xxx MAKE FATHER’S DAY EXTRA SPECIAL WITH THESE GIFTS
My father is many things — a dentist and an entrepreneur by trade — but he has always been my biggest fan. When my dad found out I was planning to open my practice, he couldn’t have been more excited. In fact, he had been encouraging me to do just that for years, never understanding why I would want to work for other people when I could work for myself. So, when it came time to find an office for my new business, he hopped on the first flight to Atlanta to help me. He even helped me negotiate with my leasing agent for a better deal and offered me really great advice on how to handle the lease moving forward. When it came time to furnish the office, my dad helped me find the perfect furniture that reflected my business. He was also my very first receptionist. But, as you can probably guess, dads don’t always make the best receptionists, so after a week, he happily retired from his front-desk role. I’m so thankful to always have had a father who has supported what I wanted to do; it has made all the difference in my life. So this month, I want to celebrate all of the fathers in our lives who go the extra mile to help us, no matter what we’re trying to accomplish. A great way to show our dads some love is with a thoughtful gift chosen just for them. Here are three of my favorite gifts that will show your dad just how thankful you are. PERSONALIZED ACRYLIC BARBECUE SERVING TRAY Whether your dad is serving up his barbecue favorites or ice-cold drinks by the pool, this gift is perfect for both entertaining and everyday use. You
can engrave the trays with a family name or cute nickname like “Grill Master.” FAVORITE SPORTS TEAM JERSEY, GLASSES, OR BLANKET Like most fathers, your dad probably has a sports team he’s crazy about. So, give him something you know he’ll love in the form of memorabilia for his favorite team! That way, he can enjoy the next game with his very own merch. HOT SAUCE OR BARBECUE SAUCE SET If your dad loves to cook (or even just eat), a variety pack of sauces is the perfect gift for him! Depending on your dad’s preferences, you can choose a set filled with award-
winning fiery hot sauces or smoky barbecue sauces any grill master can appreciate.
