 12x18. He is your father, and
I'll bet he would love it. Good Luck Thoughtful Young Lady.

Buy your Dad the ingredients for S'mores and spend the evening with him. YOUR time is the most precious gift you can give.

Get him a gift card at some hardware store.

Buy him restraint. That way, he can stop having everything long enough for a proper gift.
