Just like we use Mother’s Day to thank the maternal figures who made us into the people we are, we also take a day to celebrate the men who raised us. From fathers and granddads to uncles and stepdads, Father's Day is a fantastic opportunity to honor our father figures and show our appreciation.
Just as there are many kinds of men who have played significant roles in our lives, there are just as many types of dads, each with their own unique passions. So, be sure to pick a Father’s Day gift that you know will speak to his heart! Here are a few of our favorite picks for different kinds of dads:
You don’t have to look far to find a father who’s a petrol-head! The roar of the engine, the smell of gasoline, the exhilaration of speed or power — what’s not to love about cars? So, combine a vase or pot in the shape of an iconic vehicle with some beautiful flowers or cacti to create the perfect present. We’ve got muscle cars like Mustang and Camaro for the muscle car fans and Ford and Chevy pickup trucks for the dads who like to get their hands dirty.
Not every dad has a green thumb, but we have superb gift choices for the ones who do! Consider a houseplant that your father can nurture for years to come, just as he raised you! The Serene Retreat arrangement boasts five different plants, including a Boston fern, peace lily and more. Or, opt for the Medium Dish Garden that contains dracaena, ivy and syngonium. Good Luck Bamboo or a Stately Croton are also classics!
From football and basketball to tennis, golf and lacrosse, plenty of dads absolutely adore sports! If your father falls into this category, you’ll want to check out the Take Me Out to the Ballgame gift basket. It’s full of delicious treats such as nuts, pretzels and root beer. It even has a baseball!
Why not decorate Dad’s desk with a stunning plant or floral arrangement? We’ve got Opulent Orchids or a bold Imperial Purple Orchid for the fan of more exotic things in life. You can’t go wrong with some fresh flowers, either — the Blue Caribbean arrangement features luminous yellow Asiatic and Peruvian lilies alongside scarlet gerberas and spray roses. Alternatively, choose the Beautiful in Blue bouquet with cream roses, lilies and chrysanthemums if he prefers something more muted.
Teleflora has something for every dad, so check out our Father’s Day gifts to find the one that’s right for yours!
