Mother’s Day is usually a breeze as my mom is very easy to please. My father on the other hand, completely different story. I mean, what do you get the man who, doesn’t have everything but does not feel like he actually needs anything? To make matters worse, I had his birthday earlier in the month so June is a double whammy!
We may still be in Turkey, but my mind is definitely on what to get my dad for Father’s Day (although, being away does get me a few extra days!)
Father’s Day Ideas by homestilo on polyvore.com
For his desk– an aviation enthusiast (dad used to skydive as a sport!), I am sure he’d love this helicopter that also functions as a paperweight and pen holder (uncommon goods $56)
For his hobbies– dad is also the family mechanic (amazon $17)
For his travels– dad likes to travel and I am sure he would get a kick out of this travel kit which has been upcycled from a tent (uncommon goods $38)
For his enjoyment– dad loves his beer. as a treat, I always bring him back a beer from any country I visit as a souvenir. I hear the Efes beer is the beer to drink in Turkey…
Oh, and little brother, if you’re reading, don’t steal any of my gift ideas!
Love the travel bag Santa. My Dad would love this.
Yes to Efes – what a great idea!
This is tonight’s agenda…searching for a father’s day gift. My dad said, don’t buy me anything… I can’t do that when I always go the extra mile for my mom.
I had to choose between getting my father’s day present and going to a place I really wanted and I chose the responsible thing and now his present is done. You should get extra beers for a souvenir and for Father’s Day. 🙂
Hope you are having a great trip!
I find men, in general, really hard to buy for. My husband just wants surfing or biking gear, which I don’t know much about! My Dad loves books and good wine, and I have also found magazine subscriptions to be popular with the guys. I like your choices though! x
@BravoeRunway: I know exactly what you mean. My mom is so much easier to shop for though *she loves everything
@Jeanine: I don’t know if my weight restrictions will allow it, but a six pack of Efes does sound like a fun idea
@Vic: It sounds like you have definitely narrowed down the gift themes *that’s always a good thing
the travel kit is a great idea!
We always have the same problem with our dads! Great ideas!!
My dad always gets candy or chocolate. He’s got a sweet tooth…He already got his present because they already had fathers day in Germany. That screw holder is such a great idea, I might need that for myself 😉
Hope you are still enjoying your vacation!
