A Unique Father’s Day Idea

Have you ever received a hi-tech gadget and were so happy to have gotten the gift, but actually delayed opening the box because you were dreading the set-up process? Well I certainly have. I mean, who has time to read the owner’s manuals and load software? In fact, I think having someone set-up my gift and teach me how to use it, may be almost as good as the gift itself in some cases!

This Father’s Day when considering a “techie” gift for dad, why stop at just the gift? Include a “full service” package for a real added surprise. Give him the gift out of the box, all set-up and working, and then offer to show him how to operate it for himself. Now he’s armed and ready to use it DURING his Father’s Day celebration. What fun!

Gifts this concept will work well for, especially if dad isn’t as technically savvy as he once was, include iPhones, SmartPhones, and cellphones; bluetooth headsets; video cameras and the Flip; digital cameras; iPod, Nano, Shuffle, and other MP3 players; iTouch, iPad, and other portable internet devices; DVD and BlueRay players/recorders; and the Wii, Nintendo, PlayStation and other gaming systems.

Whichever gift you choose, adding the full service package makes this a complete, thorough and thoughtful gift from you!
