i suggest fillial is the best
i think one of those imate may be a good idea. Since he is a businessman.
get him a bottle of Jack Daniels every dad loves that. or buy him a vols football shirt
Buy him a new peice of luggage since he travels and make sure you get him a card that says
for the dad that already has everything
Or buy him a team jersey for the team you mentioned he likes.
i think u should get him a nice pair of leather gloves. not for golf, for general going out
get him fun frames! they are little credit card size thingies and you and your sibs can pay for a family portrait and give himt he fun frames. they rock and he cna paste a wallet size photo int he fun frame and when he pulls out his credit card he will see the photo of you guys. the fun frame will protect the photo.
get him custom golf balls. like number 1 dad or something. maybe jeff gordon golf balls with teh number 24 all over them. if he travels alot, then im sure he has a laptop? if so buy him a nice laptop bag. buy him a mini fridge that keeps a couple of pepsis in it for his office.
buy him a round of golf. Jersey from his fav team. If he likes to read get him a book you’d know he’d like. Piece of luggage, or anything really that is needed when traveling.
Dad’s never have everything. A present from his daughter no matter what it is, will make him happy.
But here are a few suggestions -
It really depends on how much you want to spend. He likes Nascar so go to Nascar.com and get him something with Jeff Gordon on it. Go to the Vols’ webpage and get something from it. Or give him a gift certificate to a favorite restaurant or one to play a round of golf at his favorite course.
Go have a formal picture of yourself and any siblings and have it framed. Dads always love pictures.
My dad collected die-cast cars and trucks so we always had the perfect gift.
Good luck!
PICKLE JAR!!!!
mabye some brand name stuff
lolz jkjkjk
i would get him a nice pair of shoes
my parents tend to like braand name stuff
but uhh you know your dad better than anyone up here so…idk
There are all kinds of Jeff Gordon collectibles, from clothing, watches, die cast calenders, paper products. If not sure, go to nascar.com and look around at there products. Guys really go for the 1/24 scale of die cast cars made by Action (not walmart brand) see if there is a hobby store around your area that carries the real stuff for Nascar. or if you want to go all out get tickets for a nascar race. or if you have Direct TV, right now for about $20.00 you can get the last few races on TV, where he can experience being in the car with a driver and hearing what the driver is saying during the races. (can’t remember what it is called, but you could do a search on directv and find out.
A golf ball water globe
A white golf ball inside, try to put the ball on the T, can you do it? Around $20.00. nice large size. Play or desk sitter.
Local post office now has nascar items for sale.
and try Nascar.com. New releases coming out.
Be fun, wrap a case of pepsi, my man loves getting his snacks. (a private stash).
Okay, you know your dad much better than anyone here on this Forum, so only you can really decide what to get him, based upon what we suggest. But, here’s an Idea. Go to and look through the listing of all the cool stuff there. Also, what Magazines does he like to read ? The best one, if he doesn’t have it already, is . Read the on line page. The Printed version is actually much better. It comes ou every week, and it’s a very brief compilation of News from all over the world, from all other sources, Time, Newsweek, Salon, The Onion, CNN, Fox News, The Washington Post, New York Times, on and on. and it’s only about 54 Pages. In only about an Hour of reading, he will get the equivalent of many Hours of Information, much better than any TV or Newspaper ! This is , quite simply the best News Magazine ever ! It ain’t Cheap, at about $50 a Year, but it’s well worth it ! And, they offer a free trial, so you can try it. But you will like it ! Bet your Dad will too !
Men generally likes gadgets so how about something that could make his life easier and fun. You didn’t state what your budget limit is so here are my recommendations:
1. Electronic navigator to put in his car
2. Small car compass to stick in his car
3. Portable air compressor w/tire guage flashlight built in:
4. The latest and coolest cell phone
5. Cool new watch
6. Toy golfing set for use in his office or at home:
7. A better wallet than the one he has now, trifold maybe.
8. Golf Course Club Balls Print/Poster
9. Golf ball bookends
10.Golf neon sign 1936
Give him a gift card to Walmart or a sports shop (maybe) or to a great restuarant that he likes or to his favorite movie theater (if he likes movies). Does he need anything for his car; like new carpet pads (two for the front seats and two for the back). That’s what I asked my daughter to get me one year.
Does he have a cell phone? Or does he want one?
I know how you feel about gifts for dads, I’m struggling with mine as well!
But from the top of my head, the first things that came to mind when I read your post were:
You said he travels a lot on a plane with his business. I was just in the mall yesterday and in one store, they had a neck pillow like this:
They are so incredibly comfy and very nice for plane rides. Not too expensive either.
Also, I don’t know if you have a Personally Yours / Things Engraved / Things Remembered anywhere in your city (all the same company, different names), but for Father’s Day, I got my dad a golf keychain, as he loves golf, and I engraved it to say #1 Dad on it. He uses it all the time. Very handy and personal.
You can also get him something related to Jeff Gordon like a t-shirt, autographed photo and frame it, etc.
And I know this wasn’t on your list of likes, but why not get a personalized calendar made? You can use photos of yourself (and if you have any siblings), growing up and add some photos of you with your father for each month. Surely everyone needs a new calendar for 2008! Walmart and Staples both do them.
Hope that helps a bit.
Boring Dads are a good thing they don’t beat or yell at you, they don’t cause pain in your life.
Be Grateful!!
When in doubt I always give food… I make my Dad some sort of cookies, cake, even brownies or fudge. He doesn’t have to store it just eat it and he is very happy to get something homemade from his daughter. Christmas is about thoughtfulness not material gains.
A multitool. They come in all price ranges.
