Written by a mother, for fathers.
Listen: I’m an excellent gift giver. I have been told countless times that I have a knack for gift-giving… and not just by my husband and kids.
I say this not to toot my own horn, but to inform you, gentlemen, that you’re in the right place (especially if you’re reading this because your lady sent you the link). While I am indeed a woman, my thought process tends to be rather masculine; you won’t be bored with my life story before you get to the “recipe,” nor will you be given a paragraph about why each item changed my life. Your guide is divided into price brackets, and each item will have a brief “who this is for/why this item” attached to it, and that’s all.
Let’s dive in:
