Father's Day Gifts from a Son

Kelly  Brinks
There's nothing quite as strong as the bond between fathers and sons. But finding an FDay Gift to tell dad just how much he is loved can be a challenge for sons of any age. Here are just a few of the most popular Father's Day gifts to honor dad on his special day.

Gifts from the Heart

  • Digital Photo Key Chain. This makes a great gift for any dad who wants to keep up to 60 of his favorite photos close at hand. The attached digital photo player can display individual photos or function as a slide show. Dad can easily download and change the photos whenever he likes.
  • Slippers. Coming home to a comfy pair of cushioned slippers is a treat for any hard-working dad. You can find therapeutic fleece slippers lined with memory foam that are designed to softly cradle every square inch of the foot. Also look for slippers with skid-resistant soles for added stability.

At Home Gifts for Dad

  • Talking Grill Thermometer. This just might be the coolest FDay gift ever for dads who like to barbecue. All he has to do is insert the wireless sensor into the meat, set the doneness level, toss it on the grill, and relax until the thermometer announces (by voice or audio signal) that it's done.
  • Personalized Pub Sign. Whether he hangs it in his home, garage or office, a sports-themed pub sign celebrates dad's personal space. Look for hand-painted wooden signs that can be customized with his name or nickname. This makes a great FDay gift for dads who love football, baseball, basketball, billiards or golf.

Gifts for Work and Travel

  • Car Gadget Charger. It looks like a cup of premium coffee sitting in his car's cup holder, but it's really a power inverter that can run his laptop, phone charger, iPd and more. This is a perfect gift for dads who spend a lot of time in their cars.
  • Desktop Globe. It's hard to take your eyes off this high tech FDay gift for his home or office. The shiny globe floats in the air thanks to the magic of a powerful plug-in magnetic stand. This is a cool gift not just for dad but also for anyone who could use a little distraction from work or studying.
  • Hanging Travel Case. Hanging toiletry cases are more practical than a traditional Dopp kit and a great gift for dads who travel or like to shower after a workout. Most travel cases are made from nylon or leather, with compartments to keep his products organized, plus a hook to hang it up for easy access to everything he needs.

Gifts for Golfing Dads

  • Monogrammed golf club links. Lightweight aluminum links fit on top of the club handle to personalize it with dad's name, phone number and even a monogram. This is a classy gift that also helps him keep track of his clubs.
  • Golf-Themed Cooler. A personalized, golf-themed beverage cooler helps dad stay refreshed out on the course. Look for a cooler that clips securely to his golf cart or bag and has side pockets to hold his golf balls, keys, and cell phone.

There are all kinds of dads and all kinds of sons. Just know that no matter what you give your dad on FDay, what matters most is the love behind it.

    These are some great options that cover a wide range of interests for dads. I might also suggest items for the hunting and fishing fathers, such as the different camouflage ACU and BDU clothing options at: http://www.predatorbdu.com . Obviously you can't cover all the bases or you would have a book on your hands.
