How to choose the best Christmas presents for dad
A love of cheesy jokes and and often-expanding middle are the hallmarks of most (but not all) dads, but they're all different. Avoid getting a clunker of a gift by following these simple rules:
- Avoid the best-dad-sock trap: There's no end of socks, t-shirts and coffee cups that proclaim how your dad is the world's number one. You probably think so, but most dads are probably well over the time when they'll find that cute -- or even particularly useful.
- Think parallel to his interests: It's easy if dad drops a few not-so-subtle hints about what he'd really like, but what do you do if he's keeping quiet? Look at his hobbies, and search around for the kinds of things he'd like but is unlikely to buy himself. You don't have to break the bank doing so either -- a fancy new fishing lure he'd never seen before might delight him just as much as a yacht. OK, maybe not, but you know what we mean.
- Challenge dad: Your dad probably told you that you never stop learning all your life, but this is advice that also applies to dads. Get him a present that challenges his thinking, teaches him a new skill or lets him expand his existing skills.
