Other than the obligatory cheek kiss, why don't we celebrate our dad's special day with great Father's Day gift baskets that are sure to get him all excited and happy - I know you think he deserves it. Who else, beside your mom, have been there with you throughout every season in your life? He is always in the background of your life; but he never fails to come to your rescue when you need him.
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.
If fresh fruit gift baskets really have no place in your dad's heart; you don't need to push it. It's his day so prepare something he would like and just make it as healthy as possible. Take a large wicker basket and fill it with yummy treats like whole wheat bread, imported sausages, some fruit, nuts and maybe a bottle of sparkling wine. Your gift is not just a lovely lunch but a very rare picnic date together. Spend an afternoon of fun and bonding; it's something he would appreciate more than anything.
What does your dad like doing in his spare time? Is it playing golf? A new set of clubs might be a little too expensive but it still shouldn't be too difficult to work around this particular hobby. Find yourself an attractive little tote and place golf things inside - don't stop with the golf printed t-shirt, the sillier the better. Have a caricature of him made swinging a club and have this made into a personalized wall clock. Or if that's not readily available, buy custom made little muffins and cookies that are made to look like golf balls.
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.
An easy to do gift is putting together an album or two of his favorite songs you can download in the Internet. Google the pictures and get interesting trivia about the artists and print them out as your album's CD cover and present them to your dad in a cute little container. Not a music guy? DVDs then. Tie the cases of his most watched TV shows or movies with a pretty red ribbon and hand the goodie bag over with flair.
This is the one day in the year where dads are celebrated like the heroes that they are. He took time to wipe your every tear and provide for your every need - treat him like a king with a sweet disposition and lovingly made Father's Day gift baskets especially for him.
