"One size fits all" is about the farthest statement from the truth when we think about our dads. Which is why I find it hard to believe the common media image that the way to make dad happiest on Father's Day is to stick him in front of a barbecue with grilling tools in his hands. For one thing, not every dad loves red meat. Also, dads have many more interests and shouldn't be spending their day of honor tending the grill.

So, put on your creative cap and think about what your dad does enjoy. Is he a golfer? A package of tees and a gift certificate to the driving range would be a great gift. Head over to the range with him to hit a few buckets of balls and treat him to lunch at the clubhouse. Maybe your dad loves going fishing. Buy some worms, a few new lures and go fishing for the day. If that's not possible, then fire up the grill and you cook a fish dinner for him.

Whatever you do, make sure your dad knows that you understand he has a unique set of talents and interests. Don't make him settle for a "beef on the grill" holiday this year - unless he is a cattleman!

I've prepared three Father's Day plans for those of you celebrating with your dad at home this year. If your dad is a baseball fan, a runner, or a gardener, read on to find suggestions for celebrating the day with him.
