You can give your dad a kiss on the cheek any day; how about spectacular Father's Day gift baskets packed full with his favorite things this year? Besides your mom, he is the one person who has seen you in the good, the bad and the ugly - and loving you through it all. If anyone deserves some attention and TLC, it's the big man of the house and you know it.
The best thing about giving presents is that the receiver will feel obliged to use the gift - especially one that is carefully planned and sweetly presented. Use this to your advantage. If it seems sneaky, well it is. If your dad loves those calorie laden steaks and burgers, get him healthy gift baskets. Nothing gross and bland; fresh fruit baskets are yummy and popular choices that he might enjoy if given a chance - or if prodded into with discrete emotional blackmail.
Ok, maybe fresh fruit gift baskets are pushing it. You can still do something about it. They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and dads are no different. Put together a care package of whole wheat bread, some pieces of fruit (not a whole basket anymore), tasty broiled chicken or fish, and a couple of his favorite beer brand. Then go out and have a nice picnic lunch, just the both of you. Now that's definitely something he would appreciate.
What is your dad's favorite pastime? Is it bowling? Dress up a bowling ball in sparkly wrapping paper for a good but not so surprising gift. Or how about this, get a large enough container put in a few miniature bowling pins and stick little bow ties on the necks of each one. Paste photos of whomever on them and have fun playing a small tournament in your home. Fill the container with other bowling paraphernalia - chocolates and candies are best.
Let me tell you something else you already know, the cost of the gift is not parallel to the love you have for the recipient. More so if the people you are giving to are your parent's right? That being said, it gives us no license to not make an effort in giving the best that we can give. If this means a DIY gift basket, so be it - it will be more valuable that way.
Is your dad a fan of a particular sound? Put together a collection of songs and bands that play his genre of music. If he is a movie guy, then download his favorite movies and videos if possible. How about giving him a bouquet of sweet smelling corndogs dressed in mustard. Use your imagination, a good laugh is a great gift to give.
Now here's a day you can have an excuse to treat your dad like the superman that he is. He guides and he provides; he leads and he feeds - it's time for him to be treated royally. Give him lovingly made Father's Day gift baskets and make his year a great one.
