Father’s Day Gift Guide

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 21 and right now the world is in a Pandemic and although some states have re-opened some of their businesses; the stay at home is still in effect; see CDC guidelines.

With all this going on in the world it time to spread some cheer; let’s celebrate our Dads in an exciting way. Here are some ways you can celebrate Dad in an awesome way:

Have a family barbeque – break out the grill throw on some steaks and burgers and whip out a toss salad or even potato salad or whatever is your family favorite for a barbeque. (remember the CDC guidelines; hand sanitizers, guest wear mask, clean areas constantly cdc.gov )

How about letting Dad have a day of rest; no odd jobs around the house to fixing stuff, no bugging him for things; just let him relax and let him enjoy the day from 12am Sunday, June 21st to 12:01am Monday, June 22 😊

Some gift ideas could be steaks either purchase the at your local supermarket or Omaha Steaks they have beef to seafood to sides, everything you need for an awesome meal for Dad. The Omaha Steaks are ordered online be sure to consider delivery time when you make your purchases.

If your Dad or a Father Figure or you know of a Dad that is a coffee lover how about creating a Coffee Gift Baskets; filled with a variety of different coffees or perhaps fill a Gift Basket with the coffee Dad loves or purchase a Kurig and some k-cups.

There is also my new addition to BlockParty Services are the Gift In A Box Mailers, there are a total six different Gift Boxes available and there are 3 available that would make great Father’s Day Gift Boxes.

If your Dad lives away from you; sending him one of these Gift Boxes will surely brighten his day and he will enjoy the contents of these amazing gift boxes. These gift boxes are mailed to the gift recipients will surely love.

Finally, as most people in the world go to website…Amazon (and yes this is an affiliate link) Amazon has everything you could ever want for your Dad. They have grills, smokers, coffee mugs, slippers, t-shirts, ties, tools, electronics and so much more. These products are all online and delivery times may vary.

These are just a few ideas to celebrate Dad and if you decide to have a family gathering and since we are currently in a pandemic with a Stay At Home Order. I recently did a blog post on how to have a home event during COVID-19 read it here.

Father’s Day is 10 days away and ordering items take times be sure to allow ample time to ensure your Dad receive his gifts.

Stay Safe
