Most of us find it pretty difficult to choose well thought out gifts as it is, but when it comes to getting gifts for dad, the decision can feel like pulling teeth. Honestly, it’s our dad, but the usual gifts just seem a bit cliche. We run to the shops and grab some novelty socks or a tie, maybe dash to the supermarket and pick up some generic box of chocolates or whatever other goodies are on offer and hope that these will do the trick. Truth be told our dad deserves a star named after him. Most of them have been the breadwinner all our lives, provided us with everything we could ever need, comforted us when we failed and encouraged us when we made them proud.

Father’s Day is a holiday celebrated to honour fathers. This tradition honours the bond between father and child with cards, gifts, and special mementoes. When you were very young, your Father’s Day gifts were most likely chosen by your mother and consisted of a card or a simple gift such as a tie. During your school years, you probably made gifts of art projects crafted by your hands which your father accepted with love and admiration. Now, though you want to give your father something he will cherish, not only because it is from you but because it is a gift worth giving as well. Luckily, finding such a gift is easy to do.

Every Dad wants a little excitement in his life right? Assuming that is a yes here are some Gifts for Fathers that will make him wonder what he did right this year.

If your dad fancies himself as an astrologer, then he will be over the moon with the gift of a star named after him. That’s right you can now buy a star, and it will be registered in your name. Your dad will receive a certificate of ownership and a chart mapping the exact co-ordinates of the location of the star so that he can view it by a telescope on a clear night and show it off to all his friends. This is truly a unique gift that he will treasure always. It cannot be lost or broken and is also a symbol of the eternal bond you share with your dad.

Gift baskets can be focused around a particular theme to personalise them for your special recipient. If your special man loves to work on projects out in the garage or workshop, why not put together a gift basket with this theme in mind. You could include gift items such as an electronic level or wrenches. Of course, you will also want to include some delicious treats as well. Chocolate lovers would enjoy chocolate-covered pretzels, cookies, and chocolate-covered raisins, and these can easily be included in your personalised Father’s Day gift basket. Many men find their fatherhood a stressful. Consider giving him a hammock or porch swing for his Father’s Day gift – a perfect place for the new family to cuddle and relax! Plan a quick escape, either for him and the guys or a date with mum. Tickets to sporting events or concerts are great Father’s Day gifts.

A gift bearing his name will be so much more treasured than a generic item as it will be one of a kind. He will take pride in it and care for it as well as showing it off! Many gifts for him can be personalised from mugs to pencils, clothing to photo frames and even snow globes. So take the time to browse around and source something your old man will love.

And don’t forget you can name a star and offer it as a gift today.
