Looking for a birthday, wedding or Father's Day gift for a special guy in your life? Ties and golf balls are so cliché, but it can be difficult to come up with something new and original to get Dad to help him celebrate his special day. For dads interested in martial arts self defense - and even for dads who don't yet know they're interested - a self defense video makes a great gift idea. But you don't have to stop there. The following list will help you select the perfect gift. If your dad is interested in health and exercise, try these: Self defense video: Martial arts self defense training has many benefits. In addition to being a great way to get exercise, it helps improve self-confidence, relieves stress, and has several other health benefits. There are a lot DVD training programs available, and if your dad really enjoys the self defense video, you might consider enrolling in a martial arts self defense program together when his next birthday rolls around. If your dad is interested in technology, try these: Thumb drives and external hard drives are great gifts that can be really useful. However, if you are looking for a USB powered can cooler, or a digital keychain or photo frame. You could load the digital keychain or photo frame with family photos, vacation photos, or other fun images. Although they are a little pricier, digital cameras and GPS navigation devices also make excellent gifts. Maybe you could go together with your siblings and all of you could chip in to get him something really nice. If your dad is a bookworm, try these: You can get a lot of great books for your dad if he enjoys reading. Check his bookshelves before you go shopping to make sure you don't get him something he already has. You might also find that he has a wishlist on sites like Amazon. Electronic readers are popular now too, and they make excellent gifts for dads who like to read on the bus or train or while waiting at the doctor's office. Audio books make great presents too. You can get them on CD or download them as mp3s for use with your iPod or other mp3 player. Finally, you might consider purchasing a subscription to one or more of your dad's favorite magazines. If your dad is a huge sports fan, try these: You can buy personalized sports clothing and jerseys with your dad's name on it. He'll have a blast cheering on his favorite team in his new duds. You can also plan a trip to the ballpark. Football tickets can be more expensive, but baseball tickets are very affordable - you could take the whole family and make a day of it. Go from boring ties and golf balls to a self defense video and digital photo frame. There are a lot of new options to inspire you to find something special for Dad.
