Fathers´ Day

SPECIAL FATHERS DESERVE SPECIAL GIFTS
5 GIFT IDEAS FOR FATHERS’ DAY

W

hat do you give the man
who has taught you so
many things? How do you
make him feel extra special
on Fathers’ Day? June 15, 2014 or
June 21, 2014 (depending on where
you are in the world), marks a very
important occasion to celebrate fathers
all over the world. These questions are
not easily answered, as there is no one
gift idea, which works for all fathers.
We would like to suggest a few heartfelt easy to do gift ideas which we hope
will work for the man who has given
you so much.

Breakfast in bed

If your father is someone who normally
jumps out of bed bright and early
every morning, then a nice breakfast
in bed with all his favourite breakfast
foods could be just what he needs. It
might sound like a simple and obvious
idea but never underestimate what
a nice break from the norm can do.

Men’s time

No matter how committed your dad is
to his family, time away to relax with
his peers will never go amiss. Treat
your father to vouchers to his favourite
restaurant, sporting event or simply
arrange a meet up with his friends on
his behalf and ensure he gets there.
He’ll appreciate it. He will also come
home feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Handmade cards

They may not always show it but deep
down fathers are real softies and
nothing makes him well up inside more
than his children expressing how they
feel about him. Make your father a
card; decorate it with drawings of some
of his favourite things. Fill it with loving
words and compliments. You will have
him tearing up inside. Who knows,
he might shed a real tear or two.

Home video

Have you been wondering what to do
with all those short clips and photos of

After The Bell

the family that you have captured over
the years? This Fathers’ Day make
a home movie and set up a special
viewing for your father. You can have
great fun doing this. Set up a red carpet,
get dad to dress up, make a nice dinner
and go all out for the screening. He will
feel like a super star, as he will not only
enjoy the movie but the entire evening.

Upgrade his favourite
gadget
If your father loves gadgets chances are
he already has a garage full of them.
Help him enjoy his gadgets more by
buying him accessories for his favourite
gadgets. For example, if he loves music
and has an ipad or Ipod he might enjoy
a nice pair of wireless speakers.

These are just a few ideas to help you
find that special gift this Fathers’ Day.
The key thing is to remember that you
know your father and what will bring him
joy. The best gifts come from the heart
so make sure that your father feels
loved and special on this important day.
