The 2025 Father's Day Gift Guide 💁♂️
Father’s Day is June 15th this year. Our tradition is basically a card and a photo for my husband’s office. But recently on the Be a Happier Parent podcast,
articulated one of the ways that The Good Mother Myth affects men, saying “We don’t have as rich of a cultural understanding of what it means to be a good father,” and it made me feel like I didn’t want to rush past Father’s Day this year. So in the interest of celebrating the dads who are loving, growing, and showing up day after day alongside us, here are a few gift ideas. (These aren’t affiliate links.
