Father's Day THEMED Gift Ideas!

By Leslie Pleasants
Buying for you husband for Fathers Day can be difficult.  If you ask them what they want they(mine) usually will come back with..  "new motorcycle, kindle, newest game system, oh... how about that 3D tv".  Yeah right!  Why can't they ask for kitchen towels, candles, chocolates... you know... the easy stuff like we ask for.  :)  So I give up asking him anymore.  Always ends up me just shrugging my shoulders asking myself why did I even bother.  Most of the time he doesn't know what he wants anyways.  :) 

So why not fill a bucket... YES a bucket filled with goodies for him!!  You can never have enough buckets.  You can even buy a metal bucket to be reused for a beverage holder on your patio when you have guests over or how about one of the collapsible trash cans that they can reuse for camping or at the beach!  Depending on the theme there are so many options that you can use to fill your gifts in.
