Dad's want something that benefits the baby and shows that he cares about he/she. The best gift would be to get a shirt/outfit that says something about dad or daddies something.
There are a lot of great selections for a gift for new dad. One good thing to give to a new dad as a gift is a subscription to Hulu Plus which is a Netflix alternative.
It might be better to send your dad on a unique experience or plan a day with him. You can take him out to the ballgame or send him on a WWII Fighter plane ride.
I know one perfect gift for dads. It's my dad's birthday recently and I've been thinking for a long time about what to buy him. I found a site called CaricatureMaster and decided to order golf caricature of him because he is an passionate golfer. They did a fantastic job, my dad was thrilled, he said it was the most unique gift he ever received.
Really anything that he has been wanting would be a great gift. Also to make this a special fathers day you could give him a family picture he would enjoy.
duuuh a watch
LOVE!
You and your family
Get your dad some outdoor activity stuff like fishing pole, baseball mitt, barbeque grill, etc. Anything that a dad would like to have and use outdoors.
From his dad like his dad did.
Deciding on a novel gift for a fifty year old dad will depend upon the tastes of that individual. It could be a personalized bottle of whiskey or wine or a personalized jersey of his favorite sports team for example.
I guess it would be best to ask for what you want... A car? An iPod? A large gift card so you can get new clothes?
