Cards for Dad- Help Me Choose!

Posted by Caley on June 11th, 2009 at 08:06am

My Dad is completely impossible to buy presents for. He generally buys himself any new gadgets he wants and he is incredibly picky when it comes to clothing. Aren’t all Dads hard to buy for? Luckily, my Dad loves to read. I’m talking about 3-4 books/week. As the daughter with the graduate degree in English, I’ve made it something of a tradition to buy him a book at Christmas, Father’s Day and his birthday.  Since that eliminates some of the creativity of gift-giving, I try to make him a homemade card and something else small to include with the book. For my Dad’s past birthday, I sent him a crochet tawashi. Tawashis are seriously fun to crochet.

For Father’s Day, I am going to make him a really nice card to go with the book. Here are a few ideas I’m considering:

Airplane Card for Dad- This 3-D Father’s Day card is an airplane, which he can keep on this desk. How cool!

Summer Breeze Card- My Dad loves sailboats and this homemade card is really lovely.

Everything Japanese Card- My Dad also loves all things Japanese, so I’m sure he’d like this card.

Decisions, decisions. Which should I make?
