Awesome Gifts to Give Every Type of Dad this Father's Day！
Your father is the single greatest creature in the male species. He is tough, protective, and inspiring. He was not made for changing diapers, but he did because he loves you. He even pretended to be Santa Claus! It's your turn to show your dad how special he really is.
There are different types of father’s out there. Urban Sales has something in store for each and every dad so you won’t have to think too much of what to give your dear pop. Which type is your dad?
1. Nature Dad
Your dad has told tales that the younger him used to battle bears and hunt deer for dinner in the outskirts of the city. He told exaggerated accounts of climbing mountains without a harness. Then he got stuck on an island for a week eating nothing but fish and clams he caught in the sea, a place where he met your mother.
Then you were born. All the adventures left for him to do was feeding you, changing nappies, and making sure mosquitos don’t bite you. Sometimes, he also does gardening.
The IKEA SALLADSKÅL plant stand is perfect for the father who loves nature. Pops can now place herbs in his plant pots stacked so he can get the feeling of being inside the jungle. Your father can now appreciate all this beauty by sitting in a minimalistic yet nature inspired chair.
Help dad reminisce his adventure days with a APPLARO KLASEN barbecue grill as he recounts how he shot a deer and fed from it in three days.
2. The Hacker
Remember the time dad made you an Optimus Prime costume out of a cardboard box? How about the time when he made you a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge using nothing but toothpick? Our dads can always think of a way to make something into something new.
This Father’s day, indulge your dad’s creativity by giving him an IKEA KALLAX shelving unit which he won’t use as a shelf. Rather IKEA hackers has used this to make an awesome work station. I’m sure your father can top this.
Once he starts, there can be no stopping him. Since Papa is a Rolling Stone now, you can buy him an IKEA SKADIS pegboard so he can access his tools for hacking everytime he needs it. Sample projects include transforming stools like the MARIUS into something that has a real log as a seat.
The FROSTA, however, is a Transformer robot disguised as a stool. You can paint it differently or you can have it as a laptop cradle. Since dad is creative, the stool can become a clothes hanger and hat rack.
If he ever gets bored of looking at the LACK side table, he can change the look of the surface. And since Laptops don’t always need tables, daddy can transform the VITTSJO laptop table into a drink bar with wine and glass racks.
To keep you father busy, you can bookmark IKEA hackers in his tablet for more ideas!
3. The Iron Chef
Name a world class chef in the level of Gordon Ramsay who is a woman. You can’t. Our fathers our great cooks. They can cook everything from mouthwatering barbecues and briskets, to sumptuous mushroom and corn soup to appetizing California Makis.
Father’s day is about treating your dad someplace fancy. He would love to wine and dine with you. After that you can give him gifts like the IKEA FINTORP magnetic knife rack. He can act like the best chef in the world sliding and tossing knives as he goes about cooking his best rendition of a Ratatouille.
On normal days, your dad will thank you for giving him an island like the STENSTORP and a RASKOG trolley for easier kitchen maneuvering.
Or he can learn new recipes from YouTube with his tablet mounted on the RIMFORSA.
4. The Walking Encyclopedia
“Dad, what is this? What does this mean?” These questions are asked without end yet our dads seem to answer almost instantly without consulting a book. Because, chances are, he has already read about it.
You noticed that your father's book collection grew larger as you get older. But the bookcase stayed the same: old and dusty.
The best gift for a bookworm dad this father’s day is the classic IKEA BILLY bookcase. It is sturdy and versatile. It will age well. The good thing is it can look good standing vertically or horizontally.
Add a GERTON / ODDVALD table and a VEDBO armchair or a STRANDMON wing chair to create a mini library for daddy.
After reading a good book, dad can rock himself to sleep using the POANG.
5. The Connoisseur
Often we laugh at paintings that can be done by 7-year olds and our dad points out that it is a Van Gogh or a Picasso. We laugh at old cars but then old pops says it is a beautiful classic. We introduce them to thumb drives and mp3 files only to be told that nothing still beats the audio quality of a cd or a vinyl.
For fathers who have an exquisite taste in all things, you can buy them a KALLAX shelving unit to place their precious tube amplifiers and bookshelf monitors and play Marvin Gaye all day long. Then add BRANAS basket inserts for the stylish safekeeping of your dad’s records.
For dads who love scrutinizing strokes of an artwork, the IKEA MOSSLANDA picture ledge displays art your father likes including the family doodle you did when you were five. They are all framed to perfection.
So, which type of dad is yours?
