Father’s Day gift ideas are a lot harder to come up with than Mother’s Day gift ideas. It isn’t because men are hard to buy for. It’s that men don’t care whether they get a gift or not. Men generally say that for the day they want a one day trip from fatherhood. A round of golf with the fellas or a romantic evening with the wife can be appreciated a lot more than another tie, barbecue utensils, cheap gadgets or knick-knacks.

Gift ideas to avoid for Father’s day

The internet has gifts to stay away from all over it. Jessica’s Coupons gets a lot of hits by featuring junk like a basting brush that looks terrible. Then there’s the mini charcoal grill that goes for $50 that looks like a cheap imitation of the one you are able to buy at the hardware store for $30 — except it comes in six colors. Or how about a package of cheap cologne in containers that look like they might just be Cuban cigars for Father’s Day ? Then there’s the cocktail stir sticks shaped like guitars — and last but certainly least, the eco-friendly coffee cup.

Cheap Father’s Day gift ideas

Father’s Day gifts on low budgets can be big this year. If you’re looking for a great no-cost gift, Dad would probably settle for not having to mow the lawn for a week or two. Nonetheless, Savings.com has a bunch of cheap Father’s Day gift ideas. Some of the more dubious cheap Father’s Day gift ideas are homemade. Although they may not cost a dime, think twice about shooting a video of the children telling stories about dad or describing their preferred things about him. This is excruciating for children of all ages. Breakfast in bed is also a questionable Father’s Day gift idea. Don’t let the kids bake a cake or pie either.

Father’s Day getaways

Father’s day getaways are always good. About.com offers several Father’s Day getaway suggestions, but the site is off when it suggests the children have to come along. The last thing you think of when Club Med comes to mind is a family gathering. It seems fine for anything but Father’s Day. Other family Father’s Day getaways consist of golfing spas in Pennsylvania and a Huck Finn festival in Victorville, Cali.

Las Vegas and Father’s Day

You will never go wrong with Father’s Day in Vegas. This gift could be expensive but it is surely one that a father can put in his “gifts he loved” category. The Las Vegas Sun reports on plenty of activities — from barbecue festivals to fights to fishing — to keep him from thinking about the lawn on Father’s Day. The Blues, Brews and BBQ Festival goes on all day at the Cannery Casino and Hotel. Then go ringside at The Ultimate Fighter Finale at The Pearl, featuring the top four finalists from TUF Season 9’s battle between the United States and the United Kingdom. Have a look at the Father’s Day Scotch and Cigar Experience at the Ritz-Carlton. That is a Father’s Day to remember.
