Family 5: Our Favorite Father's Day Gifts
Thinking about getting dad another necktie this Father's Day? Here are five Father's Day gift ideas that can help make his day a little more memorable.
Baby Dad's Ride
Many full-service car wash stations will give a professional detailing for $150, including a wash, wax, window cleaning, dusting, and leather treatment. Some even detail the engine. This gets Dad's favorite toy looking top-notch without him doing any work.
Get Him a Massage
Make sure you use a certified massage therapist (CMT). A 30-minute massage is usually under $50, with a full hour for under $100. If his barber does gift certificates or appointments, you can couple this with a haircut, shave, and shampoo. A relaxed dad is a happy dad.
Send Him to Handyman School
Many home improvement stores offer how-to lessons for tiling, plumbing, woodworking, sprinkler installation, and so on. And the best part -- at the major stores, the lessons are usually free! You can even set up a father-and-son (or daughter) session.
Give Him a Furry Friend
Take a trip to the local animal shelter and find dad a dog or cat. You can usually take home an animal from the pound with its first shots for $100. You can get puppies or kittens from some local sellers for a bit more, though shots might not be included.
That's the Ticket
Is Dad a sports fan? Local minor league baseball leagues usually sell tickets for between $7 and $9 per game, and local arena football team's seating runs from $26 to $166. If Dad's not into sports, look for tickets to other local events, like a concert or play. Even tickets to the movies might be a nice treat.
Choosing a gift that will put a smile on dad's face isn't that tough. If you know his interests and use your imagination, you'll make his day special indeed.
