June brings sunny days, the start of summer, barbecues and picnics. It also brings graduations and Fathers Day, two gift-giving occasions that often leave parents and kids scratching their heads in the midst of the “what do I get him?” dilemma. If you’re stuck coming up with a gift for your accomplished grad or special dad, consider giving him a walk down memory lane as a very special gift. Sports and music memorabilia are becoming ever more popular as gifts and collector’s items, and a gift of either provides more than just memories – most music and sports memorabilia are highly collectible items that will only increase in value as time goes by. If you’re stumped about what sort of memorabilia will please your dad or grad the most, this quick checklist can help you find the perfect Fathers Day or graduation gift for your special someone.
The Movie Buff
Movie memorabilia is the ideal gift for your college graduate who’ll be moving out on her own with a new apartment to furnish and decorate. Framed movie posters of her favorite stars or from her favorite movies will easily claim a place of honor on the walls of her new living room or home theater room. Pick a favorite film, producer or actor and look for genuine memorabilia – not knockoff poster prints of movie posters and ads. Instead, make the gift extra special by buying from a specialist who offers original theater cards and movie posters, often autographed by the stars or often, the producer and director of the films.
The Sports Fan
If dad is a huge fan of the home town heroes, make his Fathers Day one to remember by presenting him with a memento he can hang in his man cave or den. Autographed photos capturing special moments in sports history are popular gifts, but you can make the gift even more special by choosing a memorabilia collage that includes signed photos, game balls, sports tickets or even a game jersey signed by his favorite player.
The Music Lover
Whether Dad’s an old rocker who never hung up his guitar or a fan of the Big Bands and the Rat Pack, you’ll find a wealth of memorabilia from the music world to gift him with. Choose from signed concert posters to hang on the wall of the den or get really fancy with framed collages that include signature guitars and onstage photos of his favorite rock stars and bands.
If you’re looking for genuine memorabilia, don’t be sucked into paying big bucks for questionable authenticity. Always buy from a trusted dealer of sports, music or movie memorabilia to be sure that you’re giving a gift of true value.
