When thinking up a gift for your father’s big day, you might want to get a bit personal. Whatever it is you are thinking or looking for, personal or simple, we got you covered.

 

How to start:

Before choosing a gift for your father, it is okay to do some investigating. Here are some questions you need answers to.

 

●     What are his essential needs?

A list of a few essentials that he uses often would assist you in making a matchless gift choice. It could be simple items like his toiletries.

 

●     What are his hobbies? colour preferences, dress codes, flares, and addictions, etc.?

Men are big babies when it comes to hobbies, flares, or addictions. They get very excited and appreciative. They also love to dress well, so understanding their dress sense would be nice.

●     What’s your budget?

How much are you willing to spend on a gift? You don’t have to break the bank except if you want to. With a considerable amount, you can put a smile on your father’s face.

 

Some Useful Ideas

Once you have answers to these questions you are halfway there. To help your thought process, we have come up with a few suggestions for the perfect birthday gift. Each gift perfectly serves the purpose for different kinds of men.

1.   A wallet

A wallet is for keeping essential items like your complimentary, debit, credit cards, and cash. Some fathers usually have many complimentary or business cards because of the number of friends and contacts. So, you might need to get a trifold wallet that caters to more items. Wallets seem simple, but they are crucial to the dress code. They are also affordable and thoughtful gifts.

 

2.   A Classy TimePiece

Few items make up a man’s complete outfit, a leather belt, matching shoes, and the perfect timepiece. Wristwatches add a touch of elegance to any outfit. More so, timepieces do a whole lot more than tell the time these days. Wristwatches can be programmed to count your number of steps, check the number of calories burned, give directions, take calls, etc. A classy timepiece is a gift always appreciated.

3.      A Grilling machine

Some dads have had their grilling machines since you were kids. The thought of buying a new one must have evaded his thoughts a couple of times. Grill machines are a part of many family histories and are now a family tradition in many homes. For a dad who loves to have friends over during summer, the games, and get-togethers, a grill might work the magic. It is also perfect if he loves to cook.

4.      A Shaving Kit

A shaving kit is a pleasant gift for any dad. This gift would have him thinking of you every morning as he shaves. Men have a soft spot for those who worry about their looks. It shows you care and think of them more often than expected. Many shaving kits come with some essential additions like after-shave sprays, lotion, brush, and disinfectant. You can get one of these without breaking the bank.

5.      Running Shoes

Exercise and keeping fit should be encouraged in old age. For those days when dad feels like hitting the gym or taking a long walk, running shoes would come in handy. Make a pick from his favorite designer and get him a running shoe. You could also get him a sneaker if that’s what he is into. Don’t forget to get them in his favorite color.

6.      Whiskey Glasses

In addition to getting him the glasses, you can also add a bottle of whiskey to the gift pack. When it comes to drinking, nothing feels classier for a man than having the right set of glasses to enjoy his drink. Just like a child with a new toy, men glow when they entertain guests with their perfect set of whiskey glasses. If your dad loves to enjoy his whiskey, this would be a brilliant gift.

7.      Personalized golf balls

Is your dad a sports fan? Does he love golf? These personalized golf balls would be a huge surprise. Most men take their sport pretty seriously. So, getting him golf balls with his name crystalized boldly on the balls would put a smile on his face.

 

 

Depending on your budget, you could choose a list of items to create a hamper. The hamper can contain a little of everything like pairs of socks, boxers, innerwear, t-shirts, face towels, etc. You could also add some snacks and drinks to the package. Fathers usually don’t feel appreciated enough, but you got the opportunity to make yours feel special. Get to it.
