Best Gifts and Gift Ideas for Father’s Day
He may not be Ironman, Thor, or any other member of The Avengers, but Dad is still a hero to many of us. For all the times that pops has saved your hide it is time to give back, and here are some fresh twists on some classic and not so classic Father’s Day Gift Ideas.
Coffee – it is the source of his power. It provides him the energy he needs to continue saving the world. Forget about the usual “Best Dad” mug, and hit a home run this year by gifting your dad The COFFEEBOXX by OXX. Rust proof, crush proof, and impact resistant, this on-the-go brewer can take a beating in the field and still pour your father the perfect cup of coffee in 90 seconds.
Next, do not buy your dad another tie he is not going to wear (or at least without being ridiculed) again. Before you head down to the department store to rummage through the sale bin looking for a decent affordable tie, check out The Tie Bar. Choose from neckties to bow ties, socks to pocket squares. You can buy a single tie, a box of ties, or even subscribe to a year’s worth of The Tie Bar’s top styles and picks, and keep your father looking good all year round. Whatever your price range, this is a great one-stop-shop.
Okay, now here is the change up. Give your dad a spa day. Being Superdad is not easy, and it can take a pretty good toll on him. Once kids start running, fatherhood becomes a sport. Give him the chance to relax and rejuvenate himself with a day of massage and refreshment. Local award-winning salon, 212 Salon and Day Spa, is running a “King for a Day” special that includes a facial, massage, haircut & style, topped off with a manicure and pedicure. A unique gift that is sure melt away the daily stress of fatherhood.
These gifts will ensure that you do not end up gifting the guy who goes above and beyond for you every day the same old Father’s Day presents. He’s rugged, he’s sophisticated, and he deserves a full day’s rest for all his hard work. He is also unique, so make sure his gift is as well.
What Your Mother Wants for her Mother’s Day
A few days ago, online coupon giant, RetailMeNot, released a comprehensive survey of what gifts mother’s are looking to receive for Mother’s Day. A little hint: it’s not flowers.
While 9 out of 10 consumers will be treating their mom with a special gift this Mother’s Day, their number one purchase will be flowers with “a nice meal” following in close second. But what does mom really want? Well, the votes are in and the results are as follow:
- Moms want to treat themselves: 13% of moms want to hit the spa. Nearly 3 out of 10 mothers believe that Mother’s Day is day for pampering and relaxation.
- Moms want to shop: 27% of mothers told RetailMeNot that they would like a gift card, whether it can be used anywhere, for a favorite shop, or can be redeemed for a specific service.
- Moms want help: Above all, 30% of moms said they wanted someone to clean for them, 20% want someone to take care of the family cooking, and 14% want someone to watch their children.
Notice any flowers on that list? So walk away from the floral shop, and maybe head to your local spa to pick up a gift card for your dear mother. For residents of North Jersey, 212 Salon and Day Spa is running a Mother’s Day Special that can be viewed here (link).
If you are still unsure of what to get mom, here are some more facts to guide you. An overwhelming majority of mothers (58%) rather be gifted something sentimental. Whatever you do decide to get here, if it’s from the heart, then you need not worry if she will like it or not. Even if she didn’t, she’d never let you know. About 54% of mothers have never returned a gift, and 75% have never tossed an unwanted gift away.
