It's that time of the year again: time to plan for Fathers Day.
Besides planning a lovely breakfast out with the family, or pancakes at home, the very best thing you can do is to start early to figure out what kind of gift he would like to get.
It's always best to make your own gift, but this is not always possible, given the time you have available on hand.
Therefore, I always recommend that you start with ordering an online gift.
That way you are covered.
If you want to also make his something, that's a good idea too.
But at least, there's no extreme pressure to finish it before Fathers Day arrives.
Here are my top gift ideas.
What makes a gift a 'top gift' is not the same for every kind of dad, so let me detail things for you by type of dad.
If your father is a business executive, he might like gifts like a shirt folder to keep his cloths tidy in his suitcase as he hops on a plane.
They are rather inexpensive but very handy.
I know some men who use these folders even at home.
If your dad instead get a kick out of cool things, think of giving him a temperature-controlled wine cooler instead of the more obvious barman cocktail shaker set.
Or, you might like to give him a groovy lamp shade made of recycled materials.
If your dad plays golf, it's really easy.
I suggest you get him a golf trunk organizer keeps his gear neat and easily accessible in the back of the car and the golf club locker.
As well, a voucher for a round of golf on his favorite golf course is always a winning gift too! For dads who love nature, think of a new pair of hiking boots or an electronic device that repulses mosquitoes.
This device makes a high pitch tone that we can't hear but the biting buggers can.
Both gifts are ideal for camping-lovers and golfers also.
You can typically find these at a sports or camping store.
Rather than giving the dad with a yard a set of garden tools, give him a hammock! Chances are that he already has all the tools he needs, but he may prefer to look for hours at the fruits of his labor, with a beer in his hand, from his hammock.
And when your father is not at home, you get to use the hammock yourself.
And believe me: hammocks are comfortable.
Does your dad work with computers all day long? Give him a book rather than an iPhone.
He will want to buy the iPhone according to his own specs.
However, a regular book is just what he could use when lounging in that hammock I mentioned before.
I hope that these suggestions trigger some fresh ideas in your mind as to what to give to your father, or your husband.
