When buying a father's day gift for your deployed dad, make sure to get him something he can use and that reminds him of home. Don't send him a package that contains items that are extra bulky or difficult to store. Instead, give him something small and easy to ship and use.
Robe
For an extra slice of home, give your deployed father a soft robe to help him relax after long days on the job. No doubt he often comes back to his barracks exhausted and stressed, so keep him refreshed with the gift of a soft robe. Although robes made of luxurious terry cloth are a bit more expensive, they are the kind you receive at five-star resorts and spas, making them a great option.
Slippers
If your dad's on his feet all day serving his country, buy a pair of slippers to send over to him. When buying a good pair of slippers, look for slippers that feature rubber on the bottom (to prevent slipping and sliding) and foam insoles. Slippers with arch supports are also a major plus. If he's in a cold climate, buy him slippers made of wool or other heavy materials. If he's in a tropical place, cotton slippers are both comfortable and breathable.
Baked Goods
Give him a taste of home with homemade cookies or a cake. Look up your favorite recipe and bake them for him, or go to the grocery store and buy cookies to send. RedEnvelope offers a wide array of baked goods that can easily be sent overseas, such as the three-dozen Cookie Bliss package. He can share his bounty with everyone on base, or save them up for himself.
