About fifteen years ago on the standsSpecial cards appeared in supermarkets and on regular newspaper stands. They not only had a ready-made greeting, but also an addressee. True, it implied some generalization, for example, the inscription "To my beloved mother" on such a personalized message did not indicate a specific mother, but was suitable for congratulating any of them. But cards conditionally addressed to dad, among the entire mass of colored products of modern printing turned out to be negligible. Of course, because a gift to dad on his birthday is optional. Men can hardly be accused of being touchy, especially when it comes to their own children. And what special present can make a father's holiday a real event, if not a personal visit from a son or daughter for dinner? Agree, in such an attitude on the part of children, it seems there is nothing terrible, if not for one thing. Let's take a short excursion into your childhood. What comes to mind first? Of course, a joyful celebration of another birthday with the most delicious mother's cake and an obligatory surprise gift from dad, often not just one. Now let's look a little deeper and remember those wonderful days when we ourselves, with some inner trepidation, prepared congratulations for mom and dad. These touching homemade cards, knitted scarves and napkins embroidered by an inept hand are still carefully stored in the home archive. So why now, with the onset of adulthood, do we become so selfish that we downplay the importance of the next dates in the lives of our own parents? It would seem that right now we have an excellent opportunity to thank them for the wonderful moments of childhood, giving them a feeling of a little magic created by the hands of our beloved children. Let's try, shall we?

We focus on the mind and character

And it's worth starting with being more attentivetake a closer look at your dad, because this article will discuss how to congratulate him. In the endless series of hectic everyday life, we sometimes miss the main thing - the interests, habits and desires of our relatives. But the person to whom each of us owes our birth, with age requires special attention. Of course, you can consult with your mother or brother (sister) about what to give your dad for his birthday. Together it is always easier to decide what kind of holiday to arrange for the birthday boy, and collective congratulations are always nice. However, it is not so important whether you prefer a joint option or an individual one. Just try to make sure that dad's celebration becomes a real event in your family and gives the hero of the day the opportunity to feel loved and still a very important person in the lives of his already grown-up children. Think about it, what kind of mind and character is your father? What does he do? How does he usually spend his free time? If your dad was or is a techie, that is, works or worked as an engineer, a teacher of exact sciences, and so on, modern technologies will definitely not leave him indifferent. Therefore, feel free to choose the following things as a gift:

• smartphone
• the tablet
• portable TV
• computer accessories and so on

Your parents live outside the city or have a summer house,that has become a second home? You can choose a lawn mower or a super-modern barbecue with a bunch of "bells and whistles" for your dad. In any case, pay attention to a gift that your dad will have to master for some time - this will certainly appeal to a person with a technical mindset. Does your dad have a penchant for the humanities, like to read, visit exhibitions, theater premieres and museums? As a congratulation, you can give him:

• home planetarium
• books according to his preferences
• picture
• telescope
• tickets to the theater, ballet or opera
• hammock and so on

 

If the dad is a keen nature

You can say that you are lucky if your fatherhas a passion for collecting or he has a favorite thing to which he devotes every free minute. What dad would not appreciate the attention shown by you to this aspect of his life? Therefore, in advance, so to speak, conduct a small secret audit of what has recently brought special joy to your father. Tactfully ask him or your mother, but do not rush to immediately choose a gift in accordance with new hobbies, because your father can become disappointed in them as quickly as he finds others. Therefore, show more patience and tact, and do not buy any trinket in accordance with a hobby that has just appeared. Men are generally indifferent to any souvenirs and useless things. Therefore, it is better to opt for a useful item. If your dad has a long-standing hobby, interest in which never disappears, then you can confidently assume that the idea of ​​a gift for him is a done deal. A numismatist will really like a rare coin, a philatelist will be delighted by unusual stamps, and a photography enthusiast will not remain indifferent to a new modern camera. If your father loves fishing, give him a corresponding set with a backpack, fishing rods, and a folding chair. Does he never miss a hunting season? Update your father's wardrobe with a new camouflage suit. Let's say dad enjoys planing, sawing, and making all sorts of shelves, stools, or something else in the same spirit. You can look for a set of carpentry tools for him. Is your father's passion for arranging his summer cottage? He will be pleased with unusual lanterns, original garden furniture, or a subscription to a thematic magazine. A car enthusiast will like everything related to his car. Therefore, you can give him a set of new covers, an acoustic system, a GPS navigator, a radar detector, and a video recorder. Do you want to hit him in the heart (in the good sense of the word)? Then buy your father a coupon for the purchase of seasonal tires at a specialized retail outlet. Such a gift will bring the birthday boy into complete delight. By the way, if there is a car show planned in your city, an invitation to it can also be presented to your father as a birthday greeting.

Dad is vigorous, full of strength and not averse to experiencing the thrill?

In this case, please your father with a collectivepaintball trip. Let all members of your family take part in this impromptu battle, perhaps even including children. Active recreation in the fresh air, fun shooting and the joy of victory - all this will make dad's birthday truly unforgettable. After this main part of the holiday is over, you can have a picnic with shashlik in honor of the birthday boy, if the season allows. What kind of holiday is without a feast? An even more exciting gift, from an extreme point of view, is the opportunity to fly on a two-seater helicopter or airplane. But this is still suitable for fairly young and completely healthy dads who do not have problems with the cardiovascular system. Therefore, you should not rely only on your father's assurances of good health - it is not worth the risk in vain, because mom will definitely not thank you for it. But riding a buggy or an ATV is a much safer activity, if, of course, you are careful and do not drive recklessly. Having thought in advance about what kind of gift the birthday boy will like, you can organize a horse ride or even pay for horse riding lessons. Active dads will be delighted with the opportunity to master tennis or golf. And if your father has a passion for culinary art, arrange for him a master class in making sushi, Italian pizza or chocolates. Is your dear dad preparing to celebrate a serious anniversary? In this case, you can give him a trip to a good resort in warm countries or, conversely, to a place where he can go skiing, mastering picturesque mountain slopes. The father will certainly appreciate such care from the children, and who would refuse to change their way of life? If your finances allow, then you can send your parents on a tour of Europe so that they can see the main capitals of the Old World. This is a great way to expand the boundaries of their horizons. In general, try to come up with a congratulation that will leave a significant mark on the soul of the father and express the full strength of your love and respect.

Gift in the style of retro

As people reach retirement age,feel acute nostalgia for the youth that has sunk into oblivion. And there is nothing wrong with that, unless the quite appropriate regrets turn into real melancholy. Therefore, a birthday is a great excuse to take a short trip with your father to the places of his “military glory”. Tell your parent in advance that you would like to see the city through the eyes of his youth, visit his favorite places, hear stories about his youth and especially memorable events. In such a simple way, you will give your father the opportunity to briefly travel back several decades into the past and relive its wonderful moments. Therefore, on your dad’s birthday, right in the morning, go on a joint walk along a pre-planned route. Start with the place where he spent his childhood, studied, hitched a ride with girls, and so on. Perhaps, at first, your father will be a little confused, but gradually he will get carried away and will lead you in the right direction, accompanying the excursion with interesting comments. Such a walk promotes the unity of generations, mutual understanding and strengthening of the unbreakable bond between fathers and children. Ask the birthday boy to pay special attention to the place where he met his wife. The romantic feelings he experiences again will fill his eyes with the warm light of love, and you can confidently say that your mother is guaranteed flowers from her happy husband. Such a day should be completed at a festively set table, where only the closest family members will gather. Warm toasts addressed to the birthday boy, a home environment, familiar faces - what other gift does a mature person need to realize the integrity and correctness of his life path, in which there is an achieved goal and so many new horizons? Believe me, your father will never forget such a holiday and will be eternally grateful to you for it. Material gifts in retro style include: a video projector, with which you can arrange a viewing of family slides; a lamp with an antique lampshade, which once illuminated dad's nursery with its subdued light; grandma's samovar, the tea from which seemed the most delicious in the world; a wall clock with a cuckoo, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, with smooth knobs on chains; some tapestry with deer or swans, which decorated most apartments in Soviet times, and so on.

Papa, let's play?

No, we are not talking about children's games of hide and seek.or tag. Something else is meant. The burning question of what to give dad for his birthday can be answered in terms of entertaining presents or those that come from childhood. In other words, give dad a toy or a game. It could be a radio-controlled model airplane, a railroad, a ship, or a set of vintage small cars. Think about it, what kind of kindergarten is this? Is this a worthy gift? Oh, and what! After all, it often happens that age is reflected in a person only externally, but in his soul, a gray-haired man still remains a perky, cheerful guy, who is only prevented from chasing pigeons across the roofs with passion by his status and tired legs. Therefore, give dad his childhood dream of a new toy, especially if he already has grandchildren, with whom you can always enthusiastically revert to childhood, without looking funny and ridiculous. An active pensioner will be happy to receive a bicycle, scooter, football and skis. A self-taught musician will be happy to play you the melodies of his youth on a new guitar. A father who prefers more passive recreation will be happy to while away the evening sitting in a comfortable wicker rocking chair. And if you decide to give him chess, checkers, backgammon or dominoes, you will probably hear more than once an offer to organize a family tournament with a prize for the winner. A gambling father can be given a set for playing a home casino, however, even the once beloved Monopoly will also be a good way to spend a Sunday evening together. In any case, if your family is preparing to celebrate an important holiday in the life of its head in the near future, then do not rush to type in such a popular question in search engines: "What to give dad for his birthday?"

After all, we are talking about a person close to you, whom you have known since childhood. Therefore, do not be lazy and think in advance about what kind of gift will bring him especially pleasant emotions and tell about your feelings without unnecessary words. We advise you to read:
