- Unique Birthday Presents For Dad
What do you give a man who has everything? One of these unique birthday presents for dad, of course!
Grilling for Golfers
Is your dad the king of the golf course and the grill? If so, here's a gift worth taking a swing at! Not only will the PAR-B-QUE 3-piece grilling set help him show off his golfing prowess right there on the back yard bar-b-que, but the extraordinary design is like no other. Each of the three pieces offers the perfect combination of function for the grill and love for the game of golf.
He's guaranteed a hole-in-one with the spatula putter and golf ball tongs, and the grip on the meat fork is fit for a champion! Every grill master needs his tools, but take it one step further by giving him something he can be passionate about!
The PAR-B-QUE 3-piece grilling set is an unparalleled choice of unique birthday presents for dad. After all, nothing brings out the caveman in a guy quite like standing over raw meat with a club in his hand — is there any better gift than that? This one is an ace for sure!
Engraved Cuff Links
If your dad has that certain "distinguished gentleman" allure, then the set of personalized silver cuff links just might be the ideal gift. Each stunning silver cuff link in the pair arrives engraved with one, two, or three initials of your choice, offering a handsome nuance to his professional wardrobe.
Even if your father is more casual than collected, personalized silver cuff links still make a great gift. If dad only dresses up on special occasions, your touching gesture will mean that much more. In fact, he'll pull your gift out for all of the most important moments in his life, and that makes for an exceptional birthday gift he won't soon forget.
Business Card Sculptures
Almost everyone has business cards these days, and now you can turn them into truly unique birthday presents for dad! Even a man who seems to have everything isn't likely to have one of these unusual items on hand, so you can bet on this one being an instant hit!
The golfer card sculpture is the ideal desk accessory for a father who loves the game of golf.
All you need is to send off 20 of your dad's personal business cards and you'll receive a perfectly posed three-dimensional figure with one heck of a golf swing! Your dad can admire the stance and show off his business all at once, and it's the ideal distraction for those days when he'd rather be anywhere other than work.
If you dad prefers the expanse of his executive office to the golf course, then the executive business card sculpture is the better choice for him.
He'll find it impossible not to smile when this hardworking cardboard figure catches his attention, and you can be sure that it will! This little man sits at a desk that offers a great view of the face of the business card as he takes an important call, and every detail has been meticulously crafted to create a conversation piece that you can bet that he'll proud of.
Both card sculptures arrive on a handsome walnut base and include a glass dome that offers a full 8" of coverage. The classic presentation is the perfect finishing touch to this spectacular and very unusual gift!
- Is Dad About To Get A Little Camper?
Along with its Beetle stablemate, the split-screen Volkswagen camper van, or “bus” as it became known, is one of the most iconic road vehicles ever made. It is associated equally with surfer dudes, family holidays and, of course, struggling rock bands carrying their gear from pub to pub.
Now any dad can relive his glory days by building his own miniature VW bus and proudly displaying it on his desk. GettingPersonal.co.uk have launched a range of high quality die-cast motor vehicles in kit form, and this 10cm long VW camper van is right up many a dad's street, especially with Father's Day just around the corner.
Will the sight of it bring back the taste of salt water and the vision of the perfect wave? Or the time when he and his four brothers and three sisters had to share one with their mum and dad in Rhyl in 1976? Or maybe he's just a fan of classic motors but wouldn't own a real one in a million years.
The Build Your Own VW Camper Van kit costs £7.95 and comes with the instructions and a screwdriver, so it can be made up as soon as it's given or kept back for a rainy day. But now we're back to that holiday in Rhyl again … If only he'd had it then.
Seems like a fair deal, a little hard work and patience and our Build Your Own VW Bus rewards you with your own detailed scale model. You may not be able to take it on the road but it makes a great present for any motor enthusiasts.
With Die-cast metal dashboards, opening doors, and a pull back and go motor as well as screwdriver and full instructions our Build Your Own VW Bus makes an original and fun project to keep him occupied for hours on end.
Go on, make him smile with one of these fantastic Father's Day Gifts.

- Two Great Father’s Day Gifts For Divorced Dads
We have plenty of other gift ideas for dads in general, but here are two good gifts for divorced dads, probably from friends or family interested in supporting dads’ relationships with kids who may not even be in the same city. Both are also wonderful presents for dads who “can’t be there” whether due to business travel or military service.
The first is the Vidtel telephone service. Vidtel is finally the telephone of the near future that AT&T promised to us at the 1964 Worlds Fair. Vidtel, using broadband (cable or DSL) connections, finally makes good on that promise.
Because it’s broadband, rather than POTS (plain old telephone service), the picture quality and voice are as good as any online connection using Skype or one of the many online video chat services. The big difference though is that the connection is made using what looks to be a traditional telephone. This means that any child can answer the phone, and even dial from it, making connection possible without an adult to set the connection up.
Vidtel is a bit expensive at $14.95 per month for each phone (other Vidtel payment plans available). At this price, it’s not for everyone, but in our tests, it does what it promises to do: makes it easy to make video calls, inlcuding video voicemail. For a divorced dad who doesn’t want to go through a ex-spouse gatekeeper for every conversation with his child, this might be a good solution.
Additionally, the Vidtel has an auto-answer setting making it possible to be used as a room monitoring device. We’d counsel against using this for spying, but there are very real situations (new babysitter) where this might be handy.
The ease of use of the Vidtel system also makes this a good choice for older grandparents who may not be able to use computer videoconferencing.
The second is the etendi BRIDGE, available at etendi.com. BRIDGE is a website that provides a closed environment for families to communicate without fear of outsiders and open emails. The users of BRIDGE can only write, share photos, look at a shared calendar and see video of the specific BRIDGE users in their group. This makes it perfect for kids who might be too young to have their own email.
The desktop if set up for sharing photos and there’s even a shared whiteboard where you can imagine dads able to help on math homework. This is certainly not “ideal,” but changing family situations demand technology solutions, never to replace real dad time, but far better than no contact.
Key for dads right now: the service is FREE for four or fewer users. So dad and up to three kids can communicate. A more extensive plan is available for larger families and more users.
