Father’s Day is a special day for any man who is a dad. However, cards made by the little ones and his favorite homemade food are not all you can do for him. There are a wide variety of popular Father’s Day gifts you can choose from to surprise him. Some easy ideas are:
A gift card to Home Depot, Lowe’s, or your favorite hardware store: I’ve learned from years of experience with my husband that hardware stores are really a “toy store” for men. Any man can make twelve trips to a hardware store in a week and never get tired. He will not only appreciate the gift, but he will do something around the house or in the garden!
Fun Electronics: Think digital cameras, MP3 players, widescreen TVs, DVD players, laptops…anything electronic. Many of these popular Father’s Day gifts can be expensive, so be sure to save.
Personalized Gifts: Picture frames, plaques, and figurines can commemorate a particular Father’s Day. You can also buy mugs and t-shirts with photos and special messages.
A Gift Certificate to a Hobby or Specialty Store: Whether Dad loves golfing, photography, woodworking, or wine, there’s a specialty store for that! Get him a gift certificate that he can use however he wants.
A gift certificate to your favorite restaurant: Most restaurants offer gift cards or certificates in many amounts. Choose dad’s favorite restaurant and bring him a meal as a gift. To make it even more special, plan the whole night for Father’s Day and invite him to eat there.
Clothes: Dads can always wear work clothes, casual clothes and clothes for housework. Find out which area of dad’s wardrobe is missing the most and fill in the gaps. Trick dad by taking him to the mall and find out what colors and styles he likes before you shop.
Other popular Father’s Day gifts are, of course, crafts you can do with your kids at home. Anything from the heart will be popular with dad!
