Father's Day Gift Ideas

Father's Day is coming up and since I've been kind of a grouchy daughter, I think I should try to make it extra nice to make up for my snappish moods recently...

Here's a list of ideas I came up with.

1. Tennis racquet - so I can go play tennis with Dad sometime
2. Burning some of my favorite music CD's
3. Print out some of Dad's latest pictures and put together a photo album for him
4. Buy Laputa and Wallace & Gromit DVD and Shrek 1 & 2 - Dad likes animated films
5. Something to do with writing because Dad likes writing articles
6. Magnet of a dog bopping head plus any number of "bodies" to pop on the head. You could put a dog head on a firefighter or a doctor's figurine body. I think my Dad will like this. He likes dogs and he likes little knicknacks.

Not a comprehensive list by any means. I want to try to be more creative this year though. No ties, no stupid golf-themed gadgets, no shirts, no "manly man" tools and gizmos, I am always very disappointed by what the stores have to offer in terms of Father's Day gifts.

I like the golf idea. Go with that. Maybe a neck tie too.

Is that why you haven't been frequenting my website?

Nobody seems enthused about #1....

i guess somehow i don't see you playing tennis very much. does your dad play?

Emily said...

I'm just getting into it. I enjoy it very much...when I actually play well. The trick is finding people to play with me.

She'll be the next Justine Henine-Harden with my guidance...

Automatically, Emily assumes I'm insulting her.
