When he retired, retired he was still on dial up internet WAY after hi speed wifi became available.
So I bought him a wireless router, hooked him up with a hi speed provider and paid for his monthly service, with my sisters, for the rest of his life.
He loved it. It was something he would not have done for himself...which I think is the key for these type of gifts. Try and find that thing.
Good luck!

This is spot on - my son has bought me items I would not go out of my way to buy myself. I am grateful when he has shown me otherwise.
