Who’s Your Daddy?

A Father`s Day Gift Guide

Dad’s come in many shapes, sizes and personalities but one thing they all have in common is that they are super hard to buy for!  I always find it so challenging to find something great for my dad.  Yes, yes, I know he will always love a case of beer but that doesn’t exactly shout out “I love you and thanks for being a great dad” does it?  Here are some of the types of dad’s that might be out there in our universe.

The Most Powerful Dad in the Galaxy!

Darth Vader dad is a man of mystery.  Sure you know a lot about him but it is really only what he wants you to know – that he is powerful and that you should never cross him.  If you think straight A’s, varsity athletics, or charity work is going to impress this dad think again!  You had better get you a** home on time and don’t ever speak back to him or your mother. He rules with a heavy hand and has an empire to back him up. There really is only one gift for this dad – a miniature version of himself. Luke may the force be with you!
