There are only 3 weeks remaining as we approach the next big event of the year aside from Mother’s Day. Aside from tribute and recognition that we can give to our fathers, this is also the best day that we can reciprocate our love towards them. This will be the first father’s day that I will not be with my father. He passed away last March 23, 2014 after battling for his life for almost two years. It’s a sad experience for all of us to see him suffer and go. Nonetheless, I have learned to appreciate him more when he’s gone. As you celebrate another life with your fathers, spare more time to think about the best gifts that you can give to him. This list outlines the things that you can buy, and the things that are priceless and would not usually come on price tags.

Mugs as gifts may seem to be overrated since this is one of the cheapest gifts that you can find in the store, but try something different. You can actually buy mugs that have no designs on it. With a little creativity you can actually paint something that actually represents your father’s personality. You can actually watch tutorial online so it can still be presentable. This is also special to those kids who do not have budget to buy something worth their budget especially if they are still studying.
