| Fishing for Gifts for Dad? |
|
provider writes, "Dads tend to be low-maintenance when it comes to Father's Day gifts, according to recent findings by the National Retail Federation. Where Moms are likely to appreciate luxury items like jewelry or a trip to the spa, men like leisurely goods for barbecuing, boating, fishing or watching a ballgame. "

If you want to get Dad a gift for his favorite outdoor activity, here are some Father's Day suggestions for Dads of any age.
Fishing gear that floats is ideal for anglers. XTools sells a value pack with 6 1/2-inch floating bent-nose pliers, a 10-inch mini E-Z release de-hooker and a convenient holder that clips on Dad's belt. You can find these gadgets at many national boating and fishing retailers for less than $30.
The Tube 'N Go Package is the perfect water sports package for an active Dad. West Marine has a special during the month of June and for under $80 you get a high performance tube, foot pump, tow rope, life jacket and Aquazooka, a water bazooka that shoots up to 60 feet. Buy Dad the gift and the entire family can enjoy a weekend of fun.
To help Dad plot the ultimate fishing trip, Garmin's new GPSMAP 498 combination fish finder and chart plotter is ready to launch, right out of the box. Preloaded with cartography for the U.S. coastal areas and Hawaii, the unit's split-screen viewing of map and sounder data lets you track your trip while searching for schools of Dad's favorite fish.
If you want to make Dad the envy of all his friends, get him an Igloo Audio Cooler. Featuring the official logo of different NCAA universities, audio coolers play the school's fight song whenever the lid is opened. It's ideal for the home, patio, beach and, of course, tailgating.
Or you could grab a paddle and skedaddle with Dad for the weekend in a kayak or canoe. New West Marine inflatable kayaks have unique fixed rigid forms in the bow and stern to cut through the water for performance similar to a hard shell kayak. Light weight inflatable kayaks stow compactly in the trunk of your car for easy transport to your favorite lake or stream.
Nearly two-thirds of consumers plan on purchasing at least one gift card this Father's Day, so if you're fresh out of ideas, let him pick out something he really wants with a gift card. Plus, gift cards are available in various amounts and are ideal for any budget.
