Father's Day Gifts Dad Will Actually LOVE
What does Dad actually WANT for Father's Day?
It can be a difficult task to crawl into a man's brain- somehow it's hard to get it right.
After much deliberation, I realized that the answer was simple- Dad just wants to feel honored and valued for his unique role. He doesn't need every gadget and trinket, he just wants to feel appreciated. So which gifts fit those criteria?
Here are some great ideas that Dad is sure to love. Find your Dad type below, and follow the instructions-bingo!
Dad Type 1 - The Masterful Griller
If your Dad prides himself on his 'manly' grilling prowess, there is no better way than to acknowledge those skills and give him his due credit. Why not purchase some grilling supplies that he's been wanting to get for a while now? But if he's the type to get annoyed that you chose his supplies without asking his opinion, a safer option would be to get a complimentary gift that appreciates his barbecuing skills without directly getting in his way. A good idea can be pretty serving dishes, condiment holders, great steak knives, or even lanterns to light up the patio at night. Be sure to write a great accompanying card that explains why you chose your gift.
Dad Type 2 - Spirit and Whiskey Expert
If your dad is the self-proclaimed wine and spirit expert in the family, you might want to recognize those talents with a fitting gift. Depending on his expertise, you can purchase a decanter, wine aerator, shot glasses, or even beautiful and unique champagne glasses. Leave the mixing up to him, and show him your love with the perfect complimentary accents to make that drink ultimate perfection.
Dad Type 3 - Knows His Way Around the Kitchen
Now, if Dad really knows his stuff in the kitchen and even loves to host guest, you just won the jackpot in gifting. The sky is pretty much the limit when choosing an appropriate gift for him. Cooking utensils, pots and pans are all great choices. But if you want to leave those personal choices up to him, you can safely purchase some beautiful dinnerware or serving dishes that he will enjoy to plate and host with.
