This weekend I will take a day off from everything else to spend some time with my dad. We will sit down and have a meal together, talk about sports, the weather and how his business is doing. I will remember being a little kid and how my dad always looked so tall (I still think of him as tall, even though I have known grown up to be taller than my dad). This Sunday I will enjoy time well spent with my father, but...before I can even think that far ahead I have to figure out what in the world to get for him!
Shopping for my dad is never easy and my whole family has to struggle to find something that he wants that he didn't already buy for himself. This year I got lucky. Earlier this year the neighborhood well at my parent's house turned the water brown. To be fair, their water is not all that great to begin with, but brown is never a color you want to see coming out of your tap. The two filters that my dad has set up for the refrigerator and kitchen sink kept their drinking water clean, but the increased sediments in the water eventually clogged the filters. So I got my dad some replacement filters for Father's Day!
Before you judge my dad's gift think of it this way, for the same cost as dinner and a movie I gave him 6 months of clean drinking water. I know it may not be the most exciting gift, but I know it is one he will use and appreciate every time he gets a glass of water. Just in case you think your dad could use a filter or two this Father's Day (or if you are a Dad and are shopping for filters) be sure to check out our special Facebook offer for 15% off your order this Father's Day Weekend.
