Pressie ideas?!

Hi all...

I need to pick your collective brain again!

Has anyone got any ideas for a birthday present for my dad??! He's in end stage PSP and can't move beyond small imprecise hand movements. We, as a family, have bought him endless cushions and wheat bags, foot massage things, photo frames, photo books... I'm running out of ideas! Any thoughts?!

Thank you!

Ahh sorry..I should have said... he's on a PEG so no food or drink.. Men are hard enough to buy for at the best of times ;)

Spend as much time as you can with your dad and pamper him. I am sure that’s what my husband would have preferred to get from his children now that he is not able to enjoy his coffee, and chocolates ( also PEG fed) and he has everything he needs around him. You remind him of my daughter who loves her dad very much. He must be proud of you. Have a good birthday!😊

Can't beat spending time with the person and lots of hugs.But how about some nice toiletries - shower gel, aftershave.

Does he like to hold something or fidget - a twiddlemuff could be an idea

Does he get cold hands - a muff, rather than gloves works well

Would he enjoy a massage - get somebody to come to the house and give him a neck, hand, shoulder, lower leg massage.

I'm sure whatever you do, he will feel the love and enjoy his day. xxx

A nice hand cream or essential oil. My husband loved getting his hands massaged which we found calmed him whenever he got anxious.

Happy birthday to your dad. 🎈🎂

Lots of love Nanny857xx

My mum enjoys these every now and then. Stuck some chilled music on and you both can relax together for 30 mins.
