Your father is a very special person in your life. He is someone to look up to, who took care of you when you were younger and someone you can always go to for support. A father's love is an amazing gift, and a father is always deserving of a gift in return.
The Sports Dad
For a dad that is sporty there are many possible gifts. For a golfer, give him a golf gift basket that includes golf balls, tees, a ball marker, a towel and a gift certificate for a tee time at his favorite course. Outdoor lawn games can be fun with the whole family. Choices can include badminton, croquet, Frisbee golf and horseshoes. Gear for his favorite team is another choice. An official jersey from his favorite team's website as well as tickets to watch his team play are also great choices.
The Outdoors Dad
For a dad who likes the outdoors there are many options. Fishing gear can include a rod, bait and a tackle box along with a fishing license. Give backpacking gear for hiking and mountain climbing. Camping gear is another great option and one that you can plan to share with your dad by taking a trip together. Include a tent, sleeping bag, flashlight and a lantern.
The Grill Master
For a dad who loves to cook and use a grill, you could start off with an upgrade to his grill. Either improve his old one or buy him the new one he has been wanting. New grilling tools include a grill brush, a spatula, tongs and a basting brush. Help his recipes along by giving him new spices, cedar planks for grilling and a marinade injector. Also spice up Dad's look by giving him a new apron and chef's hat.
The Technology Dad
For a dad who is technology savvy there are new choices available every day. A new laptop upgraded from his old one is a good choice. GPS for his car or truck can help him to never get lost. An iPhone is a way to stay with new cutting-edge technology. A digital camera lets him keep track of his life and the adventures in it. There is also the new television or stereo system to keep him up with the times.
The Everything Dad
For a dad who like anything and everything or has it all, there are still options to show your appreciation. A gift-of-the-month club is a great choice for a dad to try new things. Types of clubs include wine of the month, cheese of the month, tie of the month and dessert of the month. Car-wash gift certificates are another choice. Lottery tickets or scratch-offs are a simple choice. And for the dad who has everything, give him a weekend away where he can relax and enjoy life.
