Fathers Day Gifts Without Crafts

Moms gifts have never really been hard to buy

, but buying for dad is a nightmare because few stores and even fewer magazines can give you a real suggestion and times like fathers day you start to think about bringing out the old crafting box and making something for dad (you did it when you were little). Unfortunately, fathers day crafts are not the way to go if youre an adult or even a teenager. While crafts are something that work for mom, your dad wont appreciate them much. Here are three reasons why you shouldnt do a home craft project for your dad on fathers day.

He wont get it

Remember when you were little and youd draw stuff and whenever you showed it to your dad hed say What is it? Hes very likely to say that again about whatever it is you decide to make because while women have the genes to appreciate a hand crafted gift item men just dont understand that kind of stuff. The only thing that would work is a hand knit sweater (try not to make any patterns on it) and he might like. The only problem is that he wont be able to use it till winter.

There isnt much to make

If you were making a crafts project for your mom, you could scrap together some recipes and make a recipe book or a picture scrapbook but there isnt anything that you can make for your dad unless you count towels or bed sheets with hand prints and that only works as long you youre little and your handprints are cute. If you have kids you could put their handprints on it but men still dont get very enthusiastic about things like curtains, sheets or tiles.

Personalized may mean cheap

While the best thing about making gifts yourself instead of relying on stores to sell them to you is that the gifts will have an extremely personalized touch, the thing with men is that they actually do put a price on a lot of things. The cost and value of something means a lot to every guy and while men know that gifts arent about a price tag, a homemade gift might still mean you were cheap and being cheap on fathers day gifts doesnt come off very well.

As far as women are concerned, crafts are a high value gift but with men things tend to get complicated. If you want to buy a nice wholesome and useful or enjoyable fathers day gift for your husband, dad or son, try fathers day gift baskets. Theyre just as good as anything else that youd make at home and your dad will actually be able to figure out what it is. If you dont think fathers day fruit baskets are special enough, try fruit bouquets. Fruit bouquets are fruit sculptures made with a large variety of fresh fruit. They look like flowers and some fruits like strawberries, pineapples, apples, and bananas are dipped in chocolate (dark or white). If theres one thing any guy can appreciate its food.
