Every year as Father’s Day rolls around I ask myself, “What should I get for Michael?” Since he rarely seems to shop much for himself, the kids and I always brainstorm to come up with some ideas for cool things that he would love and use. Over time, we’ve found the winning formula is to buy him a couple practical items we know he will like and then mix in a couple items he may not even know he needed!
My annual gift guide shares ideas for products or brands that my husband has loved in the past, along with things I have stumbled upon recently that I think are cool, in my quest to find the perfect prezzie!
Whether you’re shopping for your own dad or the father of your children, check out my short list below to get him something he is sure to enjoy for Father’s Day!
