Father’s Day is just around the corner, and finding the perfect gift for dad can often feel like an overwhelming task. To get a clearer idea of what dads truly want, we conducted a survey among the fathers in our office. The responses were insightful and surprisingly simple, ranging from dads who had no idea what they wanted to those who had very specific wishes.

Father's Day Survey

We asked the fathers in our office to share their ideal Father’s Day gifts. The responses varied widely, but one thing was clear: simplicity and practicality were key. Many dads appreciate practical gifts that align with their hobbies and interests. Whereas some dads were unsure about what they wanted, while others had very specific items in mind.

Here are the top responses and how you can use gift cards to make this Father’s Day special.

What Dads Really Want

We asked the fathers in our office to share their ideal Father’s Day gifts. The responses varied, but one thing was clear: simplicity and practicality were key. Some dads were unsure about what they wanted, while others had very specific items in mind. Here are the top responses and how gift cards can meet these desires.

Outdoor and Sporting Goods​

Several dads mentioned their passion for outdoor activities especially golf. They look forward to spending time on the green when weather gets warmer.

Person A: Mike recently joined a gold club and has been wanting to get new golf bag before summer tournaments begin.

Gift Response: New Golf Bag

Gift cards to stores like Golf Town or SportsCheck are perfect for avid golfers. Rather the taking a guess on which golf club or gold bag they would like, they can pick out new gear themselves.

Tech Gadgets and Electronics

The tech-savvy dads in our office were excited about the latest gadgets and electronics. From upgrading their home office setup to acquiring new smart home devices, these dads love their tech toys.

Person B: Johan mentioned he’s been wanting to get a new set of noise-canceling headphones for his daily commute, work and he gym.

Gift Response: Headphones for the gym

A gift card to an electronics store like Best Buy or Amazon allows dads to buy the latest gadgets they’ve been eyeing. This ensures they get exactly what they want, and are able to return it if the product doesn’t work out.

Food and Dining

Many dads look forward to enjoying a good meal, whether it’s dining out, grilling at home, or indulging in gourmet treats.

Person C: David is a foodie who loves going out to restaurants and hitting up his local pub for a drink.

Gift Response: Nothing, we just go out to eat.

Nothing beats quality time with dad. Treat him to a nice meal and give him gift cards to more of his favourite restaurants. Whether it’s a fancy dinner out or a selection of premium steaks for the grill, restuarant gift cards are sure to please.

Easy Steps to Make Dad Happy

Know Their Interests: Understand what your dad loves. Whether it’s DIY projects, outdoor activities, tech gadgets, books, or food, make sure the gift card aligns with his interests.

Personalize the Presentation: Instead of just handing over a gift card, add a personal touch. Write a heartfelt note or present it in a creative way that shows you’ve put thought into their gift.

Combine with a Small Physical Gift: Pair the gift card with a small related item. For example, if you’re giving a gift card for a sporting goods store, include a new water bottle or a set of golf balls.

The Gift of Flexibility and Thoughtfulness

By asking the dads in our office what they wanted, we discovered that gift cards were an appreciated option that offers the freedom to choose, ensuring that each dad gets something they truly want and will use. Whether he’s a DIY enthusiast, a tech lover, an outdoor adventurer, or a food aficionado, there’s a gift card that’s perfect for him.
