Dads may be relatively easy to please, but that's no reason
to drop the ball on 2012 Father's Day. A good father will wear that ugly tie
until he retires, but he deserves more. The best gift ideas for Father's Day
take a father's personality into account.
The After Work Drinker
This dad likes nothing better than to pop open a cold one
after a hard day at work. He's never barbecued without a beer in hand. And he
has a special refrigerator out back reserved for his special brews.
A beer making kit is the best gift to celebrate the brew he
loves. They are relatively inexpensive and come equipped with all the
ingredients and equipment he'll need to make his own brew. Making the beer will
take less than a Saturday. Then maybe in a few months he'll share his creation
with the rest of the family.
The Workaholic
The Workaholic dad treats his job like his second family.
Quality time with him is great, but its always before nine and after five.
That's because he spends most of his time trying to give his family a better
life.
A briefcase is the best reward for a workaholic dad who is
willing to make sacrifices. It may sound like an obvious idea, but that doesn't
mean it's not a great one. Get the whole family to chip in on a really
beautiful piece that he'll fall in love with. Whenever anyone at the office
asks him about his great new accessory, he'll get to talk about his family and
how they have the best gift ideas ever.
The Hobbyist
When this dad isn't at work or hanging out with you guys,
he's in the garage. No one's exactly sure what he does behind closed doors all
day. But he seems to enjoy it and it keeps him too busy to nag the kids about
taking out the trash.
This Father's Day, why not be a good kid and find out
exactly what his tinkering is all about. Do a little web searching, talk to
other hobbyists in the field and really get to know the ins and outs. Use that
intelligence to buy him something special. A little research can mean the
difference between another coffee table book on model trains that'll get lost
on a dusty shelf and the rare vintage brass HO Locomotive model train that he's
wanted since he was 10.
