For Her

There went Mother’s Day and here comes Father’s Day soon. Good that you can still celebrate Father’s Day with your dad/dad-in-law.

My dad and dad-in-law passed on long time ago before I got married. Though I didn’t get to celebrate with them, I can celebrate with my uncle who brought me up and treated me like his own daughter.

This coming Father’s Day, I am thinking of gifting him a set of patio furniture to replace his which is as old as he is.

Well, what can I say? He is a thrifty man. Ya, he fits into the category of The Millionaire Next Door!

My sister suggested having a barbecue on Father’s Day for all the fathers in the family in her newly-paved ceramic tile backyard. Hubby and I love this idea very much!

My brother-in-law, a former chef in a renowned restaurant in the city, is ready to prepare a three-course backyard feast starting with Caesar Salad; the main course is Barbecued Pork Ribs and Cowboy Steak With Grilled Corn, Asparagus and Mushroomsters.

There will also be my favorite Grilled Peaches for dessert. Mmm, yummy!

A lavish barbecue with unlimited beer is definitely great for all the dads in my family.

What do you think of gifting your dad an outdoor lighting or helping him replace any malfunctioning lighting in the house with the new one this Father’s Day?

This is what my friend did for his dad as Father’s Day gift last year. He knew his dad needed someone to talk to or as a company on that day more than receiving gifts only from the kids.

So, he drove his dad to an outdoor lighting sale nearby to shop a bit. Then they headed home with some new lighting.

While changing the outdoor lighting, my buddy got the chance to really listen to his dad.

Yup, he tried to be the listener on that day.

Still thinking about Father’s Day gift ideas? When was the last time you went on a vacation or cruise with your dad?

Can’t recall when the last time was? Well, perhaps you may want to consider gifting your dad one of those luxury cruises or cheap cruises if you are on a tight budget.

Going on a vacation or a cruise with your dad is no doubt one of the best ways to get close with your father again.
