Write him a list of 45 things you love about him. He'll love it! It can be memories of nice things he's done for you, trips he took you on....anything! Have fun with it. There is nothing more important than telling the people we love that we love them and appreciate them!

Hang a Happy Birthday sign for him to see. Decorate. Make a cake yourself.

First of all know that whatever you get him he will love. It's from you. I'm 44 and things I have received from my kids this year; from my 9yr old a t-shirt that sats "Best Dad Hands Down" with her hand prints painted around it, from my 12 year old son a card he drew with a poem he wrote, from my 14 yr old girl a picture of her holding a sing she made saying, "I Love You Papa". My kids call me papa, long story.
If you are older, I would imagine you could be early to mid 20s, get him something for his favorite pass time.

Or, you could get him one of those small picture frames that says "Guardian Angel", put your picture on it and mount it in his car on the dash when he isn't looking. Then again he may not have much of a dash the way the make cars now so that might not work.

If he is in his 40s, he remembers remote control cars and model airplanes. I want to get my dad a model airplane kit that will actually fly when it is completed as he used to build and fly them when he was younger.

RE: 45th Birthday Ideas

I have known people to buy "45" of one item for a birthday party. It gets creative juices flowing, and can be a lot of fun. (The person I knew was at my office - she got 45 paper clips, 45 marshmallows, 45 cinammon rolls, 45 "depends", etc etc.) It was fun to see what everyone brought, and it didn't have to be expensive.

Don't forget the old 45's (records) that even the forty five year olds will fondly remember. 60's and 70's music will bring back memories of simpler, carefree times (09/18/2006)
