Creative Gift Ideas for the Grads and Dads in your Life
Posted by Susan Natale on 8th May 2015
June is a month filled with special occasions. The warm weather arrives and summer vacations are planned, which means the budgets are thin. But wait, there’s Father’s Day. What if your child is graduating high school or college? We have to show our love and appreciation. To the dad’s for all they do, and the grad’s for all they accomplished.
Let’s think outside the box for a minute. We usually get dad similar gifts each year. With thin budgets, let’s take a look at small practical gifts that offer huge meaning. It’s not about the size of the gift, but the quality. Something that shows we care. Something that shows we’re proud to have them in our lives. Both dads and grads.
What kind of creative gifts can you get for Father’s Day?
If you ask your dad what he wants for Father’s Day, he’ll say “nothing.” It happens every year. We think of useful items like a necktie or tasty items like a fine cigar. But this year, let’s delve into our creativity.
You can be humorous with a book of lewd and shrewd jokes. Or if your dad’s a handyman that loves duct tape, we have a book that provides helpful tips “When Duct Tape Just Isn’t Enough.” Is your dad getting old? A “You’re never too old to…” book is the perfect book with inspiring adventures you could do daily. It’s not about the size of the gift, it’s about the thought you put into it.
You can be fun with a slew of games. Try a mini jigsaw puzzle so your dad can create an image of his favorite things. A nice corvette, some scenic air balloons, a trip to Times Square, and more! For the dads that love airplanes, a nanoblock Air Force One is a popular item around Father’s Day, as well as some mini construction kits. You can find a number of fun items that appeal to all personalities right here at Little Obsessed!
For the wordsmith, a Magnetic Poetry Kit is always a big hit. Our food lover kit brings out your creativity and sometimes corny jokes about food. Plus, we take it a step further with our beer word magnets. Have your dad come up with a rhyme about his favorite IPA, lager, or stout. It’s a great way to make dinner entertaining.
How can your gift be creative for the graduates?
Turning the page in life is always exciting and nerve-wracking. A nice book about life tips and travel destinations can be useful when they plan their next trip.
For those heading to college, money is always at the top of their minds. They will need as much money as they can get, but you can provide them with some practice for the entertainment of college. How about our beer pong kit? Prepare for the college parties with a miniature set of beer pong! Or more practical, our fire escape shelf is perfect for those small spaces and definitely functional art!
For those grads entering the workforce, help decorate their desk with table games and displays. This is an affordable way to show you’re proud they are starting a new chapter, and a useful item that won’t break the bank. The best thing is that these desktop games are perfect for dads too! Keep their interests in mind, and whether it’s golf, ping pong, basketball, horseshoes, or croquet, they can display or play the games during downtime at work!
Kitchen items are abundant at Little Obsessed also great for both grads & dads. Basic cookbooks, fun bar accessories and loads of little utensils & cookware perfect for small spaces!
