I remember my dad as the guy I went to when my swivel-waisted fashion doll broke in half. It took him a bit of tinkering but fix it he did and it stayed fixed. Pop was the typical 50’s father, the guy who cut the grass on the weekends, dug up the potatoes in our garden patch and built a small wooden trailer to follow behind my brother’s bike on his paper route. Whether your dad’s a Mr.-Fix-It or a more cerebral kind of guy, he deserves recognition on his special day. Here are 3 dad-worthy gift ideas from the dollar store to help spark some ideas for Father’s Day this year.
