Every Father’s Day I struggle with the same question: What should I get for dad? He doesn’t want ties or socks (if yours does, all the better!) but I think it’s always more fun to plan something we can do together. In years past I’ve given my dad a tennis racket from Goodwill and played tennis at a local court. One year I bought him some fishing lures to go fishing, and the following year I made him a pair of pajamas. Each year it's something different, and every year I start my search at Goodwill. With so many dad-friendly gadgets in the store you are sure to find something your dad will love, or something to help you plan a great day together.
So what could you get at Goodwill for your dad?
- Sports are always fun to play with dad. Get him a basketball or a soccer ball so that you can play together and then come home and make tasty sandwiches.
- Try getting him a backpack and a metal water bottle from Goodwill, and then go on a hike.
- You could make a nice dinner with your dad and find a fun movie at Goodwill to watch together. For dinner you might pick up a wok and some unusual cooking utensils at Goodwill and make a nice stir-fry.
- Does your dad play music? Find a fun musical instrument at Goodwill and record a song on your computer.
- You could also find a funny apron for your dad at Goodwill and buy a class for the two of you at a local ceramics studio.
Whatever you end up doing with your dad, it doesn’t have to cost much at all. So start at Goodwill and plan something great for the two of you to do together this Father’s Day.
