Father’s Day GIft Guide - What Not To Give.
I was surfing around the other day, trying to figure out what to get my dear old dad for Father’s Day. Some of the suggestions were so incredible, that I just had to share….
Here are a few of my favorites!
1) De-odorizing Toilet Seat
Hmmmmmm. I don’t even know where to start with this one…. I can see where the concept came from, but what I really think it says is ” Hey Dad, you’re kinda stinky, and we would really like to change that, so here, have a de-odorizing toilet seat.”
2) Nose and Ear Trimmers
Uh huh……I don’t know about you, but this one, to me says ” Hey Dad . You’re starting to closely resemble a werewolf, … and it’s a wee bit embarrassing… so, here, have some nose and ear trimmers…not….”
3) Flowers
Seriously ?
4) Wireless Weather Forecaster
Ummmmm. There is this new thing out there called the Internet…..Sites like weather.com can do the same thing for free…..
5) Mani / Pedi Set
Once again, this one just seems to say ” Dad, your personal grooming habits leave a little something to be desired..”Also, I don’t know many guys who do their own mani/pedi’s, so this gift could be mistaken for an offer for YOU to give HIM a mani / pedi… Ewwwwwwww, just a bad idea all around.
6) A tie ?
Do you really want to be associated with a piece of fabric around your dad’s neck that make him feel claustrophobic, and reinforces to him that he is still just “workin” for the man ?”
This Father’s Day, just skip all the gadgets and gizmos.
What does Dad really want ? To relax. To have fun. To play. To be appreciated.
How about getting him a hammock and setting it up for him so that he can relax all day.
What about arranging a round of golf for him and his buddies ?
Tickets to a local sporting event ?
Last, but certainly not least…. Why not give him something from the heart, such as a framed photo of the two of you ?
This Father’s Day, show Dad how much you appreciate him, that’s all he really wants.

Ok Guys. Now I know you’re thinking , “ wait a second, I just got through Christmas”. I know, I know, but sometimes it’s nice to get a little helping hand …
