The Gift of Time: This year, we are spending Father's Day at a local racetrack and casino with my Father. Why? Because he just loves to go there! At 74 years old, I have learned over the years that another tie, tshirt, or coffee mug is just going to gather dust! Do something together as a family...cook his favorite meal, visit his favorite hangout or take in a ball game together. Make sure he knows this day is all about him and you'll hit a home run!
The Gift of Green: Is your Dad an outdoors man? Does he like to spend time puttering in the garden? Visit your local nursery and pick up some greens and tools that you can plant together as a family and watch the memories grow!
The Gift of Art: Handmade items from the little ones are always welcome and appreciated, especially if Dad is a great sport! Create a family night with a gallery theme and showcase all the love for Dad displayed strategically throughout your home. Leave no room untouched and include some handmade pieces of art from Mommy, too!
The Gift of Food: You knew I couldn't resist this one! Prepare Dad's favorite meal or send his favorite culinary indulgence across the miles. With hundreds of "of the month" clubs out there, you are sure to find a club that matches his taste! (I would personally skip the jelly of the month club, though...LOL) When in doubt, I go with Omaha Steaks....this is what my Dad will be getting this year...Bacon Wrapped Fillet Mignon

This is a great list, Jen!
I'm giving my husband the gift of pampering this year -- a manicure and pedicure. He's never had a pedicure and I liked giving "firsts"!
I'm sure he will LOVE that! I bought a massage for my husband one year (from the dog, of course) and he's been a spa freak ever since...we go together and giggle the entire time!
