Father’s Day is almost here! We spend so much time shopping for the ladies that I thought we could focus on our men for just a minute.
If I’m shopping for this guy…
…I head straight on over to Yawkey Way Store’s online shop to buy him Red Sox stuff. For every holiday. And I mean that. He wants Red Sox stuff for every.single.holiday. So, my dad is super easy to buy for (and if your dad is a Red Sox fan, you too should head on over and see what the Yawkey Way Store has too).
Now, if your dad isn’t a Red Sox fan (I’m really sorry if he’s not), then you probably need a few more options. These are a few things that this guy…
…my sweet hubby, would love for Father’s Day.
All of the men in my family wear these Chuck Taylor’s. Andrew, Sean and my dad. They wear them with shorts and with jeans…they are their favorite shoes.
Maybe the men in my family are crazy…but they all love big and bold colored watches. This watch would make any of them happy (it also comes in orange). If buying shoes and/or clothes for the man in your life sounds kind of daunting, then maybe a watch is a better solution. Click here to see a wide variety of men’s watches.
And nothing makes me happier than a good smelling man. Andrew wears this cologne, so it would make the perfect Father’s Day gift for him.
And if the Father in your life is techy, a new i-Pad case could be the perfect gift too.
Andrew received an Art of Shaving gift card about a month ago. Until then, he had never tried their products before. Let me just say, he is officially obsessed with the brand and their shaving products. This kit would be a great Father’s Day too!
If you’re still looking for something, be sure and enter to win Sheaffer’s J. Hilburn giveaway. Andrew wears J. Hilburn clothes to work and always looks handsome. This is a really unique giveaway!
It wouldn’t be a Father’s Day post if I didn’t recognize the amazing fathers in my family. I am so blessed to be surrounded by such outstanding men.
America got to know my dad just a little bit this last year…but I really know him. And he’s even better than you can imagine. I think I have the best dad in the world. I love him so much!
My father-in-law Steve is a great dad too! He loves his sons and their families. And he’s really, really great to my mother-in-law. Plus, he puts up with me…and I always give him a hard time :).
This is my 88 year old grandpa. He is one of the very best men I know. He came to Smith’s Surf Shop birthday party this past January decked out in his swimsuit, bathing cap, sunglasses and sunscreen down his nose. You will never meet a more feisty and quick-witted grandpa…which is a good thing because he’s been married to my grandma for 65 years and she’s crazy :). They are a perfect pair!
And this is Ken (a.k.a Papaw). Ken is married to my Grandmother…and aren’t we so happy about that?!?! My grandfather passed away in 1999 and is dearly, dearly missed but Ken has done a wonderful job of coming into this family and being the perfect Papaw for Kensington, Smith and Paisley. We love Ken to pieces!
But this guy right here is my favorite dad. Watching Andrew be a dad to Kensington and Smith has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. He loves those two kiddos more than anything and it makes my heart so full. He is my favorite father!

I swear, I`ve fallen more in love with my hubby, since our twins were born in December! Seeing him as a dad, is such a blessing. I can`t wait to celebrate his 1st Father`s Day. 🙂
Sheaffer {Pinterest Told Me To} says
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! LOVE this post. Great guys and great gift giving ideas. But I'm thinking you should just give Andrew a cupcake. 😉
Spirt Mom says
My favorite part was about your grandpa. I have a 92 year old grandpa who still sticks his nose in my business like crazy. He says "I'll tell you where the bear goes in the buckwheat." What? I know:)
Jen {Whimsy at Heart} says
Great suggestions! I've been trying to get my hubby to wear those converse for years & he won't. He just has a mental block against them. They're so cool, though! Love the photos of Andrew with your babies-such sweet memories for y'all!
Tyler and Shea Moses says
I just got a tad bit teary reading about the men in your life! I feel the same way about mine. I know you will make it extra special for all of them, and thanks for the suggestions! 🙂
Kristen Sass says
Great suggestions! Just ordered my husband a pair of those chucks! Your husband and mine seem to have the same taste. I always say I never loved my husband more than the first time I saw him hold our daughter. There's something so special about seeing the man you love become a daddy.

Great gift ideas – you make Father's Day shopping seem so easy! The pictures of Andrew with your newborns and touching tribute to all the father's in your life made me tear up. XOXO
PS – I just realized how much Kensington looks like Andrew's mom!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
Such a sweet post! I love the pictures of your husband with the kids when they were first born. Our first little one was born 7 weeks ago, and seeing my husband with her on the day that she was born was such an amazing gift! 🙂
Mandy Rose says
So sweet Shay!! You have a lot of good men in your life to celebrate! I want to meet grandpa in the swim trunks! 😉
Aubrey says
Such a sweet Father's Day post! And I am sooooo glad you reminded me that this holiday is coming up!
{Hi Sugarplum!} says
What a sweet sweet post! You are blessed with amazing men in your life!!
Team Seghs says
I teared up at how well you honored your men! Dads are the best- and my daddy, my father-in-law, and beyond words my hubby make my life so rich and fulfilled! Aren't we so blessed?!
Ps- your grandpa looks so cool. Can he adopt me?! All mine are in heaven

Sweet post!

Thanks for the idea for the laceless Converse. My boyfriend loved them!
