Different Father’s Day Gifts that Beat a Tie
You love your dad, and you want to show it. You think maybe, however, that he has gotten enough ties, handkerchiefs, socks, and other typical gifts for Father’s Day, his birthday, or Christmas. He probably has enough of those to last for years to come. Just what can you get him this Father’s Day?
If he enjoys something really different, he might enjoy a giant chocolate Father’s Day card. The Hershey Company does make them. You can even put a personalized message on it. He might enjoy a large can of cookies.
Maybe he might like a classic pinball game or arcade game from the 1980’s and 1990’s. One can be purchased from http://www.GameCabinetsInc.com.
Does he like giving to others? There are no doubt a variety of organizations that one can buy from for which a portion of the profits go to benefit others. One can buy polo shirts and tee shirts, scarves, note cards, ties, and calendars, and 100% of the profits from your purchase from the savethechildren.org website will go to benefit children.
Is your dad more traditional? Does your dad like sports? Maybe you can buy him tickets to see his favorite team play-especially for a doubleheader. If you have enough money, buy him season tickets; he’ll really remember that. Does he like racing? Maybe he would like to build a model car. He might enjoy your help in building it.
Does he like action movies? Buy him a DVD. Does he not have a DVD player; buy him one.
What does he like? Think about it, and you will be able to come up with the ideal gift. Does he enjoy music, computer games, taking pictures, or working on his car, other handiwork? He might like a digital camera, a CD collection of his favorite artist, a new game for his computer, or the tools necessary to work on the car. Power tools are always a popular gift at Father’s Day. He can never have too many, even if his garage is full of them. His computer might need additional memory you could buy, new parts, or additional software.
Maybe he might prefer a gift certificate to buy any of the things mentioned in this article, or perhaps even to a restaurant. Does he like to eat out?
Do local salons, spas, or chiropractic offices have gift certificates? Maybe he would enjoy a massage.
Do you or your siblings have children? He might like a camcorder and a visit from all of you, so he can have something to remember his children and grandchildren by when you’re not around. Maybe he has a personal computer, but would like a laptop. If he does a lot of traveling but already has a camera and camcorder, he might appreciate binoculars.
Maybe in addition to anything you might buy him, he might just appreciate your time to help him work on his car, use his power tools, putting a model car together, or maybe you could even go on his next trip with him.
No doubt there are countless ideas out there for your father that were not touched on. Maybe these ideas have spurred some thought, however.
