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.
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.
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.
