What to Buy Dad? The Perfect Gift for Father’s Day
With Mother’s Day in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to focus on Father’s Day. After years of getting Dad a tie, it’s time to get him something meaningful and something he’ll actually use (rather than something he’ll wear for one day to please the gift-giver). We have done some research to find out what Dad’s would actually like to get on their special day.
For the Golfer
If your Dad is an avid-lover of golf, why not get him something that he can use every time he hits up the tee? The Approach S1 North America is a gadget that wakes him up, tracks how far he walks (or how much carting around he does…), and measures shots on 18,000 U.S. and Canadian golf courses. This gadget costs $180 (Garmin). Another option for the golfing Dad is a set of Hex Black Tour Golf Balls. They cost $46 (Callaway Golf).
Different Kind of Tool Kit
Dad probably already has all the tools he needs. But what Dad couldn’t use another pen or too? These pens look just like the tools from Dad’s tool kit. There are screwdrivers, hammers, wrenches, and hammers. Each pen costs $5 (NeatoShop).
Baseball BBQ’er
Want your Dad to feel like a champion, even when he’s BBQing? Let Dad embrace his inner Babe Ruth or Derek Jeter while flipping burgers or chargrilling the perfect steak with these baseball glove hot mitts from Urban Outfitters. Costs $14 (Urban Outfitters).
Games Night
Buying a gift for Dad that can be used with the whole family? Doesn’t get better than that! Buying a board game for Dad is always a good option. We suggest: Ticket to Ride (a game involving Geography and finding the best routes), Quelf (a hilarious game that gets everyone involved – not for the easily embarrassed), Cranium (fun for the whole family), and of course, the classics like Life, Monopoly, etc. (Amazon).
Cherish the Memories
Nothing says, “I love you, Dad,” like a personalized photo book. Take all your favorite memories with Dad and put them in a book. If you have iPhoto, you can do this through Apple.com, or if you don’t have a Mac, you can try photo book websites like Shutterfly.com. Prices range depending on book.
