But with just a little thought we can choose a Christmas gift for Dad that he will really appreciate.
Christmas is a special time so the Christmas gift for Dad that you choose should be special too. Don't pick someting that he would normally use. For example all the things on the list above are items he would use through out the year anyway.
Instead choose Christmas gift for Dad that he doesn't necessarily need (but would love to have), something he wouldn't just go out and but for himself.
Start by thinking what does he like, what are his hobbies and interests? Is he a keen fisherman, an avid golfer or does he have a favorite musician.
Search out items that fit with his interests, for example fly fishing lessons, golf lessons to improve his swing or tickets to a concert.
Maybe you don't usually spend this much on Christmas gifts. Not to worry, you can keep with the theme the same but just choose a cheaper alternative. For example, instead of golf lessons, look for a book on how to improve your game. If you can, get it signed by the author.
Around this time of year there are loads of new books out practically made for Christmas gifts. The authors usually do book signings to raise the profile of the book.
Most hobbies and pastimes have a variety of Christmas gifts at all levels of price from professional lessons down to personalized Christmas gifts such as monogrammed scorecard holder.
There is always the ultimate in low cost Christmas Gifts for Dad - The freebie.

For example:-
"This voucher entitles My Dad to a months free car washing/lawn cutting"
