2 Father's Day Gift Ideas & $200 Cash Giveaway!

When it comes to celebrating the special dads in your life, where does one begin? Finding the perfect gift for Father's Day creeps up on me every single year and every year I struggle to find the one perfect gift for both my dad and my husband that truly shows just how much I appreciate them. 
It's no secret that shopping for men is a difficult endeavor. If you're anything like me, there are three specific categories from which you typically choose gifts for the special men in your life. These categories are: 
1. Power Tools: Because nothing says "thank you for being such an incredible father to our children" like a belt sander. 
2. Grilling Accessories: Because a brand new spatula, tongs and apron really does scream, "thank you for all of the blood, sweat and tears you poured into raising me over the last twenty-something years."
3. Clothes: Because if the dads in your life are anything like the dads in mine, they rarely buy anything for themselves, clothing included. I can't remember the last time my husband purchased an item of clothing for himself. Actually, scratch that. I can remember and it was back in 2009. 

That's why it seemed only fitting that part of my husband's Father's Day gift come from Castaway Clothing. Nantucket-based and family-owned, Castaway Clothing is known for their traditional American coastal clothing style. 
With one look at their catalog, I was immediately smitten with their wide array of t-shirts, embroidered shorts, gingham button down shirts and polos. Having just purchased a boat with his brothers, I knew my husband would be in dire need of some new beach and dock-appropriate wear. Not to mention that the last pair of new shorts he was given were purchased by me before the birth of our first son, three years ago. 
To celebrate him this Father's Day, Castaway Clothing sent a fantastic little package our way that included matching father-son embroidered flag shorts (yes, you read that correctly and yes, it IS the cutest thing you've ever seen in the whole entire world) as well as a matching polo for my husband. 

And here I thought matching sibling sets were cute. Matching father-son shorts about did me in. For my husband who loves his family and the beach and having his family at the beach more than life itself, these pieces from Castaway Clothing couldn't have been more perfect. Not to mention that they'll be the perfect shorts to wear while sailing out on our pontoon boat for the 4th of July!
