Boy and girl watching father open Father's Day gift

Father’s Day is just around the corner, which means it’s about that time to get him a special gift. Considering that most men could use a little nudging when it comes to their health, it might be worth it to consider getting Dad (or Grandpa, or Uncle, etc.) a healthy gift: A healthier dad = a happier dad = a happier family.

Oh! And a little Dad’s Day gift fact: 30% of dads report that a tie is what they want least, according to a Families Online Magazine survey.

Just sayin’…
