When it comes to purchasing father's day presents, it goes one of two ways...
Option 1: Your dad is easy going and will love anything you give him; even if it's a hand-made card you sneezed on and delivered a week late.
Option 2: My father. The man has everything. EVERYTHING. He makes a list at Christmas and then buys himself things off of it between Thanksgiving and Christmas [true story].
So, if your pops is easy-to-please or a total pain-in-the-arse (love you, dad!), here are some surefire options for any dad!
My dad (and husband) are in the sun a lot. They love to fish and be outdoors, but we have a pretty bad track record for needing precancerous moles removed. So, when I run across a good UPF long-sleeve shirts, I snatch them up. This one is inexpensive, comes in a lot of colors, and I am told is not hot, like some others we've tried. We've got the arctic blue and pearl gray colors; we sized up for a looser fit.
Wireless Charger
On the flip-side, if your dad is a tech guy who doesn't get to spend much time outdoors, THIS wireless charger is an upgraded option to keep his desk looking boss
Just buy these. I swear, the simplicity of a man not having to take the hanger off the rod to retrieve his pants is (apparently) brilliant. Frankly, if it means less ironing/drycleaning, it's a present for everyone in the house. These hangers are robust, nonslip, and prevent the frumpy back-of-the-knee creases.
My father (and husband...again..damn this is concerning) is addicted to paper towels. My friend Kate cut her finger wide open on our boat once and my dad bandaged it with paper towels and duct tape...this was not a large boat, either. Regardless, then man must have paper towels near him to be comfortable. If your father, or husband, is equally obsessed with the handy-dandy-picker-uper, then you will inherit the farm with this gift. There is nothing worse than wasting the precious paper towels with a sub-par paper towel dispenser. Bonus, this one provides a satisfying ratcheting sound as you use it. To be honest, we own two...
Is your pops an "I got this" kind of guy? Is he always at the ready with his pickup to help out any damsel in distress? Then he needs one-man ratchet straps. Take it from a girl who was going 70mph around the beltline when a brand new grill flew out of the back of a [borrowed] pickup....RATCHET STRAPS SAVE LIVES! No one died that day, but there may have been a few distressed drivers and one really happy scrap yard guy. Never will I ever use the dental-floss that Lowe's provides for tie-downs; and neither should your father! Bonus, because of the retracting nature of these, you look like a pro. No weird ratchet-strap-tail flagging you down the highway.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! That's all for this week.
xoxo CC
