[F122]Father Day Gift Idea

by Kevin Buyer, Kev

Poor old Dad. Did you know that more collect calls are made on Father' Day than any other day of the year? Alright Mom's before you laugh too hard, Mother's Day is right behind at number 2. So maybe you've decided you're going to make up for all those bad neckties you gave dad when you were younger, and let's not forget the time you left the garage door open and it rained on all of his tools.

Like most holiday's Father's Day gift giving ideas have gotten much more sophisticated in recent years, here are a couple of ideas to get you in the right frame of mind. Is your Dad a big golf fan, if he is, how about some personalized golf balls or club covers. That's something he can show off to all his buddies at the course. If your Dad's not the athletic type but more of grill master there are some other great gift ideas you may want to think about. Why not find some gourmet bar-b-que sauces flavors from Europe, the Mediterranean, and Asia are starting to become very popular nowadays. If your Dad is more of a traditionalist how about a smoker box for his grill. Find some exotic flavors like apple or peach wood to make thing interesting. If money's no object look into one of the bar-b-que camps that are popping up across the country. Think of it as a spa-vacation where dad gets cooking tips from a famous or celebrity chef.

Let's say you're really ready to kick things up and money's no object, then why not consider race car school. They come in one or two day packages with professional race car drivers. Then Dad gets to take an actual stock car for a few laps around around the famous racetracks you see on TV. Some schools are now offering exotic cars like Lamborghini's and Ferrari's as well. But what if your Dad really has the need for speed, then you air combat. Retired military aircraft pilots take you up jets and through a series of white knuckle maneuvers and acrobatics, and throw in some simulated air to air combat. This one is sure to put a smile on Dad's face.

When it comes to showing appreciation towards parents, fathers tend to get the shaft. Everyone loves the mothers, but it's the fathers that get overlooked on this special day of appreciation. Instead of going with the classic coffee mug or tie, dig deeper and give your father something he'll never forget on Father's Day. Here are 5 Father's Day give ideas.

1. Tickets to a sporting event

What dad doesn't enjoy sports, and there is no better way to enjoy the game then seeing it first-hand. It doesn't matter if its basketball, baseball, golf or Nascar, just get him tickets to an event that he'll enjoy. If you pitch with a sibling, maybe get a couple tickets so he can enjoy the game with a buddy of his.

2. Grooming kit

Technology continues to bring more developed items to choose from. Although your father probably already has a razor and shaving cream, get him an entire grooming kit for Father's Day. There are a number of kits on the market to choose from, and each kit differs in what it offers. Some things you may find include facial cleanser, pre-shave oil, shaving cream, after shave balm and a razor.

3. Barbecue tool set

There is something about barbecuing that brings a sense of relaxation and enjoyment for many fathers. What better way to continue this satisfaction than by giving him this Father's Day gift idea. As with the grooming kit, there are a plethora of sets to choose from with a wide price range to select from. A traditional set will include tongs, spatula, marinating brush, grill cleaning brush and much more.

4. Business attire

If your father is a businessman, he can never have too many nice clothes for work. It may be a little out of your price range to get him a suit for Father's Day because of the high price range. But you can still get him a new pair of dress shoes, some dress socks or a couple of nice collared shirts.

5. Outdoor activities

If your father enjoys the outdoors, giving him some outdoor activity is the best Father's Day gift idea there is. Give him a new fishing pole or a new mountain bike to ride through the mountains on. Giving him something he will use and enjoy is much better than giving him yet another coffee mug to stick in the counter.

Father's Day is the one day that you can truly show your father how much he means to you. There are hundreds of Father's Day gift ideas to choose from, but no one knows him as good as you. Take the time to find a gift that truly matters and show your father how much he means to you.
