For something that the father of the bride will use daily, consider a wooden watch. The best part is that you can personalize it with a sweet sentiment that will make this timepiece extra meaningful.

8. Custom Photo Tie Patch, $23
What a creative idea! Give dad something sentimental to help him think of your special day every time he reaches for his favorite tie. Just choose a photo and saying, and the rest is taken care of in such a beautiful way. So fun!
