Default Unique Ideas for Father's Idea
Does anyone have any unique ideas for Father's Day - besides keychains and coffee mugs?

Tools are to men what shoes are to women; you can never have too many. Whatever he is into that is not related to work or, most especially, housework, give him a tool to help him do it better. He'll call you 'amazing.'

A tool box with their pic on it would be cool...

Might help if you give us ideas as to what the father is into? What are his hobbies? Tools are usually a good dad gift, but I know several dads that have a ton of tools and it'd be tough not to duplicate them...and a few dads who just aren't real handy and not interested in tools. Me personally, I like gift cards. Cigar shop, Bass Pro, Dick's Sporting goods, Book Stores, B&H (of course). I love when my son gets me something I can use with him...we love to go fishing together, so Bass Pro and the like are always a good choice. Hope this helps!

Well, this is for a client of mine and the mom wants to get him a gift with his favorite pic from our past session on it. I am bored with the coffee mugs and mousepads (who still uses one?) - I was looking for something original to present to her for him.

I found this. Personalized Newspaper Headlines - Fake Headlines Make Unique Personaized Gifts
Have her think of some cool headline to have printed, and have it mounted in a shadowbox format. I would love it myself, but I am kind of weird like that.
