What to get your dad

Every dad has a drawer: the gadget still in its box, the third torch, a gift he thanked you for and never opened. This page is about the other kind of present, the one he picks up on Saturday morning.

Why gifts for dad end up in a drawer

Not because he's ungrateful. Because nobody asked what he actually does on a Saturday.

  • The drawer of gadgets

    A pocket radio, a gadget still in its box, the third torch. He said thank you, put it away and never opened it. The money is gone, and so is the gift.

  • "I have everything"

    Ask him and dad changes the subject. Then, the week before his birthday, he goes and buys the drill himself, and your idea is too late.

  • The model matters

    He doesn't want any trimmer, he wants the one with the comb he's used to; a drill whose battery fits the tools he already has. Guess the wrong model and it goes straight in the drawer.

How Wishler helps here

Dad says it once, the family reads it from one link.

  1. Two minutes with him, on his phone

    Ask what's worn out, broken or on his "one day" list, and add it to his own Wishler. He pastes a shop link and Wishler fills in the photo and price (it may be approximate). The model and colour sit right on the wish.

  2. One link for the whole family

    Mum, the kids, his brother: everyone opens the same list in any browser, no app needed. A reserved gift shows as taken, so nobody brings a second flask.

  3. Chip in together on the drill

    On a pricey wish he switches on "chip in together". Everyone sees how much is collected and how much is left, the money goes straight to dad, and he buys exactly the model he picked. Wishler holds none of it.

Questions people ask

What to get my dad for his birthday?

Something for what he already does every week: a flask for the road, a nardi board, a cordless drill if he fixes everything at home himself. If you're not sure, ask him for three things and put them on a list.

What to get a dad who has everything?

Something he has, but worn out: the old nardi board, tools scattered over three drawers. "I have everything" usually means "I have everything, ten years old".

What to get dad for 50 lari?

A good steel flask, a handheld car vacuum or a compact mangal for the boot. All three get used, none of them ends up in the drawer.

How do we stop dad getting the same gift twice?

The family needs one place to see what's already taken. On dad's Wishler list, whoever reserves a gift marks it as taken, and the others pick something else.

This year, no new drawer

Two minutes with dad for the list, one link for the family, and the gift gets used the same weekend.
