subject: Fathers Day Gifts That Are Different [print this page] The only thing all fathers have in common is that they all have kids, other than that; theyre about as different from each other as they come. Not all dads will be in to sports, not all dads will support the same team or the same game, and some might actually prefer spending time in the garage as opposed to spending time with the family. All these dads however look forward to getting a nice fathers day gift.
No matter how tough any guy is, or how much he insists that flowers are girly, hell still expect an acknowledging gift to find its way to his doorstep (or garage door) on fathers day. Since its your dad, youll know him enough to be able to pick a gift thats close to his interests like tools or video games, however the fact about these gifts is that theyre pretty common gifts for men and they dont do the whole spirit of fathers day justice.
If you compare how much time and money you spend on buying a mothers day gift youll realize that you kind of neglect dad. With it comes to buying him gifts all you do is go to a sports store or visit a hardware shop and pick out whatever is trending in nails and hammers. If your dad is into this kind of stuff there isnt anything wrong with it but these kinds of gifts are meant to be birthday gifts at the most. They cant really act as an acknowledgement of a fathers role and the worst part is that unlike mothers day there are no flowers that can say it all to your dad.
What you need to do is take these ordinary gifts to the next level. Instead of just buying yet another sports jersey for your dad, buy him a collectable. It might cost you a lot of money but your gift will be special and hell like it. Instead of going with ordinary tools and hardware that your dad might already have, give him whatever is the next big thing in workshops. If you find yourself somewhat short on funds try going for some of his simpler interest. A common interest in all men (and women) is food.
Food is a good gift for most people because you dont have to worry if itll be used or not, since everyone eats. Some people have different tastes but it all depends on you buying a food themed gift that will your dad will like. Fruit is pretty much the failsafe thing here and fathers day fruit baskets are always an excellent choice. If you think fruit baskets arent special enough try fruit bouquets. Fruit bouquets are handmade fruit sculptors that look like flowers. Before you start thinking that theyre too girly, you should explore what they look like. They come in special sports themed containers so itll take out the girly side of it and give you a unique fathers day gift option.
