Father’s Day is just around the corner! Today I’m sharing a few things that Handy Hubby already has and loves AND a few things I think he’d like to have and love. The best part? They’re $60 or less.
1 – Grill Daddy Pro Grill Brush This grill brush uses the power of steam and stainless steel bristles to clean your man’s grill. {$20} Handy Hubby has had his for three years and still uses it after each grilling session. Don’t tell my dad but he’s getting one this Father’s Day.
2 – Woody’s Hair & Body Shampoo Bar Skip the shampoo! This mild vegetable-based bar works just as well on hair as it does on the body. Don’t all Dad’s like quickies in the shower? {$12} Handy Hubby has used and loved a similar Aveda product that’s no longer available. Maybe he should give this one a try?
3 – Igloo Maxcold Hard Liner Cooler Big enough for 12 beverage cans but small enough for everyday use. The removable hard liner makes cleaning a cinch. {$18} Handy Hubby follows a strict gluten-free diet. This heavy duty cooler allows him to take several glass Pyrex dishes filled with gluten-free goodness to work for lunch. He packs a full entree lunch every day and never worries about breaking a glass container.
4 – Boyd Frame Frame up a pic of the family or kiddos in this reclaimed wood frame. Men like rustic. {$60} Handy Hubby doesn’t have this but I bet if I showed it to him he’d say, “I could make that!”
5 – Oil Tanned Leather Tool Pouch Complete with eleven pockets, dual metal hammer hangers and a durable leather/suede construction, this tool belt is hard-working just like your handyman. {$48} Handy Hubby uses a tool belt instead of running back and forth for tools and supplies. Bonus: I think it’s sexy. Raerrr.
6 – Zappos.com E-Gift Certificate What handy Daddy has time to go out shopping for shoes? Not many that I know. Zappos makes it easy with free shipping both ways and a 365 day return policy. The selection and customer service can’t be beat. The e-gift certificate is delivered via email, available for use within 24 hours and has no hidden charges or fees. {starting at $10} Handy Hubby only buys his shoes from Zappos.com for the convenience, impeccable service and unique inventory.
7 – Stainless Steel Skewers Kabobs, anyone? These commercial grade skewers hold food securely and are dishwasher safe. {$10} Handy Hubby uses these every summer and I reap the benefits. From marshmallows to fish and veggies, he’s torched it all.
There you have it. My Father’s Day gift round-up. I know I’m cutting it a little close but you can always order and give your babydaddy/daddy the receipt or a picture of the gift on the actual day if it doesn’t arrive in time. Handy Hubby and I have done that numerous times. Too impersonal? …The Zappos E-Gift Certificate would make it in time!
In other babydaddy related news, Handy Hubby had outpatient surgery Wednesday to correct a severely deviated nasal septum. I think we both underestimated the recovery. He’s out of commission. As in he has been sleeping ever since he came out of surgery and he’s in pain. Normally, I’m totally fine with blood and guts {I really enjoyed dissecting a human cadaver in college} but I got a little woozy when I helped him change his first dressing. There was a lot more blood and swelling than I had anticipated and he didn’t look like himself. I did get him to eat some rice, a half of a baked potato and a little bit of baked beef ribs even though he didn’t feel much like eating. I feel so bad for him. Of course, working on the Underdog is taking a backseat to resting, healing and taking it easy. Other than bringing him water, feeding him, giving him pills, changing his dressing, preoccupying the boys and patting his leg every once in a while there’s not much else I can do. So, if you wouldn’t mind, I know he’d appreciate any words of encouragement you’d like to leave in the comments section below. Thanks!
