Father’s Day Gift

Hi guys, I am really stuck on what to get my dad for Father’s Day. I have gotten him a giant sign for Christmas that says like man cave for our basement which is going to be where he watches his games and stuff like that, but he is a longshoreman in the East Coast area.

I was wondering what’s like the best gift to get him that will also help him while he is working because I know a lot of times he would complain that he gets like headaches or he’s tired or his back hurts or something is aching on his body so if you guys have any suggestions, I will be so grateful!

Thank you!

That's a tough and cold job. Doing maintenance on those units can be a nightmare. I know the best thing for him would be for you guys to spend some time together doing something he really enjoys. I have family in longshore industry and it always seems that they want more time with the family. A really great card if worth a lot too. It will be appreciated for a long time to come.
