Maybe if there’s some cartoon he likes you could crochet a character from it. I know my dad loved Snoopy as a kid so I made an amigurumi Snoopy for his birthday.

If he has a fave food that can work, I just made my dad a crochet garlic bulb and he loved it!

You could make a beanie in the colors of the team he likes! I’m making my dad a beanie for his birthday in May :))

A football/sportsball shaped coaster, a keychain that looks like a jersey from his fave team/player, or cook his favorite snack or meal. Hope you figure out something he likes. My dad is very difficult to shop or craft for so I always give him an assortment of international random snacks to try.

Yw & tysm! I’m sure he’ll like whatever you make or do for his bday. :slightly_smiling_face:
Oh and one other easy gift for anybody with a car is car coasters-custom size cotton yarn crochet circle coasters to put on the bottom of the cup holders to absorb condensation/spills.
