Although single mothers are extremely important and have a really difficult job, some often forget about single fathers. There is never a more important time to honor the single fathers in someone’s life. It could be because of a holiday like Father’s Day, Christmas or Hanukah, or just because someone thinks a single dad is special. There are loads of great gifts to get the single fathers in one’s life.
Just Because Gifts
Parents should be appreciated every day. So if a gift-giver wants to do something nice for a single father just because, here’s a great idea:
The gift that a single father would most appreciate just because you think he’s special is some time off. Drop by a single dad’s home and escort him out the front door, with a promise to spend an afternoon with his kids. Encourage dad to get out and enjoy a movie, dinner or a walk in the park. He will be eternally grateful.
Father’s Day Gifts
Father’s Day is the largest celebration for fathers in the United States. To celebrate the single father in your life on Father’s Day, the following gifts are great options:
Gym Membership – It’s often difficult for a single parent to get out and exercise. Unfortunately, the needs of a single parent’s children take precedence over his work-out routine. Hint: choose a gym that has a babysitting program. It would be awful for the gift to go unused because the single dad can’t find a babysitter.
Weekend Getaway – Luckily, Father’s Day falls within the middle of the summer, therefore, those struggling for a Father’s Day gift idea should consider a solo getaway to a nearby resort. A single father may enjoy the time away. Some things to consider are the father’s interests. If he likes to golf or hike, choose an appropriate getaway based on its amenities. The most important consideration is relaxation. A father, accustomed to lots of noise, will appreciate some tranquility.
Gifts From Children to Single Fathers
A single father will probably like to share holidays with his children; therefore, the best gift idea will incorporate his children. Some other gift ideas are:
- Picture – made by a father’s child
- Tie – a bright-colored tie will keep a smile on dad’s face
- Watch – a single father relies on accurate time
Single fathers are a growing segment in the American culture. It’s often difficult to determine appropriate gifts for single fathers. Whether a gift-giver opts to purchase a gift mentioned above or another gift, one should take an opportunity to tell a single dad that he’s doing a great job. He’ll greatly appreciate the praise.
