Christmas Gift Card Ideas For Dad

Submitted by: Chriss Harmen

Men aren’t known for being easy to shop for; they seldom give you ideas for what they’d like and they can be very particular. That’s why a gift card is the perfect choice for dads everywhere this holiday season. There are several advantages to giving your dad or granddad a holiday gift certificate or card:

The right voucher from his favorite store makes it easy for you to point him in the right direction. He won’t have to worry about going to the mall and trying to find a store that might have something he likes. Instead, he can simply go directly to the store you chose. He’ll thank you for that!

There’s no need to worry about sizes, colors, or styles. If your father loves to go hunting, he may want a new camouflage jacket or some decoys. If you aren’t a hunting enthusiast yourself, you won’t be able to pick out the right camouflage or decoys. You may end up getting a coat in the wrong size or pattern, or you could end up with decoys that are useless. On the other hand, if you give him the opportunity to choose his own present by giving him a voucher with a pre-set spending limit, he can get exactly what he’s had his eye on all year long.

Giving dad a gift card is like giving him a present twice. Once when he opens the voucher, and again when he gets to go shopping with it. You can make it extra special by offering to take him shopping and making a day of it.

It’s a great excuse to go window shopping. Your dad may love to wander around Best Buy, but may not do it very often because he feels like it’s “a waste of time.” If he walks in with a voucher to spend, he can take his time and soak up the joy of the store.

Gift Cards From Sporting Good Stores Are Perfect For The Outdoorsy Dad

Gift cards from pro shops and sporting goods stores are very popular with men. What man doesn’t love to visit a store that carries everything a nature lover or sportsman could want? When your Dad sees a voucher from his favorite outdoor outfitter or pro shop, his eyes will light up and he’ll be ready to hop in the car immediately. With so many wonderful products, it’s hard to go wrong with holiday vouchers from sporting goods or fishing supply stores. If he loves to fish, he can buy anything from hand tied fishing flies to the perfect pair of waders and everything in between. He can browse through all the gear, equipment, supplies and even clothing anyone could want to make a fishing trip memorable.

Look for gift cards from stores that aren’t just about fishing for even more versatility. When your dad walks into the right store, he should see clothing by all the top outdoor clothing labels so he can try on anything from fluorescent orange hunting vests to warm and rugged winter coats. Just imagine how much he’ll love searching the store website looking for a great performance fleece jacket, then pulling out one of his vouchers and placing an order. Or maybe he’ll try on the jacket at the local store and pay the cashier using his Christmas present. Every time he wears that jacket, he’ll think of you and appreciate your generosity.

An Online Gift Card For The Internet Savvy Dad

Some dads love shopping online; there aren’t any lines like at traditional stores and you can have whatever you want shipped right to your house. For these dads, one of the many electronic commerce supers stores that carry a diverse array of merchandise would be ideal. You don’t have to worry about online retailers not having the right present item, either. Some of these electronic commerce stores carry everything from auto parts to kitchen gadgets, so whether your dad is a gear head or a gourmet chef, online gift cards will be appreciated.

Online store cards are also great for dads who love a good bargain. Most don’t have an expiration date whether he logs on tomorrow or next summer, online cards from these popular e-commerce establishments will retain their full value. Your dad will love being able to shop online without any pressure. He can also get extra buying power by shopping online sales.

The best part of giving gift cards may be the fun of giving your Dad a present that lets him pick precisely what he wants this holiday season. With millions of items to choose from, it will be Christmas all over again when his selection is delivered right to his door.
