i got my dad an auto buffer/polisher for his new mini van (he's a dad again, went for the mini van!)
I got my stepdad all sorts of goodies, like sunscreen, pistachios, etc...he has everything and loves edibles.
i got ffil the simpsons clue game b/c he loves the simpsons and a new beard/mustache trimmer b/c he steals ours!
and for my g-pa, i'll give him money...he likes money, hates gift cards, has everything, is truly IMPOSSIBLE to shop for.

I brought my dad DVDs. I have no idea what to get my FFIL. I will probably leave that up to my FI.

Hrmm.. well I bought my dad Father of the Bride Cufflinks but I’m going to give those to him on my wedding day because (although I love my dad to death) he’s BOUND to forget them if I were to mail them to him earlier. I had planned to give them to him for father’s day but Jim was the one who reminded me of my father’s forgetful ways.

Instead I’ll just call him up and shoot sh!t with him. Believe it or not, we love to do that. Just him and me talking politics, religion and stupid news stories. We get a great laugh about it and it feels good.

This is were he ALWAYS reminds me of the day I brought home a stupid macaroni bracelet that I made for him and he wore it for me for Father’s Day and the time I went off to a campout with the Girl Scouts and brought him back a strange meal we had made and he ate it. At this point I think my Dad is GLAD not to get anything from me.

Past years I’ve gotten him complete drill sets, touching cards, Navy Patches and the biggest was a computer. I think I’m done for now.

So my father this year gets …… a phone call.
