Fathers…we all have them. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors
and senses of humor. But what makes a father a dad?
In both little and big ways, your dad impacts your life. Your
relationship with your father influences your outlook on
authority, love and even religion. He’s the giant who let you
ride on his shoulders, the one who taught you to hit a ball, and
the hero who was never afraid of monsters. He scrutinized your
dates, showed you how to fix a flat tire, and expected you to earn
your allowance. Even those years you didn’t like him…you still
loved him.
How do you celebrate your dad? You can buy just about anything
these days. How do you tell dad he’s special to you without
hitting the mall? There are lots of ways. Here are some great
ideas to make your dad feel like a hero.
Great Gift Ideas #1
Give him the weekend off, not just the day. The whole weekend to
watch sports on TV, lay around and relax while you spoil him, or
go fishing. Rent the movies he wants to watch, fix his favorite
foods for dinner, make sure there is soda and/or his favorite beer
in the fridge, and give him the assurance that this is HIS
weekend, and you want to spoil him.
Great Gift Ideas #2
Give dad coupons from his family for chores and jobs he needs to
do, but doesn’t enjoy. coupons for cleaning out the garage,
taking out the garbage for a week or a month, mowing the lawn…Even
a coupon that lets him miss out on an event that he really doesn’t
want to attend can be appreciated as much as any watch or piece of
clothing. These coupons can be done simply by the kids, or more
elaborately on the computer. What counts is the heartfelt message
behind it.
