Father’s Day Gift Ideas that are Unique and Special

Father’s Day is the perfect day to be the most thoughtful gift-giver. Mother’s Day presents are simple and reliable. They include perfume, Godiva chocolates, dinner, flowers, or a gift card for a massage. However, dads seem to always get the short end of their stick.

“This is the time you can indulge Dad and get him those things he’s ogled, but hasn’t gone to buy on his own,”Byon Penn is a manager at Jerry’s Home Improvement Center, Eugene, Ore. “But the ole, traditional necktie doesn’t quite cut it these days.”

Eric Garland, father of two children, is in agreement.

“There’s less of an emotional hoopla around Father’s Day traditionally, because men were considered more self-reliant,”Garland spoke with USA Today during an interview. “We don’t expect a lot, frankly. We don’t ask for it ? that goes to the image of men as the strong, silent provider who don’t need the open emotional support and affirmation of even those who are closest to them, which are their families. But I think that’s changing.”

Here are some tips to help you find the perfect gift that will suit your man.

* The Stylish Dad. A bottle of his favorite Scotch, some cufflinks made from the wood of his favorite baseball park, or if you must get a tie, perhaps a silk tie from Brioni or Turn-bull & Asser will be sure to please.
