• In 2008, each American spent $94.54 on an average on Father's Day gifts as compared to $138.63 spent on Mother's day gifts, and the trend was predicted to favor the moms the following year too, according to the National Retail Federation. Even if you did not buy a big, fancy gift for your father, something small that he could use on a daily basis would also reflect your love for your dad.
  
  

Watch

• A watch would be a welcome gift for your dad who has to be on time on numerous occasions, be it picking up your brother from school or making it to your baseball game. In case your father's work needs him to coordinate with colleagues in different countries, buy him a watch that shows time of various time zones. For a more adventurous dad, buy a sports watch, which is sturdy enough for the outdoors.
  
  

Swiss Army Knife

• For a father who is always there doing small fixes around the house and other stuff such as your bike and watch, a Swiss army knife would be a very useful gift. With its knife blades, screwdrivers and a can opener, it's quite a handy tool.
  
  

Wallet

• It might be tucked out of sight for most of the time, but a wallet holds things that are very important for your dad. Men use their wallet to keep their credit cards, driver's license, ID proof and also the tickets to the next baseball match in town. You can also load his new wallet with a gift card from his favorite store to make this gift a more special one.
  
  

Cuff Links

• Be it a corporate meeting or a wedding party, your father would feel proud wearing a pair of cuff links that you buy him. The cuff links can be custom made or you can get personalized ones that bear his initials.
  
  

Personalized Coffee Mugs

• You can either get a picture of his on the mug, some nice saying for fathers or some personal message printed on a coffee mug and give it to him. He can take it to his office or keep it on his study table and remember you every time he takes a sip out of it.
