Everyone wants to buy their father something special for Father's Day. For a gift your father will cherish forever, consider buying a painting. This make unique gifts. It is important to choose a painting which is meaningful to the recipient. An oil painting is always excellent value and the choice of subjects is huge.

A portrait of someone he admires would be a good choice. Perhaps he has a childhood hero, someone who inspired him during his younger days or a historical figure who he has always thought highly of. For many Americans, a portrait oil painting of George Washington would be cherished. Imagine your father's surprise and pleasure when he opens his gift to find his hero's portrait in a beautiful frame.

Memorabilia commemorating George Washington comes in a wide variety of articles. Bumper stickers, mouse mats, mugs, postcards, coasters and tee shirts all commemorate the great man and the work that he did. A biography would also be well received. Choose a book with a difference, perhaps one which compares the influence which several different presidents had over the country. Other options are tickets for a museum which displays memorabilia from the era. If possible, offer to take your father there to save him the hassle of parking and travelling.

Have a few ideas in mind before you start shopping for Fathers' Day gifts. A person's pastimes and hobbies will suggest several gift ideas. Personalized gifts are always good. Having a name or initials inscribed is sometimes included in the price of the item. Suitable gifts might include sports bags, rackets or bat covers or desk sets.

Fathers love gift vouchers. These enable him to buy precisely what he wants. For some gifts, the recipient would prefer the chance to compare items and make his own decision. Power tools are a good example. Part of the pleasure will be comparing the various models and their attachments. He will be able to add to the amount if he needs to. This will allow him to buy exactly what he wants.

An unusual gift for a father who likes to barbecue is a meat branding iron. He will then be able to sear his initials into every bit of steak he cooks. Add a customized apron with one of his witty sayings and a bottle or two of marinade and he'll be pleased as punch.

A personalized glass and a few mixed international beers will please those who enjoy their beer. Make time to share it with him. He will get pleasure from discussing the different tastes of the beers. Perhaps a sibling can buy a tasting plate of savouries. An added bonus would be to stay and enjoy the time together.

Another useful idea is to shout your father to a short workshop on a subject of his choice. Becoming more familiar with computers may make the days pass more quickly for him. Tai chi or bird-watching will get him out and about a little while others might enjoy a cooking or photography class. With a little thought, Father's Days gifts can be very special.
