It seems inevitable that I approach every Father’s Day with the good intentions of giving my dad a unique gift that he’ll truly enjoy. I get excited at the lists of online Father’s day gifts, pour through the items on the list, and end up getting more and more disappointed as I scan through the gifts that either don’t quite fit my dad’s hobbies or are simply so ridiculously expensive that I can’t afford it. Then Dad ends up getting yet another gift of a dri-fit shirt or shorts. Every. Year.
This year I’ve decided things will be different. I’m going to find a gift for my dad that he can actually use and that won’t break the bank – and I’ve decided to create a list to help you do the same thing.
