Some Dads are notoriously difficult to shop for, leaving gift buyers frustrated at even the thought of buying Christmas gifts or birthday presents for the father-figures in their lives. Year after year, poor Dad ends up with a mass of gift cards, ugly ties, and gadgets he’ll never use. Don’t waste another dollar on an impractical gift for Dad. With a little creativity, you can score big with a gift that’s sure to make Pops smile.

Here are 5 unique gift ideas for the father-figure in your life:

Orchestrate a Cool Picture

Have the kids lay in the grass, and spell out DAD on the lawn, or have them pose in funny costumes to make dad laugh. Create fun, lasting memories dad can look at again and again. A Nixplay WiFi Digital Photo Frame is a great way to display your creative photographs, while being a great gift in itself.

Take A Journey

Pick a place Dad loves to go, and plan a day or a weekend trip for the two of you. A trip to a local sporting event, a hike at his favorite trail, or a road trip to his favorite amusement park is not only a generous gift, but one that can create a lifetime of happy memories.

Feed Him

They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Spend your gift money at the grocery store, and prepare a deluxe home cooked meal. Stick to his absolute favorites, or venture into new recipe territory. Either way, you’re sure to put a smile on his face. Set the table with your finest plates and silverware. You can even get the kids involved by dressing them up as wait staff.

Get Nostalgic

Take Dad right back to his childhood. Do a little research, and find out what was popular when he was growing up. Look through photographs from his younger days, and learn about his favorite things. Then give Dad a box of his favorite candies, and toys from the past. It’ll bring him right back to his boyhood for a little while.

Tickle His Funny Bone

If Dad has a fantastic sense of humor, make him laugh with a collection of gag gifts, joke books, and funny t-shirts. To go along with the material gifts, have the family create a live comedy show to go along with this theme. Make sure to capture the event on video for future viewings, and take a bunch of photos!

Remember, it’s the thought that counts. Do away with the traditional gift ideas, and have more fun celebrating what makes your Dad special. These creative Father’s Day gift ideas are not only fun for fathers, but for the whole family. No matter which experience you choose to share with Dad, don’t forget to capture the memories along the way. Take pictures during the planning stage, and then pass them along to Dad in a cool digital frame. He’ll be thrilled with the keepsake, and proud of everyone’s efforts on his behalf.

Are you sending your kids to camp this summer? A couple weeks of time exploring the great outdoors will do them a world of good. Summer is great, but without school to tire your kids out, you’ll find yourself with a lot of free time in your hands. Summer camp is a great way to give your kids the chance to stay busy learning new skills while having a blast. But what do you do when your kids get homesick, or you start missing them? At Nixplay, we’ve got just what you’re looking for.

If your child isn’t allowed to have a phone at camp, then have them take a Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frame with them. That way, you can send them photos of you and the family – even the family pet, to help keep them from getting homesick.

Think about different ideas that might help them out at camp, like holding up signs with words of encouragement written on them. The Nixplay app also lets you add captions to your photos, so you personalize your message to your kids. If you have pets, naturally, dogs and cats can’t text or call, so why not send your child a few pictures of their furry friends?

If your child thinks they’re missing out on life at home, try sending them some pictures of you and your spouse doing chores or acting bored. Let them know they are missed. At the end of a long day, they can turn on their digital photo frame and see that they’re not missing anything at home—but they’ll still have pictures of family to help keep their spirits up.

But if your child does have a phone at camp, then you can have them send you pictures as well. Set up a Nixplay Wifi Cloud Frame in your home and you’ll be able to receive photos throughout the week, watching all the fun times they’re having and seeing all of their friends and camp counselors. You can send photos back and forth to each other’s frames during their time away at camp, keeping up to date with everything that’s going on at home and at camp. You might joke about getting your kids out of your hair for a while, but, let’s admit, parents end up missing their children even though kids can be quite a handful. With a Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frame, you’ll feel more connected with your child’s camp experience, without constantly texting and interrupting their fun.

Discover our range of WiFi Cloud frames today, and get yours in time for summer camp!

This Father’s Day, don’t get your dad or your hubby that same old tie. Surprise him with unique gift ideas that are anything but boring!

Say It with Food

Bake a plate of homemade cookies, or his favorite pie. Make a fancy dinner, and end with a delightful dessert. Surprise him with a homemade lunch at the office, or wake him up with breakfast in bed. If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, then you’ll be golden with any of these heartfelt, stomach-pleasing gifts.

Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frames

Whether you choose the Nixplay Seed, or Nixplay Edge,  you’ll be showing him how much you appreciate him in a special way. Select your favorite images of those meaningful Dad moments, and send them instantly to his frame for a slideshow that will tug at his heartstrings. Not only is it the perfect sentimental gift, but you can also easily update these images anytime. Want to make it even more special? You can even add captions.

NIX Digital Frames

With a USB or SD/SDHC Card, you can upload treasured photos to this frame that’s sure to wow. Include images of special occasions, milestones, or any family moments he remembers fondly. Every time he catches a glimpse of your thoughtful gift, he’ll be reminded of your love.

Your Own Backyard

When was the last time he did something different in his very own town or city? Is there an area winery? What about a local chocolate shop, or theater? Chances are, you won’t have to go very far to find something new and exciting. Surprise him with a night out that’s close to home, yet no less fun. For an added bonus, get him a Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frame, and upload images from Dad’s night out!

Write It Down

Often, it’s the little things that mean the most. If you’ve never been one to write things down, a heartfelt note can make all the difference. Let him know how much you care. Share things about him that make you smile. Recount a favorite memory. If the thought of writing a long letter seems overwhelming, what about hiding an assortment of little notes in places he’s sure to find?

Must Love Books

Finding that first edition of a favorite novel can make a bookworm’s day. It could also be a book from a beloved author, or a childhood favorite that’s long lost. Wrap it up, and watch his eyes light up when he sees all the trouble you’ve gone to, to show him how much you care.

Father’s Day Done Right

Mix and match the ideas above to create unique gifts for Dad that fit each of the fathers in your life. Let Dad know how much you appreciate him with a gift from the heart – and no matter what experiences you pair with it, a Nixplay Digital Frame is the perfect way to make the memories last all year long.
