HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

“FATHER” Pa’, Vader, Alta, Pai, Otac, T’ata, Padre, Apa, Athair, Abba, Babbo, Papa, Patri

There are so many different ways to say “Dad or Father” throughout the world. However, the feeling in your heart for whomever your central male figure was growing up, universally, I think tends to be quite similar. And it doesn’t have to be a biological connection…rather it comes down to the men in your life that made the most impact and built the best memories with you. Whether this has wound up being your father or perhaps an uncle, cousin, family friend, pastor, coach or perhaps an older sibling as we head towards Father’s Day on June 21, it’s nice to reach out to this person or people and say “thinking of you and all that you’ve meant and mean to me through the years” Even IF your budget limits you to a card…this is perfection…I really mean this! It’s the energy and time you took to remember, that’s always going to leave a lasting impression and impact.

Take a look below when you have a spare moment. I’ve had the privilege of working with beauty & wellness curators at We Make Beauty and Lippe Taylor PR to gather a range of gift ideas that take some of the leg work out of deciding what to gift your favorite guys on Father’s Day!
