For your dad's birthday, a gift that combines his passion for paper airplane design and competitions would be perfect. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas for him:

1. Paper Airplane Design Guidebook: Look for a high-quality guidebook that specifically focuses on paper airplane design and techniques. This will not only inspire him to create new designs but also help him improve his skills when it comes to competitions.

2. Origami Paper and Folding Tools: Enhance your dad's paper folding experience by gifting him a collection of origami paper in various colors and patterns. Additionally, consider getting him folding tools like a bone folder or a precision folding ruler to help him achieve precise folds and exceptional paper airplanes.

3. Paper Airplane Workshop or Class: Check if there are any workshops or classes available in your area that specifically teach paper airplane design and competition techniques. Gifting your dad a ticket to such an event would not only be a memorable and enjoyable experience but also an opportunity for him to meet other enthusiasts and learn from experts in the field.

4. Customized Paper Airplane Kit: Create a personalized paper airplane kit for your dad. Include different types of paper, instructions for making his favorite designs, and even some decorations like stickers or markers for him to customize his creations. This thoughtful and personalized gift will show how much you support his passion.

5. Virtual Reality Flight Simulator: Invest in a virtual reality flight simulator that allows your dad to experience the exhilaration of flying a paper airplane in a virtual world. This unique gift will provide him with an immersive and realistic experience while allowing him to test and refine his designs.

6. Book on the History of Paper Airplanes: If your dad enjoys reading, find a book that delves into the history of paper airplanes. It could explore the origins of paper flight, significant achievements in the field, and influential designers. This gift will not only entertain him but also deepen his understanding and appreciation for his passion.

7. Vintage Paper Airplane Art: Consider finding or commissioning a piece of artwork that features vintage paper airplane designs. This could be a framed print or even a custom painting. It will serve as a decorative reminder of his love for paper airplanes and add a unique touch to his living space.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that reflects your dad's interests and shows how much you appreciate and support his passion. With these ideas, you can celebrate his love for paper airplane design and competitions in a thoughtful and personal way.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
