Get Dad Birthday Gifts That He Would Show off

Irrespective of age and sex, birthdays can always be a lot of fun. Get your dad birthday gifts and then to make things more memorable, play a few pranks as well. If your dad is a sport and will take a few antics played on him well, there are a number of tricks to choose from.

Since birthday cakes are essential, making an inedible one can be quite funny. Mix the cake as you normally would, but put in tonic water and salt instead of water and sugar. Use spices you see around the kitchen to make the batter more interesting. If the cake comes out of the oven with some odd odors, mask it with some frosting, but do keep a real cake handy for when all the laughs are done with.

For another interesting prank, take dad's toothpaste tube and empty all the contents. With a syringe or a piping bag, fill the tube with frosting. Put the cap back on and place the tube where it always lies. He will be clueless about why his paste has started to taste like frosting.

Create the most unusual birthday treat. Cover a round potato with molten chocolate. Push in a popsicle stick and roll the potato in sprinkles. Once it has spent some time in the fridge, offer the sweet treat to dad and wait for his reaction.

Another neat trick is to reset the clocks back by two hours on the eve of dad's birthday. Ensure that he is sleeping when you do this. He will arise two hours early, be a bit disoriented and will wonder why people are not calling to wish him. Break the news to him when you feel he is starting to feel sad about not being wished.

Gather a couple of newspapers from a few months earlier and make sure they look as fresh as the daily paper. This is a great trick for those people who cannot do without their morning newspaper everyday. Wake up early and replace the day's paper with the old edition you have and giggle away when you see his confused look. Hand over the real paper for the day once you are done laughing about this.

Gather the neighborhood together and plan this next one. Ask each one of them to walk up to dad, wish him and then promise to be at the evening party he is supposedly hosting. Have them all name the most expensive and upscale restaurant in town. His hapless look will be quite the sight.

After you have played your pranks on dad, you will want to give him a great gift to make up. A personalized whisky glass should fit the bill. This is great for those who love to have a nightcap before bed. Getting a personal message carved on the glass will make it more appreciated.

For someone with a funny bone and a serious love for golf, the toilet golf set would be great. So that one does not waste time, it combines a bathroom break with tee time. The set is complete with a putting green, some golf balls, a putter and most importantly, a "Don't Disturb" sign.

Marquetry wall hangings with images of the bass and dragonfly are great for fishing lovers. A memorable catch can always be remembered with this. In marquetry, veneer pieces in different textures and colors are used to fill in unique images.

And if dad loves to be the center of attraction at the table, the Magic Floating Wine Bottle holder would be a good idea. The chain is made to carry the weight of the bottle, giving the impression of it being suspended. It will hold only a bottle at a time.

Your father has always given you birthdays to remember. It is only right that you do the same for him now.
