Go the Extra Mile: Presents That'll Make Him Smile | Father's Day presents from GettingPersonal.co.uk

15 June 2009

It was in the business world that the concept of 'going the extra mile' was conceived. Anyone who works in a fairly large company will be more than familiar with the idea, having been coerced and encouraged to go the extra mile for the customer in more ways than one! But how often do we go the extra mile for our friends and loved ones? Wouldn't we get more out of our personal relationships if we went the extra mile for the people who really matter to us? When Father's Day comes around, we have the opportunity to do just that for one very special person in our life. Dad is someone who has always been there for us, who has loved us, provided for us and given us the guidance we need to live fulfilling lives. It's the amazing things that our dads have done that excite, challenge and inspire us to do whatever it takes to go the extra mile for him.

When the month of June approaches, the shops are crammed with Fathers Day presents that are nothing if not impersonal and certainly fail to give the impression that you've used any real thought or imagination in your choice. In order to show you've gone the extra mile, you need to source Father's Day presents with individual qualities. The great thing is they don't necessarily need to cost the earth, in fact it's often the less expensive items that can sometimes convey the most meaning.

Personalised Father's Day Presents

Personalised Father's Day presents are ideal expressions of your love, especially when the inspiration has been drawn from your dad's hobbies and interests. This is when it really shows that you've gone the extra mile and invested some thought into what he'll like. Coffee mugs make ideal Fathers Day presents as they are practical yet inexpensive and when the design is personalised, they can really put a smile on his face. So if he's a keen golfer, how about a mug that shows his name spelt out in golf carts on the golf course? And it doesn't stop there - if he indulges in the odd flutter at the casino you can even write his name in chips across the roulette table. If he enjoys fishing, he can even have it written across a trout! If you want to get even more personal, there are Father's Day presents that can be professionally created using his favourite photos. So how about a wash bag or a glasses case printed with a special photo that means the world to him?

Use Your Imagination And Create!

When you want to go the extra mile for your dad, some creative thought is called for. Luckily there are Father's Day presents that have already taken this to the next level. If he's football crazy, the 'You're a legend personalised commentary' CD just might be perfect for him. Just give his name and a few key details, and you can have a historic piece of personalised football commentary professionally created just for him, and it goes without saying that he'll be playing the starring role! Just imagine, he could be playing alongside his favourite players in the winning team, or even scoring the winning goal in the England Cup Final! If he loves music, and he has a favourite musical era from the past, he may just love the 'Personalised and framed didi disc' or the 'Your special record personalised CD plaque' which allows you to mount any song of your choice in a luxury personalised frame. For a great tip, take the trouble to find out his favourite song from his favourite year, to score a real hit with him.

Making Hilarious Headlines

Has your dad always dreamt of fame and fortune and yearned for his moment of national glory? Well, now there are Fathers Day presents that can make that fantasy come true. No, not a golden ticket to the Britain's Got Talent final, but a chance to make headlines in a full colour, high quality newspaper article, depicting your dad receiving a knighthood from the Queen! Imagine his amazement when he reads that he has been a privileged guest at Buckingham Palace and is now revered across the country for his achievements. If you want to make the message more personal, consider the Father of the Year Mirror headline for the perfect Father's Day honour. And if you really want to go all the way in making him smile, go for the personalised Daily Mirror spoof newspaper. Presented in its own 'breaking news' embossed folder, it's your chance to really go the extra mile and use your dad's name and photo to create some hilarious stories.
