Unique Gift Ideas for Father’s Day
After all, how many garishly colored ties does he really need? And doesn’t he already have enough tools? A gift certificate is practical, but hardly unique and borishly mundane. And while the thought may be appreciated, there is hardly enough room on the shelf for another dust collector bearing the words “World’s Best Dad!”
For Father’s Day this year, try selecting from a crop of gifts that he may not necessarily need or want, but will certainly be thankful to have received.
Every father needs some downtime after a hard day of work or an afternoon of yardwork. What better way to peacefully relax than on a comfortable hammock. More than just a simple stretch of canvas strung between two trees, hammocks come in many styles and designs, capable of providing instant comfort and blissful peace for the deserving father. The backyard hammock is a truly unique gift that every father will appreciate on Father’s Day.
Many fathers are notorious for gadget collecting, and masters of electronic devices. But many will also not readily admit that they falter when it comes to directions, as male pride and proud fatherhood dictates that they must never admit such a fault. So to satisfy one’s craving for electronic gadgets, and to sharpen their directional instincts, treat your father this Father’s Day to a GPS unit. Choices of GPS units are many, and prices can vary greatly, but a good GPS unit will provide much needed accurate directions for any location, and the superb technology of such a device is sure to please even the most critical of electronics masters. Many GPS units are capable of being easily mounted in a vehicle, and your family can be rest assured that with a GPS on board, they will stay on course and your father’s dignity will stay intact.
Fathers obviously want pictures of their family, but they likely don’t want the shelves cluttered with a multitude of frames that tend to gather dust every time you blink. A remarkably unique gift idea for Father’s Day is a digital photo frame. A popular item by Philips but likely produced by other companies as well, a digital photo frame is capable of storing over 50 high quality photos copied directly from your PC or memory card, and subsequently displaying a wonderful slideshow. Powered either by AC or rechargeable battery, the digital photo frame will help highlight your father’s greatest accomplishments; that big fish he caught, his wedding day, his new car, and most importantly, his children. The digital photo frame is a Father’s Day gift not likely to be forgotten.
Every father loves to barbecue. Masters of the outdoor grill, the scent of sizzling meat is like an intoxicating perfume. But the barbecue doesn’t have to be confined to the yard, With a portable barbecue grill, your father can set up his grilling station in any beautiful park, happily serving up hot dogs and hamburgers while surrounded by purely natural woodland settings, or on the shore of a majestic lake, or even in the parking lot of the local stadium for a great tailgate party.
If your father fancies himself a king of poker, or just merely enjoys the game on a frequent basis, he may find enjoyment in a professional poker case. With stunning quality design, a poker case traditionally includes a deck or two of playing cards and an ample supply of chips, along with other features or accessories depending upon the manufacturer. Sure to be the envy of his card-shark friends, whether he wins or loses, if your father loves cards, he’ll love a professional poker case for a gift this Father’s Day.
Hopefully this list contains something suitable for your father this Father’s Day, or at the very least, has helped you to think of another unique gift idea that your father will surely appreciate.
