I once picked out a larger than life pink paisley teal tie for my dad for Father’s Day. This fine specimen of the early 90′s was bright, bold, and exactly what I thought my dad needed for his business trips. Each trip thereafter he managed to pack this beaut in his tie case. To this day, I vividly remember noticing it tucked in between the other more subdued ties and thinking, wow Dad totally loved that tie, he takes it on every trip, rad. Looking back, I’m doubtful he actually ever wore it (dear lord, I hope not), but he made sure that I always saw it packed in his suitcase. The memory is such a sweet one - it’s amazing what we carry with us from our childhood. It’s a good reminder to be kind to your kids, they remember EVERYTHING!
It’s hard to buy for Dads for Father’s Day – at least I have always thought so. Mine always seems to have everything he needs and thinking of something unique, unusual, useful seems daunting. Queue the WheelEasy - yes, this is totally the part where I write a shameless plug for our products – but here is the deal, the thing is awesome, your dad will love it. Just this weekend I watched my dad struggle with a huge standard wheelbarrow. The thing looked so cumbersome and back-breaking, all I could think about was how easy our WheelEasy is to maneuver. Father’s day is June 19th. So this year, forgo the ties, the electronics, the golf clubs – go straight for the WheelEasy. The unique canvas barrow comes in two different sizes and I can pretty much guarantee that your dad won’t need to pretend to like it! Need more info – check it here.
