Do you have gifts for your dad already? It's time to reward our dad for providing for the family and thank him for a wonderful job. What are the best gifts this Father's Day? I have thought of some priceless gifts for your dad this season. 1. Send him to a spa or massage and let him experience the wonders of pampering one's self. He needs that very much especially when he's at the prime. 2. Get to know more of him by spending some time with him. Ask where he wana go and treat him. 3. Prepare a sumptuous lunch or dinner made especially for him. Learn to make a new recipe in honor of him 4. Invite him with the family to a picnic at a nearby park, beach, port, or rooftop if you have one. 5. Get a bunch of his favorite wine, or beer and compose a wine tasting game. Or, if you really are into memorable, yet wonderful gift, you can also try: http://www.cafepress.com/pinoyart

Hi stbiii0, normally i will give my dad money so that he can use it to buy something he likes. Of course, my siblings and i will bring him out for a dinner. In my opinion, this is a better way. My dad used to comment on the gift i bought for him before. To me, he does not need anything, he is not smoking and drinking. Therefore, i really can't think of anything he wants, hehe~

Thank you for sharing just12blog! See, it really makes a difference when you spend some time with your dad, especially if they are the silent type. They would appreciate bonding times more than material things. Your dad just don't know how to appreciate properly the gesture because they are really not that used to show emotions or appreciation, but I'm sure he also love to receive even small gifts. It's probably just his way of saying thank you for being a thoughtful daughter/son, no matter how he says it. So don't think that he doesn't appreciate those small efforts!

Hi stbiii0, you are right, my dad is belongs to those silent type one. Thanks for the advice also, but i think i will still remain what i practice. By giving him the money and let him spend it to buy whatever he wants. Is not that he does not know how to express the appreciation, just that he is not really comment but more on scolding us for buying him the gift that he does not need it. So, i think money is the best gift to him, hehe~

Hello! If you want to give him a razor, try to give him the electronic ones (the one you use to shave private ones) I think they are the best razors as it doesn't hurt dad's skin. Most men are really not that careful when it comes to their facial skincare, in other words some are not that vain. But to give him this kind of razor will really make a long long way and help him to look great all the time. What a thoughtful gift (and a daughter you are) is that!

Does your Dad like cars or bikes? why not consider getting him a subscription to a magazine on those topics? Often this is not as expensive as some electric gadget. Also it is a gift that reminds them you love them over and over and over again!
