Celebrate the Dads in your life, with Father's Day gifts they'll love.
Despite being a city kid, my father embraced the whole Dad-in-the-'burbs thing, and was very hands-on with me and my two sisters. I have the best memories of time spent my Daddy. From bike riding to Friendly's for ice cream, to playing badminton and BBQing in the backyard (on the brick barbeque he built with his own hands!); Listening to music or quietly reading together on a rainy Sunday; Learning so many things, both big and small, like how to paint a wall, use hammer and nails, weed a flowerbed, and take a good photograph (and develop it in the darkroom). And reward hard work with some down-time on the hammock with an iced-tea!
Remember some of the things your Dad taught you?
So, I've selected gifts that honor my Daddy, and all those Dads who share their time, passions, and patience with their kids.
Happy Father's Day!
