The Perfect Father’s Day Gift


gift boxOver the years, I’ve given quite a few Father’s Day gifts, and I’ll be the first to admit it - they really have never even come close to represent the full extent of the admiration, appreciation, and love I have for my Dad.

One year, despite my best shopping efforts, I ended up giving him a blender. Dorky and desperate I know, but what made it even worse was that it was the year that he decided that wine was his thing, so the blender got no use…(and no, he doesn’t do smoothies!)

Another year, the gift was a shirt that I liked but was just too different from my father’s sense of “style,” so every time he wore it (and I think he wore it often to show his appreciation), it was a very visible (and optically painful) reminder as to just how bad my gift was…doh!

This year, though, the folks at techedge weekly have what I believe to be the perfect gift that will not only redeem myself from past gift-giving failings but also will finally represent to my dad just how awesome I think he is.
