1. Power Bank
   This is one thing that is quite essential to have in Nigeria today especially Lagos, with all the traffic. If your dad has a car, why not get him a phone charger he can also use in his car while he’s on the move? Still on battery powered gadgets, a rechargeable fan is also something thoughtful, not one likes sleeping in heat at night.
2. Take a Road Trip
   If your dad is the adventurous kind, maybe you should take a road trip together. Your destination will Spend the day at the Lekki Conservation Center, go to the beach, go to a zoo, an art
3. A Playlist
   If you dad is a music lover, create a playlist of his favourite songs for him, he’s be touched that you noticed. If you don’t know his favourite, try a playlist from the year he was born, the year he got married or the year he turned a milestone age like 21 or 25. He’ll recall the songs and it’ll take him down memory lane with some nostalgic moments. You can also make a playlist of inspirational songs or gospel songs you think will help life his spirits.
4. Do His Chores
   This needs no further explanation, please relieve that man of some stress and help him with some of his chores. In fact, if you don’t help around the house or help with his chores already then you probably should start doing something. In life, the roles switch and we eventually start to take care of our parents, so take care of your parents.
5. Replace His Favourite Thing
   You’ve noticed your dad uses something a lot and it just might be wearing out. It could be a chipped mug he’s used for ages or his favourite comb. It could also be his favourite novel he’s read like a 100 times and given out only for people to return it even more tattered than it was before or maybe they didn’t even return it, all of you that swallow things that are now yours, God is watching you in HD 3D. But yes, replace that book, that old Bible, that old phone case or item of clothing that he uses a lot like his favourite black tie.
   Even if he doesn’t want to break away from the old one, at least it’s nice to know he has a backup whenever he needs it!
6. A Framed Picture
   This’ll be a very cute one. It could be a picture of you and him or of the whole family but if he has an office desk, this will make a great addition to his desk. Whenever he feels low or he’s having a bad day at work, seeing his loved ones and counting his blessings could make him feel a lot better. If he’s not one to keep personal items at work, make an album for him filled with old memories, something he can always look back at to make his heart smile.
7. A Health Check
   Some of our hard working dads might be so busy trying to provide that they forget to take care of themselves even when they feel ill. Take your dad to the hospital or book a full body check up appointment if you can afford it. If not, try a check up for his vitals like blood pressure, weight/BMI, blood tests etc. Keep him healthy so you can have him longer
8. Teeth Cleaning
   This is similar to the first one, when was the last time he got his teeth checked, cleaned or whitened? Do that for him, book him an appointment with an affordable dentist around you.
9. Customise Something
   A phone case, a pen, a diary or notebook, cufflinks, bath rob, anything! Adding his personality or initials to something he owns could also be a good idea.
10. Clothes
    You can always buy him clothes, office shirts, ties, pyjamas, socks, a watch, cufflinks, perfume/cologne, inner shirts, bath robe so many things fall under this category. Yous should have a sense of his style because this is what will guide your selection. You may want to cut costs but don’t hold back on quality.
11. A Bottle
    …Of his favourite drink. Whiskey, wine, champagne, vodka, juice, beer, pick your his poison! This is an easy one, can be quite predictable as well but if it’s his favourite, he’ll love it.
