"what kind of hobbies/home"

I'm thinking things that he can do at the table or chair because walking is difficult right now. So small woodcraft, electronic kits, things for the house to make things easier, easy to care for plants he could tend in the yard, mechanical or accessories for the car. Things like that

You left out Victoria’s Secret. Their catalog might entertain him too.

Probably not a good idea for someone with a bad back... ;-)

You beat me to it.

"BIG CATALOG SITE"

Thanks Red !

There are great printed catalogs from most of the following sources. You just have to ask for them.

Sorry I don't have much... ;-D

grizzly.com and jameco.com were missing from my list.

NorthernTool.com

One of the best companies that I’ve found for nearly anything. Great prices, customer service and great shipping.

Big free catalog.

I love this one, never a dull issue

http://www.sciplus.com/CatalogRequest

MariTool.com is the best that I’ve found for machine tool supplies (drills, mills, etc.). There’s no hardcopy catalog. But if he knows what he wants when calling, there’s a number.

Land’s End and Eddie Bauer. Outdoors, wintry, and cozy.

Excellent list thank you...’V’
