Thoughtful Gifts for Father’s Day
(all from Etsy)
Dads. They lift us up, cheer us on, make us laugh. They accept socks and ugly ties without complaint. They sit through recitals and games and offer to be the fall guy when we need an out. They usually sit in the background and let other people shine. So for Father’s Day this year, give your dad (and all the special men in your life who have stood up for you) the recognition they deserve with a thoughtful and heartfelt gift. Make sure he knows you couldn’t have done it without him.
