It's my dad's birthday tomorrow, so this week we'll be focusing on Dads, Grandpas, and Uncles. You know they have to want more than socks and ties - but sometimes it's so hard to think of anything else! As always, if you have any suggestions for themes leave them in the comments. :)

BTW, I got my dad this. He's gonna love it (and hopefully retire all of his separate books to me!)
