Father's Day is just around the corner! That means it's time to celebrate the dads in our kids' lives who do so much. But for those of us who are separated, divorced, or don't live with our kids' dads but instead co-parent with them, that can make gift-giving tricky.
The thing is, you want to celebrate the father of your babes, but co-parenting isn't always easy. If you've struggled to get along, well, picking out a present can actually be really tough.
At the end of the day, no matter how difficult the journey has been, Father's Day is a time to say, "I appreciate you." Hopefully that's true! Even if it's not totally true, well, the gesture may still go a long way.
Here are seven great and really thoughtful Father's Day gifts to give your co-parent:
1. This Cute Cologne Sampler
You don't have to spend a ton of money to get your co-parent a nice gift that means a lot. This adorable sampler of different cologne scents from Goodfellow & Co. is available at Target for only $20. It's the perfect gift to help guys who are going out on their own, maybe for the first time in a long time, embrace their single lives. And coming from their co-parent, the encouragement can really mean a lot.
2. A Fohm Bathroom Set
We know that dudes like to take their time in the bathroom. So why not give them a gift that goes in their favorite room in the house? This cool gift by Fohm is a very posh invention that helps everyone get a little cleaner. It's a touchless soap dispenser that hangs on the wall, right next to the toilet. Dads will love how modern and convenient it is. It's really the perfect gift.
3. Lume Cube Mobile Creator Lighting Kit
The Lume Cube is a very cool invention for anyone who creates content. And who doesn't? Everyone at least has an Instagram. It provides that absolute perfect lighting no matter what you're shooting — even if it's just selfies or if you're just chatting on Zoom.
Either way, you can give dad the gift that will help him get his vision out into the world with the Mobile Creator Lighting Kit, which includes the Lume Cube Mini as well as the Creator Stand.
