Father's Day Gift Ideas

Looking for Father's Day gifts beyond ties and key chains? Here are some gift ideas he cannot find in a store, they can only come from you. Some are a snap to do, a few of the father's day gifts take thought and a little planning. Your dad's worth it.

A digital picture frame - Ok, he may find this in a store, but what makes it a unique father's day gift is not the frame but the photos you put in it. Put photos of his grandchildren, his fishing trips, thanksgiving, even the simple digital frames can store hundreds of photos, so surround him with hundreds of memories.

A Father's Day Photobook - It's very easy to produce a bound hard-cover photobook these days. Here's a tip, before you even start creating your photo book, gather all your photos into one folder. Many photobook software such as Picabooor shutterflyhas auto-create feature, if your photos are all in one place already, you can simply select the folder and the software automatically inserts your photos into the pages in the design style of your choice.

I Love You, Dad, Sketchcast - Dad far away? Say it with sketchcast. I wrote a post earlier on creating a Valentine's Day sketchcast, it's the same idea. Get cute, get clever, put a smile on Dad's face on Father's Day.

Father's Day Cookbook - At www.tastebook.com, you can put together a cookbook of his favorite cooking style. What's different about tastebook is that you can add your own recipes, or select from thousands of recipes from their partner sites, choose your own title, and even add your own photos on the recipe pages. He'll never have an excuse again for feeding the kids nachos when mom's away.

Create a Slideshow of shared good times - It's so easy to create a slideshow with your digital photos. Photos of his grandchildren, vacations together, thanksgiving, slide.com will turn them into a jazzy slideshow in minutes.

Write a letter - Want to see a grown man cry? Have your children write letters to dad. Is it their wobbly handwriting, is it their simple choice of words, is it their innocent view of the world, but a kid's letter of appreciation, of a memory of an ice cream sundae trip, of a camping trip with dad - touches a father's heart like nothing else.

Transfer his old films or videos to DVD - Film and VHS tapes degrade over time because they are made of magnetic media. Converting VHS to DVD stops the degradation and preserves your movies in a digital format. Furthermore, many of us don't even own the film or VHS players anymore. Transfer his film and video into DVD that Dad can simply pop into a video player and relive the memories. The service I recommend to our readers is www.homemoviedepot.com.
