A Shout Out to our Tee Shirt Shipping Department (aka: Heather's Dad)

Why is it so difficult to buy gifts for Dads?

I took a little informal survey amongst my friends, asking if it was easier to buy for Moms or Dads, and – no great surprise here - got the following replies:

“Dude.  Moms are just easier – mainly because you can just send flowers.”

“It’s harder to figure out what dads even LIKE for some reason.”

“Oh Sh-*!  It’s Father’s Day soon???!”

I’ve always been at a loss to know what to buy for my dad.  In part, I’m sure it’s because he’s relatively easily pleased.  He’d be as happy with a set of golf balls as he would with a trip to a beach or a homemade painting.  In a weird way – with everything as an option - gift-giving gets complicated. 

So – since my dad reads this blog (and clearly, I can’t tell you all what I am getting him) – why don’t you share your own great green gift ideas for father’s day?  (Or just give my dad a shout-out for being our #1 Biter Dad, since he works for us for free…)

MANY FATHERS LIKE GIFT CERTIFICATES FOR A YEAR'S CAR WASH, AT THEIR FAVORITE HANDY CAR WASH. ALSO, A GIFT CERTIFCATE TO HAVE THEIR LAWNS MOWED IS A NICE GIFT FOR FATHER'S DAY. THIS GIVES THEM MORE TIME TO GO FISHING OR JUST RELAXING, WHICH EVERY FATHER ENJOYS.

My Dad Died last year and this tip was Really painful when it showed up in my e-mail but the best thing I did was write my dad a series of letters about what I liked about him in my life as I grew up.
