Admittedly, thinking of a Father’s Day gift is a yearly dilemma for me, since I always thought that my Dad has everything…..or he can afford to buy whatever his heart desires.  And for a student blogger like me, penny pinching has already been a  part of my system especially if I am eyeing  a special gift for a special person.   I can easily  focus and can discipline myself to reach my target.

I’ve learned that  my adventurous Dad got himself hooked on travel photography.  Mom recounted that recently Dad joined a group of  fellow photography addicts on trips to hidden valleys and the exciting “end of the world” which is a favorite destination for a dream photo shoot.    She too related how she got the scare of her life when the man of the house did not showed up the whole night after he sent her an SMS that he was on his way home.   Apparently, my dad got lost and he said he seemed to be just running in circles and couldn’t find his way home  because of the unfamiliar curves and turns on the roads.

Based on that anecdote, my mind already knew what to give my Dad –  a gps rangefinder which I know he would love to have and would guide him on his future adventures.  Really now, he would no longer fake a smile after opening my gift because I think for the longest time, I’ve been giving him neckties… of assorted colors and designs from casual to formal to funny  and funky….just to made him appreciate my being caring and thoughtful.

This time it will be something different and surely the gps wristwatch will be my best gift ever for Dad…….

stylish and functional… perfect gift!

To all you great fathers…enjoy your day… Happy Father’s day!
