For the Dad that already buys himself whatever he needs
This is when it gets hard…when your dad already has basically everything they want or need. Thinking outside the box can be fun though, so here’s some fun ideas for that dad:
Subscriptions can be a fun idea. You can commit to yearly or monthly subscriptions..whatever your price range allows. Here are a few options:

-Surprise him by doing some of his usual household chores.

Ideas are endless here, because at the end of the day, it’s all about showing dad how much we love him, and you can’t put a price$$ tag on that!
Oh how I love MY dad and MY husband beyond measure. Let’s be real, it would take an entire post to go into detail about them…which I will at some point. But I will just say, if you are blessed with wonderful men in your life, remind them more than once a year! It truly is a blessing from God to have great men surrounding you and your family…don’t ever take it for granted!
Until next time!
