Veeky Forums gifts

...

If you paint minis, a really good set piece is a great gift. Nagash from warhammer 40k or the draco-lich are both really good models that are great gifts.

Mine has lasted pretty well.

Do you frequently host games at your place ?

If you do, investing in a nice wooden table would be nice.
Don't ask for leather though, or you're gonna want to ban all kinds of food at your games

I have told all friends and family only ever to buy me two things, boolits and whisky for special occasions and I will be honest it is awesome wife and close friends know me well enough to buy something I like in addition to the above.

I strongly recommend doing this.

It keeps the dice from flying out of the shaker.

Do you like chess? If yes, than a beautiful custom set is nice.
I guess you're not really into knives though I would second that idea.
If you're into painting minis than a pro set of brushes might be nice.
Maybe a drinking horn?
Be sure to tell us what you decide to get in the end!

>not rolling for a gift like a true fa/tg/uy
but why?

He has no table upon which to roll.

I'd be wary of getting something that will last a lifetime in Veeky Forums flavor. Clearly your dad wants to give you something of a symbol of your transition into adulthood, or whatever. It's important. And not that gaming isn't important, or that you won't still enjoy it fifty years from now, or it's too childish, I'm looking at what kind of games you'll be playing in that time.

Is there any chance you might switch systems to something incompatible with a gift you're looking at (maybe in 20 years wargaming has changed enough that you don't need a huge ass table? Or what used to hold all your minis doesn't work with all the new units they introduced in 16th edition)? How much use will it get? How easily will it be lost? Specialty dice sound fun, but that could easily be eaten by a pet, dropped into the pocket dimension under the sofa, etc.

A nice table or bookshelf would be a good investment, if you host frequently or would like to. You'll always need a place to put your stuff. Maybe a real nice set for a classic game you like, like chess, mahjong, go, whatever. A good tool set of some kind could be nice too (I'm not a wargamer, but I bet a real nice set of brushes would get good use over many years).
