Gifts for Dad Portland OR

(NC)—June means summer is really here and outdoor celebrations can finally begin. First up is Father's Day on June 21. Try to get away from the usual gifts this year. Forget about ties, razors and cologne and give your dad something totally different. Match your father's personality with a gift you know he'll love.

The Sports Fan

Is your dad a die-hard baseball fan? Offer him a chance to go see his favourite team in action. There's an outing that would get a home run from any sport-buff dad and his kids, too.

The Art Lover

Your modern dad would gladly trade the traditional ties for contemporary artwork created by the budding artists in his family. Or why not organize a family outing to an art gallery where dad and everyone in the family can enjoy the creations of famous artists.

The Adventurer

If your dad likes to walk on the wild side, plan a day of outdoor fun full of all kinds of activities. Start off with a bike ride and follow through with a hike. You'll be building muscles and memories that your dad will treasure.

The Gourmet

A family picnic is a gift that has it all for fathers who love food. Picnics let you enjoy a shining sun, a warm breeze, and a menu that will not break the bank. Even the busiest families will be able to relax and enjoy a great meal in a beautiful setting. To really spice things up challenge your dad to a grilling contest.
