Trying to decide what to give to dad on his special day? We conducted a little poll asking Father’s what they want most. You’ll never guess what was at the top of all their lists!
The #1 Gift: Quality Time
Dads unanimously said they wanted to to spend time with their kids. Their choices for activities included:
- going fishing
- bowling
- seeing a movie
- hitting up the batting cages
- going to the golf course
Bottom line: it’s all about doing something together. If you live near your father, consider scheduling some quality time!
For Fathers at a Distance
If it’s not possible to get some one on one time right now, here are a few other ideas that will keep your dad active:
- Wireless headphones/earbuds. Pair that with a customized workout playlist, so he has some upbeat tunes to listen to during his run or strength session.
- Audible credits. This is perfect for listening on the go. Take it to the next level by loading up his device with a book on his wishlist.
- A smart watch. Not only will dad be able to receive texts from you on the go, but he can also track his steps, heartrate, and calories burned.
- Grilling tools. If your dad likes to cook, consider getting him some grilling items that he wouldn’t buy for himself. Pair that with a handful of healthy summer recipes that would taste good and keep his cholesterol in check.
- Gym gear! If your father is into fitness, he might like a new backpack, gym bag, or pair of sneakers.
Personal Trainer Tip: if your dad has a fitness regimen, he might appreciate a gift certificate for personal training for ideas to help mix things up. Or, if he’s been wanting to try a new activity, you could get him a gift card for classes or equipment. Yelp is a great resource for finding quality classes and services in his area.
Give from the Heart
Buying gifts for dad doesn’t have to be a hassle if you think about the kinds of things he enjoys doing. But mostly, he’ll like spending time with YOU! So when in doubt, think of something you can connect on again and again in the long term. We’re sure you’ll find the perfect pick.
