I would like something that he could have as a reminder of his birthday. I was thinking of maybe donating to a third world cause in his name , like maybe providing funds for something in agriculture or a well or something. He is quite religious and so a Christian or Catholic charity might be good. His birthday is in a week.

Depends on how much time you have, too. One gift I once gave for a birthday was a book of letters. I stole her address book a few months before her birthday, then copied it. I wrote to all her friends an family and asked them to (keep it a secret and) write a letter to her, telling how much they liked her or a favorite memory. Then I compiled them all in a book and gave it to her for her birthday. An 80th birthday would be a good occasion. Good luck!

How about taking him mini-golfing and donate an amount that is comfortable for you, say, per stroke, or for a hole in one, I think you get the idea... plus everybody can enjoy a round of miniature golf now and then. Plus it makes time for visiting- it would be good to have a couple of family members and/or friends of his along . As far as him liking "visiting"- take him to a nice restaurant afterwards, and by all means- wish him a very Happy Birthday- and here's to the next 80-bless his heart!!!

Hi Scarlet!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR DAD!!! 80 IS GOOD!!!
If you make the donation or charity it would NOT be his gift it will be yours. Try buying a ticket to some place you know he might enjoy visiting, since he likes to visit. A Caribbean Cruise, or a trip to some place where they have charity sent. Probably he would like to see for himself, the situation, and come back with better ideas for charity fund raising.
GOOD LUCK, GOD BLESS YOU & HAPPY LIFE

When I saw the heading of your question I was going to suggest a charity. From how you described him that would be a fitting gift for him. He sounds like a great guy.

Check out Heifer International. You can purchase animals to be given to communities in third-world countries to help them sustain themselves. You can buy a cow, chickens, goats, etc. It's not a one time gift, it's one that keeps on giving.
You can also plant trees in his name, or create something for a community (like the well you mentioned) and post a plaque in his name.

no no honey-- your thinking is all wrong. First have some of his friends over to surprise him. Have some food, some drinks, etc. then get him a hot stripper!!!! Lots of leather, hot woman, maybe a little chocolate sauce!!! he may be 80, but its still fun to look at his age!!!!! party on!!!!
