Answer 9

I am myself a very strong chessplayer (ELO 2560) and I can tell you that it is better if you buy him a Chessbook and not a Chessboard.

If he is a longtime Chessplayer then he have for sure already a Chess-set and don't need a new Set. Chessplayers usually don't need fancy Chess-sets. They prefer normal Staunton Chess-sets and a normal board. A book is much cheaper and  usefully for your Father.

If you want to make him really happy then buy him a book about chess combinations. That is what all Chessplayers like.

Good Books to buy would be:

Karsten Muller and Judith Polgar - The Chesscafe Puzzle Book: Test and improve your tactical Vision (20 USD, I would buy this book!!!)

M. Tal - Attack with Mikhail Tal (20 USD, not bad, High quality)

I. Chernev - Combinations: The Heart of Chess (10 USD, 650 diagrams)

... and if you want to make a nice joke then you buy him a second book:

Murray Chandler - How to beat your Dad in Chess (15 USD, it is a nice book and for sure a good laugh from your Dad)

You can buy this books online on amazon.com or on other webpages. You get them delivered very fast.

Answer 11

Answer 12

any stores like walmart, target, or toy stores should have one

Answer 13

If you want a nice one, look for craft stores and stores that sell crafts from other countries.  I have seen beautiful chess games from parts of Africa and Asia.
