Here’s our list of great, and healthy, ideas:
1. A Supportive Pillow. A top-quality pillow can get a little pricey, but isn’t it worth it when you consider all of the healthy risks from not sleeping well? Help day sleep better, lowering his risks of heart disease, obesity and diabetes.
If dad is a snorer, try buying him an anti-snore pillow.
2. Grilling Tools. Some fathers like to cook. Some don’t. But…rare is the dad that doensn’t like to grill. Which is just fine, since grilled food tend to be lower in fat and calories. So buy dad a new grill, or some new grilling utensils.
3. A Lunch Box. Encourage dad to pack his lunch more often by buying him a grown-up lunch box. There are so many options to choose from, and not only will he save money, but he’ll also tend to eat better throughout the day, and control health risks like obesity and heart disease.
4. A Healthy Gift Basket. Every dad will agree that there’s no greater gift than food. So give your dad a cool basket filled with heart healthy treats. Either buy a pre-packed basket, or make one yourself. Just some healthy options include almonds, dark chocolate, olive oil, popcorn kernels, even some of his favorite red wine.
5. Personal Training Sessions. Want to give your dad the gift of youth and help keep him around as long as possible? Then encourage him to exercise more by signing him up for a few training sessions. While you’re at it, why not buy him a pair of gym shorts and a t-shirt…just so he can’t use not having the right gear as an excuse for not working out.
6. Golf Clubs/Personalized Golf Balls. Is dad a golfer? Then get him his own set of clubs, or a set of personalized golf balls. While he’s enjoying his sport and strengthening his heart, he’ll also be warming that heart by being reminded of the family that loves him.
7. A New Coffee Cup/Water Bottle. So many dads just cannot live without their joe, and all dads need to be drinking enough water every day. Just make sure that your choice is BPA-free!!
8. iTunes Gift Card. Whether he’s making playlists for his exercise routine or downloading apps, any dad would welcome the gift of being able to shop more for the music and apps he loves.
9. New gym gear. To help dad get in and stay in great shape, buy him some new workout clothes, or a new gym bag.
