Some fathers say they already have everything they need in their truck, so there is no need to get him a gift. What a typical dad response, right? For the dad who has everything, you can lean towards something sentimental. Think about keeping his feet warm during those unbelievably cold winter nights spent away from the home…add a bit of fun and make it a pair of socks with face on it! He’ll smile every time he sees his kids’ faces on his socks. You have so many options!
Imagine his face when he opens up a homemade story written and illustrated by his kids or grandkids. Think of his reaction when you buy him a model car kit for a 1969 Dodge Charger or a 1972 Plymouth Duster. Can you picture his response when he opens a set of personalized fishing lures, along with a promised fishing date the next time he gets home? Sentimental gifts can sometimes be the best kind! Or you might want to get him a funny gift that he can look and smile at when he’s on the road, this could be in the form of a bobblehead where you can Design Your Own Bobbleheads to either look like him or members of the family. This should bring him some joy on those long days on the road!
No matter the gift, remember it is always the thought that counts. Make sure you thank him for all of his hard work out on the road and wish him the best Father’s Day ever!
