What to get the man who has everything

I need help.  My dad is visiting for Christmas, and I need to get him something ($50-$100 range).

Problem is, he already has everything.  He's very financially comfortable, and so things from Walmart or similar stores would piss him off as they're lesser quality.

I don't mind spending the money or getting the better quality item, because he does reciprocate.  And I appreciate the mindset...he'd rather not have some crap that will break or fall apart under normal use.

Anyhow, I can't get him anything bulky because he'll need to take it on the plane with him.  A gift card feels silly and thoughtless. 

So anyway...about him...

He's 59 years old.

Enjoys strategy-based games on his PlayStation 3, but also has a Netflix subscription so that he can get whatever games and send them back when he "beats" them.

Has a ridiculously huge fish tank that he's invested quite a bit in.

He's a TV lover.

Likes/appreciates personalized stuff (last year, we bought him a digital picture frame).

Enjoys photography, has a Nikon D3000.

Lives in Minnesota.  Where it's cold.

No wife/girlfriend/significant other.

DD is his first/only grandchild. 

Not sportsy, does quality engineering at work.
