5 Clever Ideas for Father’s Day

Let’s face it, by the time your husband celebrates his 10th Father’s Day, you’re probably out of clever ideas for ways to arrange the kids’ hand prints into cute pictures. And he doesn’t really need another pair of boxers or a tie.  What do you do for the guy who has everything?

This year, try looking outside of the typical “Father’s Day” gift displays that you see inside every retailer and go with one of these practical, yet upscale gifts that dads of all ages will enjoy:

“My Dad Rocks” Apparel

While it’s certainly nice to give dad his own gift to recognize all that he does for the family, how about letting him see how much he’s appreciated on a regular basis with “My Dad Rocks” shirts for the kids from Union28. This is one t-shirt he won’t mind seeing week after week, and you can even pick up a “My Husband Rocks” shirt for yourself since prices start at $14.99. He’ll beam with pride every time he’s out with the kids while they’re wearing these fun shirts.

A New Smartphone

Keep dad up to date on the latest tech trends with the new BlackBerry Z10 which has a crisp, clear display to enjoy looking at family pics, voice recognition software which enables him to record voice memos and fast browsing that will allow him to get his work done faster, leaving more time for family activities. It comes with BBM video so he can chat face-to-face with other BlackBerry smartphone users, and there are hundreds of apps from which to choose. Starting at $599, it’s not a cheap gift, but it’s one that will certainly be used and enjoyed by any tech-savvy guy.

Shaving Kit

Treat dad to the perfect shave when you give him this four-piece Art of Shaving kit from Hair Envy. Around $100, it will provide far more shaves than he’ll get from the barber for the same price. This kit comes with products that are made from 100 percent natural essential oils which are gentle on his skin, giving him a smooth shave every time.

Wooden Tablet or iPhone Case

How about a cool looking wooden case for his iPad or iPhone?  A sleek, stylish yet manly one from Root Cases. The device fits snugly inside and the case and has a magnetic closure. These luxury cases come in both many different types of wood.  And, he’ll appreciate knowing that for every case sold, a new tree is planted in a no-logging location.

Food of the Month Club

The first Thursday of every month will be an exciting one in your home as dad eagerly rushes home to open the latest arrival from his coffee of the month club. Rather than give a box of chocolates that will be devoured in a few sittings, consider giving dad a subscription to a monthly service that delivers a gourmet food that he really loves. Gourmet Food Clubs offers gift subscriptions which send monthly packages of items such as coffee, beer, bacon, olives, jerky, cheesecake, peanut butter and wine right to your doorstep. Mom always said the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!  Prices vary depending on the food and length of subscription, but expect to spend $30-50 for each month.
