Thoughtful Gifts for a Father

By Steven Bray


If you have children, ensuring they're equipped for Father's Day is important, and removing the stress from it will help your relationship with your partner. Children often don't have disposable income, so you can work with them by imagining what you would get your father. Your father has always been there for you. Whether it was taking you down for your first day at school or setting you up in the best of colleges, he has not only been there as a source of support but also as someone who has guided you in the right direction throughout your life. So, how about showing him some appreciation at least one day in the year by giving him the perfect Father's Day gift?

Thinking through the eyes of your children, you can either get Dad a present that he has always wanted for himself but never could think about spending his money on it, you could get him something that will make things quite simple for him but he may not know it, or you could get the children to make him something personal (this works best for younger children because they can do a painting or drawing).

Dad may love grilling but may never have realized that how many tools and accessories are actually there to improve his grilling experience. You may want to gift him a new grill or just add to his present repertoire by gifting him a digital meat thermometer that ensures that the steak is indeed cooked well. Then the whole family can share in the result.

Fishing is a real father-son activity that can be shared so how about a new compact fishing-rod tote? That also provides the opportunity to teach about water safety and the environment. A digital camera would also come in handy so that he could capture all the special moments that he spends with you and your children. If you are looking for something that he can do on his computer, then how about some new exciting computer games?

A father who loves to play golf would always appreciate new golfing equipment to improve his game and impress his buddies. If he is a sports fan, taking him to a game in which his favorite team is playing, will create memories that will long be remembered not only by your Dad but also by you.

Does Daddy love wine? Then maybe a gift of top-shelf booze aged more than 15 years will impress him. Expensive top quality wine is something that your father may always want. This is a better gift for teenagers because you can use the opportunity to teach them about responsible drinking.

There are many new gadgets also that you could give your Dad. Some options are handheld GPS devices or a gadget charger for the car or a travel charger. He may also love to get a new home theater system or a new CD player to watch his favorite movies or listen to his favorite music.

If father is constantly bothered by sores and aches, you could also buy him a relaxing massage pillow or electronic massagers perfect for car and office seats. Whatever you decide, make sure that the children have some say, and that it fits within your budget. Ultimately it's the thought that counts.
