Happy Fathers Day With A Thoughtful Gift
By Jane Kliperrs
Fathers Day gift ideas are often hard to come up with. Once you
get past the usual tie and sweater, or the always awesome Aqua
Velva gift set, the road to the perfect present becomes harder
to navigate.
Throw in a small budget and you’ve got a prescription for
a plastic, singing fish mounted to a plaque with your dad’s
name on it. If you want to salute the man who raised you without
having to resort to boring presents or novelty gifts from the
dollar store, then keep reading. We’ll show you how to review
your options and have a frugal but Happy Fathers Day.
A Theme With A Personal Touch
The key to a Happy Fathers Day is the personal touch. Think about
activities or hobbies that your dad enjoys, and run with that
theme. For instance, most dads can get into a great action adventure
movie. Hit the discount racks at Wal-Mart and video stores for
marked down classics and bargain buys.
Buy and sell stores often get brand new, unopened movies as well.
You can get some great deals this way. Pack the movie with a bag
of popcorn or potato chips, and a bottle of pop into a pretty
gift bag from a dollar store and your dad will be set for a great
Father’s Day movie night.
Food Gift Ideas For The Man
Everyone knows that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,
so use your dad’s favorite goodies to make gifts for Fathers Day.
If your dad is a pizza lover, buy the fixings for a few homemade
pizzas, assemble them, and then pop them in the freezer so dad
can have one whenever he likes.
Fathers Day gift baskets are always a great idea, so get a large
basket from the dollar store and pack it with the ingredients
for his favorite meal. For example, put in a bottle of tomato
sauce, pasta, grated cheese, and some wonderful fresh bread. Top
it off with some homemade cookies in an attractive keepsake tin.
A Summer Survival Kit For The Outdoors Man
Hobbies are a gold mine for great gift ideas. If your dad loves
the outdoors, build him a summer survival kit. Pick up an inexpensive
knapsack or duffle bag and fill it with items such as sunscreen,
insect repellant, a nifty hat or a pair of shades from the dollar
store, a first aid kit, and a refillable water bottle.
He’ll love this thoughtful Fathers Day present! If your dad loves
spending long days fishing, get some new gear for his tackle box.
Hooks, lures, weights and bobbers are all inexpensive and every
angler needs them. For the dad who loves golfing, you can get
a great Fathers Day golf present online for under twenty-five
dollars.
Ordering Gifts Online
A monogram kit will give dad a classy way to mark his golf balls,
and you can order a kit at www.overstock.com
for less than twenty bucks. A chipper net will allow your dad
to practice his short game wherever he is. You can order one from
Bass Pro Shops for about $15. Just make sure to order your gift
in plenty of time for it to arrive in time for Father’s Day.
Times are tough, so don’t feel that you have to spend a lot on
a Fathers Day present. Go online and you’ll find a huge selection
of free electronic Fathers Day cards. Instead of taking your dad
out for brunch, make him a beautiful meal at home.
Don’t put yourself in an awkward financial position with a splashy,
expensive present. Your father loves you and doesn’t want you
to do that. As any dad will tell you, the best gift for a Happy
Fathers Day is spending time together as a family.

Did You Know?
Your father is a special man and you know that he deserves something
unique and special this Fathers Day. You do not want to give him
something that he already has or has received in the past. It
is time to think of something new that he might enjoy.
If your dad is a beer lover then you may want to give him a beer
brewing kit. If he loves his yard and garden, you may want to
give him a tree. Just make sure and give him a card that truly
expresses how grateful you are to him and how much he really means
to you.
