Find Your Father’s Day is just around the corner; you have been diligently searching and constantly on the lookout as you quest for dear ole dad’s perfect gift. You’ve traveled all over town, explored store after store, but still can’t find anything original, something that you haven’t bought at least a hundred times before.
Is it time to just give up and buy another tie?
Of course not. This is the man who taught you how to ride a bike, bait a hook, throw a strike and score a touchdown. He paced the floor in worry when you were sick, cheered you on as you rounded the baseline, and consoled you after your first break-up. After all dad has done, and continues to do, doesn’t he deserve more than the same gift yet again? Isn’t it time to think outside the box?
There’s still one store you have yet to visit, one place that didn’t immediately cross your mind. That’s right, I’m talking about your local florist! I can hear you thinking, “Flowers? For MY dad?” Sure! Why not? Your local florist isn’t just there for Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and first dates; they work hard all year ’round to ensure that they have just what you need and want for any occasion. Father’s Day is no exception!
What’s Available For Dad at the Florist?
Personalized Flowers
Most florists can create an arrangement of flowers with your dad’s favorite team’s colors as well as use themed accessories for any of the different major sports. Want a golf theme? They can do it! Football? You bet. Baseball, basketball, tennis, and hockey? Check, check, check, and check! A quick phone call should answer any questions you have and ensure that you get exactly what you want.
Air-cleansing Plants
Does dad have a shop, a workbench in the garage, or a man cave? Nothing helps clean the air in a musty, man-permeated space quite like a living plant. A plant will give your paterfamilias an actual task to perform so he doesn’t have to simply putter around, and it will provide him with something to talk to when he’s working alone. The wide variety of plants available will guarantee that you find something compatible with your dad and his favorite hangout spot.
Gift Baskets
What dad doesn’t like snacks? Whether salty snacks, chocolate snacks or tasty fruit, your local florist has it in the bag… err, basket! Gift baskets are a great way to compliment a gift you’ve already purchased, or they can stand on their own merits as a solo gift.
As you can see, buying a gift for dad doesn’t have to be a trudge through the mire of traditional flotsam and jetsam. It can be a fresh experience full of new and exciting options! So contact your local florist to see what they can do for you and your dad. You’ll be pleasantly surprised. Happy Father’s Day!
