4. Memory Journal
There are two kinds of gifts you can give to a dad: a sentimental gift or a practical one. If you’re looking for something thoughtful that’ll melt his heart, get him a memory journal that’ll inspire him to pen down his life’s story.
Writing prompts like “What were your favorite toys and playtime activities?” and “What was your house like growing up?” will sneak out his most treasured tales. With Dad’s childhood memories and words of wisdom, this book will be a family heirloom preserved and passed down through generations.

8. Gift an Experience
To gift a dad an experience they’ll truly value, you’ll need to match it to their interests and hobbies. It could be something daredevil like skydiving or ziplining or something more laid-back like an off-the-grid weekend getaway.
