Father's Day Gift Tips

Father's Day is on Sunday, June 21st this year.
I've been trying to think about some different gifts -- not that ordinary tie or gadget. Not that there's anything wrong with a tie or a gadget!

How about a round of golf with Dad? Whether it's on the 21st or another day -- a handmade gift certificate noting the selected time and date would be a great addition to a Father's Day card.

My daughter once scheduled a special Father/daughter-only lunch & movie with her Dad. Yes, I supplied the funds (she was 13 at the time), but it was a special moment for the two of them.

Is Dad a Mr. Fix-It dying to break free? Check out his tool selection and see what's missing. Surprise him with that special tool he's been coveting. And as mentioned in a previous post -- you'll probably find some good pricing on tools this month.

For the Dad striving to up his eco cred, how about an aluminum water bottle? No more plastic bottles. Money saved -- along with the environment.

Is your Dad the house's Grill Meister? There are some great tools to check out, from fork-thermometers, to great aprons, lights and grilling tools.

Does your Dad love a clean car? You can go the homemade route and offer up some handmade car wash gift certificates for driveway baths, or go a step further and pick up a car wash/detailing gift book from your Dad's favorite local car wash.

And, best of all, if you find some great deals on ideas like these -- all the better. Be sure to look for them! And if Dad loves a good tie, by all means get the man a gorgeous new tie!
