The best gifts don't always come in boxes.
Birthday gifts for an overworked dad should be rewarding, relaxing and make him feel special. He's the kind of dad that probably is juggling long work hours with family life and has little to no time for himself or friends. Keep this in mind when determining the kind of gift you should get him.
Vacation
This one seems like a no-brainer because it is. Book him a weekend getaway not too far from where you live. If you drive, volunteer to take him and pick him up when the vacation is complete. Sometimes a change of scenery does a world of good, especially for relaxation. Have him order room service and and take advantage of a swimming pool where he can relax.
Professional Massage
He's probably tense and stressed out from being overworked. As a result, a spa and massage treatment is a great gift for the overworked dad. Many spas have male-oriented packages catering to relaxation techniques beneficial to overworked men.
Pamper Him
Tell your dad that it's his birthday and do everything possible to pamper him. Cook him breakfast and serve him a nice fresh and hot cup of coffee. Think of his most favorite hobby and try to cater a day around that. If he has to work on his birthday, then plan a weekend where you and your dad do what he enjoys best. Go to a baseball game or see a show. Do what he wants because most of the time an overworked dad has no time to enjoy his hobbies. A gift basket filled with his favorite sweets or home-baked goods is another approach.
Make His Job Easier
Consider upgrading his smartphone on his behalf or install a GPS in his vehicle. Buy your dad a gift that will make his overworked daily life easier. If he's a construction planner or worker, buy a new pair of boots. A white-collar office worker can use a new desk planner to stay organized. Think about your dad's personality and try and match it with something he either enjoys or that makes his day more organized or tolerable.
