Father's Day is June 21st
Especially in these unusual times when many of us will be unable to visit an elderly loved one, we want to make sure our parents or grandparents know how special they are to us. With Father’s Day just around the corner, let dad or grandpa know that while they may be out of sight, they are not out of mind.
So what is a good gift that lets him know he is not forgotten? As you know dad best, ask yourself if he’s a guy who loves practical gifts, tech toys or something on the humorous side? I know many dads may not buy one themselves but would love a plush new bathrobe; so why not personalize it with a monogram? If he is more of a t-shirt kind of guy, order him a personalized shirt. A popular one has handprints with the names of all the grandchildren and a message calling him out as “Hands Down Best Grandpa,” or how about one that says “Great Dads Make Great Grandpas?”
If dad gets chilly and loves to fish, how about getting him a cozy throw decorating with fish bearing the names of his grandkids. Another idea is an indoor gardening kit for the dad who loves to grow things. If granddad is a gamer at heart, how about getting him a lap-sized Nintendo Switch. A recent study showed in addition to fun, 3D-platform games can help improve cognitive health. Don’t forget the gift of music or audio books targeted to his interests, and if he doesn’t already own a set, consider noise cancelling headphones for the ultimate listening experience. If dad still gets around, a step tracking device is a fun way to keep him moving.
