Choosing a Father’s Day gift can be a challenge. Here are 10 Father’s Day gift ideas to show that special man how much you love him. We’ve thrown in a few Dad jokes as a bonus.

1. Light Up His Life

If Dad is a reader, a hobbyist or a man who works from home, it’s likely he could use a little more light on his subject, whatever that subject may be. No matter what the ambiance of his workspace, there’s a table lamp that will fit in. A traditional upright lamp, maybe even a fancy number like a Tiffany, is just the ticket for many desktops. Or opt for a geometric unit with plenty of bends and angles that let him shine the light exactly where he needs it. Other choices would be a floor lamp for his favorite chair or matching lights for the end tables of his go-to sofa.

2. Help Decorate His Man Cave

If Dad has a beloved sports team or a treasured outdoor hobby, consider wall art – an action picture or a fitting quote – that reminds him of the good things he enjoys. Team memorabilia and outdoor scenes will dress up his space with decor that meets his approval. Another choice is a tabletop sculpture like a brass or ceramic piece. Geometric figures and whimsical animal images are popular picks.

Do you know why Dad hung the TV on the wall of his man cave? Because he couldn't stand it on a table.

3. Some Time for Him

As you consider gifts for Dad’s walls, don’t overlook the idea of a clock. You might be amazed at the variety that is available. There are plain round clocks, square clocks, metal and wooden clocks, standing floor clocks and clocks with the gearing exposed. Whether it’s for his man cave, his workshop or the den, there’s a timepiece that complements and enhances its surroundings.

4. A Genuine Cowhide

Why did the leather sofa cross the road? To get to the other hide! Leather is suitable for the floor as well as a couch, and what man wouldn’t delight in his very own cowhide rug? Each one is individually crafted and as distinct as the animal it came from. These make a great conversation piece as a rug, throw or wall hanging.

5. Wine Cabinet

The man who’s an oenophile, especially if he entertains, will be thrilled to have a new piece of furniture that showcases his select bottles. There’s an assortment of open wine racks and wine cabinets that keep everything he needs neatly arranged and conveniently at hand. All stands ready for him to pop a cork or two for himself and some family or friends.

6. Grilling Tools

If patio cookery is one of your special man’s passions, he’s always looking to upgrade the tools of the trade. Perhaps he’s due for a new set of spatulas and tongs. And no grilling set is complete without a wooden cleaning tool that conforms to the grate as it wears. It makes cleanup a breeze and does the job better each time Dad uses it.

7. Unique Outdoor Furniture

Turn Dad’s deck or patio space into a customized venue with patio furniture choices that go beyond the standard dining table and chairs. How about a porch swing or glider where he can sway alone or with a beloved companion? Or consider a wicker end table with a hard tabletop and a storage container in the base. He might also like an oversize cushioned chair and ottoman where he can reign over his festive day in comfort and style.

8. A Massage on Demand

Massages feel good, and they’re good for you as well. However, many fathers don’t have the time or money to visit a massage practitioner on a regular basis. With a massage chair, your father can enjoy the benefits of this soothing therapy at any time, no appointment necessary! Today’s massage chairs have settings that target parts of the body and imitate the same kneading and rolling that experts use. This is truly a gift Dad will appreciate for years.

9. Luxury That Lasts: the Leather Power Recliner

You’d be hard-pressed to find a man who wouldn’t want to see one of these, festooned with a giant red ribbon, on his celebratory day. It will be love at first sit! When he leans back in his new recliner, everything a relaxed man could want is within easy reach. There’s adjustable footrest, headrest and lumbar support at the touch of a button. Some chairs will provide him with massage and heat. Others include cup holders, electric outlets and USB ports. If his phone battery runs low, he can recharge without interrupting his comfort. It’s hard to imagine a more coveted Father’s Day gift!

10. An Afternoon with Family

Father’s Day presents are great, but what really matters is the day itself. Precious time surrounded by loved ones is the most valuable gift the world has to offer. Thoughtful presents of the wrapped variety will of course make Dad happy, but time with his children laughing, eating, and groaning over a few dad jokes tops it all. Speaking of those corny jokes, here are a few you might try out at your get-together:

• When Mom suggested gin rummy on the sofa, Dad said, “Put me in couch; I’m ready to play.”

• Dad’s racy humor embarrassed the carpet. He made it plush.

• Dad was going to sign the petition against kid furniture, but then he learned they didn’t make it out of baby goats after all.

• The neighbor said he had built a three-level bed. Dad knew that was a lot of bunk.

• Why does Dad refuse to watch “The Office” standing up? Because it’s a sitcom.

• Why did Dad put desks and a whiteboard in the living room? To make it more classy.

Family, laughter, food, fun and some lovingly chosen presents. What more could any father ask for?
