It’s that time of year again when we’re thinking about what to get our Father’s for Father’s Day.  There are countless ideas and presents out there to get, but when we’re on the college student budget, that instantly limits what we can get our Dads.  If you’re tight on money, and you’re looking for ideas on gifts for you Dad, continue to read below.  Listed below are cheap, yet thoughtful presents for this Father’s Day!

Pictures – Pictures are always a nice present.  If you can, get a nice frame and print out some of the best pictures of the two of you.  Pictures are worth a thousand words, and this is something your Dad will definitely enjoy!

Tools – Does your dad need any new tools?  Guys love to build and fix things, but in order to do so, they need a good set of tools.  Ask your Mom if there are any tools she can think of that he can use.

Sporting equipment – Our Dads also tend to love sports.  Maybe get him a new basketball, a new baseball glove, or if you can, get him tickets to his favorite sports game!

Gift cards – Gifts cards are always the way to go.  You could get him one to his favorite store, a gas card, his favorite restaurant, etc.  There are several gift cards out there.  Go to your local CVS to find a great selection of gift cards if you can’t find any!

Give a hand – If you’re really strapped for cash, tell your Dad, and ask him if there is anything you can help him with.  Offer to mow the grass, trim the bushes, clean the pool, clean the house, etc.  Ask him what he needs help with, and I’m sure he’ll be able to find something for you to do!

As you can see, there are several gift ideas and things you can do for your Dad to make it a special day.  Father’s Day is only once a year, so make sure you take the time to let your Dad know how much you care, and get him something nice!
