If there is any gift that would count among the best Fathers Day gifts, he probably already owns it, or it's a big-ticket item that falls under "the family must vote on this" rule. Nonetheless, there are many items that would still delight dad on his special day.
1. Gizmos & Gadgets
Dads love their electronic gear, especially if it's something that makes life easier and healthier. Give him a Fitbit wristband in cool colors to help him keep track of fitness information such as physical activity, calorie intake and sleep. The statistics can be synchronized with data from other devices for a comprehensive wellness plan.
2. Music
Give dad the best noise-cancelling headphones available. The Bose Quiet Comfort 15 is one of the better Fathers Day gift ideas because it features high grade noise-cancelling circuitry along with the best sound quality. This set of headphones feature fully-padded, over the ear headpieces in a comfortable design that can be worn for hours of listening to music or blocking out the kids' noise.
3. Cool & Hip
Remind him of the days when he was hip, young and cool with a pair of Ray-Ban Outdoorsman Craft sunglases. Inspired by the iconic aviator sunglasses that started it all, this pair features crystal lenses, an elegant brow bar and cable temples for a comfortable fit. Choose black frames for a conservative dad or gold frames for a dad who likes to show off his sense of fun.
4. Family Time
The most creative personalized Fathers day gifts are the easiest to give. Plan a Father's Day celebration that revolves around his favorite activities. Buy tickets to the ballgame, and share a day of sunshine, hotdogs and wild cheering. Take him to an IMAX theater to experience the latest blockbuster movie, or reserve a table at his favorite diner.
Whatever you decide to do for your dad this year, eschew those ties and go with the well-planned, practical and personalized gifts that show you really care about him.
