What can I give dad?

A father’s birthday or other holiday is one of the most important days that is close to the heart of every child. Starting at the age of five, we are all quite adults to understand the hard work and efforts that our father made to raise us and help us reach great heights in life. Our hearts are filled with extreme love and respect, which we want to show through our gifts. And so the gift should be thoughtful and unique.

Gifts to the father are not easy. A man (unlike a woman) does not need a thousand pairs of shoes, many trousers and cosmetics for each part of the body. It’s better to clarify right away - what he is passionate about, what are his interests.

There are things that should not be presented as a gift. There are not many of them, we list them.

• Medications. Such a gift will be a hint of a man’s weakness and ill health.

• Animals. The pet needs to be cleaned, followed. It must be fed. Otherwise, the animal will quickly be on the street. Only payment for an animal already selected by the father is allowed.

• Socks. Do not give such a primitive gift.

• Shaving foam. They buy it as it ends, and not by the time of the father’s holiday, regardless of whether he needs one more foam or not.

• Underwear - It is indecent to give.

• Things that you can not conditionally give. This watch (they seem to be counting down the time), knives (lead to quarrels), a handkerchief (will cause tears). However, these items are handed.But as if selling them to a birthday man or a jubilee for symbolic money. For example, for the ruble.

There are many ideas of what a father can present as a present. Consider the most popular.

This is the most common idea. However, such a gift will always be unique if you insert photographs from the past of different family members into the album, supplementing them with appropriate inscriptions or quotes that will not be forgotten the next morning. You do not need to be a graphic designer or have any artistic skills to make the photo book look beautiful.

A combination of modernity and memories for those people who are not afraid of new technologies.

Another common idea. However, this takes a little longer to implement. This is a unique form of appreciation worth considering. You can independently make videos, in which there may be reviews of father's friends about him. Or mount his old records in a new way. In general, there are unlimited possibilities for the manifestation of fantasy. Or order a movie from professionals.

Photos of all family members placed on a tree that displays all family ties. This idea is especially interesting for those who are interested in genealogy.

An item that measures the passage of time can simultaneously resemble certain events of the past. Such a gift is guaranteed to cause a lot of positive emotions.

If your dad likes to travel, give him a book about distant lands that will inspire and mobilize him on his next trip. A book about those places he often visits is perfect for a trucker father. Such books are always of interest.

Traditional and new board games in a more exclusive edition are a good idea. You can attach an engraving inscription to them. For example, "The smartest, beloved dad."

Maybe dad sometimes wants to get a “lazy" breakfast in bed - you can gently offer him on a tray with legs.

Another unusual idea, but, of course, not for everyone. If your parent is not afraid of such a trip, he will not forget it until the end of his life. Such a present can be made on the anniversary, on the Day of the border guard (especially if the pope served in the border troops) or on the Day of the paratrooper.

You can give it to father or for two with mom. The package may include two nights with breakfast and dinner at the hotel. Parents can enjoy a relaxing massage, choose a hydromassage and relax in the wellness center.

Any cruise for one or two (with a steering on board). For many, this will be a return to youth.

Cups with inscriptions know (and have), probably all. Glasses are something new.

More recently, wine sets have become a very popular gift.

Good wine is perfect for any occasion. Even better when it is in an elegant box.And it is desirable that the wine was your own making. Yes, and with your own special labels. And if you also write the date when to open the wine.

Alcohol in decorative bottles - for example, 12-year-old brandy in the form of a cello or cognac in a bottle with a bust of Napoleon.

You can put whatever you think into it. From flowers, coffee, chocolate and local delicacies to the variety of things described above.

All certificates for parents issued by their children are a gift with a certain sense of humor. But still very personal (if you write the content yourself). A great gift idea for fathers who have many other serious diplomas on the walls of their offices.

Some people may laugh and say that this is stupid, but there are dads who like this gift.

If cufflinks are too expensive a gift for you (or your dad doesn’t wear them at all), you can think of a men's bracelet.

A watch with an engraved inscription or quote can also be an interesting idea.

The inscription “Best Dad”, engraved on the decanter, is also a kind of decoration (like “Oscar”, only more useful).

If your dad uses a brush (there are still such people in the world) - this is a gift for him.

A great idea for professionally active parents who always write or sign something. You can make an engraving on the pen itself or just on the box. Such an elegant gift can be presented to the guy’s father (when meeting).

If your dad loves mushroom expeditions to the forest, he will surely be happy with a new mushroom knife - preferably a folding knife, with a curved blade and a brush for cleaning leaves, needles and soil.

If your dad is a big coffee lover, you can give him accessories for making a coffee drink or just a bag of aromatic ground coffee. When it comes to coffee making equipment, there really are many possibilities. You don’t have to buy a large and expensive coffee machine - sometimes a small coffee machine is enough to make truly aromatic and tasty coffee.

A father who is a fan of Asian cuisine will certainly be happy if you give him sushi accessories. It can be a whole set or any of its elements - a serving board, bowls, a bamboo mat and others.

A mug with the slogan “Russian Gates!”, Glasses with football symbols, a thermos with a specific team or a special wig. These and other fan things can be a great gift for dad, who is closely following the fate of his football team. Every football fan will certainly be happy with such accessories.

Father loves spending more time at home, cannot imagine his life without neighbors, whom he eagerly invites to the barbecue, cooked on the balcony, and his favorite entertainment is the TV? Choose a gift that matches his lifestyle.

Maybe he will like the classic hammock. All you need is a few meters of weather-resistant fabric and a place where you can attach a hammock.

An interesting gift for bibliophiles will be an unusual, interesting book, preferably an anniversary or collector's edition.

For lovers of puzzles or modeling, we will find many interesting large and small sets for layout or gluing.

It would be a good idea for music lovers to buy a dad’s favorite artist CD or vinyl record, which has again become popular.

An interesting gift will be a cool cup of an original form - in the form of a grenade or lens, a hammer or a screwdriver.

Before your dad pours cold beer into a glass mug, he must first open the sealed bottle. Help him with this: give him a bottle opener. A small but very useful gift. It can be a classic opener or in the form of an airplane, bicycle, treble clef, bullet or guitar. Some openers have a magnet that allows them to hang on the refrigerator so that they don’t have to look long.

If your dad complains about classic ice cubes that dilute a drink when added, give him cooling drink cubes made of metal or stone. They will cool the drink well, but will not dissolve and will not change its taste. In addition, they are reusable. After each use, you only need to wash them thoroughly. Ideal for various types of drinks and whiskey.

It is worth buying a carafe of whiskey with glasses and cooling cubes, which will serve alcohol in the right condition. Thick glass and cork protect the drink from losing valuable aromas and keep it cold. You can choose a decanter in a classical form or try to buy its more fanciful forms in the form of a gun, skull, bow tie.

Although “New York is always a good idea,” airfare to the United States is expensive. It may be worth providing your father with a small substitute for a trip to America at an affordable price.

Give father a drone with video registration. This interactive toy from the world of science fiction, perhaps, will help dad, as if flying over the city himself.

If your dad loves old cars, stays in the garage for hours, poking around in the car, and then washing his dirty hands for a long time, fulfill your father's dream of getting a real drive and let him feel the pressure of the wind in his hair. Rent a top car for one day.

A practical creative gadget that helps dad check the speed of a car without being distracted from the road. This device will ensure safety and increase driving comfort.

Introducing several budget presentations for your beloved dad.

Sweet thanks, which are likely to disappear pretty quickly.

But other budget gifts are also suitable:

• towel;
• T-shirt for dad with an individual pattern;
• phone stand;
• box of chocolates.

Choosing a gift for the father, we can give something universal that will be useful to every man, or an individually selected thing depending on the hobbies and interests of the pope.

• Another simple thing that dad will surely come in handy is a leather goods item: wallet, trouser belt or card holder.
• You can buy a good shirt, but if you are not sure about the exact size of the things your father wears, it’s safer to give a tie. If this is the only gift, it is worth investing in a good quality tie. If dad has a sense of humor, you can present him with a tie with a funny inscription or motive, for example, with yellow ducklings.

• Mugs and thermoses for a coffee lover, glasses and decanters for a good liquor, cookbooks and accessories for a chef, traditional photo frames and much more can be given to dad. But remember that a good gift is given to a father from the bottom of his heart!

You can give him accessories that will be both interesting and practical. The list below may inspire you.

• Ceramic mug with an interesting inscription or a funny pattern - A small but always welcome gift for dad. There are many options for inscriptions. For example, “You are my hero, dad,” “Dad, I'm your fan,” “Captain,” or “Sheriff.” You can choose a classic cup or a special glass for brewing tea, which will facilitate the preparation of this drink.

• A photo frame is a good idea for a gift to your father. Especially if it will be a gift from the youngest child. Just select an option with interesting graphics and a beautiful inscription. Dad will surely be pleased with the frame with the slogan "The best dad of the world" or "The strongest dad." Just insert a photo or handmade card - and the gift is ready.

• Dad is a grill master - surely he will be happy with new devices that will allow him to develop culinary abilities. You can give him a stone for grilling, on which he will cook his favorite steaks, barbecue or pork neck. In addition, do not forget about the protective kitchen apron, preferably with the words “Grill Master” or “Lord of the barbecue” so that dad can wear it with pride.

• Headphones, in which he will be able to listen to his favorite music, even when the children are running around the house. Many models also have a built-in microphone, with which you can talk on the phone. They can also be useful at work or in the car.
• Help your child write / drawhow much he loves dad, and then put the card in such a place that her father must notice it.
• Let dad choose the dinner menu. After all, it's his day! This time he does not clean after eating. Let the children clean for their father.

• Go to the place he always wanted to visitbut the rest of the family thought it was boring.
• Get out the old photos of the father with your children. View them will be very fun!
• Give the children an idea to draw a comic about dad-superherowho fearlessly looks at the monsters living under the bed and at the mysterious figures hiding behind the window after dark.

As already mentioned, all men love practical and useful things.

• Every man, even if he is not an avid lover to do everything with his own hands, needs basic tools for small homework. Therefore, dad should be equipped with a set of tools in a convenient suitcase. You can choose a basic set or more advanced.
• An interesting idea is to give father multifunctional penknife, which can be useful in a variety of situations, and not just for opening bottles.
• What every man needs every day is good razor. A wide range of electric shavers is presented on the market today, which are much faster and better than their prototypes made before.
• Besides a shaving machine, a cool gift for a father can be buying quality cologne or perfume. In the latter case, it is worth knowing what kind of scents dad prefers.

• Choosing a gift for your father will also be easier if he is an avid angler. It is worth thinking about special shoes for fishing, a good fishing line, a fishing net or a set of floats. True, this requires us at least basic knowledge in this topic. It is much easier to buy something more universal, for example, a fishing chair, which is useful not only during fishing, but also on the garden site.

• For lovers of alcohol there is a wide range of options. We can invest in elegant drinking utensils, such as a large beer mug, wine glasses or a wine set. We can also present dad the best types of alcohol. Today you can buy a drink for every taste.

• In turn, a smoker can buy elegant cigarette case or electronic cigarette and thus take the first step towards getting rid of this addiction.

• But if your dad likes to cook, you can give him cookbook. With this gift you will develop his culinary skills. Choose a collection of dishes that he likes the most: “Minced meat”, “Pizza”, “Grill - the best recipes”, “Meat for all occasions” or “Kitchen for a guy”.
• Practical thermos. A good thermos or a comfortable thermo mug will be an excellent choice for a dad who cannot part with his drink. Such items maintain the necessary temperature for hot and cold drinks, which makes them useful all year round. Both on cool and hot days. Ideal for going to work, family walks or cycling. Coffee or a refreshing drink will always be with dad.

Equipment for sports and recreation will please a sports dad or father who takes care of his health.

• Swimming supplies - This is not only a swimming cap, goggles and swimming trunks. If Dad is an avid athlete, he probably has it all. You can give him a tube - this is an inexpensive swimming equipment with a special pipe design and mouthpiece. Its use is simple, but improves swimming results. It allows you to draw in air without having to unscrew your body and remove your head from the water. Thanks to this device, you can focus more on muscle work and proper body movement.

• Sport shoes. If your father spends his free time preparing for the marathon, reading tips for runners, buy him decent sneakers. Innovative, technical shoes cost a lot of money, but will last him for many years. In specially designed durable models with a breathable membrane, the workout is more comfortable, which leads to better results. The stabilizing footwear design reduces the risk of dangerous injuries.
• Climber Equipment. Father loves to conquer the mountain peaks and supports the slogan “Throw everything and go to the mountains” - buy him a purely professional, lightweight and roomy backpack. Pay attention to climbing equipment. Try to choose durable material from special polyester, with a waterproof coating, especially from the bottom.

• Guitar. Every time dad goes down to the cellar for a can of pickles, he looks sentimental at an old guitar with a broken neck. He will be happy if you give him a new model of the instrument. You can choose branded professional models. Cult guitars such as Ibanez, Fender or Gibson are more likely to be a tool for professional musicians. But why not give your father the best and timeless?
• Cinema without leaving home. Dad’s favorite pastime is relaxing in front of the TV screen. A cinema in the father’s living room is possible. Add a soundbar speaker to your old TV. This setting will definitely improve the sound quality and create the feeling that you are in a movie theater. Its design is made in such a way as not to take up much space.
• A great gift idea will be the presentation of modern electronics. Phone or tablet will surely please your father. Men love the new advanced technique.

Any, even very expensive gifts will be discounted if you hand them in a hurry, without proper packaging and accompanying speech from the heart.

Conversely, small souvenirs can seem very expensive if the situation of their presentation is thought out. Ideally, a beautifully wrapped gift with a card, which can be signed by everyone who gives this present, will be ideal. It used to be given that way. Today, this rule is forgotten.

If you add small additions to the presentation, the effect will be even stronger. For example, accompaniment of a solemn moment with beautiful music or a song. It is also important to wear the appropriate outfit for the holiday. Suppose, instead of a regular tie, put on a bow tie.

There are several phrases that can accompany the presentation of a gift, they can be used when giving a gift to a close friend, family member or loved one.

• I’ve prepared something here and I hope you enjoy it.
• Look what I have for you!
• I thought you might like this for ...
• Happy Birthday! [Happy anniversary! ] Here is a small gift / present for you.
• [Hands someone a present] Enjoy!
• This is a small present, but I hope you enjoy it.

A few common presentation phrases in formal settings, such as a wedding or a business dinner:

• Dear [Name]. I would like to give you this gift.
• I would like to introduce you this ... [very formally, used when presenting an award or a special gift]
• This is a sign of our appreciation.

And finally, the packaging. So that the celebration of congratulations is not overshadowed by the careless look of the gift, it is very important to prepare not only the presentation process, but also the packaging of the present itself.

There are many gift wrapping options.

• For packaging, select colorful but quickly tearing paper.
• Cut the illustrations from old greeting cards and stick them on plain paper, in which the gift is packed.
• Velvet ribbon looks luxurious on plain white paper.
• A bow tie, fastened with a simple thread, looks gorgeous on a box with a gift.

• Decorative gift boxes do not require packaging. Just put the item you want to hand in the box.
• A white box plus a color ribbon instantly creates a festive look.
• What could be more fun than a gift tied with a rope?
• Enlarge the calendar page on your computer and print. Then wrap the gift so that the holiday date is visible.
• Round boxes are great for unusual shaped gifts such as figurines, goblets, bags and dishes.
• Make your own holiday gift pictures and texts that you can stick on the gift wrapping or use them yourself as a presentation decoration.
