Father’s Day Gifts with a Theme
Is your dad going on a trip? Buy him a pair of sunglasses, a hat, a camera bag and a book of sites for where he’s going (or wants to go) Does your dad do a lot of driving? How about an audio book, a travel mug and a Starbucks gift card? Does your dad like to putter around in the yard? How about a weed puller, a bag of grass seed and some lawn fertilizer? Try a “Dad’s” brand theme: Dad’s Root Beer, Dad’s Oatmeal Cookies, etc. Go with a bathroom theme: Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader, some 3-ply toilet paper and a can of air freshener
