Whether your dad enjoys cooking, sports or working around the house, there are plenty of options to make him smile this Father’s Day. The holiday is meant to show appreciation for all that your dad — or the father figure in your life — has done for you. Be sure to consider the things he loves when choosing a gift, especially if he already has enough coffee mugs and ties.
Customize a Gift Just for Dad
A customized or homemade gift is one of the most personal things you can get Dad this Father’s Day. Customizing a gift based on your dad’s personality is a great way to surprise him with something unique he will keep forever. Depending on his interests, personalized golf clubs, kitchen or grilling gear, or even a T-shirt can bring a smile to his face.
One traditional gift that never disappoints is a watch to fit your dad’s personal style. If your father prefers a more classic look, choose something subtle he can wear every day. If he’s a sporty guy, look for something water resistant, a dive watch or one with a chronograph feature. Or, consider restoring or refinishing a family heirloom to give Dad something extra sentimental. At Miriam’s Jewelry, we offer personalized services for heirloom jewelry that allow you to transform a cherished family piece into a custom gift for Dad.
Consider His Style
Take a look at your father’s personal style when deciding on a gift this Father’s Day. One trend we are currently seeing every day is a nice, sturdy chain. A classic gold or silver chain can be passed down to the next generation and something that could be worn and cherished daily. You can also add a pendant to the chain to customize the look based on his interests. Consider a cross, lucky number, family crest, initial, favorite fish, or a charm that is meaningful to represent the things your dad enjoys. Incorporating these passions into his gift this year will make him feel extra loved.
Another unique option is a pair of cufflinks that your dad can wear on special occasions. There are plenty of variations to choose from based on his taste and preferences. Miriam’s Jewelry also offers alternative metal rings that can reflect Dad’s style and allow him to take his family wherever he goes.
Give Him an Experience You Can Share
Maybe your father already has everything. He’ll always enjoy an experience that allows you to make memories together. Consider giving the gift of a camping trip or tickets to his favorite sporting event or concert.
If your dad appreciates the finer things in life, you could take him for a wine or whisky tasting. Miriam’s Jewelry also offers custom heirloom jewelry experiences, for you to create a new family keepsake together. If you live far away from your dad, consider purchasing him a plane ticket to come and visit the next chance he gets. Time spent together might be the most meaningful gift you could give your dad this Father’s Day.
Make it Personal for a Memorable Father’s Day
No matter what gift you choose to give Dad for Father’s Day, he will cherish your thoughtfulness and the time spent together. Make sure to include a handwritten note that expresses gratitude for all the hard work your dad puts in year-round.
