Questions You Might Ask
How much should you spend on a gift for your dad?
The amount you spend on a gift for Dad depends on your finances, according to Zahn. “If you are on a tight budget, scale back on material items and ramp up your gifting with something more sentimental like a DIY photo album or magnet,” he says.
Remember that “it’s not the price of the gift that matters but the thought and love that went into it,” says Jones.
Is it okay to give your dad a gift card?
According to Zahn, gift cards are a great gift for dads. “One way to spice things up is to break up the amounts and spread it across a few of his favorite spots,” he says. “Maybe get Dad a Dunkin’ card for a few morning coffees and a $10 card to his favorite fast food spot for lunch and close the gift out with a $30 card to Dad’s preferred happy hour spot.”
Gift cards are also great for shoppers who aren’t sure what products Dad wants most. “If you know that Dad loves to shop at Home Depot, for example, and you don’t know the difference between a hammer and a nail, then a gift card is 100% the way to go,” says Jones. Just make sure to “wrap it nicely and add a little note,” she adds, “so Dad will know you put thought and love into it despite it simply being a gift card.”
What are some good experience gifts for Dad?
“A great idea for an experience gift for Dad is DIY gift cards,” suggests Zahn. “Does Dad love cocktails? Gift him a DIY Gift Card redeemable for a Holiday Cocktail Happy Hour where you whip up a few holiday drinks for Dad. Is Dad a big sports fan? Give him a DIY Gift Card for a tailgating kid, and when he wants to redeem it, fill a small basket with small sizes of his favorite snacks and a few beers or sodas.” Gifts like these can be inexpensive but are personal and appreciated by the recipient, notes Zahn.
Jones adds that the best experience gifts are ones that you and Dad can do together, such as a virtual lesson from a sommelier to teach you both about wine. “I love experiential gifts because they leave a lasting memory that cannot be thrown away,” she says.
