Forget New Tools– Let Dad Relax!
There’s always been a funny difference between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Mother’s Day is all about letting mom relax and feel loved. On the other hand, Father’s Day is about getting dad a tie or new tools to do more work. Hasn’t that guy done enough? Let him have a day off to relax!
Instead of getting him new tools or a device he’ll have to fix after it breaks down, local plumbers have a few gift ideas to help dad relax that he’ll be able to use for years to come. Maybe one of these is even an item on his to-do list.
Swap Out the Showerhead
With a showerhead upgrade, families may be able to give dad the thing that he never knew that he wanted. New showerheads can have features like:
- Eco-friendly, water-saving features to reduce his water bills
- Rain showerheads that mimic natural rainfall
- Bluetooth speakers so he can listen to his favorite music or podcasts in the shower
- LEDs. The colors can help improve his mood and help him relax
- Powerful massage settings to soothe away his stress
With a simple and cheap showerhead upgrade, the bathroom can become his haven for relaxation.
Upgrade His Favorite Plumbing Fixture
There are a lot of jokes about dad’s favorite plumbing fixture being the toilet. But, hey, he’s not a one-dimensional guy. He can like all kinds of plumbing fixtures. For Father’s Day, think outside the box and consider these ideas for plumbing upgrades around the house:
- Touchless Faucets: Touchless faucets are an excellent gift when dad comes in, and he’s dirty. By installing a touchless faucet in his favorite sink, dad can wash away the day or the weekend project without spreading dirt and germs around the house.
- New Toilet: Ok, so maybe it is time for a new toilet. Low-flow toilets and dual-flush toilets save water and reduce bills.
- Mudroom or Garage Sink: In many cases, dad may have a mudroom or a sink in the garage to wash up in. If he doesn't, maybe it’s time to have one installed. If he has one, perhaps consider upgrading it to be easy to use.
Lower the Water Bill by Fixing Leaks
A great gift for dads is to help them relax by taking care of an issue that may be on their to-do list. This Father’s Day, look around the house for leaking pipes or fixtures and get them repaired.
Repairing leaks can allow dad to focus on other things and take some stress off him. Additionally, it can lower the water bill. That is a gift that will keep on giving because dad keeps an eye on water bills even if he doesn’t hassle everyone about taking shorter showers!
