A Framed Photo of Dad with His Kids is Perfect!

Fathers are the unsung heroes of parenthood. Celebrate the special dads in your life by choosing simple, thoughtful gifts they will appreciate and remember for years to come!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • internet access
  • a bit of spending money!
  • but mostly thoughtfulness and creativity
  1. Step 1

    Photos are forever. In this age of digital cameras, photos often end up stuck inside a computer instead of proudly displayed for all to see. If you have a recent photo of Dad and his kids, consider making it into a mug, t-shirt, tie, mousepad, or simply a framed print, so Dad can enjoy the photo for years to come. If you have a number of photos of Dad with his kids, consider making a framed collage and have the kids sign their names and the year on the frame.

  2. Step 2

    Pamper Dad. Spas aren't just for mothers anymore- Dad would love a chance to relax with a soothing massage, back facial or pedicure for him! Check online for services and pricing at a spa near you.

  3. Step 3

    Gadgetry. Dads love gadgets. Whether it's an electric bug zapper, a fish finder for the boat, a golf cart radio, meat thermometer for the grill, ipod docking station or other electronic gadget, chances are Dad will be thankful and appreciative!

  4. Step 4

    The Really Unusual. Who knew you could get dad a pro driving lesson with a professional race car driver? Or a Cigar Tasting Experience, a Personalized Grill Apron or One Share of Stock in his favorite sporting goods company? Gifts.com has many fun and creative presents that will definitely bring a smile to dad’s face on his day of honor.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be creative. Something as simple as a framed child's hand print is meaningful and will last forever.
