2020 Father's Day Gift Guide
Although there’s exactly 3620km (as the crow flies) between my Dad and I, Father’s Day is one of those celebrations I never EVER forget to stop and celebrate. If you’re stuck in a bit of a Coronavirus 🦠 time warp, Father’s Day falls on 6 September this year. Yes, it’s THAT soon!
And in all honesty, with how savage 2020 has been, I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s even more timely than ever to use this day to honour the wonderful person that plays the ‘Dad’ role in our lives. Let’s face it, they are basically superheroes 🦸🏻♂️ but with more powers! And although we shouldn’t really need a special day to be grateful to our father figures, let's remind them again why they are our one and only superhero this Father’s Day...
❤️ He is forgiving.

How'd you go? Did you find some goodies for Dad? 🤩
If you do happen to find that an item that has gone out of stock, please let me know and I'll try to find alternatives for you. And if none of the gifts in this guide take your fancy, I highly encourage you to search and spend your money with a local business.
At the end of the day, buying local may mean the difference between small businesses shutting up shop or surviving through this crazy time...
And on that note, please stay safe, stay healthy, keep connecting and happy gifting! 🎁
