We are ready to run around all the stores in the city, because a gift for dad must be really worthwhile! And what is the result? And in the end - we still can’t find anything suitable…. And here I would like to give one piece of advice: if you are unsure what to give your dad, study his interests and hobbies well. In this article we will describe various ideas for congratulations, and all you have to do is choose one of them and present an original gift to your dad.
Defender of the Fatherland Day
No matter how strong and serious a man isyour dad, he has his weaknesses. Some people like reading, some like fishing and hunting, and some, oddly enough, prefer cooking to all of this. It is best to rely on these hobbies, especially if we are talking about a not very important event, for example, Defender of the Fatherland Day. What gift to choose for February 23? Many women on this day present their loved ones with shaving accessories or eau de toilette. However, you should not follow in their footsteps. After all, this is not original! Try to break out of the banality and come up with something more interesting, based on your father's hobbies and passions. The best gift for a literature lover is, of course, a book. Here the ideas can be very different, fortunately, the modern market offers a lot of printed publications of various nature, quality and price category. The only thing left for you is to choose an edition that will be interesting to your father. If he likes classics, buy a special gift edition. If his hobbies include fishing, hunting or gardening, buy a colorful glossy book or make a selection of relevant magazines for a certain period. Looking for ideas for an exclusive gift? Order a book in an elite binding from a printing house. If you want to bring your own creative side to the publication, you can participate in the development of the cover design. Such a gift will be doubly pleasant for your father. Many men are fond of hunting and fishing, and after retirement, this hobby can develop into a real passion. Ideas for such gifts are so diverse that you will easily find exactly what your father needs. Any accessory that symbolizes his hobby will be a great present. For example, hunting enthusiasts will like knives with a handle made of deer antlers. Men, as a rule, are also delighted by rugs made of bear or wolf skin. Such a trophy can push them to new records and achievements. Another weakness of many men is cars. As a rule, representatives of the stronger sex of almost all ages can spend whole days in the garage, repairing their favorite car. If your dad is one of them, feel free to buy him a car accessory as a gift. Of course, first carefully find out what car accessories he already has. For example, you can give him car seat covers with heating and massage function.
Birthday
A birthday present for dad should not beas expensive as it is memorable. If your father is a respectable person, occupying an important place in society, choose an accessory that will emphasize his status. For example, a tie holder or cufflinks. At first glance, it may seem that these are rather banal gifts, but many men appreciate such accessories. You can also present high-quality smoking accessories, because they belong to the class of elite gifts. If your parent has not yet been able to give up bad habits, an ashtray or a lighter made of precious metals, real Cuban cigars will be able to win his heart. Your father's status will also be emphasized by a branded watch with engraving. The main thing is to decide on his favorite brand and wrist size, and the engraving will be done for you in any specialized center. Moreover, its application does not take much time. But girls whose fathers are close to the latest technology are incredibly lucky. They can give their father any modern gadget: the latest model of a mobile phone, a fashionable tablet, an exclusive flash drive. Even an elderly man will definitely appreciate such gifts. After all, he wants to feel younger and be up to date with all the latest technologies. If your parent has a dream that he has not been able to realize, help him make it happen. It could be a trip, a gym or pool membership, a dinner at a restaurant where he can try some exotic dish. Everything depends on your imagination and financial capabilities. Are you still wondering what to give dad? And nothing significant has come to your mind? Try consulting with your mom on this issue. Your parents have spent many years together and have studied each other's habits and interests very well. Mom will always be able to suggest an idea for a gift or delicately find out from your dad what kind of gift he would like to receive for his birthday.
Gifts for New Year's Eve
New Year and Christmas are family holidays,therefore, gifts should be appropriate, reminding of home coziness and comfort. If you do not know what to give dad for the New Year holidays, feel free to go to a clothing or home textile store. Take a closer look at warm flannel pajamas or terry dressing gowns. A warm sweater made of natural wool would be an excellent option. The main thing here is not to miscalculate the size. If your father cannot resist a glass of beer while watching a football match, give him a beer glass. They can be bought in almost every crockery or souvenir department. You can also opt for an original mug decorated with a family photo. A good gift for dad is a set of beautiful handkerchiefs with his initials. You can entrust the embroidery to a professional, or you can do it yourself. Some men become interested in cooking after retirement. Sound familiar? Well, this is a great reason to choose a gift for dad in the appropriate store. For example, a set of kitchen knives or a special cookbook for men. Believe me, your father will be grateful for such a present and will definitely treat you to a dish of his own making. The main thing to remember when choosing a gift is not to look at the price.
