Father's Day Gifts From the Heart

Father's Day often presents a bit of a quandary to the gift giver. How do you truly honor this man...with a tie? aftershave? automotive accessories? These all seem to fall short of symoblizing the true feeling behind paying homage to the man who stands behind his family in ways we often don't even see. Striking a special note with a father can be as simple as keying into his psychology. Here are some ideas based on personality traits:

The Pensive or Poetic father:
Books are always a good bet. Best sellers may hit the right chord, but never forget the classics:






Or the latest in reading technology. The Kindle offers virtually every title on the market at a fraction of the price.











For The Urban Dad who might enjoy a simple bit of green now and then:

A really cool photo available here on Etsy in any size or on canvas. A perfect glimpse of green for the city man:

Or how about a rainbarrel, one of the hottest new trends in greening up your home:



For the Outdoor Adventurer Dad:

A kayak or kayaking trip:

















For the Sentimental Dad:
A selection of frames to feature the images in his heart.
















Remember... the best gifts come from the heart, but they go to the heart as well. So think about what touches his and voila! You'll have the best Father's Day Gift idea of all.
