What are the top fly fishing gifts for Father’s Day 2009? Chris Daughters from Caddisflyshop.com has you covered.
It’s the time of year when you start to think about finding the perfect Fathers day gift for you and the kids to give to your spouse. Or maybe you are trying to find something special for your Dad, Grandfather, or Father-In-Law. This same challenge presents itself year after year as you work down the list of the same old ordinary gifts—power tools, something for the car, or a bottle of wine. Is it any surprise that those Fathers day gifts are pretty much forgotten as soon as they’re opened? It really doesn’t have to be that way. You can create the perfect Fathers day gift experience when you select an extreme adventure as your Fathers day gift. Fathers Day gift extreme excursions are truly once in a lifetime adventures that are the perfect way to show Dad how much you care and how much you appreciate all he does for the family day in and day out.
When you decide to reward Dad with an extreme Fathers day gift excursion you are opening up a whole new world of adventure and excitement. You can select from any one of a number of spine tingling, pulse pounding, adrenaline inducing activities that will chase away the stresses of every day life. At the same time, an extreme Fathers day gift excursion will show Dad just how much you care. And isn’t that what Fathers Day is really all about?
So which Fathers Day gift adventure should you choose? Well, that all depends on the type of activity you think that Dad will really like. If he is the type that enjoys motor sports then the perfect tonic would be a day at rally school or a trip down the track in a V8 Supercar. Maybe he’s more of a water lover. If that’s the case then a trip down the whitewater in a kayak or a raft could be the ticket. For the Dad that prefers the thrill of air travel, how about a paragliding experience or a parachute jump? The point is, when you select an extreme Fathers Day gift adventure in lieu of the same old thing, you are giving Dad the adventure of a lifetime.
It’s a pretty good bet that you have more than one Dad to buy for. If that’s the case then you will find that extreme adventures make the ideal Fathers day gift for all of the Dads on your list. You can make it even more special by making it a group outing for all these terrific men. Not only will each one get the adventure of a lifetime, they will have others to share it with. As they tell everyone else in the family about their unique experience, you’ll see the glee in their eyes and hear the excitement in their voices. It will be like you are giving them their Fathers day gift all over again each time they look back on their day and remember the thrills and excitement. Now isn’t that better than a necktie?
I found a video that illustrate the fathers day gifts. I hope this video can explain more our understanding about fathers day gifts

It is totally up to you whether or not you get him a father's day gift. He would feel better about getting something if it was something that YOU wanted him to have rather than something that you feel obligated to get him.
I've thought deeply and carefully about this question, especially since it's universal and touches thousands if not hundred's of thousands of people…. and find no easy solution.
Living for now (i.e., making a today decision), for today, as your children are doing given that the pains they feel are quite fresh, can become a sort of virtuous and self righteous principal, one that can through time become an albatross that burdens life as opposed to intensifying and clarifying it. What is needed is a long view of things… a view of the sacredness of this relationship even while no one is getting along and everyone is hurting for the moment.
I actually see this as a dance where one person takes the lead (your children today) while the music plays. A good dancer allows the music to take over and becomes absorbed in the music (of life). I'm a terrible dancer, and the music never takes over when I try- instead I try to rationally do a 1…2…3…4 step that's mechanical, stiff and out of tune with the beat. The secret in the dance, as in this decision, is to allow the music (in this case a life of many years for everyone involved) and not just the pain of the moment or the year or 2 years, to dictate lifelong decisions. A decision to not give him a gift is prudent, it's rational and most likely just in everyone's eyes (except their father)…. but, it also comes at an extremely expensive price for everyone as life progresses. I think that simply allowing them to choose to ignore the day, no matter how right and just this may be, is a shallow, self serving method for delivering pain or a strongly unspoken message to him, whether deserved or not. I wonder what message is internalized from this experience.
Empathy is what is needed- an empathy that recognizes the impact of this decision on him and both of your children. To refuse to give him a gift (which is an offering of life to the relationship) can cause a hardening of their emotional arteries, and if they develop the habit of reacting from pain and fear over time through these types of decisions, a sort of rigor mortis will slowly set in and everyone now comes to refuse and reject the relationship, opting for a dead one as opposed to attending to the limited living one that already exists.
The solution is not to close yourselves off, but to develop the courage to allow the relationship, no matter how difficult it is now, to evolve and possibly, maybe, some day, at some time, in some lifetime moment, to remain open. And this is done thru the giving of gifts, no matter how painful this may be today!
Jointly buy him a gift and it can be delivered by you or them… but it should be delivered in the spirit of forgiveness and with an open heart.

Her folks will never agree to let you marry her….you are too old for her.You must understand that the age difference may not matter much now in a few years it will. She needs to find someone of her faith that will be accepted by her family. Sorry but it would be very sad if you came between her and her folks and her faith.
When I was 12, I got my Dad a Chess Board. Yeah, it was cheap, but we play on that very same Chess Board today. I am in my 40's now. (You can craft your own Chess/Checkers Board too.)
Not only was it a great gift for Father's Day, but we share quality time together.
Good Luck!
oh my dear Lord.. i almost came in my pants D=
Add to any gift a list of the reasons why you appreciate him. Perhaps have it inscribed on a wall plague.
Please don't get a joke card. In my 20+ years of working with fathers, it has been rare that a joke card that makes fun of his abilities is really appreciated.

APPRECIATION FOR JOB WELL DONE IS WHAT FATHERS WANT TO HEAR
DEAR ABBY: Today is Father's Day, so why don't we try to do more for dear old Dad than give him the usual greeting card that promotes the idea that all dads are imbeciles, followed by a collect call to see what he thought of the card. (Father's Day is the day when the most collect calls are made.)
We should treat our fathers the way we treat our mothers on Mother's Day and show them we appreciate them for being there. Yes, you probably tell your father all the time that you love him, but the minds of men work differently. Anyone can say "I love you," but as men, knowing that we are appreciated for a job well done is what really gets us teary-eyed.
Something else you can do — especially you sons out there (but daughters can do it, too) — is to make sure Dad has been to the doctor for a checkup, including depression screening. This can go a long way toward making sure he's here on Father's Day next year.
I wasn't raised by my father, but by a stepfather. Although we did not see eye-to-eye on many things, I would not be the person I am today if it were not for him. This man, who spent years climbing on top of heavy construction equipment to prepare the ground for many of the homes, businesses, roads and highways of Southern California, now finds it difficult to get into a car. Although none of the houses or roads have his name on them, they are all testaments to his life and the lives of men like him.
So today, let's do something extra for Dad, without him pulling out his wallet to pay for it. — George McCasland, Overland Park, Kansas
