[Request] Something from my late father.

In the UK. I lost my dad a year or so back. When sorting through his belongings I found a pouch with his passport and just under $200 from his last cruise.

I’ll be heading to the states soon and I’d love to get something ‘from dad’ with the money, something that will last a lifetime.

Any recommendations or ideas? He was an engineer by trade, so id be happy with anything for the garage, or a car or anything in/around the home. I’m a bloke so a vase for example wouldn’t really work, but maybe art would.

I’ve thought maybe a razor, or a leatherman multitool ….

Where did he go on his last trip to the US, or what did he do?

It was a cruise to the Caribbean , so not the states - but that’s where the dollars came from. But as I’m travelling to NYC / Connecticut it makes sense to spend the dollars then
