When you meet with your dad next time, remember to bring a small gift, your dad may be in tears. Even if the gift is not expensive, it must be full of heart. Customized challenge coins can be a good way to show your love for your dad. You can print photos of you and dad playing or engrave your birthday to record dad’s first day as a father. This will be the most precious gift for dads.
