Father's Day Gift Ideas - Unique Gifts for Dad

Are you looking for some new gift ideas for Father's Day and would you like to give something more than the classic silk tie?  If you answered "yes" to these questions then read on and I will share with you my personal picks for Father's Day gifts.

Does your dad have a men's valet box or valet tray? First, you might want to know what a valet box is. It is the men's version of a women's jewelry box. All men have accessories such as cuff-links, tie-clips, watches and cell phones as well as keys, loose change and other items that can get messy if there is no way to organize them. Valet trays and valet boxes were made to store these accessories neatly.

Valet trays and boxes are usually placed on dresser tops. There are two basic styles. One type has an open top with several compartments and the other kind is a box with compartments with a top that closed and/or locks. Some of the valet boxes also feature charging stations for cell phones and other electronic devices. The trays and boxes are typically made out of wood or in some cases leather and are good looking as well as being extremely useful.

The price ranges of valet trays and boxes begin around $45, the most popular price range is between $75-$200 and at the higher end of the scan you will spend around $300 for an elegant handcrafted valet.

While we're talking about watches, another possibility for Father's Day is a travel watch case. A good example is the black leather five watch travel case made by RaGar. It is leather and available in either black or brown and fits neatly into a suitcase. If your dad likes to take his watches on trips, then this is a perfect gift which he will appreciate for a long time to come.

There is one more item in the watch category and it is a watch-winder. Watch winders are storage devices for self-winding watches. The watch winder boxes are powered by batteries or ac adapters and provide gentle motion to the stored watches so that they will always be ready to use even if they have not been worn for several weeks. Watch winders cost anywhere from $200 and up, but they are definitely a prized item for those people with several self-winding watches.

Whichever valet box or watch case that you choose, see if you can get one with a personalized engraved name plate. This is a free option on some of our most popular boxes and it provides a nice personal touch to the gift.

So, these are my suggestions for Father's Day and now it is up to you to start looking for the best possible gift.

Men's Valet Boxes: Popular Gifts for Dads and Grads

If you are looking for a distinctive gift for the man in your life then you should consider getting him a valet box. Valet boxes are the men's equivalents of the jewelry boxes that women keep on their dresser tops. The difference here is that men's valet boxes usually have some kind of open storage feature instead of a box fully enclosed with a lid. This article is a guide to some of the most popular valet box options on the market today.

In case you are wondering why a man would need a dresser top organizer then consider the kids of accessories that the typical male usually uses. These include tie clips, tie tacks, watches, rings, cuff links, bracelets and many other items that they tend to use on a daily basis. In addition to these traditional accessories there are also cell phones and other small electronic items. In order to keep all of these items neat, tidy and easy to use, the valet box is the perfect solution.

These boxes are styled for men and have a masculine look to them. Many of the boxes are made from fine hardwoods and some come with inlays of exotic woods as well.  Some of the valet organizers are crafted from leather and feature watch storage. The wooden boxes usually have suede-lined compartments of various sized designed to hold the different types of masculine accessories. If your favorite man has more than one watch then you can opt for boxes that include dedicated watch storage areas.

Some of the boxes have a lid which closes like a traditional jewelry box, while others feature an open area at the top where a man's most commonly used items can be kept for quick retrieval from the various compartments in that top tray. Keeping up with the times, many valet boxes are available with a charging station for multi-purpose organization of electronic devices.

As I said at the beginning valet organizers make great gifts for Dads and Grads. A handsome dresser top organizer is a welcome change from the traditional silk tie on Father's Day or on a birthday. For your male graduate the valet box is a useful accessory which will help him enter into a new working life where he will appreciate being able to keep many items neatly organized and ready to use.

A nice touch to the typical organizer is to put a personalized engraved nameplate on the box. If privacy and security is desired you can opt for a box with a lock and key. As with most items, there is a range of prices that you can choose from. The high-end boxes are constructed with the more exotic woods and leathers, but at all ranges the organizers are finished with good-looking, eye-catching style.

No doubt some men have never heard of a valet organizer but when they receive a handsome and practical item on an important occasion they will definitely appreciate the thoughtfulness behind your gift. So, if you have a special man in your life, and you want to give him something that is useful and unique, consider getting him a valet organizer box.

Funny Father's Day Quotes

Looking for humorous quotes about fathers? Here are some funny fathers day quotes. These quotes reflect the subtle wit with a touch of satire.

Red Buttons
Never raise your hand to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected.

Jimmy Piersal, on How to Diaper a Baby
Spread the diaper in the position of the diamond with you at bat. Then, fold second base down to home and set the baby on the pitcher's mound. Put first base and third together, bring up home plate and pin the three together. Of course, in case of rain, you gotta call the game and start all over again.

Ernest Hemingway
To be a successful father, there's one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don't look at it for the first two years.

Bill Cosby
If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right.

Phyllis McGinley
The thing to remember about fathers is... they're men. A girl has to keep it in mind: They are dragon-seekers, bent on improbable rescues. Scratch any father, you find someone chock-full of qualms and romantic terrors, believing change is a threat, like your first shoes with heels on, like your first bicycle...

John Aubrey
Sir Walter, being strangely surprised and put out of his countenance at so great a table, gives his son a damned blow over the face. His son, as rude as he was, would not strike his father, but strikes over the face the gentleman that sat next to him and said, "Box about: twill come to my father anon."

James Baldwin
If the relationship of father to son could really be reduced to biology, the whole earth would blaze with the glory of fathers and sons.

Helen Hayes
When Charles first saw our child Mary, he said all the proper things for a new father. He looked upon the poor little red thing and blurted, "She's more beautiful than the Brooklyn Bridge."

Peter De Vries
My father hated radio and he could not wait for television to be invented so that he could hate that too.

Father's Day is June 19th - A Poem - Only a Dad

Only a Dad, Edgar A. Guest (1916)

Only a dad with a tired face,
Coming home from the daily race.
Bringing little of gold or fame
To show how well he has played the game;
But glad in his heart that his own rejoice.


To see him come and to hear his voice.
Only a dad with a brood of four,
One of ten million men or more
Plodding along in the daily strife,
Bearing the whips and scorns of life,
With never a whimper of pain or hate,
For the sake of those who at home await.

Only a dad, neither rich nor proud,
Merely one of the surging crowd,
Toiling, striving from day to day,
Silent whenever the harsh condem,
And bearing it all for the love of them.

Only a dad but he gives his all,
To smooth the way for his children small,
Doing with courage stern and grim
The deeds that his father did for him.
This is the line that for him I pen:
Only a dad, but the best of men.
