My husband has been the glue holding my sanity together these days. He's been on furlough from his job for nearly as long as Alexis has been out of school. Not that he's not a great daddy anyway, but he has really stepped up in the last couple of months, taking on the role of primary parent most days and staying on top of household chores. He is the reason why I've been able to be productive and not feel like I'm trapped in a no-win situation with this pandemic. If I'm being truthful, he's the fun parent, which is why I wanted to put together a list of fun gifts for dads...and also because I always struggle with what to buy for Father's Day. I hope this list gives you some ideas to put a little more fun in your own dad or the father of your children's lives.

1. Punderdome Card Game - What doesn't love a good pun? This game will have you both laughing as you try to make the worst bad joke you can think of.

2. How to Traumatize Your Children - I'm a big fan of ironic books, and this book is chock full of it, while also offering up some pretty big parenting lessons.

3. Anti-Soggy Cereal Bowl - Never suffer from soggy, non-crunchy cereal again! Can also be used for ice cream and toppings, fruit and yogurt, and pretty much any other snack you can think of.

4. Tablet Pillow Holder - This is perfect for all recliner and bed phone/tablet surfing. I gotta admit, I kinda want one of these for myself so my arms don't get tired when I read before bed.

5. Quadcopter - We all know dads are just big kids at heart. Tap into his inner child with his very own remote-controlled flying machine!

6. Tic Tac Toe - Alexis loves playing tic tac toe. We have gone through so many scraps of paper and pieces of chalk. With this beautiful wooden set, she and daddy can play anytime. Plus, it's pretty stylish and will look nice on the coffee/end table.

7. Bear Hands Oven Mitts - I like pot holders; he prefers oven mitts. And these are just too funny.

8. Microwave S'mores Maker - Now you don't need a campfire to make this favorite summer treat! I'm seriously thinking about ordering this for my dad and father-in-law (shh, don't tell!).
