Buying Fathers Day Gifts With Little Or No Time Left
Fathers day is on the third Sunday of June and that means you get more time to think (or forget) about what gifts youre going to buy for dad. With mom and Mothers day, you never know when the second week of May starts (because its the second) but once June is half way though you literally have no excuse for not having enough time to buy a decent fathers day gift.
Add to that the fact that your dad will definitely expect his gift to be as good as what you got your mom and youre under a lot of pressure to live up to those expectations. The only problem is that buying a gift for mom was easy, it was either flowers or jewelry and mom isnt as demanding (or critical) as dad. There are no flowers and jewelry type things for fathers day gifts, there arent any obvious and easy solutions and trying to go to the quirky side of gifts by giving your dad flowers will get you in trouble (lots of it).
The real problem with buying a gift for dad (especially if youre a teenager still living with your parents) is the fact that all the best and highly recommended gifts wont be in your budget until you turn forty. You cant just go to the local supermarket and buy your dad toothpaste or aftershave because thats the same as buying chocolate for mom from the concession store. The alternative to the car themed or sports themed gifts that are available are key chains and jerseys and theyre just too small. When your dad compares them to how big the flowers were that you got your mom, he wont feel the love.
Instead of going with these ordinary gifts for your dad try a little something different like fathers day gift baskets. Your dad will like the fact that he gets different kinds of fruits in one basket. If you think a fruit basket might not work for him; try a fruit bouquet. Fruit bouquets are fruit gifts like gift baskets but theyre fruit sculptures that look like flowers. Theyre made with a huge variety of fruit like strawberries, pineapples, apples, oranges and lots more. No matter what your dad says, hell enjoy a food gift, especially one that looks this good.
