Meaningful Gifts for Dad

Meaningful Gifts for Dad by Family Tree Video

Finding meaningful gifts for Dad can feel like a herculean quest, especially when he already seems to have everything he wants or needs! Yet every year we face the same task: coming up with gifts for his birthday, Father’s Day and Christmas or other holiday.

Below are 5 meaningful Gifts for Dad that come from the heart and are certain to touch him deeply. These gifts vary in time and cost and can be given by one person or collectively as a family.

A Favorite Photo Framed
Does Dad have a favorite photo tucked away somewhere? If the photo is in poor condition or too small to display, have it digitally restored, enlarged and printed on archival paper. Then frame it. When presenting the gift, ask him to share the story behind the photo and why it is so meaningful.
A Stroll Down Memory Lane
Take a drive or stroll through the neighborhood where Dad spent his childhood. Encourage him to share memories and stories from his youth. If the whole family comes along, rent a van and hand out a written itinerary with the history and highlights. Cap the day off with a picnic or meal at his favorite restaurant.
Capture His Life Story in a Legacy Video
For a truly special gift, capture his life story, family history and life lessons in a Legacy Video. You can either do it yourself or hire a professional. Either way, knowing his story will be shared for generations to come is a gift certain to move him deeply.
In His Honor
Name something meaningful to your father in his honor. Does his favorite baseball team, school, museum, charitable organization offer a naming opportunity? A brick, bench, room, scholarship, etc. If not, think of one you can create.
An Appreciation Book
Ask family members (and friends) to write down 3+ things they appreciate most about your father and gather them in a book. Present the book at a party and ask everyone read what they wrote.

Will one of 5 these meaningful gifts for Dad work for you?
