Press Release Summary: ACCC provides consumers budget conscious advice for Father\'s Day
Press Release Body: Father's Day is a time to recognize Dad for all of his hard work and support he has provided for the family over the years. Although expensive gifts or plans may be nice gestures, they aren't necessary to show your appreciation, especially if you're on a budget. One thing to keep in mind when searching for the perfect gift for Dad is that the best gifts are given from the heart. The value of a gift is found in the amount of thought that is put into it, not the amount of money you spend on it. Here are some budget conscious ideas for Father's Day gifts, provided by the credit counseling professionals at American Consumer Credit Counseling (ACCC):
If you have a little cash to spend on Dad there are plenty of inexpensive options out there. What does your Dad love to do? Is he a golfer or sports fan, a movie buff or music fan, or does he enjoy reading or puzzles? What kind of foods does he like? A round of golf, a new book, puzzle, album, DVD or a meal at his favorite restaurant all make great affordable Father's Day gifts if you have the money for it. If you don't have the funds to buy Dad a gift this Father's Day, don't worry, there are plenty of thoughtful things to do for him without spending any money.
Do some of the chores that Dad normally does, and give him some time to relax. Washing the car, mowing the lawn, doing yard work or handy work are all thoughtful ways to show your appreciation. If you need some ideas just ask Dad what needs to be done around the house. He will be glad to hear you ask.
Homemade gifts are a great way to show your appreciation for Dad. You could build him a birdhouse, make a collage with photos of you and him, burn him a CD with some of his favorite songs on it, or cook him one of his favorite meals.
Come up with a creative way to spend some time with Dad. There's nothing like the great outdoors! Going on a fishing or camping trip with Dad is a great way to spend some quality time with him. If your dad is into sports, check out a local game that is only a few dollars to see.
Whether you give him a thoughtful gift, or spend some quality times, going out of your way to make Father's Day special for your Dad will show him that you truly appreciate him.
