20 Wellness Design Gifts For Father’s Day 2021
OK, I’ll admit it: I miss my Dad. It’s the fourth Father’s Day I haven’t been able to share with him in person or by phone. I truly miss those visits and conversations! If you have a great (or OK) dad — or celebrate the observance with one — here are 20 ideas on gifts to enhance his physical and emotional well-being from my latest Forbes.com piece. There are splurge gifts, (some you can enjoy together, like this fire table from Room and Board if you share a home) and some simpler ones too you can send him if he lives in another state.
A fire table (or fire pit, fire bowl or fireplace) is a splendid Father’s Day gift idea!
