Dads love gadgets, cool stuff, or tools that solve problems and fix things. Whether it’s for Father’s Day or year-round gifting, when it comes to giving dad a gift, observe what he loves to do and find a gift that matches his interests. Save dad time, money, and energy and you’ll have a homerun hit. Select a present that solves a problem and gift a present that will put a smile on his face and he’ll truly enjoy.
Along with a gift that keeps on giving, one of the best gifts you can gift dad is your time. Give dad a homemade gift card redeemable for an entire day to spend with the amazing, priceless, wonderful you and give the gift of togetherness. Involve the entire family or grandkids and watch his face light up. Make it your treat and indulge dad with your full attention for a day he’ll never forget, visiting his childhood neighborhood, favorite places to eat, sampling new flavors of ice cream, and more. Play his favorite games, watch a rerun of a championship game, old home movies, or just hang out together.
Your attention is a gift that will mean the most, and get to know your dad, his favorite memories and listen to his philosophy of life. It will be a gift you give yourself, along with a way to get closer to dad. And just in case you want a few cool ideas for the dad who values neat stuff, here are some ideas to set the stage for dad’s interest-focused gifting.
