It makes a difference in a child’s life when they have someone to look up to and strive to become like them. For boys, a positive male figure in their lives is crucial. It can make him become a better man.
Mentors have important roles and they choose to be in the lives of the youths they help. Fathers can make a choice to be there for their children or not to be. Thank goodness for those that choose to be a father. Children love showing their love and appreciation for the grown-ups that love them.
Gifts can be homemade or store bought but they are giving out of love. Gifts for fathers could be clothing, games, jewelry or tools. Mom may be the one doing the shopping but the kids love to present the items to their dad. Dad is about the most admired person, next to mom of course.
Father’s Day is a big deal but it is not as sentimental a celebration as Mother’s Day. The items who choose for mom are things like flowers, photographs, keepsakes and mementos. Dad doesn’t mind receiving photographs of his family but mom gets more excited about it. She is also the one that hangs them on the wall and organizes the pictures. She might also be the one who puts the pictures in the photo albums and makes the scrapbooks.
You might not move Dad to tears with the gifts your give him or most men. They get excited but not too emotional or they tend to hide it. Some might think that the items we choose for men are boring or not that exciting. Sportswear, wallets, ties, tools or socks can be rather dull. But you can spice it up with items like cologne, autographed jersey or baseballs, power tools and gadgets.
Electronics are not boring at all. Poker players will love to receive a hand held electronic game to help them brush up on their poker-playing skills. Pool tables or foosball games will also make it more fun. Dad would love walking into his basement or rec room and find a new pool table. A gift like that might choke him up a bit.
Season tickets are another way to give him something he can treasure. He can enjoy this gift for more than one day. Keep him looking good with some exciting new clothing or warm-up suits. Father and son would look adorable in matching outfits. It takes a big man to be a leader but a bigger man to be able to follow.
