5 Simple Gift Ideas for a Dad from a Son

Dec 07, 2012 | Rita

By: Mike_fleming

Buying a gift for fathers isn’t always a walk in the park. Since dads always have their own personal preferences, you need to ensure that the gift you’re giving your father is something that he will cherish for a long time to come. In the following article we talk about a few gift ideas for fathers that will work great, regardless of the occasion…

1. Set of Golf Clubs: Does your dad enjoy golfing? If yes, then it’s a good idea to gift him a basic set of golf clubs. Even if he doesn’t play regularly, this might encourage him to play more often. A typical set of golf clubs includes a pitching wedge, three woods, three to nine irons along with a putter. As his skills improve, you can add to his collection with more specific golf clubs.

2. Engraved Pocket Knife: Some men love to carry around a pocket knife with them all the time, and your dad could be one of them. It’s just a very manly gift and will make your dad feel like an hero when he whips it out to open a box that arrived in the mail. A good place to buy a quality engraved pocket knife is Oregon Knife Shop.

3. Complete Fishing Gear: Give your father a gift that he will use regularly such as a complete set of fishing gear. With a present like this, you can make his fishing trips more memorable and adventurous. Salt and freshwater fishing gears come with everything, right from rods to lures to lines to nets – a complete package.

4. Auto Card Manager: What’s an auto card manager? It’s a simple electronic “card holder” that helps you keep all your plastic cards organized and secure. Gifting your father an auto card manager makes real sense as it’ll make it easy for him to find where his cards exactly are. He’ll be able to store away all his credit/debit cards along with his drivers license and IDs in this neat portable purse.

5. Football Photo Display: You can make a photo display for your father (a non-traditional one) with a few cheap items that can be purchased from the craft store. This is an idea that you can get really creative with, given that your dad is a football fan. Don’t make it too complicated and use simple items to make it.

Every son wants to give a gift to his father that goes a long way. A gift that helps them strengthen their bond and create a better relationship. The above ideas may look simple but they’re proven to work, given that you don’t rush into things and carefully choose your gift.

    These ideas are pretty good. I would add a cool remote control something. Dad and son could both have fun

    Tools are also good son to dad gifts, something dad might then use to teach the son how to make/build/fix something.

    I like the Football Photo. We would change it to soccer, but it still would be great. It is something that takes some thought and care to put together.

    Don’t forget events- often things like upcoming sporting events make wonderful gifts. It also makes for bonding time.

    I like the great ideas for the son to give to their Dad. I like the idea about an engraved pocket knife. To give a pocket knife with the father’s name on it is such a touching thought.

    I believe that gift ideas should be useful. Especially since most fathers are not sentimental. My dad loves new polo shirts or caps as gifts.
