I think there comes a point in a lot of people’s lives when they realize they just don’t need “stuff” anymore. It happens pretty soon after you have your second kid—I mean really, how many toys do they really need?—and we’re realzing that now, we feel the same way about ourselves. But that doesn’t take gift giving off the table. So what do we do? What do we get each other when “stuff” iss off the table?
We’re going for experiences! Whether it be a surprise or something to check off that so called bucket list, life experiences are always worth more. Here are a few ideas that we think are perfect for Father’s Day.
