Dad has got enough socks and neck ties to last him a life time. He may also be getting a tad jealous that Mum always receives nicer and more memorable gifts on Mother’s Day. And he’s probably hoping for something different this Father’s Day.
If that sounds like your Dad, give something this year that he will remember and treasure for a long time. Check out the following ideas to make this coming Father’s Day ultra special for Dad.
Give Dad an Adventure Gift
If Dad used to enjoy living on the edge, surprise him with an adventure gift that will wow the thrill seeker in him. Many companies now provide unique experiences for people who crave for something different. Check out websites selling vouchers for unique experiences such as rally driving, V8 racing, flight simulation, skydiving, aerobatic joy flights, high-speed jet boat riding, caving and abseiling. A word of caution, though. Don’t buy Dad a thrilling adventure gift if he has a weak heart!
Give a Dad Personalized Gift
If Dad has a sense of humor, personalized gifts featuring his photos are sure to delight him. It’s easy to get personalized T-shirts, mugs, caps, jackets and mouse pads. To tickle Dad even more, check out offerings by Lastlaughgifts.com. Email the website a photo and personalized message and the website operator will create a gift label to put on a wine bottle or magazine cover. Imagine having a wine named after Dad with his face on the bottle label or Dad being voted as “The Sexiest Man Alive” by pretend magazine readers!
Give Dad a Charity Gift
If Dad has a big heart and rarely thinks twice about helping others, honor him with a charity gift on Father’s Day. Charity organizations such as World Vision, CARE, Greater Good, Save The Children, Oxfam Unwrapped, the Red Cross and Unite for Sight are always in need of sponsorships and donations to help improve the lives of poorer communities and overcome poverty. Choose a charity gift in Dad’s name to make a difference. Charity gifts for organizations that strive to protect wild life and the environment make wonderful gifts too.
Give a Gift of Remembering for Dad
Help Dad put his life memories in words so that they can be shared among family and friends easily. Don’t worry if he doesn’t have flair for writing. There is a website that comes with tools to help people write, share, archive and print their life stories easily.
With a one-time registration fee to The Remembering Site, Dad will be able to chronicle important events from childhood through to grandparenthood and all the stages of life in between. When Dad has finished his work, he can email it to family and friends, have it archived on The Remembering Site so that it can be read anywhere or have it printed as a book to give to loved ones. Marvelous!
Choose a gift with a difference for Dad on Father’s Day. Instead of the usual ties, shirts and socks, give him something unique and memorable. Unique Father’s Day gifts include adventure gifts, personalized gifts, charity gifts and gifts or remembering.
