An outdoor bench is inexpensive and is also a great way for your dad to relax after a whole day of gardening. But just for kicks, let’s take a look at some of the best outdoor bench designs made. If you know a good deal of carpentry, then you just might be able to surprise your dad. Of course, if you’re not too confident with your handyman skills, then you’ll have to contact someone who builds custom-made outdoor bench. Yes, you do have to pay extra, but don’t you think your dad’s happiness is more important than just a few bucks?

Portable Rolling Outdoor Bench

Images sent by author

This is the kind of bench that I want; made from wood and cheap materials and, not to mention, portable! When choosing a different location, just grab and push the outdoor bench just like a wheelbarrow. This is especially handy when visiting the beach for an extra outdoor bench. The design is quite simpl; just build a basic outdoor bench but place a wheel underneath. The wheel should be installed just like a wheelbarrow. Don’t forget to place two handles so you can just push and pull the outdoor bench when you need to place it in a different place.

Plastic Aluminum and Bamboo Bench

If you don’t like using a hammer, a saw, some wood and nails for your outdoor bench, then why not use this very simple but relaxing design? In Asia, the bamboo is a versatile type of wood that does not break easily when sat on for many times. Rather, it bends whenever something heavy is placed on bamboo. For this design, you just need a basic pair of aluminum frames that are threaded with dozens of freshly-cut bamboo stalks. In short, more bamboo stalks means that the bench becomes sturdier when sat on.

This is a really good bench design for people who are concerned with buying expensive wood.

Convertible Wooden Bench-To-Chair

Some call it the folding outdoor bench, but I’d say it’s a convertible outdoor bench. The design’s simple enough, but if you’re not too comfortable when it comes to the building phase, then you might want to get a professional carpenter to build the design for you. As the name suggests, it’s an outdoor bench at first, but if you want to get more comfortable while sitting down, simply fold and your outdoor bench transforms into a comfy chair.

I’m sure that there are still a lot of outdoor bench designs in the Internet, so just take your pick and choose the one that suits you the best. Make this year’s Father’s Day memorable for your dear father!

I stumble upon Father’s Day Gifts to USA site and like always I’ve chosen 3 cool gifts to share with you.

#1. Fathers Day Beer Party

Almost all men love beer and this is why this gift will be so loved. Your dad will surely appreciate it.

The gift includes:

• a Samuel Adams seasonal beer that changes all year with the season
• a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale which is by far America’s most popular Pale Ale
• a bottle Abita Purple Haze – a wheat beer from New Orleans that is a must.

In my opinion this is the perfect gift for the beer lover.

#2. Snack Attack Gift Basket

Snacks became more and more popular in the last years. If he’s a snacker our father will appreciate this tasty gift.

This Father Day present include :award-winning Key Lime White Chocolate Cookies, Butter Rich Cookies or Peanut, Creamy nougat covered in caramel and premium peanuts.

#3. The Fruit Experience

The healthy eating trend is constantly attracting followers and if your father is one of them he will enjoy a fresh, carefully selected fruits gift basket.

Also if you are looking for corporate gifts check out the Corporate Gift Baskets page because you can choose from hundreds of presents for customers, employees and business partners.

A bottle

Treat your father with a fancy bottle of scotch, or set him up with a wine-tasting session if that’s more his cup of tea. Father’s Day is a holiday for showing how much you appreciate your dad and all he has done for you, and one way to do that is to facilitate a relaxing time for him. Often some good wine or whisky is all a father wants after a long day or when with friends.

Tech toys

Most boys love toys, and it’s something they never grow out of – the interest just ‘matures’ along with them. Holidays such as Father’s Day present the perfect opportunity to get your dad something you know he wants and would love, but perhaps cannot justify buying for himself. Treat him to an iPad, a new phone, or whatever the latest tech toy is that you have seen him eyeing and playing with in the electronics store.

Days out

The most memorable gifts, more often than not, are the gifts that are not material objects, but rather activities or events. Really surprise your dad by picking out a present for him that’s adventurous and probably unlike anything he does normally. Adventure days out are adrenaline-pumping activities that you can do with your dad. Ideas include a track day in a favourite sports car, bungee jumping, jet skiing, and paragliding. Now those are definitely not gifts that will collect dust or go unused!

The post 3 Unique Gift Ideas For Dad appeared first on Gift Ideas Blog.

The office is a place for practical and utilitarian things, and with this, corporate gifts are often assumed to be items of a useful nature. Don’t get me wrong, practical gifts are awesome, but why not give your employees a unique father’s day gift this year for a change? All work and no play makes a very dull (and even dissatisfied) employee, so maybe you should appeal to their inner child by giving them gift baskets with a twist: a chocolate-filled classic toy vehicle!

Deliver the sweet loot to your staff through exquisitely crafted wooden toy trucks! These hand-painted classic toys have a sort of whimsy and timelessness that your employees would surely love. The toys come with an assortment of Maple Ridge Farms gourmet chocolates. Take your pick from a great selection of designs, from a 1911 pick-up truck or a 1913 vintage ambulance, both of which come with chocolate almonds and extra fancy jumbo cashews, to a 1939 armored car that carries chocolate almonds and chocolate gourmet mints!

Take a break from the humdrum of the 9 to 5 life and indulge your employees and business partners in this one-of-a-kind gift idea from PromosLogos, an established supplier of business promotional products. The trucks could also be custom imprinted with a design of your choice.

This is a great opportunity to bring your dad up to date with a fancy new shirt or a couple of different casual shirts such as the one below.

Obviously every family is different and a new shirt just might not be quite enough. If this is the case, then maybe you could consider splashing out a bit extra and getting him a fancy new suit. You could probably stealthily check out your dad’s suits in his wardrobe and see if he is in need of a new one (I know mine is.) It’s not always easy with a suit as you may not know the correct size to get him but you can more often than not buy a gift card at a suit tailors. A fresh looking suit such as the one shown below might just be the perfect Father’s Day present.

This article was written by Ricky May on behalf of Savile Row Co. specializing in a fantastic selection of mens suits.

So what about golf? My dad likes his golf, he’s not a fanatic by any stretch, but he does like to play. So I thought this year I might actually buy him a golf club. Apparently putters a reasonably priced, so I figured one of those would go down well.

A putter is the most important piece of equipment any golfer owns, as it is the club that is used most often in a round of golf. So any golfer you know is sure to be delighted with a shiny new putter.

Of course, as a complete novice, when you walk into a golf retail store, you’ll find a confusing array of putter choices, and it can be a somewhat daunting quest to figure out which type would be best for whoever you are buying for.

The best way you can figure out what sort of a putter to buy is to pinch your dad’s old one whilst he’s not looking. Take it into a pro shop if you can and see if you can speak to a golf pro. He will be able to tell you things about the putter, such as the loft, length, weight and lots of other things that probably won’t mean a lot to you.

Have a think about whether you think your dad has improved his game lately, if he is new to the sport then it might be time to move up a level. If he has been playing a while then you might want to get a new putter which is pretty similar to the old one. Again, a pro will be able to advise you.

Buying a golf club for someone else is tricky, and it’s pretty understandable why you would not want to; but if your father is a keen golfer then he is sure to appreciate the thought, and the one thing I am sure of is that no golfer is ever unhappy to receive a brand new club!

Alternatively of course, you could just give him some money toward his next golfing holiday! See if you can find somewhere where he can play golf all day whilst the rest of the family go and enjoy the sun.

The post Buying a Golf Putter As A Gift appeared first on Gift Ideas Blog.

My dad, like most dads, is notoriously difficult to shop for. I rue the existence of both Christmas and Father’s Day for this exact reason. I have tried ties and golf shirts and cashmere socks, books on the Egyptian pharaohs, blown glass bulbs to feed water into his many withering plants. I have tried homemade cards and pancakes whipped up from scratch, and dinners on the town (he always beats me to the check).

Without fail, I receive an, “Oh, sweetie, thank you,” and a kiss on the cheek. I think he wears the socks; the cleaning lady refills the glass water-feeders.

I repeat: Why is this so hard?

Because I’ve been coming at this from the wrong angle. Like you, I’ve been hoping year after year like an insane person that I will eventually stumble across the Magical Gift He Actually Loves, perhaps in the clearance bin in the back of an obscure boutique.

I am insane for two reasons. One, it is impossible to stumble across any such gift, particularly in a boutique, particularly because of reason two. Two, my dad doesn’t want any thing.

What might my dad want?

An afternoon at the race track! Scratch that – ON the race track. Strapped into a Sprint Cup-style race car, zipping laps while an instructor radios in on a headset.

A glass of vintage merlot aboard a yacht! Make that a wine tasting sail aboard an 82-foot vintage sailboat, with any number of recommended wines for his perusal while the cityscape slips along starboard.

Flying lessons No, Fighter Pilot Lessons!. A Top Gun-style tutorial of the skies, learning to dogfight from ex-military pros.

And he can have them. These are experience gifts, perfect gift ideas for men who eschew more things in their life and crave more memories, more experiences, more joy. Also known as experiential gifts or adventure gifts, they are memories-in-the-making, boxed up with ribbon and waiting to change somebody’s life. They come in over 1700 varieties, in forty-two cities across the U.S. And they will change your life, too, gift-giver.

This is not so hard, not anymore.

On Father’s Day Make the First Man in Your Life Feel Important by Denis tyler

If a child is asked whether Superman really exists the answer would be a resounding yes. After all, he has no reason to believe that his father is not Superman himself. Our father is the one who taught us to ride a bike, took us fishing, got us ice cream to wipe away our tears and always cheered our performance even if we had fallen flat on our face during a dance recital. Our childhood is often filled with such fond memories of our father that in our eyes he is always our hero. The world celebrates the third Sunday in the month of June as Father’s Day, the day which we have especially chosen to express our heartfelt gratitude and love to the one man who means the world to us.

Just one day is not enough to show how much your father really means to you as it should be a round the year gesture. However Father’s Day can really make your dad feel special if you have taken out some time and put in a little extra effort to do something special for him. It could a heart warming gesture of serving him burnt toast for breakfast in bed inspite of running really late for school or buying him a tie from your hard earned pocket money. As we grow older and become financially independent the options increase as to how we can make Father’s Day special for our dad. But a father will always treasure every gift of love that is showered on him irrespective of its monetary value.

Today, celebrating Father’s Dayâ is a concept that has become very popular all over the world and many greeting card and gift companies have come up with unique ideas that can be the ideal gift for your father. Even for children who are away from home on this occasion can find innovative means to make their father feel really special. We have the internet to thank for making communication across distance so convenient. Now only the click of a mouse can connect you a host of websites that offer various options that are Father’s Day special. The choice spreads across Father’s Day online cards, customized gift items, flowers that can be delivered right to his doorstep for an early morning surprise or even a dinner date booked for your father and mother at one of the swankiest restaurants in town. The options are as creative as you want them to be for your father.

The arrival of the third weekend in June sees children exchange furtive glances across the dining table and sharing secret smiles with their mothers who are allowed into the conspiracy. Dads can guess it’s a Father’s Day special secret being planned but will pretend ignorance anyway. As Father’s Day approaches this year, children all over the world are busy inventing creative ideas to celebrate this day. So its time you brought out your thinking cap and planned an innovative way to celebrate Father’s Day.

See the Father Day gifts

Tool boxes

Men love to do something with they hands and they are always doing something and redecorating the garage and fixing stuff. So a toll box will be welcome. New tool box models appear every year so for your father it will be an upgrade.

A good tool box should contain a complete assortment of tools for home and auto repair and maintenance. The box should be made from heavy-duty metal to last longer. Be careful about the warranty because some companies offer lifetime warranty for thei too sets.

Favorite artist/band CDs

If your father enjoys music he must have a favorite artist or band. So the gift idea is to get him a CD with
the latest songs. If he likes old music and the artist (band) didn’t launched and new CD’s look for a best of CD.

This father day gift will definitely be appreciated.

Grills

Grills range in price and model. Tabletop grills are great for apartment owners, or those with limited outdoor space. You can find a good grill for under $30. But if your budget allows it you may want to get your dad a deluxe Kenmore stainless steel model with dual fuel capabilities with five attached burners – enough to prepare and cook your entire meal outside. You may also get grilling tools (grill forks, cleaning brushes and spatulas, cooking racks) to complete the set.

Sports gear

Get a customized jersey. Online there are available jerseys that can have his name put on. Autographed items would certainly impress your dad.

Another Father Day gift idea is to get tickets for his favorite team’s games.

If he likes fishing you can get him fishing gear or boating equipment.

Lighter gift sets

If your father is a smoker he will certainly appreciate a new, good looking lighter set. There are thousands of lighter sets models available to choose from. A set is usually formed by a chrome cigar lighter, an ashtray and a cigar cutter. If your budget allows it you can get a cigar lighter made from gold or silver.

Camping gear

If your father enjoys trips you may want to take a look to camping equipment. You may want to offer him a camping chair, a new tent, a new comfortable sleeping bag, a road trip grill, a quality lantern or a mini
radio.

Personalized mugs

Personalized coffee mugs with your digital photos and art works can be a great gift for your dad. Online shops let you customize and decorate your personalized coffee mugs online and in real time before purchasing.
