Father’s Day
June 14th, 2010
Father’s Day is just 6 days away! Man it’s hard to believe that we are almost half way through 2010. I remember thinking in January and February when is the warm weather going to get here. In NC, it’s here and now it’s so hot you can barely stand it.
Ok, so now that Father’s day is just around the corner are you still struggling with what to get dad? Personally, I think it’s harder to buy for men. Why? I don’t know, I guess because men like expensive toys like new power tools or cars, motorcycles, golf clubs etc and frankly they can be rather picky about the selection as well. Wait, we’re supposed to be honoring our fathers and husbands for being great fathers, sounds like I’m on a turn to bash. I’m turning back now, LOL! So we’ve established that men are typically hard to buy for so what do you get dad and husband for Fathers day?
When you have younger children it’s a little easier because anything from them is rather cute and dad usually loves the gift from “Joe and Sue” even if it is a crazy lookin’ tie or funky lookin’ homemade frame with a goofy picture in it. Kids especially love making homemade gifts because they get to use all the fun art and craft materials that us moms usually hide from them. So here are some ideas I found at www.familyfun.go.com:
Other ideas that are not craft items are:
- Golf tees, golf balls, new golf glove, Golf GC for 18 holes
- Coupon to wash dads car inside and out
- Fix favorite meal
- DVD movie
- Car magazine and chocolate bar (my dad’s favorite)
- Magazine subscription for 1 year (purchase online then buy the latest issue at the store and get a card with a message that lets him know his next issue will arrive in the mail at his house)
- Gifts Certificates to favorite store even if it’s hardware store (that’s always a winner for the hard to buy for but add a card and a little chocolate for the chocolate lover!)
This year my Father-in-law will be getting some “Happy Father’s Day” golf tees and golf balls in personalized packaging as well as a Gift certificate for a round of golf. My husband is taking him golfing this weekend! My daddy is one of those harder to buy for, he doesn’t golf so I’m still stuck. Hmm, although I do have an idea. He loves popcorn and my parents have a hard time finding the popcorn they like in their area. Where I’m at I can now buy a box of 32 bags so that may be what he gets this year!! Whew, I’m glad I just thought of that. I better make a list and get on the ball and get that shipped out.
Here is a picture of the golf tees and golf ball:
