A Gift for Mom! 🤍

It’s no secret that dads are the hardest loved ones to shop for when it comes to finding the perfect gift.

To help with your gifting woes, we asked our team for some of their tried-and-true dad gifts, and this is what they came up with:

1. Dad Grill Set
This grill set has dad written all over it . . . literally. Just in case you forget who the real grill master is in your house.

 

2. Barbeque Spice and Rub Set
Throw these spices and rubs in with the grilling utensils above, and he’ll be ready to make you and the whole family dinner. It’s a win-win!

3. Keurig Single Serve Coffee Maker
Have a husband who loves a good cup of coffee but won’t stop at the coffee shop? #TeamHerView Dads use their Keurigs religiously on those early mornings when they are up and about chasing kids before the crack of dawn.

4. What I Love About Dad Journal
This fill-in-the-blank book is short and sweet, and will capture any dad’s heart. What guy doesn’t want to be reminded of all of the things that make him great? Plus, kids say the darndest things and some of the prompt responses are sure to leave all of you laughing.

 

5. Engraved Hammer
This is the perfect gift for the handyman of the house. Who knows, having a personalized hammer might just make him more apt to work on some of those honey-dos. 

 

6. Beer Brewing Kit
For some dads, the only thing better than a nice cold beer at the end of a long day is the satisfaction of knowing that they brewed it themselves!

7. Suede Slippers
Give dad an excuse to kick up his feet with these cozy (but perfectly manly!) slippers. He deserves it!

8. Yeti Thermos
This thermos will keep his coffee hot or his water ice cold for hours no matter what he’s doing. 

 

9. Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker
Now dad can listen to the game on the go. This Bluetooth speaker can connect straight to his phone, and if it accidentally gets wet—no sweat! It’s waterproof, too.

 

10. Air Fryer
This is great for the health-conscious dad who still likes to indulge in fried foods. With this, he can enjoy the crunch without all of the grease.

 

11. Toilet Golf
If he gets tired of surfing his phone during those conveniently timed bathroom trips, he can practice his putting game instead. Bonus: the whole family will get a kick out of watching him open this particular gift.

 

 

12. Novelty Socks
Socks—because what’s a stocking without, well, a pair of stockings in it? These toe-huggers beat the boring ones he’s used to wearing.

 

13. Leather Laptop Bag
For the dad who always has his laptop in tow, this leather messenger bag is the perfect replacement for that beat up old bag he has hung onto for just a little too long.

 

14. Portable Cell Charger
Phone batteries just don’t seem to last—especially with kids around. This battery pack has enough ports to charge two devices at once, so he’ll always be ready for a quick recharge.

15 Heated Massage Chair Pad
Give him the gift of a massage that doesn’t require an appointment. He can use this to unwind a bit in his office chair, in the car, on the couch . . . just about anywhere!


 

16. Dad Joke Book
This handy little book will keep his dad joke game strong. We wouldn’t want him to lose the ability to make everyone in the family roll their eyes with his corny (yet endearing) humor, would we?

We’re Trusting God through Unemployment

In: Living
Family posing by wooden wall

The calendar tells me that almost three months ago today, my husband and I resigned from our joint position as house parents in a residential foster care ministry. Three months of no income. Three months of moving to a new state, navigating new doctors, two brand new schools for our daughters, and a smaller living space. Three months of looking at each other and knowing how hard it is to wait for a paycheck. One day, I dared to check the bank account, and my body quivered when I saw the balance. We had savings, but I am pretty sure...

Some Friendships Are Not Meant To Last Forever

In: Friendship
Landscape photo

I remember hearing as a child that not all friendships last forever. Back then, I didn’t believe it. Not my friendships. We had grown up together—through elementary school, through high school. We were inseparable. Plans were made around each other, and life felt like it would always look that way. But life has a way of changing things. I became a young mom, trying to figure out who I was while also learning how to be everything my children needed. At the same time, I was still holding tightly to the friendships that had been part of my life for...

My Sister-In-Law Is the Sister I Always Wanted

In: Living
Two women friends smiling

There’s a very specific kind of longing that sometimes comes with growing up without a sister. Yes, I had half-siblings on my dad’s side, but they were older and out there living their adult lives. My brother and I were always very close despite the age difference. He was the cool, funny, rockstar big brother who was (and always will be) a big kid at heart, and I was incredibly grateful for that. But still, there was always this quiet, persistent longing for something else: a sister. Someone who would be mine in that way only sisters understand. You know,...

The Life I Love Was Built From the Life That Broke Me

In: Living, Marriage
Family of four

In my early- to mid-twenties, everything felt like it was unraveling. I was depressed, uninspired, dealing with health issues I didn’t fully understand, and carrying the weight of past trauma I didn’t yet have the language for. At the same time, I was wading through a dating pool that felt more like I was unintentionally starring in an episode of Punk’d, all while still carrying the scars of a serious relationship that ended in betrayal—cheating that didn’t just break my heart, but shattered my sense of trust in a way I wasn’t prepared for. For a while, I stayed there....

My Mom Was Just 13 When I Was Born. Now That I’m a Mother, I See Her Differently.

In: Living
Young girl and teenage mother

There are only 13 years and 11 months between us. I can’t imagine how hard that must have been—how lonely it must have felt at times. A childhood cut short, replaced with responsibilities that were night and day. Confusion and love, all wrapped into one. Growing up, it felt like I had a big sister beside me. A friend I loved with everything in me. But she wasn’t just a friend. She was my mother. I relied on her for guidance, for reassurance, for someone to look up to. And now I find myself wondering, how could she give me...

Why Don’t We Talk About Jonah’s Mother?

Woman standing over water

Praying for My Son Send a storm to stop him; Let his friends throw him out. May he drop to the deeps, But gently, please, Stubborn though he may be. If it could only take three days, How my mother’s heart would Rejoice in praise.  From the hell you allow him, Let him cry to you. Is not Nineveh and mercy Exactly what he knows He needs— A mercy on enemies He fears You will concede? Please let all the shade wither If his is an angry soul; Humble him and help him follow Where you would have his purpose...

I Never Got to Meet My Grandmother on This Side of Heaven

In: Living
Old black and white family photo

Grandmother, I never met you this side of Heaven, but I feel as though I have. Your pictures, scattered throughout my mother’s home, tell your story. Born to a woman who came to this country alone when she was just 16, you would be the youngest of four, with two sisters and a brother. Your short, dark, straight hair clings to your little face, a line of bangs neatly combed high on your forehead. You couldn’t be more than three years old as you sit on a stool at your sister’s First Holy Communion. The black and white photo makes...

The Hardest Part of Divorce Is Being Away from My Kids

In: Living, Marriage, Motherhood
Woman in driver's seat

I’ve written several times about how divorce has allowed me to find myself again, and how that version is even better than the one I was before I was married. All of that is still true. I am happier than I’ve ever been. More confident and sure of myself. I understand my emotions and how to handle myself when things get tough or scary. I am more grounded and calm than I’ve ever been. Truly, I have come out on top. I’ve received comments about how happy I look, how I’m “living my best life with kids only half the...

My Dad Gave Us Something Money Never Could

In: Living
Family smiling in posed photo

I was talking with my dad the other day about an upcoming Disney trip with our kids. I told him all we planned to do while we were there and how excited the kids were. He sat and listened, taking it all in. And then he said something that put a lump in my throat. “I’m so glad you’re able to give your kids the life that I couldn’t.” He went on to say he still carries some guilt–that he wishes he could have done more, taken us on trips, given us experiences he couldn’t. Hearing that broke my heart....

Dear Daddy, I Wish You Could See Yourself As We Do

In: Living, Marriage
father with two young children

The side of my husband who is hardest on himself usually shows up late at night. The house is quiet, the kids are finally asleep, and the day has done what it always does—taken everything it could from both of us. That’s usually when it comes out. The voice in his head that tells him he’s not doing enough as a father. Not present enough. Not patient enough. Not good enough. He doesn’t say it lightly. He says it like someone confessing a truth he wishes wasn’t true. Like he’s already measured himself against some invisible standard of fatherhood and...
