Is it just me or are dads notoriously hard to buy for? They’re the worst to buy for actually. *** lot of dads will be like, I don’t need anything, don’t get me anything, right? And they will insist that. I’ve done the same thing. *** lot of dads will just, when they want something, they’ll just go out and get it themselves. It’s kind of that cliche of what do I get the man who has everything? Here’s one idea, personalized gifts that go beyond that generic world’s greatest dad mug. These sometimes can take *** little bit more time, so keep that in mind, but. Uh, *** few ideas. Anything monogrammed, obviously *** shirt is *** great thing to have monogrammed. Uh, if you wanna get *** little bit more extreme, some guys have their socks monogrammed. I know it sounds weird, but like, hey, it’s *** cool flex, right? You know, I do love stationery for dad. You could get his name on it, and then you could pair that with *** really nice pen. If you have young kids and want to get them involved in the gift giving, go the DIY route, think handmade cards or even their own small artwork. You could have that framed, that’s fun as well. There’s great services that will like allow you to put *** kid’s piece of art into *** mug, and then there’s always this sort of like coupon book that uh that they could make as well, you know, which is like my kids have done that before for me and I actually love it. They will offer to clean something and I can redeem that, or like one that I love is like the idea of like, we’ll just be quiet for 20 minutes. But if you’re an adult shopping for your dad, don’t underestimate the value of gifting. Experiences, especially if you have siblings to pool resources with. What do you think about time as *** gift, like actually spending time with your dad and finding *** way to do that that feels intentional and not just like, well, I’m here, get him an experience, right? So it could be *** baseball game, it could be uh uh theater tickets, concert tickets, *** great meal. I mean that’s fairly easy to pull off and something that makes *** memory and you’re all going to have *** good time if you do that. We have *** QR code up on the screen, so scan that to see even more things that we talked about, from glassware to cologne, to even *** nice watch that’ll only cost you about $30. Reporting in New York, I’m Ali Jasinski.
