Father's Day gifts.....

[DizBelle]

Ok, looking for recommendations for Father's Day gifts to have sent to a long distance away Dad in the $20 - $25 range (not including shipping).

We have several dads to send to so that is why the price range is what it is.

Who has a good idea?

Its a tough question it depends so much on the individuals personality and interests but here is what we have done in the past:

audio books, travel mug, K-cup coffee assortment, gift cards (barnes/noble, starbucks, etc), sporting good equipment (racquetball stuff, fishing gear). Accessories for car, cel phone cover, dvd or cd, book, restaurant gift card

This is difficult w/o knowing what your Dads' interest are.

Honestly, I think w/the economy lots of fokes are getting back to the basics.

Perhaps something for their hobby/collection...

Gifts/CG's that come to mind for long distant Dads' for around that amt:

magazine sub
new tool
oil change
automotive store
hardware store
speciality coffees
gas card
fave breakfast place
hair cut
fave team shirt
yard/gardening supplies
bird house
pocket utility knife
book store
DVD's/CD's

Honestly I think they'll enjoy whatever you decided that's from the heart.

we recently cleared out mil's stuff (passed away) and it was interesting to see the items she and her late husband had hung on to over the years.

largly-photos, personal notes and cards from the kids/grands were biggies as were the things the kids made at those pottery places (coffee cups, plates and such). anything that was personalized with the kid's photos seemed to get held onto forever (photo coffee cups, tote bags, long expired calendars).

for mother's day and father's day i prefer items that are more along the lines of something that celebrates how a person is a great mom/dad/grand...and with the availability and reduced cost of items out there that a photo or a kid's written/handdrawn item can be printed on i think there's a wealth of options.
