It’s Father’s Day, time to celebrate your dad (or husband) (or baby daddy) (or grandpappy) as the great man of honor he is. What better way to let him know just how much you appreciate his Little Swimmers than by gifting him with something he’ll love.

What about “Farmer dad who has everything?” What do I get him, because buying a him a new tractor is totally not in my budget right now.

What about the pancake plate? I doubt he wouldn’t appreciate that.

I’m with Kelli! It’s hard to get someone something who is happy with the simple.

I got my husband a cornhole game. I got one painted with a base coat, and each boy is going to paint his own design on it. But he’d rather have the beer thingee, the watch, and the Pebble Beach golf trip.
