Dad Christmas Gift Ideas (2)

Paintball
Does he like to have fun with you kids? Do you think he would like to go to a paintball arena for fun? Then you can get gift certificates for this indoor or outdoor fun, then get one for yourself too, and go along for the fun.
Go Carts
There are more and more indoor and outdoor go cart tracks, that can be fun for Dad. You can quite often get family passes, so that this would really be a family gift but is still one of those great Dad Christmas gift ideas that would not go to waste. If you go to an indoor cart track, then you can go in January, after the holidays and have a blast. This type of gift would be remembered, and would be a lot of fun.
Games
Another great Dad Christmas gift idea, is games. If he likes Suduko, or crossword puzzles, then you can get subscriptions to these, or books off the shelf that will keep him busy for a long time. Or if he likes gadgets, you can find these online too. Find out What's New at ThinkGeek!
Photo with You
A treasured Dad Christmas gift idea, is a great photograph that maybe you have with your Dad, that you can enlarge and put in a really nice frame. This is something they may really like, and is a great gift if you are on a tight budget. A picture is worth a 1000 words, and if it was a special time with you and your dad, then it makes it the best present ever.
Restaurant Certificate
If you know his favorite restaurant, then you can get a gift certificate for there, and you could tell him it is for both of you! That way you can take Dad to dinner or lunch, as a great gift. This is good for the Dad that is hard to buy for. They would love to spend some time with you, and everyone has to eat right? So, why not make it a date, and give him the certificate either one that was purchased right from the restaurant with a dollar value on it. Or you can make up your own gift certificate, stating you will take him for dinner and pay for it.
Gift Certificates - Homemade
If you just can't come up with any Dad Christmas gift ideas, then you can always create your own gift certificate, to maybe do something for him, or take him out, or help around the house. You could offer to clean the garage, or take him to the movies, or something fun or helpful. Then on the day, make sure you get him to think about it, and come up with a date, so that this gift feels real.
Sometimes Dad's can be very easy to buy for as they are involved in so many things or they can be hard to buy for, since they have everything. Hopefully the list above will give you some great ideas for Christmas gifts. Try and get creative this year. Consider your budget of course, but don't leave it until the last minute and then be stuck with that "token tie" again. Dad Christmas gifts don't have to be a material in your hand package as you can see by the above list.
