Modern Mom Probs Father’s Day Gift Guide
By: Tara Clark
If your husband/partner is anything like mine, he wants nothing which makes him super easy to buy for, right? Wrong.
So what do you get for the man who just wants some peace and quiet? Loud power tools, maybe?
Here are my suggestions for the notoriously-hard-to-shop-for-yet-very-much-appreciated dad in your life!
Power Washer
Have you ever SEEN a man with a power washer in his hands? It’s a scene of pure joy. Give your man the gift he wants… the ability to have a clean fence and the power of 2030 Pound per Square Inch in his hands.
Story Legacy
If there is one thing Dads love, it’s sharing a good family story. “Remember that time…?”
Now you can forever capture and cherish these stories with Story Legacy, a new personalized service that records your family’s most treasured memories. Story Legacy makes the experience easy, meaningful, and FUN!
From a pre-recording consultation to their “Questions For Great Stories,” the team at Story Legacy thinks of everything to make sure families understand and feel comfortable with the process.
With the family recording session, you get 2 hours to record up to 8 stories. You can use the session to capture your stories, or you can gift the session to an older family member, like Grandpa, to capture his stories. Or you can do a combination of the two. It’s totally up to you.
The Family Facilitator provides over 100 questions as thought starters for you, such as:
- Where are your grandparents from?
- What makes you proud of your family?
- What traditions do you celebrate?
- What are some personality traits that pass down through the generations?
- What are your most vacation memorable moments?
There are several packages to choose from:
- The Most Popular and Versatile Session: Perfect for family or friends. This 2-hour Zoom session allows you to record up to 8 stories, each in a separate video. Includes a 20-minute video consultation with a Family Facilitator.
- Memory Loss or Other Health Issues: This session uses 3 shorter sessions (45-minutes) to make it easier for your loved one. Includes a 20-minute video consultation with a Family Facilitator who will share their special process for memory and other health issues.
- Create a Special Video as a Gift: With this session, you get a 30-minute Zoom session to record one story, plus you can edit up to 10 photos into the video that help tell the story.
I really wish I had this when my grandfather was alive to record his personal narratives of experiencing the Great Depression and serving in WWII. It would’ve been a video I would proudly show my son. Story Legacy is the perfect Father’s Day gift for the man you love and respect.
Father-ish Book
Father-ish: Laugh-Out-Loud Tales From a Dad Trying Not to Ruin His Kids’ Lives by Clint Edwards is a hilarious, relatable and heart-warming account of fatherhood. Clint’s stories will have your man laughing out loud (and then you’ll want to borrow it later). It’s a must-read for any father!
Aviator Sunglasses
Make Dad feel like Maverick this year. Gift him a pair of these sweet aviator sunglasses from Columbia and he’ll be so confident he can’t help but quote lines from Top Gun.
New Balance Shoes
Nothing says Dad like some clean New Balance shoes. Get him the ones featuring the classic logo branding and 80’s inspired style. He’s going to love the lightweight midsole and comfort insert for underfoot cushioning. Pair these cool sneakers with the sweet aviator sunglasses and WATCH OUT, WORLD!
Death Wish Coffee Coffee Co.
In our house, the morning starts with coffee. Period. We have dabbled in every brand of coffee, from high-end to store-bought. The truth is, the variety of coffees and the amount of companies making high quality coffee can be a bit overwhelming.
Enter Death Wish Coffee Coffee Co. Not only is their branding awesome and totally badass, but this coffee will grow hair on his chest. I recommend the World’s Strongest Coffee Medium Roast. It is everything they say it is in the most amazing way!
Pair this coffee and that power washer and your house will be cleaned in a fraction of the time.
Inflatable Hot Tub
Ok, maybe you’ve saved up for Father’s Day this year. Maybe you are ready to splurge on something big for both of you. Here we have the Bestway SaluSpa Miami Inflatable Hot Tub, 4-Person AirJet Spa. Enjoy the ultimate spa experience with none of the commitment of a permanent structure in your backyard.
Who says you can’t enjoy Father’s Day gifts too?!
