    Thanks so much for the beautiful ideas. Dad does so much for us and when it comes to gift selection for father’s day, it gets kind of weirdo because he always decline such gifts or does not agree spending money on him. But yes, when we make some beautiful things for him, he’ll be surprised, happy and would never say no to the gift. Thanks
