Stepping Out with Famous Footwear this Father’s Day

Disclosure:  This post is inspired by a campaign with Famous Footwear. All opinions are my own.

I remember celebrating both Mother’s Days and Fathers Day in our house growing up. My mom would pick up something  from the store for Father’s Day, without my brother or I around. I don’t know if going with her would have made any difference in the type of gift we would get my dad though… I was not the one paying for it. My dad was not a slack-wearing, tie-knocking, flashy kind of guy. He was pretty simple when it came to his needs and he was more a boot-kicking, jean-wearing, t-shirt kind of guy.

So, Mom would normally get some sort of tool, gadget, or favorite movie. I remember asking her why we did not buy him a new pair or shoes or something other than boots. That year we got him the Rambo Trilogy on DVD, but the next year we presented him with Nike cross trainers (and my mom said it was her idea).

My son and I recently stopped into Famous Footwear and were both able to find shoes to fit each of our different styles. Where he wanted an all-black pair of canvas sneakers, I was in need of a bit more casual shoe. My wife even picked up another pair of Converse to add to her ever-growing collection. The point being, we were able to find something in the store to fit each of our different styles and needs.

    My husband loves gift cards for Dunkin Donuts and itunes. Two items he uses often. So, I love to give these to him.

    The best gift I could receive is time with my kids. In fact, I think we’ll spend it w/my dad since he prob feels the same way

    My dad’s two hobbies are RC airplanes and fishing, so I like to give him presents to help him with those hobbies.

    Stupid tradition but in addition to an actual gift, I’ve always gotten my father a box of french chocolate mints from russel stovers. And i always ate most of the box 🙂

    My favorite Father’s Day gift was the MP3 palyer that I gave to my dad 10 years ago. I used my first salary to buy it for him. He loved it so much 🙂

    I love to give the other half (dad) sour punch straws, a huge container, for Father’s Day as he LOVES them.

    The gift of golf – a few lessons for the old man with a tourney coming up next month.

    a family get together, and a few managing to come from afar, with a cookout, and laughs and a nice walk and/or ride in the country

    I like to give my husband electronic gifts, which he loves, for Father’s Day most years.

  123. Kari says

    My husband is extremely difficult to shop for…we almost always give him a gift card to a home improvement store. He is a carpenter so there’s always tools or materials that he is wanting to buy.

    I love to bake my husband his favorite dessert, Cherry Cheesecake, and then give him a new tool he’s been wanting!

    I was able to give my father a t-shirt from the college I graduated from. The important part is I was the first one to obtain a masters degree.

    I think gift cards are the best gift because then you can assure that they get what they want. Sometimes dads are hard to buy for.
