Father's Day provides an opportunity to honor Dad for all the great things he does.  But it's easy to fall into a rut of buying the same Father's Day gifts year after year.  After all, how many ties and socks can a man use?  If you're stumped about what to give your dad on this special day, we've put together a list of the top five Father's Day gift ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

1.  Tickets to His Favorite Event

Every dad has a favorite sports team, music band or some event he likes to attend.  Why not surprise him with tickets for two or even tickets for the entire family?  It could be tickets to a ball game, concert, dinner theatre, play, live comedy show...whatever makes him happy!

2.  Gifts for Sports and Hobbies

If your dad is into sports or a certain hobby, consider a gift related to his number one passion.  Some examples include new golf clubs for the golfing dad, a new baseball and glove, football or basketball memorabilia, racing products a new hunting rifle, new fishing gear, hiking gear, camping accessories, etc.

3.  Barbecue Grill, etc...

A common passion for dads is grilling out with family and friends.  That's why barbecue grills make the perfect Father's Day gift!  You can even throw in some of his favorite barbecue and steak sauces, a pack of expensive steaks, and some high quality grilling-ware as a bonus.

4.  A "Dad" Getaway

Most fathers work hard and need to take a break occasionally.  Your dad will surely appreciate a getaway for Father's Day.  Send mom and dad on a romantic weekend getaway - all expenses paid.  If that's more than your budget can handle, you can limit it to a one-night rendezvous for two with dinner at their favorite restaurant and a stay at a fancy hotel.  Even one night away can do plenty to relieve stress!

5.  Club Membership

Many dads have a favorite hobby and join clubs that are related to their hobby.  You might consider buying a one-year membership to a club your dad would enjoy, such as a country club if he's a golfer or a hunting club if he enjoys hunting.  If he loves classic cars, there are car clubs for just about every model and make ever manufactured.  Perhaps he has a favorite online club if your dad spends a lot of time on the Web.  Think of a club he'll enjoy and likely be a part of for the duration of the membership and possibly beyond.

Father's Day is meant to make dads feel special and appreciated.  Show him you care with one of these thoughtful gifts!
