With Dad’s big day coming this Sunday (6/18), please resist the temptation to get him the same old thing we see in ads for Father’s Day gifts every year. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful but sometimes less is more, especially if clutter is already a problem for Dad. That’s why I’m increasingly in favor of gifts that don’t hang around for long. How about tickets to a sporting event, concert, or movie? Or keep it simple with dinner at a nice restaurant? Believe me, Dad has enough stuff so you can probably skip the following:
10. Hawaiian shirt
