How to Nail Father's Day: 7 Steps for that Perfect Gift
Cracking the code to an epic Father's Day gift? Look no further. Follow these 7 steps to discover the ultimate present that'll make Dad's day unforgettable.
1. Interests and Hobbies: Time to play detective—figure out if he's secretly training to be a ninja or just loves a good BBQ. Dive through his fishing gear, pretend to clean the inside of the boat or RV, and find out what really brings that smile to his face.
2. Practicality: Skip the quirky gadgets he might use once and opt for something that won't fade away faster than last year’s trends.
3. Sentimental Value: Because nothing says "Thanks, Dad" like a tear-jerking gift that makes him say, "Who's cutting onions?"
4. Personalisation: Add a touch of class by having his name engraved or added to your gift. You're not just gifting, you're impressing.
5. Quality over Quantity: Remember, it's about the "wow," not the "how many." One great gift beats a pile of so-so stuff.
6. Feedback from others: Yes, Dad's mates might have some golden ideas—ones he won't roll his eyes at (or maybe he will, but in a good way).
7. Plan Ahead: Spare yourself the last-minute scramble for a "World's Okayest Dad" mug. Allow time to uncover a gift that truly shouts, "You're extraordinary." With ample time on your side, don’t procrastinate until the eleventh hour. Start the treasure hunt now!

Gifts for Dad to Float his Boat
Is your dad the master of all things nautical, or is he just really good at pretending? Either way, treat him to some epic boating gifts this Fathers Day. Give Dad the gift of peace of mind with the GME MT610G PLB, because even the best skippers need a safety net. Pair that with a Toadfish 20oz tumbler to keep his drinks colder than a penguins toes, or his coffer hotter than a BBQ on a summer’s day.

These are just a few of the multiple options on offer, because every top-notch skipper deserves gear as solid as his one-liners.
