Even More Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Father’s Day gifts can be difficult to come up with. Usually when dad wants something, he finds a way to get it for himself. So, when a holiday comes up that requires you to get a gift that will express your love and appreciation for their being your dad, can be hard. Here are a few good ideas for Father’s Day gifts:

Ties: giving a dad a tie is a classic Father’s Day gift. Only, this year, make it special. Get a tie with the logo of their favorite sport team, or a really nice tie, not just something you can pick up at a local department store. If you are going to get dad a tie, find one that he can wear often, and will feel good while wearing.

Video games: Most males enjoy video games, it is a stereotype, but it is one for a reason. So, if your dad likes gaming of any kind, consider getting them a new game to enjoy. You can get the latest version of their favorite game type, or visit a local video game store to find out what the most popular games are for the console or system they have. This is a great gift because it gives them something they can do in their spare time for a while, and is fun. It is not something they need, or would buy for themselves out of necessity, which makes it a wonderful gift. Just be sure to keep a gift receipt so that they can return it if it is not the game type they most enjoy. Another option is to get a new gaming system with games, or a hand held gaming system like the DSi.

Try making memories for a Father’s Day gift that is unforgettable.

Electronic gadgets: there are a number of different electronics that would make great gifts for Father’s Day. For example, an iPod, a new cell phone, a Nook, or other e-book reader, a GPS, etc. all make fantastic Father’s Day gifts. They are fun, and will provide your dad with hours of enjoyment, can make life easier, and are usually the types of things people want. So, consider what your dad is into. Does he listen to music or audio books? Would he appreciate a navigation system? Would a better phone, or e-book reader be appreciated?

Experience: Often “things” are easy to come by, and many dads have the “things” they most want, at least the ones that are reasonably priced, so a better gift for a dad is an experience. For example, get them tickets to the theater, buy a round of golf at a local golf course, or send them on a weekend vacation. Ask yourself what your dad is interested in. Do they have any hobbies? If so, find an experience that can incorporate those hobbies. For example, if your dad loves to tie flies, buy them a fishing trip to a river they may want to try, etc.
