Here's what dad really wants for Father's Day
For the dad who loves playing outdoors
What dad wouldn't be excited to cruise the terrain in an ATV? Is he more into water than land? Why not get him a certificate for a whitewater rafting adventure? No matter what the activity, as long as he's able to indulge in some serious playtime outdoors, he's going to love his gift from you.
For the dad who loves to read
Show your dad you've been paying attention by surprising him with first editions of his favorite books. Bonus points if the books are signed by the author. Alternative idea: Find out if his favorite author is giving a talk at a local college or book venue. Tickets to see this author (which often come with a copy of their newest publication) will surely be a delight for dear old dad.
For the dad who's hard to shop for
Monthly subscriptions are all the rage, and there are numerous options that will make even the most difficult dad excited to check the mail. Whether Dad's into artisanal shaving sets, tasting new beers, donning new socks and underwear, or having fresh, healthy dinners readily available, there is a monthly gift subscription to make him smile.
For the dad who loves sports
Does your dad watch all his favorite sports on TV? Why not take him to a live game, and spoil him with beer in plastic cups and deliciously greasy arena food? Even if you can only afford nosebleed seats, your dad will have a fantastic time in the stadium, watching a game with you.
For the dad who hogs the remote
Upgrade your dad's cable TV experience by gifting him with a cool subscription package with the channels he loves. Whether he's a movie buff and would enjoy premium cable channels or a sports fiend who would love to watch every game from the comfort of his living room, the gift of new channels will make your remote-hogging dad one happy couch potato.
For the dad who likes the finer things
There's something so cool about sipping aged whiskey from a gorgeous glass. If your dad loves the good stuff, splurge on the best bottle of booze you can afford and don't forget the tumbler set to go with it.
