Savings expert Howard Schaffer noted that as a dad himself, he would rather receive sentimental gifts. They are the ones he could hold onto longer and bring him the most joy.
Here are some sentimental things that dads want for Father's Day aside from a handwritten card.
A well-deserved day-off
Dads work their asses off during workdays and sometimes even on Sundays. What they need is a day-off, especially on this holiday dedicated to them. On Father's Day, make him feel more special by giving him service deluxe. Why not prepare a special breakfast-in-bed for him on his special day? Or you could fix that home appliance got broken a week ago.
Spa-day
Spend the day at the spa with your dad. Or you could do it at home. There are many do-it-yourself spa kits that you could buy in the market. Massage his tired muscles to make him feel relaxed.
Have a movie marathon
Spend the day with your dad by watching his favorite movies. Ready popcorn or your father's favorite snack and drinks to enjoy during the movie marathon.
Catch up with your dad
Without all the gadgets and technology, gather the family with your dad, and have a chit-chat with him. Talk about anything and everything under the sun. Share stories you have never talked about before. Listen to his advice about life. Ask him also about his life because you do not have the chance to do it every day. You do not know, but he might need your ears to listen to his stories.
Tell him that you love him
Dads love their children to bits. However, there are times when they fail to tell them because they are not the sentimental type, just like mothers. Children, on the other hand, sometimes feel awkward to say how much they love their dads. On his day, remind your father how much you appreciate him by telling him that you love him. He will surely love to hear those three words.
Call him
Parents love hearing from their grown-up children. Sometimes children are too busy to give their parents a call. On this particular day, give your dad a call. By just hearing your voice, your dad would surely be glad that you gave them a ring.
