So, what are you waiting for? Get shopping!
Get a Thoughtful Gift
One of the best things that you can do for your dad on his birthday is to get him a thoughtful gift, not just a coffee cup that says “World’s Best Dad” because that is very cliché at this point. A vintage whiskey tumbler would be perfect for the slipper-wearing dad, or even a neck and back massager. There are numerous gift options and if you lack inspiration, you can check out this list from Printed Memories. If your dad is the type that enjoys DIY projects, a few new tools to add to your collection won’t hurt.
Go for a Filling Breakfast
Another great idea that your dad would enjoy would be if you took him out for a hearty breakfast. The great thing about this is that you don’t have to be super thoughtful about gift ideas, since he is effectively choosing his gifts. What’s more is that this will allow you to spend some time with him, which can be difficult during the week and weekends, with work and if you have your own family. Just make sure to take him to a restaurant that serves food he will enjoy.
Live Sports Event
The next idea on this as to what you could do for your dad on his birthday this year would be to take him to a live sports event. Almost every dad likes one sport or another, so if your dad does, this would not only be a great opportunity to spend time together, but also an opportunity to add some new memories to the collection. To make the day even more special, you should try getting VIP seats so that your dad is as close to the action as possible.
Play His Favorite Sport with Him
Much like going to a live sports event, if your dad does enjoy watching or playing sports, you could play his favorite sport with him. Most dads enjoy playing golf, and what better way to spend the day with your dad than playing a round or two of golf with him, before taking him for lunch? You could even make a bet as to who will win, and the loser needs to pay, (and if he loses, pay anyway).
Get a Subscription for Him
Did you know that around 214 million people around the world are subscribed to Netflix? Chances are, your dad is too, and if you want to give him some extra pocket money, why not get a subscription for him? There are many other subscriptions you could get too, such as online cooking classes, DIY classes, other streaming services, gym subscriptions, and more. It will all depend on your dad’s preferences.
Make Shopping Easier
If there is one thing that most dads hate more than anything, it is going shopping. The last thing that you should do is give your dad a voucher that can be spent at any store in a shopping mall. Rather than doing that, you should find out which stores your dad does enjoy shopping at and give him a gift voucher for that particular store.
Go on a Road Trip
If you have a dad that enjoys going on adventures, and you are dreading having to spend the day playing golf, then a great idea that both of you would enjoy would be going on a road trip together. This doesn’t necessarily mean you need to be gone for a few days; you could choose a small town or city close by to visit for the day.
Find a Fun Activity You’ll Enjoy Together
Finally, the last thing that you can do for your dad on his birthday this year would be to just be there with him. Most parents don’t care if they get a present, although it does make them feel appreciated, the fact that you remembered and took time out of your day to be there will mean the world to him.
