Sitting in the shade of a tree is nice, but looking down on a tree and casting your own shadow upon it is the height of egotistical indulgence. Bonsai trees are a great gift for dads who sometimes need a self-esteem boost. They're cheaper than full-sized trees and small enough to pass off as a simple desk decoration. Juniper, Chinese Elm, and Money Trees are among the options on Amazon.com for less than $25.
