Guys my dad's 70th birthday is coming up AND he's retiring. 🥳

What would be a good gift for a boomer dad with lots of time and zero hobbies? He's super handy, but not interested in tech.

@Gina not really a present, but would a repair cafe be a place for him?
@semanticfire Meh he doesn't really like people that much.😅 I think he's perfectly happy with staying at home. He'll probably do endless projects on the house.

@Gina we build an image of your dad based on the things he doesn't like.
The infamous quote doubtfully attributed to Michelangelo on the creation of David, "I just chipped away all the marble that wasn't David"

We end up with what your dad likes, based on everything he doesn't like. 😉

@semanticfire I think I've decided on a book about growing your own food (they have a little greenhouse in their back yard), with some recipes (we always joke about his 2nd career being a chef - he can't boil an egg right now) and a seedling starter kit. Thanks for helping :)
