Fun unique Father’s Day gift ideas for dad

Father’s Day 2012 takes place on Sunday, June 17. This day, fathers throughout the United States will enjoy their day with their families as they are appreciated for all the things they do for those they love.

When Father’s Day comes around, many scramble to find a unique gift, or fun gift for dad, one that he will enjoy and remember! Here are a few ideas for dad this year on his special day:

Is your father an avid reader? eReaders such as the Barnes and Noble Nook or the Amazon Kindle are great gadgets for the dad that enjoys reading his novels on the go this Father’s Day.

Whether he traveling for work or winding down in the evening at the local Starbucks, an eRreader will help your father keep his books together, neat, in a convenient gadget he can take where he likes.

If dad is the ‘touristy’ dad, maybe getting him memberships to the local zoos, gardens, or museums is the way to go.

The perks of these memberships is that they offer their members special visiting times into their venues. Whether is a new exhibit or the latest animal babies on their way, VIP memberships for your father are fun unique gifts dad will take advantage the whole year through.

Maybe dad would like a gift card to Target or Walmart to restock their skincare regimen this Father’s Day!

Yes, you read correctly. More and more men are taking care of their skin – it’s a serious thing. With a rise in skin cancer over the years, dads are being more cautious about how they take care of their body!

Does your father like to be outdoors? Invite him to spend the day with you at one of the local state parks. Miami alone has a few you can check out whenever you like, why not take advantage of this natural beauty with dad on Father’s Day 2012?

Two examples of parks right here in Miami are Bill Baggs Cape Florida and Oleta River State Park – both locations offer a variety of activities you can enjoy that range in levels of physical activity.

Father’s Day Poems

What Makes a Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle’s flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it … Dad

A Little Girl Needs Daddy
A little girl needs Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding her high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells her all is right
When she awakens frantic with
The terrors of the night.

Like being the great mountain
That rises in her heart
And shows her how she might get home
When all else falls apart.

Like giving her the love
That is her sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
She’ll always find him there.
Author Unknown

A Father Is:
There in every memory
See his love and care
Strength and hands to count on
Freely he does share
Provider, toil so faithfully
To make our dreams come true
Give strong and tender discipline
Though it is hard to do
A Father is God’s chosen one
To lead the family
And point it to His will for life
Of love and harmony…
Sue Skeen

Father’s Day Quotes

A man’s children and his garden both reflect the amount of weeding done during the growing season.
Unknown

They didn’t believe their father had ever been young;
surely even in the cradle he had been a very,
very small man in a gray suit,
with a dark little mustache and flat, incurious eyes.
Richard Shattuck

A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again.
Enid Bagnold

If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right.
Bill Cosby
