What I've Been Crushing On - Father's Day

{Lush's shaving cream. For the Dad who loves to look good}

I tend to be an emotional spender. When my father passed away in September a few years ago, I bought a kayak that first Father's Day without him. I remember standing there talking to the associate in a fog of grief remembering my Dad's advice when I became a single girl again. "Go out and do what you love doing." So there I was buying a hot pink kayak. I don't think that's what he meant. In any case, I do love my kayak. However, no one should go into this upcoming Father's Day making an emotional decision, possibly under duress, purchasing something in a hurried rush without premeditation. Here are my suggestions if you haven't figured out what you're going to get. Partner this with his favorite beer and you can't go wrong.
