what can i give my father who works abroad?

oh my gosh i am soooooo late on responding at your discussion. we are both from the philippines so my suggestion is mail him some goodies from goldilocks... it is a tetrs pack form so it will not spoil easily. there are dinuguan, bopis and lechon paksiw. i know he will enjoy that.

A painting of something he loves, maybe himself in the painting... Find a photo of him, and upload from PC (or mail it) to http://www.paintyourlife.com/ they make your painting and deliver it to you or anywhere you want. They have pro artists that will follow also any instructions you give them while doing the painting. Choosing a small size will take less time and be cheaper. Karl

First of all just try to speak to him and let him know how much you miss being there with him to wish on this occassion. later send him a card which would express your feelings exactly the way you think or the importance of his place in your life. when you get to meet him, try to take up some nice gift, you must be knowing your father's likes n dislikes na.

You can send him a picture :)

i guess anything done with sincere effort and time will be greatly appreciated by your dad.
