Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Father’s Day is coming soon.  As a father…I want to share some tips to help make it the best Father’s Day ever for your family.  First you need to recognize how your father speaks love to you and the people around him.

Does he say nice things to people all the time?  Is he always doing things for others to serve them or help them?  Does he love to spend time just hanging out?  Does he give lots of gifts to people? Or is he a touchy huggy person?

Your answer to these questions will help you plan the best Father’s Day present ever.  Here’s some ideas depending on what kind of dad you have.

Touchy/Huggy dad:

• Cuddle up on the couch and watch one of his favorite movies.  Or just sit close and lean your head on his shoulder like when you were young.
• Give him the warmest set of hugs spread out throughout the day.
• Give dad a massage or scratch his back/
• If you live a distance away make the trip to see your dad and do one of the above

Serving dad:

• Clean out or organize the garage or basement
• Mow the yard
• Mulch the flower beds
• If you live a distance away make the trip to see your dad and do one of the above, or hire someone to perform one of these services on your behalf.

Gift giving dad:

• Buy him an electric razor
• Buy him tickets to his favorite sporting event
• Buy him a new grill
• If you live a distance away this ones easy…send him a nice gift he will enjoy

Hang out dad:

• Go to a sporting event together
• Go on a bike ride
