      Love the idea of the fave meal! We do that as a gift lots here too. A good deviation from our normally cheap diets. 😉

  1. I also like the favorite meal gift. Honestly, when asked what I want…I really can’t think of anything (especially anything reasonably priced…sure I’d like a house or a car, but that’s not something I’m putting on a wish list!) A lot of times, our gifts are going somewhere or maybe eating out.

  2. These are great! Admittedly, I’m in the phase of just exchanging cards with my parents, but I think any gesture or act of kindness or gift goes a long way with parents. They earned it.

    • Laurie says:

      I think so too, Natalie. For my dad we get together at a local park for a BBQ. It’s always great fun and dad enjoys simply being with the kids/grandkids.

  3. This is an awesome list Laurie!! I actually think I’m going to get my hubby the handyman work gloves from my son. He always seems to need those for work around the house and never seems to find a pair. They really are a functional and affordable gift!

    • Laurie says:

      LOVE the work gloves! There’s something about having quality gloves when working around the house. We have learned the value of them since moving to the farm.

  4. Kalie says:

    Great ideas, especially the practical, low-cost items. Those are my favorite kind of gifts. We usually do a special meal at home instead of gifts for Mother’s and Father’s days, but my husband hinted he’d like a good raincoat. I’m always more excited to buy gifts when I know of a particular need.

    • Laurie says:

      That’s a great idea, Kalie! Always good to have a good raincoat. It’s one of those things you don’t think you need until it’s pouring out, and then you wish you had one. 🙂

  5. Mr. SSC says:

    Nice list! When the Mrs. asked if I wanted anything for Father’s Day, I replied, “Nope, I’m good. Can’t think of anything.” Those work gloves though, made me make a mental note for my birthday, because mine are getting a little worn out.

    As far as a movie marathon, that’s another great idea! I’d love to have the time and kids with enough attention span to actually sit and enjoy a marathon, lol.
    Soon, hopefully soon…

    • Laurie says:

      LOL, umm, yeah, just a warning: that takes awhile. 🙂 Our youngest is 9 and we’re getting there, I think. 😉

  6. Bill says:

    Greta list Laurie, sure i’ll pick ”BA’s Van Travel Mug” for my dad i hope he wouldn’t make a fuss.

  7. Oh my goodness! Is it Father’s Day? Thanks for the reminder : ) I like the gourmet Bar-b-que seasoning, but that just might be me being selfish. Happy Father’s Day to Rick!

  8. Nate M. says:

    These are some great gift ideas for dads and grandfathers. My father is always difficult to buy for. It always seems he has everything, so going fishing is always a good and cheap idea.

  9. I have been trying to think of things to do for my husband (it is his second father’s day 🙂 I was thinking of an outing with our baby girl…beach day? trip to the zoo? picnic? But I’m sure he would REALLY love the new iPhone!

  10. MMP says:

    I’d always enjoy a good gift, but on Father’s Day, all I need is some quality time with my family!

  11. Ty Roberts says:

    I’ve got the Bose Soundlink and absolutely LOVE it! But that said, I just moved it out of my kitchen where it’s been for the past year or so and replaced it with Alexa. The sound quality is not as nice as the Bose, but it’s good enough. The interactive features make it my favorite ‘toy’ at the moment. I know all of the guys that I associate with would LOVE to have one.

    Nice list here, Laurie!

  12. katscratch says:

    I was visiting a friend last weekend and was blown away by the sound of her Bose soundlink! If I wasn’t a frugal jedi I’d be coveting that myself 🙂
