Baby Shower Gift for Dads
Gift for Dads: The mom is always on the limelight when she is
pregnant. Poor Dad! He is also excited as mom. It is his
proudest moment too. After all it is his son or daughter too..
It would be nice to invite dad to the shower. If it is a ladies
only shower, you could still get the proud Dad-to-be a gift. In
this piece you will see some of the suggestions which could go
as gifts for Dad.
It is the thought that counts: The gift for dads need not be
necessarily expensive. There are plenty of ideas for the perfect
gift for dad to choose from. They would range from the
inexpensive to the very expensive. It all depends on your budget
and what you are willing to spend. Remember, it is the thought
that counts, not so much the gift.
If you remember the gift that you got in the past, even the
small inexpensive ones which came as a surprise were the
memorable ones. They made you glad by reminding you that your
friend or relative thought of you. Some of them you probably
still have, like a figurine, or something more elaborate. So the
future Dad would feel just as good about getting the perfect
gift for dads, especially if he wasn't expecting to get a gift.
So a surprise gift would add to his pleasure even more.
An expensive gift for dad would be nice too, but most people
cannot afford to buy them. You could however all get together
and get the father-to-be one gift. Let him know it came from all
of you. That way nobody would feel left out of the giving. You
don't all have to give the same amount, just what you can
afford.
A gift for Dad should be something which he likes or has a soft
spot for. Some of the less expensive gifts could be cologne,
after shave, a money clip, or gourmet coffee. If he writes
letters, you could get him some manly looking stationary
supplies. Or maybe something for his desk: A letter opener,
paper weight, pen and pencil holder, drawer organizer, postage
stamps - for the ugh! bills he has to send. Thank you notes
would be the perfect gift for dads, he wouldn't have to get them
himself to thank the guests for the gifts.
Want a unique gift for dad, try a Coffee Tasters Club from
DistinctDeliveries. Coffee lovers enjoy coffee from around the
world. You get to taste smooth Nicaraguan coffee or the exotic
flavor of Malawi coffee. With each monthly shipment they send
you two different 12 ounce bags of fresh roasted coffee from
around the world. You can choose either ground or whole bean
delivered to you. Some gifts for the bedroom would be a small
reading lamp, table for eating in bed, candy if he has a sweet
tooth. Or maybe a bath robe, slippers, or a bath towel wrap. The
perfect gift of this type is the "Time Out Gift Basket" by
DistinctDeliveries. Dad will enjoy the treats of Assorted Milk
Chocolate Sport Balls, Fruit Flavored Hard Candy, Hunter Nut Mix
and Deluxe Mixed Nuts, and a tin of Assorted Imported Butter
Cookies if he has a sweet tooth!
If he likes jewelry, then you gift him jewelry as well.
Remember, not all men like to wear jewelry. You might want to
ask the mother-to-be about Dad's tastes. An ID bracelet,
necklace, earring if he wears them, or a nice ring.
If Dad works out at the YMCA or local gym, or just likes to jog
he might appreciate a jogging suit, sports clothing, sport
accessories, jogging shorts, ball cap, gloves for weight
lifting, shirts for the gym, or maybe some sweatbands.
Golf balls or a golf club or set of clubs. Does he like
racketball or tennis? Some tennis balls, a tennis racket or
racketball racket for the worn out items he has now.
Does Dad like to go fishing? Pick him up some fishing lures, or
a book on fishing. Maybe a gift for dad like a new reel, or rod,
or rod and reel. A tackle box, some fishing accessories
included, or just as is.
Hunting might be something Dad does. He would appreciate some
gear related to hunting. A hunting jacket, orange cap, orange
gloves, or some scents to attract the animals. A magazine
subscription about one of the sports he likes.
A new watch to change his look or just to replace his old worn
looking watch. Then add a billfold to make it complete.
Does he collect memorabilia? Get him memorabilia that he
collects as the perfect gift for dad. Or just get him started
collecting by buying him something. For example: boxing
memorabilia, sports cards, or sports memorabilia.
An autographed ball, autographed jersey, or an authentic jersey
of his favorite team would be good gifts for dad. There are so
many sports; dad probably has a favorite sport he likes best.
If Dad likes to read, maybe he would like a magazine
subscription, book or book gift basket. Lastly, a good gift for
dads would be to get him a gift certificate for the local sports
store, Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target, hardware store, or sports
clothing store.
Again, ask his wife for help on this one. As hostess, give out
some of these for a gift idea for dad in a list to the guests
you are inviting.
