  this article is catered to people with dad's that are douches. real dads love sentimental stuff, anything that is thoughtful.

  My dad loved the arts and crafts gifts i gave him. It really is the thought that counts.

  Every picture that my brothers and I ever drew my dad still has in his nightstand, even those silly christmas ornaments that you make in elementary school, he still has all of those, he dosent put them up anymore because they are starting to fall apart (lol) but he couldn't throw them away : ) My dad wouldn't care if I didnt even buy him a present (I always do), but he seems to be even more touched when I call him and wish a happy fathers day and tell him I love him, if you are a real father the smallest things are everything.

  The Art of Shaving Starter Kit? Seriously? I can't think of anything that would collect dust in the far regions of the bathroom closet faster than this! lol. Father's Day isn't a one-present-fits-all kind of thing. I agree with the other posters, that most Dad's love homemade gifts from their children. The only suggested gift here that my father wouldn't find totally bizarre, would be the Swiss Army thing, but he'd have NO IDEA what do with the Flash 4 GB. Funny!

  I dont agree with this article. My dad loved the stuff we made him for father's day when we were younger. Now it's harder to get him anything because I am older but this year I am getting him some grandpa gifts lol since he will be one for the first time in august. He likes dorky cards and stuff I usually get him a giftcard. I would love to be more personal but it's hard to shop for him.

  my dad is 73 years old and we got him all the costly gifts. those are the ones in the closet. the cute cards,handmade picture frames,and drawing by his greatgrand son are the ones he likes the most. any man can be a father but not all men are real dads. i'm blessed that i'm is:)

  Okay Ladies, I agree, this article stinks but we all know that Dad's love the homemade gifts and cookies from the kids but I think this article is geared toward the adults and not the 5 year olds that are making card, collages and such.

  Father's Day is the most overlooked holiday and I think it's unfortunate. So rather than getting him a tie, socks or golf tees, put a little more thought into it. I think that's the point that was trying to get across.

  I would have to disagree with number one. There is nothing I like more then getting a homemade gift from my children. It also had some sterotype reason why men don't like these kind of gifts....Homemade gifts are the most thoughtful and take time to make. So much better then getting something they bought thinking it might be something I like. I am going to like anything homemade no matter how flawed some might think it is.
