The Best Father’s Day Gifts this 2016

Fathers (and father figures) deserve only the best on their special day – make sure that you get them something that they will treasure this year.
Here are a few gift suggestions that will definitely bring a smile to their faces:

For the Outdoor Type of Dad

For dads that see the appeal of the wilderness, equip them with some of the best camping gear available in the market. From simple hammocks to give them comfortable outdoor sleep to heavy duty cameras (or a GoPro) to document their trips, what matters for this type of dad is that he has a reliable set of gear to make use in the wild. Another suggestion is getting him a bike, which should not only help him explore the outdoors but be good for his health as well. Plus points for making his outdoor dreams happen, by getting him passes to mountain or camping tours.

For the Tech-Savvy Dad

Fathers with a keen interest in the latest trends of the tech world deserve not only cool gadgets but functional and practical ones as well. Aside from updating his smartphone, consider getting him wearable tech like Fitbit and health or fitness trackers like Under Armor smart sneakers to help them monitor their movement. Additionally, you may also want to give him a subscription to online learning courses – whether for coding or software use, education through tech is a memorable gift he’ll be sure to treasure.

For the Fashionable Dad

Dads with that impeccable taste in fashion deserve the best threads and accessories. A watch isn’t just a great gift – it can also be treated as an investment for fathers to take care of. A new pair of dress shoes may also help accentuate any man’s formal look. And of course, for the guy who wears the pants in the house, a new pair of jeans or khaki pants will help him look good for the part.

For the D.I.Y. Dad

Fathers who want to get their hands dirty and just can stop tinkering and fixing stuff around (and out) the house may be pleased with a new set of tools for them to work out with. Aside from typical toolboxes, amplify his love for home improvement by giving him safety gear and materials (for example, if he’s into arts and crafts, get him wood, paper, and other material he may need) for him to work and have fun on.

For the “For the Love of the Game” Dad

Make the ultimate sports fan feel the heat of the game by getting him his favorite sports’ team’s merchandise. A basketball fanatic may want his favorite player’s jersey, a golfer may want a new set of clubs, a baseball fan may want to have dibs on a rare card. For more joy, tickets to games may just do the trick.

For the Lord of the Kitchen Dad

Dads who whip up the best gastronomic creations in a household (or those who just love to eat) can get their hands on amazing stuff this year. For coffee connoisseurs, a mug (well, not unless it’s the largest coffee cup in the world) won’t just do – give them the essentials like an espresso maker or bean grinders for that wonderful coffee high. For chefs, a new set of kitchen knives and a set of spices may have them spending more delightful times in the kitchen. Beer drinkers can enjoy a whole new experience, when you let them try craft beer for a change.

Because You Care

Regardless of which type of dad (or father figure) you have, perhaps the best gift to give him this upcoming Father’s Day is time – and planning for more opportunities for him to spend with you and your other loved ones. Aside from doing the tips mentioned above, simply spending time with them doing their favorite hobbies (whether these may be hiking, cooking, learning new gadgets, sports, etc.) will give both you and your father memories to treasure for life.

In terms of planning more time and opportunities to be with each other, consider giving insurance for the best guy in your life. Car insurance may just be the thing for a father that treasures his car, a life insurance would be something better to show that you truly care and want to cover for anything that may happen to him.

Financial planning will also help, to allow your dad flexibility and freedom to pursue what he wants in his life. Also, planning for his retirement together can give you both an idea on how you and your family’s ideal future should be. Insurance for long term care (LTC) is a valuable gift for this plan, since this basically shows that you have his back and that you’d want to give him the peace of mind that he’ll receive the proper benefits and care should something happen. LTC insurance companies can help you and your father plan for this – best of all, the earlier you do this, the cheaper it’ll be for your father’s premiums.
