Select a few that are unique, reminiscent of interesting occasions and milestones in his life. Create a photo collage or a scrapbook. Do it yourself, or have it done professionally.

Gardening tools

Buy a gardening tool set and have his name engraved on the tool case and on the tools. Buy unique and tasteful garden ornaments. Gift him a set of seeds of summer or winter plants along with a few planters.

Newspaper headlines from the day he was born
