5 fun Father’s Day gift ideas

2. picture perfect A picture says a thousand words. Dad works hard to provide for the family, so give him a loving reminder of all the people who appreciate his efforts! Present him with a framed photo of his children or grandchildren. Dad can display the photo on his desk for a quick pick-me-up during a tough workweek.

Go to the local pet store and have “I love you” carved onto a heart-shaped pet ID tag. Many stores have machines that will let you engrave an additional message. You can also inscribe paper key tags with heartfelt messages to add to the keychain.


4. couch commando Sometimes all Dad wants to do is just kick back and put his feet up. Give him the TV remote along with an ice bucket filled with his favorite drinks, and let him rule the roost for a day.

It will take a little effort, but Dad will be blown away. He can open them all at once, or read one a week right through to the next Father’s Day.
