Father’s Day Ideas for Older Kids
Older kids have much more experience in
coming up with Father’s day ideas. Well, just in case you need a few
more, here are some Father’s Day ideas for older kids.
When it comes to Father’s Day, my dad is
difficult to buy gifts for. So I look around to see what he is
reading, or what movies he is watching or what music he is listening
to. Then I go to my best online friend, amazon.com, and pick out
books, music and movies he would most enjoy. Sometimes I am lucky
and choose the perfect gift. Sometimes, especially if the gift is
clothing; I wind up returning it. So now I buy gifts that I know he
will definitely like. For example:
* DVDs of his favorite TV shows or movies
* Subscription to his favorite magazine
* Gift Certificate to Blockbusters so he can choose the movie
* Gift Certificate to a major department store where he can shop for
any clothing he likes
* Since he loves Beagles, I had an artisan draw a picture of a
beagle on a piece of freshly cut wood.
* One year, I saw a wonderful painting of a man and his beagle,
walking in the woods. (Both of these are still hanging in his
bedroom to this day)!
* Another year, I purchased tickets to a baseball game for him.
* Since he also collects coins, I purchase newly minted coins from
Franklin Mint.
Now your dad may enjoy different things. What matters, and what is
most appreciated, is spending the time to find the perfect gift. So
here is a great project for you: study your dad’s reading, music,
and movie habits and you can either take him to see a movie with
lunch afterward; take him to a baseball game; buy his favorite TV
shows now on DVD;
get him a box of golf balls or new golf mitts; or spend the day on a
putting green. Maybe your dad collects baseball cards. If so, you
can go on eBay and buy a few boxes of the latest hobby baseball
boxes available. If you have saved enough or wish to pull money
together with your siblings, you may prefer to purchase an
autographed card of his favorite player!
There are so many things, other than a tie, that you can buy or plan
for and with your dad.
Look upon this as a Mission: Impossible
assignment. If you accept, you know what lies ahead. More
importantly, if you’ve never done it before, give him and hug and
tell him how much you love him! There is no greater gift you can
give your dad than that!
