Happy Friday Goodwill Family! Time to give yourself a pat on the back! You’ve exceeded your expectations for this week, took on seemingly impossible challenges, and made it to Friday! Go celebrate with your friends and family, buy yourself something (at Goodwill obviously!) treat yourself (or your dad!)
Finding the right gift to show Dad that you care is a difficult thing to do and only gets harder as his super-Dad years stack up. If they could, my father figures could build cities, states, and maybe even countries with the amounts of socks, ties, and car detailing accessories given to them for Father’s Day! Although socks and ties are the official Father’s Day gifts, each year you want to add some flavor or a new twist to the anticipated gift. That’s where we come in.
To create a creative, memorable piece, grab a cute, but inexpensive, basket from a Goodwill location and go to town filling it with all of his favorites. The basket can be reused around the house after for organization that fits into your décor scheme, but that’s just the cherry on top. The real gifts are the sweet printable cards that you can download and have family members fill out to be included in the basket. Kiddos can draw dad (or grandpa) and share their favorite things about him. More than the treats or usefulness of the basket, Dad will have these thoughtful mementos to hold forever.
Or, shop online for his favorites while also giving back to Goodwill! With Amazon Smile, it allows you to chose a charity or non-profit of your choice that will receive a portion of your purchase while shopping on Amazon.com.
