5 Father’s Day gifts and goodies to grab




Father’s Day is the third Sunday in June. That’s when we celebrate dads, grandfathers, and all sorts of paternal figures.

Need some fun ideas for Father’s Day gifts and goodies?

Why not skip the necktie this year? Here are some favorites, old and new. Click the title links to find these items online for convenient ordering.

1. Cuisinart CGS-134 3-Piece Grilling Tool Set with Grill Glove Lots of fathers love to grill, when they’re not grilling kids about chores, curfews, and homework. This great grill set fits the bill for the barbecuing dad on Father’s Day.

2. Metal Parking Sign - World's Greatest Grandpa – Having the grandparents over for a Father’s Day get-together? This fun parking sign is just the ticket. 

A “Dad” version is a super pick for placing in the family driveway or garage.

3. Spider-Killing, Burger Grilling DadShown here on a trucker cap, this whimsical design is also available on tees, totes, and even a barbecue grilling apron for Dad. It reads: "Spider killing, burger grilling, still top billing (Just call me Dad.)." 

These creative gifts are only sold on CafePress.

4. Stealing Wonder: A Rhyming Race to Capture Grace – How about encouraging Dad with some inspirational lines to mark Father’s Day? 

This is not your everyday devotional poetry book.  These verses are gritty and real. Some are humorous, while others may touch readers’ hearts. Throughout, the real-life nature of God’s grace is experienced, as He is faithful, even when we are unfaithful, or simply not paying attention. 

Spoiler alert: Hope triumphs.

5. Victorinox 10-Function Swiss Army Golf Tool – This is just plain cool – a favorite gift for the golf-loving dad. Modeled after the long-popular Swiss Army knife, this tool includes a ball marker, a divot repair device, a golf club groove cleaner, and more.

Those with their hearts set on picking out Father’s Day neckties for dads might like to go the personalization route, adding their fathers’ monograms or names.

And certainly, no one ever said dads don’t like well-chosen chocolates, flowers and plants, or gourmet gift baskets for Father’s Day.

Happy Father's Day to All Those Dandy Dads

Happy Father's Day to All Those Dandy Dads

Sunday is Father’s Day. How will you celebrate?

What a wonderful time to remember fabulous and faithful fathers.

Personally, I thank God for my dad every day. Now in his mid-80s, he is still healthy and strong and keeping a daily schedule that daunts me. I wish he lived closer, but I am grateful that he still possesses a youthful spirit and a determination that doubles that of most folks I know.

My dad is smart, strong, studious, steadfast and much more. Here’s my favorite description of my father:

 Leading Without Pleading - Poem on legacy - Verses to Trace One Who Set the Pace

What’s your dad like? What do you appreciate most about him?

If your father has passed, what are your best memories of special times you shared?

Happy Father’s Day!

A Few Thoughts on Father’s Day

(For a Simply Snickers prompt on “father” and “find,” a Slice of Life prompt on "my father" and a Sunday Scribblings prompt on "guide")

“It is a wise child that knows his own father.”
Homer

“It is a wise father that knows his own child. “
William Shakespeare

 
“One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.”
George Herbert

"The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother."
Henry Ward Beecher

“When I was a boy of 14,
my father was so ignorant
I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be 21,
I was astonished at how much
the old man had learned in seven years.”
Mark Twain
