Other than the obligatory cheek kiss, why don't we celebrate our dad's special day with great Father's Day gift baskets that are sure to get him all excited and happy - I know you think he deserves it. Who else, beside your mom, have been there with you throughout every season in your life? He is always in the background of your life; but he never fails to come to your rescue when you need him.
Personally, I find that gift giving offers one great advantage - it allows you to make the recipient try something he wouldn't necessarily like doing. If you prepare beautifully done and sweetly given healthy gift baskets, your dad will have no choice but to partake of it. It sounds a little scheming, but having a healthy dad is worth whatever it takes. You can give him some of those delicious fresh fruit baskets to take the place of the greasy bacon and fries he usually consumes.
Ok, maybe fresh fruit gift baskets are pushing it. You can still do something about it. They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and dads are no different. Put together a care package of whole wheat bread, some pieces of fruit (not a whole basket anymore), tasty broiled chicken or fish, and a couple of his favorite beer brand. Then go out and have a nice picnic lunch, just the both of you. Now that's definitely something he would appreciate.
What is your dad's favorite pastime? Is it bowling? Dress up a bowling ball in sparkly wrapping paper for a good but not so surprising gift. Or how about this, get a large enough container put in a few miniature bowling pins and stick little bow ties on the necks of each one. Paste photos of whomever on them and have fun playing a small tournament in your home. Fill the container with other bowling paraphernalia - chocolates and candies are best.
Isn't it great that parents love us no matter what so our love for them is not measured by the amount of the gifts we give them right? It's no excuse not to give the best that we are currently able to give; but it does make DIY gift baskets extra special not just to them but to us as well.
An easy to do gift is putting together an album or two of his favorite songs you can download in the Internet. Google the pictures and get interesting trivia about the artists and print them out as your album's CD cover and present them to your dad in a cute little container. Not a music guy? DVDs then. Tie the cases of his most watched TV shows or movies with a pretty red ribbon and hand the goodie bag over with flair.
This is the one day in the year where dads are celebrated like the heroes that they are. He took time to wipe your every tear and provide for your every need - treat him like a king with a sweet disposition and lovingly made Father's Day gift baskets especially for him.
