Fathers Day Gifts for Seniors

Choosing Father's Day gifts for seniors doesn't have to be a chore. With a bit of planning, you 'll find just the right thing for the man you want to honor on Father's Day. Consider whether you are looking for a gift for an active senior or someone who would appreciate gifts to help make daily living easier.

Don't forget to get Dad a gift for Father's Day.

Father's Day gifts for seniors should reflect the interests and tastes of the person involved. Before you go shopping for yet another tie, think about how the special dad on your list spends his time.

• Is he working, semi-retired or completely retired?
• Does he have a hobby?
• Does he follow a particular sports team or event?

The answers to these questions will help guide you to an appropriate Fathers' Day gift.

Here are some suggestions for Father's Day gifts for seniors:

• Give a gift that ties in with Dad's hobbies. If he likes fishing, don't just surprise him with a new rod or lure. Give him the gift but tell him that you have made plans to spend a day or a weekend fishing with him. He will appreciate your wanting to spend time with him just as much as the gift.

• If he likes to read, pick up the latest bestseller in the genre that he likes. You can also order a gift subscription to his favorite magazine or arrange to pick up the tab for home delivery of the daily newspaper.

• It's easy to give an entertainment-related gift for Fathers' Day. You can get your father tickets to a sporting event or a concert that he will enjoy. Gift certificates to movie theaters are another good choice. If you are shopping for someone who enjoys music, buy a CD of his favorite artist or download songs to burn a CD just for him.

• In a situation where you are shopping for someone who is still living in his own home but could use some help with household chores, arrange for a house cleaning service to come in on a regular basis, or for someone to mow the lawn. In colder climates, you may want to consider paying for someone to shovel the driveway and walkway at the house during the winter.

• Also think about gadgets that will help make everyday living easier when you are looking for Father's Day gifts for seniors. Consider items like lighted magnifiers for people who have trouble making out the fine print on labels, or large-face watches or clocks.

• Clothing is another good choice when you are looking for Father's Day gifts. If you aren't sure about the size or color, you have a couple of options. Some stores will print off a gift receipt that allows the recipient to return or exchange the item within in a certain time. You also have the option of giving a gift card and letting Dad choose his gift.

• If you want to send something that is good to eat as a gift, consider a gift basket of fruit, chocolate, jams or preserves. This is an good option if the recipient doesn't live nearby. You can place your order online or by phone and have it delivered on the day you choose. In a situation where you are shopping for someone who lives nearby, pick up a basket from a retailer or surprise him with one you put together.

Whatever you choose as a Father's Day gift for seniors, keep in mind that the recipient will think that it is wonderful because you took the time to pick it out. That's what makes it special in his eyes.
