I have always had problems getting gifts for my dad and husband every father's day. Although my dad passed away two years ago, I never knew what to get him. Just when you think you've finally gotten that present that you're sure he'll love, it doesn't work. So, what I found for both my dad and my husband was to just let them pick out their gift. My father over the years, decided to increase his budget which was funny since we were paying for it. But, of course we never complained because he was the best dad in the world to me and my sister.
One bit of bad news on this...my husband thinks that this is the day to pick out that expensive gift he's always wanted. He wants speakers, surround sound. Hope I'm spelling that right. Of course he wants the bose system around $1,200. So what do you do in that case? Well, I'm still wondering what I should do because my husband really does do a lot for our family. I think I'm going to buy him something that I'm hoping he'll like but let him decide if he really wants those speakers. I have to say, getting gifts is really tough. My husband does not really have a "hobby" which makes it harder.
Some small tips...for starters, a great card works wonders. He loves cards from our kids that have big pictures and I love you written all over it. Lunch or dinner at his favorite place works great too. And, in my case just letting him pick what he wants to do on HIS day works great. I don't really have to make any decisions at all. Does anyone have any good suggestions besides a shirt?
