25 Great Gifts for Dad
What do you get for the man who always knows best? Whether it's Father's Day or Christmas, his birthday or just because, you know a tie just won't cut it anymore. This collection of 25 gifts for dad ranges from the indulgent to the practical to the simply fun (we all know dad is just a big kid!).
While this list is a great start, when buying for dad, grandpa, or uncle, consider his interests. Does he like collecting baseball cards?
Visit a hobby shop for ideas. Does dad like to cook? Consider cookbooks, high-end equipment, or even foods and condiments from a mail-order supply or gourmet store. Another great no-fail gift idea is (if your budget allows) is to go away for the weekend. Failing that, try planning an outing that the whole family can take part in and enjoy.
Whatever gift for dad you choose, let your preschooler get in on the act by helping you shop and then wrap (and don't forget a handmade card!). Sure, if your preschooler is charge of the wrapping paper, the presentation might not be the best (think five or more bows!), but dad or grandpa or any other important guy will know that whatever is inside is truly from the heart!
Happy shopping!
