You can give your dad a kiss on the cheek any day; how about spectacular Father's Day gift baskets packed full with his favorite things this year? Besides your mom, he is the one person who has seen you in the good, the bad and the ugly - and loving you through it all. If anyone deserves some attention and TLC, it's the big man of the house and you know it.
Personally, I find that gift giving offers one great advantage - it allows you to make the recipient try something he wouldn't necessarily like doing. If you prepare beautifully done and sweetly given healthy gift baskets, your dad will have no choice but to partake of it. It sounds a little scheming, but having a healthy dad is worth whatever it takes. You can give him some of those delicious fresh fruit baskets to take the place of the greasy bacon and fries he usually consumes.
Alright, fresh fruit gift baskets might be a little too much for your dad - if tears show up; they should be tears of happiness not of annoyance. Still, all is not lost. Give him a healthy care basket with relatively healthy, tastier food. Pack a wicker basket with a loaf of whole wheat bread, some sausages, grapes and a bottle or two of beer. Take him out to a picnic lunch date and have a blast reminiscing about his old days, childhood memories and memorable milestones in your family's life.
What hobby does your dad take pleasure in the most? Work around this particular theme in your gift basket. Perhaps its golf. Trim a big basket with synthetic grass garlands and put in golf paraphernalia like pens, magazines, wall paper, etc. The more creative the better. If your budget will allow it, but an umbrella and have it printed out with his name and some silly message. When he uses it as he makes his rounds across the course, he will remember you.
Here's a well known secret that bears repeating - the cost of the gift really doesn't matter to most parents. That almost gives you a free pass on what to give our dads right? Nope - we still need to give our best, however form it takes on. If the best means DIY gift baskets for the time being then that's great - it spells love and sincere effort to him and that is what matters.
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.
Now here's a day you can have an excuse to treat your dad like the superman that he is. He guides and he provides; he leads and he feeds - it's time for him to be treated royally. Give him lovingly made Father's Day gift baskets and make his year a great one.
