What to Give Dad for Father’s Day

631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716



It is true that the best gifts are the ones that are sincere and unexpensive, most of the best things in life are so simple but so important for the well being such as air, sun and time... and most importantly they are FREE. 

Since we are talking about a celebration as Father's Day we always want to go beyond to show that person we love them and we thought of them but then again what to give to a man who has everything he wants? With mother's is more simple like flowers or cards but with fathers it can be tricky sometimes.

For Fathers Day We can also keep it simple, it doesn't always need to be a hassle, many times we don't realize that men are simpler than women. Always go for what they like but then again if you have given something they like in yrs prior how many times can you repeat this over and over right? so here are some inexpensive and thoughtful ideas for father's day.

Make a Coupon Book. Maybe there are many things he would like to do with his time but since hes taking care of other things he really doesnt find time to.
Think about giving him maybe 10-15 coupons offering your services or activities maybe he does need a partner in crime. They can include maybe washing the car, going to the movies w him, going to eat steak, or even giving him 1-2 hrs free while you are doing something for him so he can watch some T.V. This is easy and you get to realize and get to know your father better, the list of things can be wide.

Homemade Treats: Tasty home-baked goods make fool-proof gifts. Whip up a cobbler or pie with luscious local summer fruit. If your dad is trying to eat more healthfully, encourage him by preparing a recipe that incorporates whole grains and goes easy on the sugar. For a more long-lasting gift, prepare some pickles or a homemade jam .

Old Photos Can Be Fun (and Embarrassing). Surely in a closet somewhere are some old photos of the family at play. Find the box (or boxes) and bring them out on Father's Day. Pass them around and ask Dad what he remembers about the experience in the photo. This is guaranteed to generate both laughs and tears. And it will help you connect with the "old man." And remember, no snickers about his hair, his clothes, or those funky sideburns!

Beyond the Gym: Many dad-types I know are constantly trying to stay in shape or shape up. Why not turn introduce your dad to a new form of exercise? Trying a new form of physical activity can be deeply rewarding, even if it doesn't 'stick' or become your dad's go-to work-out. It's kind of like eating cereal with your non-dominant hand -- a great way to engage your brain. You could set your dad up with a private lesson at a his local yoga studio or a pack of beginner's classes or even an instructional dvd. He might be particularly tickled if the sport in question sounds somewhat obscure -- like gyrotonic or tai chi. If those sounds a bit posh for your dad's taste maybe give him a badminton or petanque set instead.

Long Distance. If you aren't at home or near enough to make a personal visit on Father's Day, consider some ways to narrow the distance. Instead of a card, how about a letter sharing your feelings and memories about your dad? Could you make a picture collage of some of your favorite dad times? How about a long and chatty phone call? You can still give of yourself, even if the miles and the time zones might separate you.

Sunday, June 16

Father's Is one of the most important modern celebrations of the month of June and even when its not as commercialized and popular as Mother's Day its also a reason to celebrate those 2 wonderful people who brought you to live.

Father's Day is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. Many countries celebrate it on the third Sunday of June, but it is also celebrated widely on other days. Father's Day was created to complement Mother's Day, a celebration that honors mothers and motherhood.

Father's Day was founded in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd, who was born in Arkansas. Its first celebration was on June 19, 1910.

Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June. In recent years, stores have adapted to the holiday by promoting greeting cards and traditionally male-oriented gifts such as electronics and tools. Schools and other children's programs commonly have activities to make Father's Day gifts.

Father's Day is accompanied by a smaller total number of phone calls, greeting cards and gifts than Mother's Day. It is speculated that this is due to the greater number of households with a mother than households with a father (due to single mothers), to the greater role of mothers in housework, and to historical advantage - Mother's Day began in 1870 and became official in 1914 while Father's Day only became official in 1972.

Either or, if you are lucky enough to have your father around go and celebrate it with him, as always it doesn't need to be something big ..but its nice to make someone realize how much you appreciate them in your life.

Is Your Dad A Handyman? Here Are Some Father's Day Gift Ideas!

631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716

Is your dad a handyman? Is he the type you can always find puttering around the garage and constantly looking for a project to do? If you’re looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift for your handyman dad here are some great creative ideas he will definitely love!

Griffin Survivor Case: If your dad likes to crank up the tunes on his iPhone while he works in the garage, the Griffin Survivor case ($50) will ensure his expensive smartphone stays safe. Griffin’s cases are designed to meet U.S. and U.K. military standards for toughness. Once locked down in one of these cases, the phone or tablet is drop-proof up to 6 feet, and resistant to water and dust. So whether your dad is refinishing furniture, hosing down the car or just a little bit clumsy, the Survivor case will ensure that he doesn’t have to stop the music to get the job done.

Craftsman Bottle Opener: Sears’ Craftsman tools are well known for their rock solid construction and unlimited lifetime warranty. Now that company offers a bottle opener ($7) with the same distinctive handle that you’ll find on Craftsman screwdrivers. It’s the perfect fit for your dad’s tool box. After all, your dad deserves to kick back and crack open a cold one after a long day of fixing things.

Ryobi One+: Ryobi’s line of One+ tools allows you to purchase a single lithium-ion battery to power a whole family of power tools, including a drill, hedge trimmer, reciprocating saw and dozens more. Battery-powered tools have really improved in recent years, offering far more power and a longer life than ever before. However, carrying around a separate battery for each task and tool is cumbersome. Ryobi solves that by making a single, interchangeable battery that works in every tool, making your toolbox a lot lighter and less crowded. It’s the perfect gift for the handyman dad that likes to fix things on the go.

Will you be purchasing any of these suggested gifts? Do you have any other ideas? Let us know on our Facebook page linked HERE!
