Gift Ideas for Father - $1500

Hi everyone, I'm currently a sophomore. This summer I interned at a private equity firm and got my first ever paycheck.

I wanted to buy a gift for my father but have no idea what to get him. My budget is $1500. Please let me know any suggestions. Thank you!

You could get a watch or something, but honestly, I say save your money. Get a nice dinner together and have a great time. Cover the tab and say "thanks for bringing me this far, you've given me everything I need to succeed in this internship and support myself today, and I love you from the bottom of my heart." You'll warm his heart until it's hotter than the sun. Priceless… or perhaps at the price of some steak or lobster.

Yeah this. Say you have to go to the bathroom and get your card to the waiter secretly.

When I was 18 in my first real job, my parents came to visit and we ate lunch at Subway. I finally had some cash to spend and bought lunch for the three of us. My dad was caught off guard and said "you didn't have to do that." Which is the typical response, but I never forgot that moment and his unexpected reaction on just a simple act of kindness.

几年后,我上大学,我的父亲为我带来了一大堆在中国出国留学的学费和旅行费用的钱。我在荣誉学校里,他们最终为整个旅行付款,并以6.4k美元的价格削减了一张支票。我有一个晚上回家,说“这是你的钱,”他再次就像“保留它”。但是我拒绝了,当时对他来说真的很重要。

我并不是说任何人都在为金钱伤害,但这全都与“手势”有关。

这实际上是一个好主意,感谢您提及它。您也提到了手表。如果我决定去看手表 - 您会在我的价格范围内推荐哪个?

Do you both like sports? Take him to a game.

People will shit on you, OP, but I say absolutely do something nice. Your father made you who you are, and it seems like you made it pretty far in life already, so kudos to him for making it happen.

I postponed getting my dad a Jeep Wrangler for too long... lost him a couple of years ago, will never happen.

嘿,很抱歉得知您的损失。从您的评论来看,您似乎是一个好人,所以我敢肯定您父亲一定为您感到骄傲。

Try to get him something that he's mentioned interest in but never pulled the trigger on himself. Something that could develop into a consistent hobby for him. Wish I could give an example, but I'm also trying to figure out what that is for my dad

我知道他最近开始戴手表,但是他的收藏很小 - 因此,我在思考这些台词,但我对手表毫无头绪。

Download the Chrono24 app, you could maybe look at some gently used Omegas or Tag Heuers. Pair it with a nice 4 watch winder box and a book(s) on the history of watches and watchmaking/horology

Getting a gift to your dad is really nice of you to do. This is special as this first pay cheque probably means a lot to you in relation to all the hard work you've put in to date to achieve it, and how much it means to you to share that with someone who has been there for you along the way - your dad. My suggestion to you would be very biased, as my dad passed away very early in my career. Never had the chance to really see the reward of hard work paying off and sharing that special moment. Sure, my savings have grown, who cares, really? $1,500 would have meant a lot when I was younger vs. today. A lot of people will tell you to do the right thing, the logical thing, and obviously rational thing, which is to save & grow it. What does money mean anyway? What does $1,500 mean to you? And what does and will that gift from you to your dad mean to you? I think these are all important questions that only you can answer.

至于礼物的想法,也许是您和您父亲之间的联系。可能是一个技术小工具,可能是一瓶威士忌,可能是高尔夫球,可能是某个地方的旅行。只要您想用手势说些什么,这是什么都没关系。我为你很高兴。世界需要更多像您这样的人。

Taking him out to a game for a team you both like, and/or buying him a nice dinner is a gesture your father would surely appreciate. For me and my dad, we both share a love for whisky, so as gifts for christmas/birthdays/thank-yous etc.. I get him a bottle of whisky (doesn't have to be expensive either, plenty of great choices around the $50-$75 mark) that have a unique sentiment or story he can remember when he is having some.
