Shakespeare says, "It is a wise father that knows his own child." And all
dads definitely deserve a special gift for Father's Day. While selecting
a gift for dad can be difficult, he will be happy with just about
anything his children give him. Yet it takes both heart and mind to
explore what your dad likes most. To give you some inspiration, here are
some ideas:

Panacea gifts that please all fathers:

If you can't see your Dad on Father's Day, then write him a paper or
electronic card, or call dad, telling him you love him.

If you do have time to visit Dad this Sunday, then have a meal with him
and toast him good health. What's more, give him a warm hug at the end of
the meal, because nothing can express how much you care for him than
physical contact.

If you manage to have even more time to spend with Dad, then cook him a
meal. This surely will let him remember you by this meal. Take a walk
with your father after the meal and have a nice chat.

Special gifts for different fathers:

If Dad is a workaholic, the following items can be quite useful to them:

1 Eyepatch: for fathers who fly a lot, an eyepatch ensures them a good
sleep even on airplanes.

2 Quality watch and pen: Watches and pens are the two most important
accessories for a man. Many shopping malls feature quality watch and pen
sets as Father's Day is approaching. Send Dad a set so that he has your
company even in his office.

3 Bodybuilding club membership card: tight work schedule edges out Dad's
time for exercising. Send him a gym membership and tell him look after
his body for you.

4 Vitamin gift package: Dads busy networking robs him of the time to have
a nutritionally well-balanced meal, which results in not enough vitamin
intake.
Vitamins can help the body stay healthy and increases the body's
resistance to many diseases like high blood pressure and high cholesterol
which strike middle-aged or senior citizens often.

5 CD of light music: it can be difficult for busy Fathers to fall asleep
when they have too many things on mind. Light music like New Age music
can help clear the mind and get prepared for sleep.
