Yes, before you say it, Fathers Day isn’t until Sunday 21st June 2009, but it never hurts to think ahead now does it?! Your dad is special and you love him to bits. So whenever Fathers Day comes around you want to get him something extra special, a gift he’ll really love and appreciate. Don’t get me wrong, socks are a practical gift, so too is car polish and beer. But it is time to venture out of giving him the same presents each year. Forget traipsing around the high street and staring aimlessly at the shirts and smelly gift sets, let me broaden your alternative gift horizon instead. And there is no better place to do that, than with Findmeagift.com.

Most dads love their cars (some would say more than their wives!) Summer weekends spent washing and polishing their beloved four wheeled bundles of metal joy, ogling over classic cars in car parks or just armchair commentating on the Formula One. Sound familiar? In that case then why not treat him to a Motor Sport Experience Entrance Ticket for Two. A perfect gift for any petrol head!

It enables two people to spend the day at one of the top motorsport venues in the UK, such as Brands Hatch. Depending on the chosen circuit, your dad can either take you, or whoever he wishes along to a Classic Car, Supercar, Power-bike or a Stockcar race meeting, (typically D Class Meets).

Or ‘four’ that golf loving dad, why not ‘putt’ a smile on his face and help him sink a hole in one with the Golf Hook/Slice Talking Swing Meter! It is an electronic golf coach that offers instant audible feedback to help your dad master that winning swing. It uses precision engineering to sense your swing direction and then announces either “Hook”, “Slice” or hopefully “NICE SHOT”! His golfing buddies will be green with envy and totally tee-d off with his improved game!

Swap that “Best dad” mug for a glass instead, but I’m not talking just any old glass - upgrade to a Personalised Crystal Whisky Tumbler. Father’s are sophisticated too you know. This classic cut 24% lead crystal glass allows you to put a special personal engraved message up to 50 characters on it. So you can put his name or perhaps a particular occasion dear to you both on it? Or how about his favourite saying or his beloved football/rugby team engraved onto it? Whatever you like, just use your imagination, you know your dad, what would he like?!

If whisky isn’t his favourite tipple and brandy is, then get the Personalised Crystal Brandy Glass. Both are available for you to inscribe an extra special loving Father’s Day message and come in a beautiful presentation gift box too!
So whatever gifts you are after, whether it is sports related, gardening, practical, novelty, or perhaps even action and adventure gifts, you will be sure to find something that shows your dad how much he means to you. A gift that represents a huge heartfelt thank you for all he has done and still does for you and your family. So get ahead, get online and explore findmeagift.com and pick up that perfect present for your beloved dad for Father’s Day.

It’s funny how we all think we know our fathers well - until the time comes when we have to buy Father’s Day gifts for them. All of a sudden our minds draw blanks. We have ideas that seem great for about 0.3 seconds and then it dawns on us that the gifts we’re considering are bland, predictable and most importantly lacking in that special thing – the personal touch. But why is that so important?

Compare these two fabulous fathers day gifts: (1) a day spent throwing a screeching Lamborghini around corners at breakneck speed; (2) a day being pampered and massaged in a country retreat with scented candles and whale songs, where bath robes and flip flops are the height of fashion. Any father would be thrilled to receive either from their son or daughter, wouldn’t they? Well, no. For some dads, the idea of firing up a V12 and burning some rubber will cause the involuntary rolling of eyes and stifled yawns. For others, any activity that results in a lowering of the heart rate is a pointless, overindulgent exercise. Getting the wrong Father’s Day gift for Dad will just go to suggest that you’re confusing the things he would like with the things you would like. Straight away, you’ve failed the personal test.

So we’ve established that however magnificent and expensive a gift is, if it’s not bought with him in mind, it’s like giving a fry-up breakfast to a vegetarian. To be truly personal in your gift buying means avoiding stereotypes of “what dads like” and thinking about the actual person you’re buying for. If you get it right, you’ll certainly have made a grand gesture, no matter how much you’ve spent.

We all have experience of receiving gifts that show that the giver doesn’t actually know us all that well. If the gift is everyday and neutral, like chocolates, a good bottle of wine or a gift voucher, it’s fine. Quite often they are things that you like but rarely buy for yourself – and it would be ridiculous to assume we know everyone intimately. But when the gift tries to tap into your personality but misses by a mile, it can end up being quite embarrassing, especially when they see it on eBay a couple of days later (bundled with last year’s gift).

Buying Father’s Day Gifts isn’t like playing golf. You don’t take a drive down the fairway and then chip and putt your way to par. You have to get a hole in one every time. So now is the time to start really thinking about the things that excite your dad. How does he spend his weekends and evenings? Does he follow sport or hate it? Is he just happy to spend time with his family (or, if they’ve flown the nest, your mum)? Is he a gardener? A culture vulture? A thrill seeker? A cinema-goer? A wine connoisseur?

One thing that can be guaranteed is that once you’ve really given some thought to the loves of his life, finding an appropriate gift will be that much easier. Most importantly, it will be personal. And when you’re showing someone how much you love them, that’s the most important thing of all.

Best Fathers Day Gifts

Father’s Day is basically about making dad feel great for a whole Sunday before he goes back to work on Monday to start another year of feeling miserable. And if there’s one thing guaranteed to satisfy the average dad, it’s sport. In fact, something with a sporting theme has been the mainstay of Father’s Day presents for decades, and not without reason. It is, after all, what dads in particular and men in general choose to talk about when they’re not talking about women, traffic congestion and what they used to get up to when they were in their prime. And frankly, they don’t make very appropriate themes for presents. But finding a great sport-related gift isn’t as easy as it sounds. Let this guide help you find the right gift.

The primary question you need to ask yourself is what sport or sports does dad actually follow? There are still plenty of grown men who have not been dragged onto the football bandwagon but remain avid sports fans. Note that football doesn’t feature in the old adage that there are only two sports: mountaineering and bullfighting. Then again by this definition he probably isn’t a sport fan at all, especially if he’s an animal rights protester who lives in Norfolk.

Old sayings aside, we know perfectly well what we mean when we say sport. We’re talking golf, football, cricket, motor racing, rugby, boxing, snooker … You know, the ones that don’t involve crampons or peeved livestock. The events that get his heart racing and can affect the national mood; the games he plays at weekends to a disturbingly poor level but treats as though his life depended upon them.

Once you’ve established what sports your dad likes, it’s time to go online. Sport related Father’s Day gifts are not easy to find, but with a little digging you’ll start to find a treasure chest or two. Searching for websites that specialise in gifts is a great way to start. You’ll be able to find some gems that aren’t available in the shops to create a unique, even personalised, gift. Because these presents are not bought off the shelf, you can often have personal messages or your dad’s name printed on it at no extra cost, making a gift that’s extra personal.

So what kinds of sporty personalised Father’s Day Gifts can be found? We can start with things like sporting calendars and mugs containing messages and names spelt out in highly imaginative ways. Then there are the compilations of newspaper articles dating back a century or more featuring not only his favourite sport but often his club or national team, too. Anyone who’s interested in the history of his team will find it a fascinating read.

Merchandise with the names of clubs on them can also make great presents. Wallets, pens and keyrings are the kind of gifts that he’ll carry with him everywhere and use with the kind of pride only avid team followers can muster.

Perhaps the ultimate sporting Father’s Day present is the opportunity to become the next Roman Abramovich – or at least a small version of him. Yes, it’s now possible to give the gift of part-ownership in a football club so the recipient can really feel like a part of the sporting fraternity rather than merely a spectator. Winning and losing will suddenly take on whole new meanings.

Invest half an hour of your time and you’ll be able to source some amazing Father’s Day Gifts.
