If you still aren’t sure what to give Dad this Father’s Day, why don’t you stop for a while and do a reflection. Instead of rushing out the door to buy your Dad a pair of socks or that classy necktie from the department store, imagine first what is it that would really make Dad happy. Who knows Dad might appreciate more a certain gift you never really thought of.
Do you know your Dad? Well, I’m not really asking what’s his name is but who he is to you. In your growing up years, what image or role did he portrayed in your life? What was his contribution in the kind of person that you are today?
The ultimate Father’s Day gift for Dad must be something that manifests how grateful you are that he is your father. It must be something heartfelt and not just an empty token or gesture.
Is Daddy into savvy gadgets? Does he love music? Does he like reading? Is he an avid fan of Do-It-Yourself stuff? Is he into sports? Does he spend a lot of time in the gym? Is he in the habit of drinking a glass or red wine every night?
Never choose a gift that will emphasize your Dad’s weakness. If you think he is unhealthy or overweight, don’t give him a gym membership card. While it is true that you mean well, this kind of gift might give him the feeling of imperfection. What you want to show is your acceptance and appreciation of him. I am not saying that you give him something that will cultivate his bad habits. A self-help gift can be given any day of the year. What you want to do now is to bring out the best in your Dad.
The best Father’s Day gift is the one that symbolizes your relationship with him. When he opens this gift, you will see a sparkling shine in his eyes.
It doesn’t have to be pricey or sentimental. It can actually be something humorous. The bottom line here is you want something for Dad that will truly make him happy.
If in case you still can’t think of the proper gift to give him, watch out for our next write-up and we’ll give you a handful of suggestions.
