What are traditional gifts for Father's Day?
If Father's Day has never been a major celebration in your family, but you'd like to make it one, then there are lots of ways to celebrate your dad on his special day. And thankfully, they don't all have to cost the Earth. While Father's Day gifts and celebration ideas can be as inventive and outlandish as you desire, sometimes the classic ideas are truly the best.
If your dad is a prolific online shopper, gift vouchers valid at his favourite online outlets could be an ideal gift - as he can then put these towards his next purchase of a DVD, book or any other items. Alternatively, you could buy these as a surprise gift if you feel confident enough that you know your father's tastes. Although you can often find better deals online, heading to the high street could be a more convenient option if you're planning on browsing first, or if the date is fast approaching and you still don't have a gift.
Whilst Father's Day is an altogether different beast from Mother's Day, the gifts that you buy on each day don't have to be mutually exclusive. Whilst buying flowers for your dad may be out of the question, gifts such as chocolate work just as well for both sexes. Similarly, dads can be just as fond of getting new clothes as mums - especially practical items such as ties, socks and shirts.
Chocolate isn't the only food and drink option that can be a big hit on Father's Day either, and if your dad is fond of a certain type of whisky, wine or other alcoholic drink, a gift pack of whisky or a bottle of wine could be well appreciated. You could even combine a bottle with other favourite items of food and drink in a Father's Day hamper.
If you're feeling a little more creative, you could also personalise your Fathers Day gifts for added effect. A personalised mug can say a lot more than 'World's Greatest Dad,' and you can even produce personalised T-shirts, hats and other items of clothing at relatively low cost.
Finally, you don't have to celebrate Father's Day exclusively through the medium of presents, and simply taking time out of your schedule and spending some quality time with your dad could be highly appreciated. Whether it's taking a day trip, weekend city break or just going to see a film at the cinema, you can make your father feel respected and loved on his special day.
