    Hi Everyone,

    I need your help on a Super Important topic......what do I get the best Daddy in the world for Father's Day? I have some ideas but would like to hear from the nice Dads on here too :) He is very sweet, super fun, enjoys sports, works in a professional environment and loves his family very much. Any ideas would be appreciated - electronics, sports stuff, something for his office??? Wish I was rich cause then I could buy him 1 of everything! Looking forward to your ideas :)

    Thank you all,

    Steph

    Check this site out, some really cool stuff there.

    Or how about an activity/experience gift? Drive a nascar, stadium tour, balloon trip, you get the drift.

    I'm a middle aged dad and would love any of the above.

    absolutely, imho, simply  offer yourself  to do anything  he might want to do

    being in the professional  tier he most likely  has everything he could want but time.

    time is everyone's enemy. look at how  fast our time goes by,blink of an eye really.

    your dad, being one myself, and not having  that option, would love to again imo

    spend it one on one, doing anything,doesn't need to cost a dime, memories  created will mean sooooo much more than anything  he or you besides  the pictures  of your  day

    can ever be appreciated  more.you've  got the opportunity  to create a day you both will remember  for years, a tear came to my eyes  writing this for you and although  up til a couple days ago we never met. i wish it had been years ago.you are as thoughtful  a person as anyone could  ever want as friend.

    you know your dad as well  a person could ever know, give it some thought,

    fishing,go for a hike, go to the ocean,sit in the sand, talk, reminisce, laugh cry,

    hug often, it's  free and feels good,but don't  forget to tell him how much you love him.

    god, hope this helps stef, my freaking eyes  can't  see anymore.

    your friend carl

    A rule to live by no matter if the gift is for your father or spouse never give them a gift that is job or work related unless its what they drop hints or ask for . Give them something that they can and will enjoy far from their job .

    If they like the outdoors then try fishing hunting or hiking gear . Sports wear of their favorite sports team . But nothing work related because you want them to enjoy the gift during their time off .  Hope this helps .

    You say hes into sports. Why not buy him a jersey of his favourite team? Bet he would love that. Or tickets to a game?

    "A card or Hand written note" telling him how much you appreciate him! Anything else will be appreciated but won't top that in any way shape or form!

    Welllll, unless of course it's a new boat, or vehicle or some sort, then he probably won't even read the note!

    A card, a big hug, and "Love you, Dad"  will have him grinning like a kid on Xmas Day...

    Works for me.

    Good luck with the gift search.

    Johnny.
