Birthday Gifts for Dad of Mom
From my experience, getting birthday gifts as a Dad can be a great time, especially if you can help out by giving ideas on what you want ahead of time. And while you may think I’m being greedy or opportunistic I’m talking specifically about gifts from the heart that you as a Dad will always treasure. I have two teenagers and both asked me want I wanted for you my birthday this year. Well, I had just bought a HD DVD player so I thought about some DVDs I might want. I considered some books I had been wanting to read and so on. But then I began to think, what could they give me that would be a gift we both would appreciate?
So I decided on photos and stories. I asked my son to put together a collection of photos (he picked 9 photos from his “younger” years) that he thought I would like. He did a great job and now I have a pleasant reminder of our time together when he was a toddler crawling around, an 8 year old with a front tooth missing and a few others when he was beyond cute! He had a good time picking them out and I have a good time looking at them. A win, win you could say for both of us. Plus it only cost him the price of a frame.
I then asked my daughter to write down a memory of us (and put some thought to it). It is the perfect gift as well; it will always make me smile and it will last forever!
Both gifts were inexpensive and will lighten my heart any time I refer to them. I couldn’t have asked for a better gift for my birthday. Being a Dad has many great moments, making them easier to remember is priceless.
