The Perfect Gift for Your Father ~

It's not easy to pick a Father's Day gift as it is for Mother's Day. For her, there's always flowers and chocolate, perfume.. There always seem to be more things you can figure out for her. But for Father's Day it won't work that way for your dad. So you have to be more creative.

Gifts For Your Father

In fact, buying something for your father for his birthday can even be difficult. I remember when I had a party for my father turning 65 years old. We had all his friends over and a big celebration. The funniest part was when he was opening his gifts. EVERY GIFT was a shirt! My father had a great sense of humor and made a joke out of every box he opened! 

My father had a lot of interests, so it was easier to find something for him. He was also a violinist and a wood-worker. One year I found him a little kit to assemble a miniature violin. He enjoyed doing that so much. And I'm so glad that I was able to have that party for him because he passed away not too long afterwards. I miss him so much!
