5 Gift ideas to give your father.

It can be hard to pick out the perfect presents for your family, especially when it comes to picking out gifts for your parents. If you are looking for the perfect gift to give your dad this year, something that will make him smile and remember old family memories, then take a look at these 5 gift ideas you can get for your dad.

Restored Old Family photographs

Old family photographs can make for a great present, especially when you take the time to restore them. Restoring old family photographs that have wrinkles, tears, discoloration, and other issues will help your dad see them as they were meant to be seen: cherished mementos of family history that can be enjoyed for generations to come.

Customized Photo Mug

One way to gift your dad family memories this year is to order a customized photo mug. A customized photo mug will let him get a long look at his cherished family history every time he drinks coffee in the morning or hot cocoa on a cold winter night. If you don’t think he’d cherish a mug, consider other customized photo gift options, such as blankets, clocks, books, shirts, tote bags and more. To make this type of gift truly special, make sure you choose photos that are special to your dad. This can include photos of his children, grandchildren; his siblings, parents; as well as photos of his partner. 

Drawings from the Grandkids

There are few things more precious to parents than special drawings or crafts from their grandkids or even great-grandkids. These drawings can be a special part of family history, as they get passed down from generation to generation. If you want to make them more special than simple doodles, have the grandkids or great-grandkids draw them on nicer paper or put the drawings in a frame afterward.

Family Video DVD

Family history is special, which is why everyone loves to watch family videos from time to time. You can help grandad watch the videos whenever he wants by transferring important home movies to a DVD that he can watch on his DVD player. You can even customize home movie DVDs with features like menus, special effects and subtitles with the right program. This is definitely a gift that grandpas will appreciate, especially if you have videos of family members who have since passed on.

Family legacy quote book .

If want to preserve family history, you should look beyond family photos and family home movies. Quotes are something that can stay with you for the rest of your life, and what better way to share family memories and history with dad than to create a family legacy quote book filled with sayings from people in the family? This book can include scans and transcriptions from letters passed down through the family, along with quotes and sayings from people in the family who are still around. Like the scrapbook, this gift isn’t just something that dad will enjoy—it is something that can play a large part in passing down family history in the years to come.
