You have left the nest a long time ago, and your folks are starting to miss you real bad. Lately, you have been scouring the malls for a good selection of gifts that dad’s like, simply because you want to give your loving father a gift to remember you by.

If you’re thinking of something memorable to give your dad, but would want to steer clear of photo albums, you could get him a personalized mug. If he’s a huge sports fan, get him a one-year subscription to his favorite sports magazine. You can get him a fishing rod, if he’s into fishing on weekends.

It needs no special occasion to give your dad a special present. Letting your parents know that they will forever have an important place in your heart always succeeds at lifting their spirits. More than anything, that’s what they need at their age.
