🎁Dad gifts beyond white New Balances

 

My attempt to make you smile
before getting to today’s gift ideas

 

Hi gift-givers! You can rely on this newsletter for great gift ideas.

It’s just as reliable as if there’s a dad within earshot of you saying “I’m hungry”...

that you’re going to hear a prompt reply of “Hi hungry, I’m Dad!”.

 

One-ish more thing(s)
before today’s gift ideas

 

🎁 Opening Father's Day gift idea flood gates – Here’s a list of thoughtful Father’s Day gift ideas that I created by repurposing my curated list of nearly 20 past editions that were originally framed as Mother’s Day gifts. Even if you read the original piece for Mother’s Day, I encourage you to quickly run down this list as you brainstorm Father’s Day gifts. We have about a month until Father’s Day (June 18, 2023)!

 

🚨Fun alert🚨for an opportunity to create something fun together in honor of Father’s Day, see the Let’s Hear From You section.

Gift idea time! Here’s a story of a great gift to get your creative juices flowing

 

The “dad quote" Gift:

“Do you own stock in the electric company?” and “Are you listening or just hearing me?” are two of my Dad’s favorite sayings (he has many more). I’ve heard them thousands of times. For Father’s Day one year, I gave him a custom coffee mug with several of his favorite sayings printed on it. My mom said she catches him chuckle whenever he’s drinking from it.

Why this gift is great

 

  • Funny, light-hearted

  • Regularly-used practical gift with an added special touch

  • Honors Dad by showing him that his favorite sayings (perhaps even wisdom) stuck with you

  • Since every dad has their own favorite sayings, these dad-isms are unique to your relationship with them

 

Brainstorming your version of this gift

 

In general tips:

  • Make it a group gift - join forces with your siblings for this gift

  • Turn one gift into multiple - have duplicates made and give them to your sibling(s) as future gift(s) (e.g. for Christmas)

 

This isn’t just a good gift for dad, also consider this gift for:

  • Mom

  • Friends

  • Mentors

  • Family members

  • Fictional characters

  • Co-workers/boss (could be a thoughtful retirement gift)

  • Loved ones who have passed (as a remembrance gift)

  • Significant others (all the tired sayings that make you eye-roll…)

 

Items you can add dad sayings onto:

 

Making this gift happen

Let’s create another mixtape together! Instead of music, it’ll include our favorite saying(s) from our fathers. Reply to add to the track list!

The first one is from my father…who seems to thrive on the eye rolls he gets when he shouts this EVERY TIME we eat a family meal.

P.S. Here’s last year’s BGC Father’s Day gift idea that requires $0 upfront and can be given last-minute. I was just a young pup when I wrote this one…
