Father’s Day Gifts the Whole Family Can Help Give

Gifts of Service

• Do the yard work for him. Everyone pitch in now.

• Unlimited refills served to him all day of his favorite drinks and snacks. (Save those beers until the kids are asleep, and Mom, get to the store now to stock up on snacks!)

• Let him spend the day in the recliner or on the couch with the kids at his beck and call.

• Prepare his favorite meal with each child completing a step that is appropriate for his age. (Let Dad eat it in his recliner.)

• Unlimited back massages (and foot massages if you dare). All hands on deck.

• Time to watch replays of his favorite sports team (or television shows if he's not a sports fan).

• Peace and quiet — which means Mom might have to take the kids out for a bit.

• Wash and vacuum his car for him.

• Let him nap. All day.

• Clean up your rooms. (This one benefits Mom too!)
