Father’s Day can be a particular tricky holiday for those looking for the perfect gift for dad. You might find that the tie you bought him last year is still sitting in his closet or that golf shirt has yet to make its debut in the clubhouse.
Since there are many dads out there who seem to have everything they need, it can be difficult to find something that he’ll put to good use. Father’s Day gifts that aren’t just limited to the occasion can help solve that problem. By buying something useful that your father can keep enjoying throughout the year, you’ll remind him of your appreciation time and again, not just on Father’s Day.
Here are a few gift ideas that go beyond just Father’s Day:
* Steaks year round. A box of steaks is never a bad idea for a Father’s Day gift, but enrolling your dad in a steak of the month club like those offered by Omaha Steaks will leave him salivating year round. Clubs like this offer meat lovers a year’s worth of different options, from several cuts of premium beef to smoked turkey breast and lobster tails – any carnivore’s dream.
* Beer or wine club. A perfect complement to a steak of the month club membership, a beer- or wine-of-the-month club subscription could be paired with each meat in a monthly feast. If your dad’s a wine connoisseur, allow him to tour the world’s vineyards through monthly deliveries. If he’s a self-proclaimed beer snob, a monthly shipment of microbrews will surely please his palate.
* Movie madness. If your dad’s a film buff, consider buying him a punch card to the local cinema. If he likes to enjoy his flicks within the comfort of his own home, consider a year’s subscription to a movie delivery service like Netflix. With such services offering even more titles streamed instantly online, an HDMI cable that connects his computer with his big-screen TV could make the perfect gift for dad.
* For the sports nut. Father’s Day gift options for superfan dads abound. Pick up a ticket package for the local ballclub or buy him a subscription to the television sports package of his choosing so he can keep close tabs on favorite team.
* The gift of music. If your dad likes to rock, a satellite radio subscription will keep the tunes coming all year. If you know his tastes well, you could also decide to buy him a new album each month, giving him the proper time to enjoy each one.
Father’s Day gifts that continue through the whole year are sure to be successful with your dad, as they offer variety and offer regular reminders of your admiration. And if he absolutely loves what he’s received, he’ll have no problem with you giving him the same thing next year.
