Look for gifts like an important radio broadcast that effected his life. Geographical maps, books, foods from a favored country he has talked about. Add a note saying that this gift reminded me of the stories you share with me.

Another historical area and very important is nostalgic history you two shared. This will hold a special place for both of you to remember. Find a gift that celebrates something you shared or wish you could have shared. Its not too late to go to that ball game together or explore a passion he tried to teach you as a kid and you just weren’t interested at the time. Revisit those areas, memories with him. Find out or try to remember what were his dreams when he was a young man. Figure out a gift related to those early dreams, unachieved or achieved. Acknowledge that you know him well and that you want to share in his dreams.

Large gifts of this type are good to give as a family group gift then everyone feels part of this special gift.
