Fathers Day Gifts One//Two//Three//Four//Five//Six//Seven//Eight
What type of father’s day gift do you have in mind this year? I always pick a gift based on the mood my dad is in lately. My own father is an Renaissance southern hipster sportsman friendly but will cuss you out type of guy. He has a colorful way with words and truly doesn’t care what anyone else thinks he should do. I live to hear him cuss and tell an inappropriate joke. He has always given me anything that I needed and almost anything I wanted.
This one time when I was a freshman in high school. I had to have a Caboodle for drama class and the Walmart was completely out the night before I needed it for class. And everything was closing at 6PM in our small town. I was upset that I would not have what I needed for class. And I hated to be called out for not having my supplies. So at 4AM, the next morning my dad and I went back to the Wally World. And when we got to the beauty aisle and it was closed for cleaning. My dad said whatever and crossed the yellow caution tape and opened a freight box and grabbed the first Caboodle he saw. It just so happened to be a purple with specs of glitter all over it. He then said lets go and we rushed to the register. In my 13 year-old mind, I thought this move was real gangster. As I’ve gotten, older I appreciate his boldness and unapologetic ways. He saw the importance of me having a makeup case and was just as excited when I was like that’s the one I wanted.
Do you have any colorful stories about the dad in your life? Does your dad use swear words? Does your dad tell a story like no one else?
- The Hipster – He likes jazz and understands the new trends. And may have artistic talents such as building model airplanes and boats.
- The Rockstar – His record collection is mint condition and his concert t-shirts are real and not a reproduction.
- The Techie – He is the type of guy who has all the gadgets similar to Iron Man’s setup. He has google glasses, Apple and Android watch and on the wait list for the unmanned car.
- The Photographer – This dad has a setup that most professionals would dream of having. He always has cameras for all the important events like graduation or road trip.
- The Sportsman – He likes the great outdoors and has a camper for just him and his hunting buddies.
- The Grill King – Watch out this dad doesn’t let anyone in on the secret sauce. He is the king of the grill and no one would dare challenge him on it.
- The Old School – Doesn’t like anything new and believes that quality is a thing of the past. He prefers vintage in mint condition items. Those Ray-Ban’s are from when he was in his 20’s. And no you can’t have them because the trend is back.
