Meaningful Father’s Day Gifts

<!–[CDATA[Celebrating Father’s Day can mean different things at different times in a man’s life. For older fathers, who are also often grandfathers, celebrating Father’s Day can take on a deeper meaning.  And your gift should reflect that. Rather than giving a material gift, like a new tie or a book, consider giving your father a meaningful experience instead.
 
If you’re looking for great gifts for older dads here in the Hoosier state, there are many options to choose from, for every type of dad.
 
For the Music-Loving Dad
 
Summer is a popular time for bands and musicians to go out on tour. Buying your Dad tickets to see his favorite musical act is a thoughtful gift, especially if you get an extra ticket so that you can join him!
 
For the Foodie Father

For the Dad Who Loves Sports
If Dad is a fan of the Indiana Pacers or the Indianapolis Colts, see if you can find tickets to games for next season. If your Dad happens to have grandchildren who are old enough to attend a game with him, get some extra tickets so they can come along. The experience will be memorable for everyone and Dad will be proud to share one of his favorite activities with those that he loves.
 
For A Game-Night Enthusiast
 
Many popular board games now sell special editions that improve upon the original. Whether your Dad loves to play cards, Backgammon, Monopoly, or Trivial Pursuit, you can buy him his favorite game. Then host a special family game night in honor of your Dad.
 
For the Father Who Travels
 
Giving the gift of travel can create long-lasting happy memories for the whole family. Whether your family decides to chip in for a big trip, like a cruise or something easier like a weekend camping, planning a time to be together as a family can have a big impact. Your Dad will not only appreciate the chance to break free from his daily routine, but will also love the special time together with his family.
 
For A Dad Who Wants to Get Fit
 
Taking care of your body is an important part to staying healthy as you age. And most seniors are aware of how important exercise is to living a longer, healthier life. The fitness classes at the Five Star Senior Living communities in Indiana are some of our most popular daily activities. Consider giving your Dad a gift that makes staying fit easier like a fitness tracker or a membership to a senior-friendly health club.
 
The bottom line is there are plenty of meaningful ways to show your Dad that you love him on Father’s Day. He’s bound to appreciate the extra thought that you put into his gift!
