Father's Day lands on Sunday, June 18th of 2017. If your dad has a sense of humor like that of other dads, receiving gag gifts from him has probably become a regular occurrence, no matter the holiday. If you feel like getting him back this Father’s Day, get him one of the following 5 bad Father’s Day gifts. But if you do decide to tease him with one of these bad presents, make sure you show him how much you truly appreciate him with something more up his alley.
Here are five bad Father’s Day gifts to avoid getting your Dad this year:
1. A Delicious Smelling Bath Gift Set
As much as dad won’t admit it, he may actually enjoy a nice bubble bath to open the pores every once in awhile. But chances are, your dad is already fully stocked on cologne and other smelly lotions and potions from holidays past. As tempting as it may be to take the easy route and pick up a pre-packaged set of bath goodies, leave it on the shelf where it belongs. Your dad deserves a thoughtful gift that he can use year-round.
2. Outdoor Grill
Yes, many dads enjoy a good BBQ during the summer months to cook up a good meal at the end of a long day. Although a small grill may sound like a good gift, it provides a hint of “I love you, now cook me something” attitude like that of buying your mom pots and pans for Mother’s Day. Since Father’s Day is in June, the prices of outdoor grills will be marked up for the summer season. Best to leave the outdoor grill for a holiday gift, or birthday present at another time of the year.
3. A New Tie
This gift is just asking to be on a list of bad Father’s Day gifts. Acting as the quintessential gift for the lazy buyer of the family, a new tie requires little to no thought. If your dad regularly wears a tie for work or gatherings, chances are he has a good tie already. If your father strays from wearing these neck constrictors at all costs, then buying him one on the day to show your dad extra love and appreciation may not leave him feeling either of those sentiments.
4. A DIY Project
Dads are busy men. Not only are they fathers, but they act as coaches, teachers, carpenters, janitors, mechanics, chefs, and much more. Giving him yet another project to put to the side only adds to his to-do list. If you truly believe that a certain DIY project is what he craves this Father’s Day, offer to help him with the process to spend some quality time together.
5. As Seen on TV Gadgets
As much as he says he’ll use that cooling laptop table or portable cup holder he saw on a late-night commercial, he won’t. Useless gadgets may bring temporary joy, but will soon enough end up in the junk drawer along with other stocking stuffers and unnecessary purchases from throughout the years.
Instead of another bad Father’s Day gift this year, give your dad a gift that gives back.
