Forget getting dad another tie or screwdriver or golf ball. Here are some gift ideas that dad will be sure to remember.

1. Let your father know that he is in your daily prayers. Even better (come on, you can do this), ask your father for some private time together when you can pray aloud for him.
2. Write him a love letter. Tell him what you appreciate about him (be specific).
3. Use your computer or get out your colored pencils. Design a "I'm glad you're my dad" card.
4. Contact your church and have flowers put on the altar in your father's name.
5. Wash and polish his car. Vacuum out the interior. Leave him a note to explain why you've done this.
6. Rent a video/DVD together. Then sit together to watch it.
7. Ask him out on a lunch date (yup, that means you buy). It's doesn't have to be a fancy restaurant; fast-food will do.
8. Email him seven (why settle for one?) greeting cards.
9. Take over your father's regular chores around the house for a time or two. Mow the lawn, take out the garbage, cook supper, go grocery shopping - whatever he usually does.
10. Rub his back.
11. Everybody does birthday cakes. Pick a day and bake him a "I love you, Dad" cake.
12. Scrapbooking is big these day. Piece together a book about your father and why you appreciate him.
