Father's Day is coming up on June 15th, so now is the time to consider all the Dads in your life and how you want to treat them special this year.  Every year brings a new challenge to come up with a perfect gift, and it can be tough to show them exactly how much you love and appreciate them.  With a little help from the Gospel Herald, maybe you can really make the Dads in your life feel special in 2014.  

Remember, most dads love tradition, so Father's Day is a great time to start a yearly ritual that can become important to your family. For sure,  make a point to spend some time with you dad this year, and pray with him.  It's a great day to share a hobby you love together, too.   Be sure to recognize the good, fatherly spiritual leadership your dad brings to your life.

For a Christian Dad,  something to remind him to focus on Christ may be perfect.  Like this phone cover from Kerusso for $19.  This type of thing helps him to remember to put God first, so he can be a better father.

If you have a dad in your life who has young kids or grandkids, then you can find some great ideas on Pinterest.  Few things in life make dad happier than custom made gifts designed by his little ones.  A creative coffee mug, or some art for his wall or his desk could prove to be priceless.

Whose Dad doesn't want to drive a Ferrari?

If price isn't a problem then you might consider giving pops a gift he will surely never forget.  Many outfits across the land offer an exotic car driving experience that should be a ton of fun. Exotic Racing offers packages that begin at $299 in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, but other companies can be found near just about every major metropolitan area that do essentially the same thing.  For the price, you get instruction and time behind the wheel on a racetrack.

If your dad is a sportsman, or an outdoorsman, then we have a secret gift to tell you about.  The folks at Secret Weapon Lures have a great gift for the angler Dad.  The 'recoil rig' promises to move the lure in such a way that it becomes irresistible to fish, especially bass.  You can find him a nice selection of choice lures for around $30.

If he is into gentle thrills on the water, then maybe the Intex Explore K2 Kayak is perfect for you and him to take a ride on the river or creek.  Available at Academy Sports for less than $100, it versatile enough to handle some rapids, but is great just to float around this summer and make some memories to last a lifetime.
