They embarrass us by telling our friends how we used to run around the garden in a pair of red wellies and nothing else, or taking over the dance floor at family parties with their cringeworthy dad dance? Priceless! But then again, dads are good as a free taxi service, good at fixing things and always ready to offer sound advice - even if you dont always want to hear it. So perhaps on balance, one day a year isnt too bad to say thanks for putting up with us kids (whatever our age). Yet, children all over the country are plagued with the same old problem - what on Earth do you buy your dad for Fathers Day. Well, to help you out, Ive put on my thinking cap on and came up with some excellent gift ideas to suit all budgets. So forget the socks and ties this Father's Day and instead, treat your dad to something really special. High budget: £50 + If money is no object then its easy to come up with something nice for your dad. But instead of just buying him the latest designer outfit, why not put some thought and personality into your gift as well? If you go for something like diamond studded cufflinks or watch, personalise them with an engraved message. For something memorable, how about an experience gift; you could send your dad hot air ballooning; give him a flying lesson or a VIP ticket to his favourite sporting or musical event. You could even send him off on a mini-break weekend to somewhere hes always wanted to go. Medium budget: £5 - £50 A bottle of champagne or his favourite wine is usually a welcome gift. Alternatively, a book by his favourite author or one on his favourite subject, whether its football or pigeon racing that interests him, will let your dad know that youve put some thought into his gift. And dont forget, if your budget is at the lower end of this scale and youre dad lives away, you could always surprise him with a Fathers Day helium balloon delivery. Zero budget: If cash is tight, why not spend some time on your dad instead? Make him a card, take him breakfast in bed along with the morning paper and make sure that Fathers Day is completely relaxing for him. You could even give him a promissory voucher that you will clean the car or cut the lawn or do the dishes for him for two weeks. Or if you have an artistic side, draw him a picture, write a poem or create a story just for him. You might be surprised; the thought that goes into this type of gift will probably have far more value for your dad. Any budget: How about creating your own Dads gift basket? Buy him a sports bag or a holdall and fill it with all your dads favourite things; toiletries, chocolates, CDs, whatever you feel like including. This way you can spend as much or as little as you like. Whatever you get for your dad this Fathers Day, dont forget to tell him how much he means to you - after all that doesnt cost a penny! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Sophie Baxter is the Managing Director of http://www.bigfatballoons.co.uk a company devoted to selling balloons, teddy bears, chocolates and cheerful gifts with the 'wow-factor'. On the birth of her baby, Sophie was given an helium filled balloon in a gift box, that made her go 'WOW' and kept both baby and Dad entertained. A few months later, she organised a helium balloon delivery for a friend's 50th birthday which went down so well that Sophie realised that she had stumbled across an idea that made giving and receiving gifts easy, enjoyable and great fun. --- END ARTICLE --- Get HTML or TEXT Copy-and-Paste Versions Of This Article at: http://thePhantomWriters.com/free_content/db/b/gift-idea-problem.shtml#get_code .....................................
