Little Things can Mean a Lot

How many times has your father heard this: "I wanted to get you something nice, but I spent all of my money on Mother's Day." Even if you are on a budget, you can get your father something that will leave a lasting impression. Here are a dozen ideas:


A nice pair of sunglasses

A really nice flashlight

A nice pocket knife

A Leatherman or multi-tool

Solar lights*

A really good steak

A nice bottle of wine

An unexpected/exotic kind of beer

Tickets to an event he would love

Anything having to do with fishing**

A magazine subscription

A book or an audio book

*I can't explain why, but I think these things are very cool.
**...or golf or whatever your father enjoys doing

In other words, be creative -- have fun buying your father something he will really enjoy!
