Father's Day UK, USA and Everywhere Else That Celebrates This Annual Dad's Event - Gift Ideas! By Nasasha Ashah

So what can you get your your dad on Father's Day - held on the third Sunday of June?

Got a bit stuck for ideas? Buying presents for men can be difficult as it is, and perhaps even moreso on this of all days. Maybe you have got a few ideas but are still looking for more options as you are not sure the present is good enough. Well, here are a few ideas to consider whether buying for your dad, or your husband/boyfriend with whom you are parents to a child.

First, some simple gift ideas your father may appreciate:

  • Aftershave - A bottle of the scented stuff works well if you know the types of fragrances he likes.
  • Shaving Kit or Electronic Shaver - encourage him to keep those whiskers trimmed, especially if they're turning gray.
  • DVDs, CDs, Books - Easy, Straighforward, Simple.
  • Electronic Gadgets and Accessories - could be something novel like a digital photo frame, or something more common - mp3 player, ipod/iphone, digital camera, mobile phone, games.
  • Watches, Rings, Chains, and Cufflinks - Easy, Straightforward, Simple.
  • Gift voucher - If you can't choose something, then let him choose himself. Amazon gift vouchers are perfect, so much to choose from.
  • Ornaments to decorate the place - and the great thing is it's for the house so it's really a shared present.
If he is a young or adrenaline loving dad, then here are some Fathers Day presents for men that like high-octane action!
  • Flying
  • Driving
  • Skydiving
  • Snowboarding
  • Hot Air Balloon Ride - this one is good as you could go together!
Non-Adrenaline Activities for the quieter paced father and shared experiences:
  • Horse riding - can do it together.
  • Champagne flight over London - a together mini-adventure in style.
  • Theatre - when was the last time you went?
  • Introductory or Professional session in a Recording Studio - As long as you won't regret hearing him post session rehearsing to be a star, this would be a good treat.
  • Karaoke - cheaper version of the above. Go find a local bar that has private rooms and arrange a night out with the family or send him off there with his mates.
  • Overnight Golf Break - another together activity.
  • Holiday Break - a pleasant surprise!
  • Local or Luxury Cruise - If you have got the money...
These are of course just some examples of presents for men that are available, but if you were confused before you should be getting some good ideas now of what to buy for Father's Day.
