I consider myself to be a decent gift giver. I enjoy searching out the perfect item for each person on my list, carefully selected based upon my insights into what I know about the recipient. As a self-confessed shopaholic, I don\u2019t get stressed out at the holidays \u2013 I look forward to it.<\/p>\n

But there is one holiday that I dread each year: Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

#DoneWithFun Daddy is an incredible father and an even more amazing partner in parenting. He does so much for all of us on a daily basis \u2026 so when it\u2019s time to celebrate his day in June, I freeze up. How do you encapsulate all your love and gratitude into one useful, thoughtful AND kid-approved gift?<\/p>\n

The stakes are high, and my ideas generally low. We did a Swiss Army knife last year, engraved with \u201cMy Daddy Can Fix Anything.\u201d That was a big hit. He\u2019s not much of a drinker, so six-packs or craft alcohol is out. He doesn\u2019t golf, doesn\u2019t run, doesn\u2019t fish unless Easton is with him. He loves being outside, gardening, and being with us, his family.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m traditional about Father\u2019s Day and like to involve the boys in the gift in some sort of homemade effort. This year, I thought about what things Tim and the boys like to do together for my inspiration.<\/p>\n

Two things came to mind instantly: LEGOs and Star Wars. Yes, we are 100% boy in this household and Saturdays usually start with a light saber battle and wind down with a LEGO build before afternoon naptime.<\/p>\n

While Easton would be absolutely thrilled to give his dad a brand-new LEGO set (which would immediately be co-opted for his own), I think a little more grown-up gift is warranted. Something he can display on his dresser or bring to the office to decorate his desk. Let\u2019s just say I used The Force to channel this year\u2019s idea.<\/p>\n
