Fishing, Football, Flying – Fun Ideas for Father's Day | Father's Day Gifts from GettingPersonal.co.uk

9 June 2009

Dads have some pretty cool interests and whether your dad is in to football, flying or fishing there is bound to be something out there perfect for him for Fathers Day. Sometimes when we're looking for Father's Day gifts we limit ourselves by thinking certain presents would be too ambitious or too expensive but so many experience days and other prezzies are more affordable than you might initially think! They're also tons of fun.

In this article we're going to take a look at three of the most popular interests for dads; fishing, football and flying and give you a few brilliant Father's Day gift ideas!

Fishing For the Perfect Gift

If your dad is fishing mad then the perfect Father's Day gift should be obvious, spend the day doing that with him. You can take him somewhere that the fish are plentiful and the landscape is picturesque or just go down to his favourite spot with a flask of something hot.

To go with the experience you can buy a few small Father's Day gifts. These could be a pair of fishing rod cufflinks made from hand painted china, a personalised mug with fishes on it (and his name) which would be perfect for the office or even a fishing calendar - great for marking off those days when it will just be him and the open water.

Then after a day fishing, why not spend the afternoon and evening with friends and family at a little summer BBQ? You could cook your fish, grab some bread and salad and crack open a beer then tell everyone just how you caught the big one!



How to Score a Great Gift

Football is one of the most popular sports in the world (if not the most popular!) so it's not surprising how many dads love the footie. Men generally can sometimes seem football obsessed; nothing can make them scream at the telly with quite the same vigour and passion.

If your dad has a favourite team and hates to miss a game on the TV why not make Father's Day a football fest? There are so many affordable options. You could reserve a table at the pub to watch a match, get him tickets to a stadium game or even go to the park for a picnic and kick a ball around instead.

When it comes to doing something football related on Fathers Day your imagination can run riot and the more personal the Father's Day gifts you choose the more meaningful they will be. You could get your dad a table soccer football game to play with the family after watching a match at home, or a personalised football calendar with your father's name integrated in to each picture page. Make sure you write how much you love him in his Father's Day card and do something fun and you can't really go wrong!

High Flying Gift Ideas

Flying planes or helicopters needn't only be the pursuit of heros in action films you know? These days there are loads of experience days out there which make the perfect gift for Father's Day. Just find out what is your dad's favourite flying machine, from helicopters and airplanes to gliders and hot air balloons and then find him a brilliant Father's Day experience package to fit your budget.

They might be cheaper than you think, for example a gliding package which is a lot like flying but in a craft with no engine! Costs from £58 which is about the amount which many people spend on Fathers Day anyway.

A flying lesson experience day in a fully fledged small, engine-powered aircraft with an experienced instructor starts at £107 and is so exciting! The sound of the engine alone sends shivers down a person's spine. If you want to go with your dad you might consider a champagne balloon flight, there's nothing like the sensation of rising as the balloon slowly and smoothly climbs through the air with you safely tucked in the basket.

Helicopter flights, on the other hand start at £63 for ten minutes and go up to £184 for a 1 and a half hour lesson package. It can be really exhilarating to get in to the air in a small air craft and a really memorable time so if your dad loves those plane and helicopter scenes in the movies letting him get in to the clouds can be perfect. What better way to thank your hero dad than to make him feel like one?
