Alpacas wear socks?
Pssh, do alpacas even wear socks?
They don't have pockets, so yeah, it's where they keep their cash and credit cards.
LOL I've got 2 year old gift cards in my wallet. I keep forgetting to use them.
Well, I am an older dude per your description. I appreciate all gifts however many were not practical. When you get into older dude status it really is okay. HOWEVER, one xmas my son bought me a pair of indoor/outdoor slippers, lite shoes, what ever you would like to call them. His reasoning for this gift was because we had dogs. Of course I was voted to be the "take the dogs out custodian". So that was his reasoning. That was long ago and I still buy them today. No more dogs. But a great combo shoe. AND, they are no more than $15 and bought a few pairs on sale for $9. Go get the mail, bring out the garbage. It's a winner.
I have a Outback Gift Card still. Over 25 years. Maybe older. Every time the wife and I would go, we were always seated by screaming babies or kids running around. We would always leave. I called one day and said the card never expires. That's good I may use it when I get buried and have a small get together at Outback. I am sure the babies and kids have grown.
I usually have one or two specific things, and one of those things is always some new bit of UConn gear. This year it's these warmups, on sale as fortunately I'm the only size they have left.
If I'm being honest, I've lost out on a few too. I never keep them in my wallet though... already too full.
Booze. Assuming they drink it. More generically, many "older dudes" have what they need, but may not be inclined to splurge on nicer things. So get a nicer thing (like really good wine, whiskey) or other thing that's perhaps not the "value" option.
Also, nice LED flashlights. Visited my parents recently and they are constantly using a flashlight I got them years ago.
An "eat", a "wear", a "read", or an "experience".
Are those the only categories? Experience sounds sensible
