Looking for a Father’s Day gift that gives back? I know… Dad is not the easiest person to shop for. I hear you. Thankfully, I have put some thought into it for you. But before diving into that, I want to share a story.
When I was in elementary school, I remember giving my dad a sea green paisley tie for Father’s Day. I thought it was the most fantastic looking tie ever. A couple of years later, our home was broken into. For reasons I still don’t quite understand, the thief took all of my dad’s ties. Except one. Can you guess which one it was?
Looking back, I realize how GOD AWFUL UGLY that sea green paisley tie was. My dad was such a good sport for wearing that tie. Either that, or he has zero fashion sense whatsoever. It might be the latter. In any case, the moral of the story is you don’t need to buy your dad an ugly tie for Father’s Day!
