Father\u2019s Day is almost here.\u00a0 While no one is able to say what exactly can make a great Dad, it certainly is both a great responsibility and a great gift.\u00a0 Your Dad may have passed on a strong work ethic, a great sense of humor, the dimples on your face, or your love of music.\u00a0 Whatever type of Dad you have, be sure to let them know how important they are to you this Father\u2019s Day.\u00a0 And, we are pretty sure he does not need another tie!<\/p>\n

We contacted Tony Chen, the creator of SavvyDaddy.com , a site dedicated to being a resource for dads.\u00a0 Tony shared his thoughts on Father\u2019s Day.\u00a0 When asked what the best gift he ever received was, he said it was a big bear hug from his children! He also appreciated a smartphone from his wife \"Smile\"\u00a0 Tony also suggests a product from CAUSEGEAR , a company\u00a0 \u201cPowered by fair trade, micro-investment and one-to-one relationships, consumers become world-changers, and the poorest of the poor become self-sustaining.\u201d\u00a0 We agree that most fathers would love the idea of receiving a gift that helps others, including fathers trying to support their own families.<\/p>\n

Here is our favorite product from the line:<\/p>\n

Movement121 Backpack<\/a>, $49.50
\nThe first CAUSEGEAR backpack was designed by M121 in Chicago, Illinois and crafted in India for use on campuses, at the workplace, and everywhere in between.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We also tapped the expertise of Dan Tower, the men\u2019s gift editor at Gifts.com<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dan enjoys helping people feel as good giving gifts as they do getting them. The birth of his first daughter is a gift that can never be topped.\u00a0\u00a0 Dan\u2019s favorite picks:<\/p>\n

Superman Dad Adult T Shirt<\/a>., $19.95
\nShow your father he is your superhero!<\/p>\n

LL Bean Auto Aid In Bottle<\/a>, $29.95
\nSafety essentials to give Dad peace of mind.<\/p>\n

Keepsake sandprint kit<\/a> , $48
\nPerfect for the new dad.\u00a0 Capture those adorable baby feet (or hands) in a very unique way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make sure you let Dad know how special he is!\u00a0 He\u2019ll sure be surprised when he sees the thought you\u2019ve given to his gift this year — and, of course, it won\u2019t be another tie!<\/p>\n
