Ideal Gifts Under $25 for Father's Day

Brad Kamer
Celebrating father's day should be fun not just for dad, but the whole family. The key to celebrating the day is making sure Dads get some peace and relaxation as well as spending quality time with family. Having fun also means not breaking the bank when it comes to spending on gifts for Dad. Believe it or not, there are plenty of thoughtful father's day gifts that can be found for twenty five dollars and under. For those that don't believe such gifts exist, here is a little list for reference.

1. Replacement Golf Balls '" Most dads love to play golf. Golf is a great escapism from the hectic work week. Regardless of handicap, most golfers end up losing their sleeves of golf balls over time. Take this opportunity to get Dad a dozen or so golf balls.

2. Grilling Tools '" Dad's day will be perfect if you consider getting him additional or replacement accessories to the grill. Consider several gadgets such as new burger flipper, tongs, thermometer, or even the attachable grill light for late night grilling.

3. Meat '" Unless dad is a vegan, there is always room for a good pair of juicy steaks for the grill. Take a trip out to the local meat market or butcher and get two healthy size filets or ribeyes. If you have a little extra money left over in the budget, add a bottle of his favorite steak sauce to the gift pack.

4. Beer '" If dad enjoys a good beer on the weekend, use this opportunity to treat him to his favorite flavor. Like every other product, beer ranges in price and tends to run much higher for imported and micro brewed selections. A twelve pack of micro brewed beer will run as expensive as a case of domestic. If the beer purchase is slightly under twenty five dollars, use the remainder to purchase a bag of peanuts or pretzels.

5. Hat or Golf Visor '" Take a hint of dad's favorite sports team whether professional or college and consider purchasing him a hat for Father's day. Most lids will run twenty five bucks or lower. Start the search for dad's visor a few weeks before father's day just in case the product needs to be specially ordered from a catalog or website.

6. Gift Card to Sports Store '" Most dads are weekend warriors and have a preference for some form of weekend sports whether it is golf, fishing, softball, tennis, or jogging. There are several items that you would like to get dad, but are way above the twenty five dollar range. Simply get Dad a twenty five dollar gift card that he can use towards purchasing one of his favorite items at the local sports store.

7. Magazine Subscription '" Perhaps dad is a serious sports fan, wood working expert, or just a serious hobbyist. There are several magazines out there that probably relate to dad's interests. Purchase dad a six or twelve month subscription to a magazine that ties into his interests. This really is the gift that keeps on giving.
