Give Dad the Organizing Gift

If you are searching for the perfect gift for dad, think Organization! You can help Dad organize at work, home or play. Here are three tips to get you started:

• Take digital photos of family members. Print them on your computer printer or use a one-hour photo printer. Put the photos in a small album for Dad to enjoy. Create personal messages to intersperse with the photos to remind Dad how special he is to you.
• Learn more about Dad's favorite childhood foods by asking relatives and friends who knew him when he was young. Collect recipes for those foods, or similar ones, and organize them into a small booklet or card file.
• Collect all those dull pencils in your household. Sharpen the pencils and put them in the places Dad will need them. Discard the stubby pencils that no one likes to use.

Talk to Dad about where he might like some organizing help. If you are able to help him, that would make a great gift. If it is a larger project, think about who else might be able to help.
