Father’s day gifts may spring to mind the usual aftershave, tie or shaver. The trouble with such gifts are that they may well be forgotten in a year’s time. Breaking old habits when it comes to shopping for Father’s day is likely to result in a memorable present.
Father’s Day Gift Ideas
The following suggestions may help inspire the sender into thinking up ideas for a great father’s day present:
- A well-conceived present requires time. Plan well ahead to find the perfect present to avoid resorting to the corner shop in a last minute panic.
- Take note of any passing comment father may express that may fit into a wish list. This may provide an idea for a gift to fulfil that wish
- Consider a present that has some relevance to dad’s childhood or former hobby
- For a truly unique gift, consider a handmade gift, if the sender possesses a talent in an area
Personalized Father’s Day Gift
Personalized gifts are a great way of making dad feel special. A back copy of the Times or the Daily Mail from the week of his birth may cause dad to wonder at the events of the day and the attitude of the time. An attractive gift box and a certificate of authenticity are included.
The sports fanatic may be thrilled to see his name on the back of a football shirt on a poster exhibiting a major sporting event. Further ideas for personalized gifts can be found in BuyaGift and GettingPersonal, such as personalized champagne, engraved jewellery and goods exhibiting a treasured photo.
Experience Days for Dad
For a dad who has everything a day out will provide a memorable experience. The adrenaline junkie may enjoy driving days, where a Ferrari or Lamborghini can be taken through its paces on a racing track, go skydiving into a wind tunnel, drive a tank, bungee jumping or go paintballing.
A more laid-back day may be in the form of a tour of a loved football stadium plus lunch, a game of golf at a premier location, or even a trip on a steam train through picturesque cities. Experience day vouchers on these themes are available from BuyaGift, in case dad is unsure of which experience he prefers.
Humorous Father’s Day Presents
A gift that creates nostalgia may provide the perfect Father’s day gift. Collectable items from KapowGifts will take dad back to the previous decade with lots of merchandise, on classic themes, such as the Blues Brothers, Carry On films, Monty Python, the Goonies, and more.
Fun gadgets such as My Mystery UFO or Robotic Arm Kit from IWantOneofThose will fulfil the inner boy. Alternatively, an executive hammock may allow dad to relax on his day off and read about the Worst Case Scenario or 101 Incredible Experiments to while away his day.
Inexpensive Father’s Day Gifts
A homemade gift is guaranteed to create an impression if money is an issue. Homemade chocolates or home brewed beer could be just what he wanted. Alternatively, a present that contributes to a hobby, leisure activity or sport such as a football gift is guaranteed to come in handy.
