Guys love electronics, I am getting my dad a high def. large TV, he will love it. Last year I got him a laptop. It is good to keep our dads in the digital age.

Answer 2

Here's something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:

Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!

The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.

Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.

Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.

This is a really beautiful poem too!

The things you taught me I will always know.
How could I not? The roots have sunk so deep:
All lessons of the heart that I will keep
No matter who I am or where I go.
Kids learn from what their parents are, and so
You are my book of life, the thoughts I reap;
From you I learned the rules of right and wrong
Against which I at times had to rebel,
Though with regret I carry with me still.
How lucky I am to have been loved so well,
Even as I pushed against your will,
Relying on a father fair and strong.

Answer 4

Does your father have a grill?? If he doesn't, get him one, and make him a steak dinner. If he has one, still buy all the supplies, invite the whole family, and make dinner for him. Take pictures of everyone with him, candid shots. Take them to the one hour photo, put them in an alblum. Not only have you created a wonderful day for dad, but he has memories that he can look back on. My father passed away 9 years ago, and I can not tell you how many times I wish I had taken more pictures of him.

Answer 5

Here are some suggestions:

- a watch
- a basketball
- some ties
- any type of electronics
- any type of nice clothing (best place i can think of is moores)
- any school art for father's day (if you go to school and made some art for father's day
- take any of these gifts and add a lovely card
-last thing add a kiss a hug or both
Hope this helps

Answer 6

Pez... I was plagued by this for years myself -and there is an easy answer. Follow along:

What your daddy really wants is what ALL of us want. To be loved, to be happy. So you tell him , you march right up to him and tell him, that you are happy and feel blessed to be his daughter. Right to his face. His deepest wish is for your happiness and success -it really, really is. Not just for you, but for him -so he has some reassurance he's doing OK. Tell him, even that you went on Yahoo looking for help, and that another daddy answered you and told you to do this.

OK, but you still need a "thing," right? Of course right! Give him something to eat that you made. Bake him a cake, make fudge, his favorite salad or whatever. Does he play golf? Then make a meat loaf and put golf balls inside it! Wacky stuff, funny stuff! Whatver it is, make it something he'll use up, and everyone uses up food. What else does he use up? Look around -you'll see.

Here's a story. My stepmother, whom I dearly love, is a wealthy heiress who really doesn't need anything. What did I give her for Christmas? I took seeds from a plant in my own garden, put them in a medicine bottle and attached "dosing instructions" on how to plant them. I made some scratch English muffins, packed the whole thing up and sent it off to her. I have also written her poetry.

You do the same kind of thing.

Now -get crackin'!

And let me know how it all comes out.

Answer 7

My Dad is the same way. He's got most everything he needs but I know this for a fact. If you spent some quality time with him doing something he enjoys, it would make him happy.

Answer 8

A gift Certif. to a large Department Store

Answer 9

Give him a big hug and tell him thank you for everything he's done for you. If he's like me, I don't need anything and if I want it I'll buy it. I'd rather have time with my kids than anything else.

Answer 10

the best gift in the world is your love,and if you want to give him more fix him a special dinner or take him out to eat and spend some quality time him.
