Baba or tata, papa or pita, daddy or dad— no matter what you call your father, it’s all about him come Father’s Day!
So the Collingwood Apartment Homes team in Alpharetta, Georgia, asked * the Idea Specialists™ * for some ways to show the father figures in our lives a little extra love on Sunday, June 15, this year. First on the list? Why, quality screen time, of course!
Guilt-Free Golf
For some dads, the best gift would be time spent together watching the U.S. Open Golf Championship, the final round of which is traditionally played on the third Sunday in June (always falling on Father’s Day). Pile up on the couch in your comfy Collingwood Apartment Homes living room and turn the TV to NBC or the Golf Channel to see if PGA Championship winner Scottie Scheffler walks away with another one.
In keeping with the golf theme, the Idea Specialists™ can vouch that Golfballs.com does a great job on customized balls, tees, and towels, with excellent customer service and a fast turnaround time.
Fun For The Entire Family
An ice cream outing is a way the entire gang can celebrate the occasion. And where better than Where’s the Scoop in the City Center, with award-winning farm fresh dairy and vegan ice cream, signature bubble teas, and freshly ground coffee—all made from scratch. The Idea Specialists™ swear by the Salty Sailor, made with Madagascar vanilla ice cream with pretzels topped with more pretzels, M&M’s, whipped cream, and sea salt caramel. The Strawberry Shawty is another fave. Oh my goodness at the options!
Listen Up
Google for Father’s Day gift ideas and one of your first results will be the Oprah Daily list of “50 Best Gifts for Dads Who Say They Don’t Want Anything.” One of everybody’s top picks is the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, which provide high-quality sound—and mean that the wearer can take calls and play music while staying aware of his surroundings. Safety and convenience!
Unlimited Auto Love
The Idea Specialists™ are also big fans of practical gifts. That’s why they’re going to take advantage of the Unlimited Wash Club offered by SuperShine Xpress Car Wash on Grassland Parkway—as a treat for both themselves and their dads. At the same time, don’t forget the upscale Collingwood Apartment Homes apartment home community has its own car care center.
Cheers To Dad!
Whether your pops prefers bourbon or beer, there’s something on the menu at Barleygarden Kitchen & Craft Bar at Avalon that will quench his thirst (and some tasty treats on the food menu, too, including for the kiddos!). Because Collingwood Apartment Homes is a very pet-friendly luxury apartment home community, the team and the Idea Specialists™ were delighted to learn that Barleygarden is a dog-friendly joint! They have water bowls and treats for our four-legged friends out on the patio.
Did You Know?
According to History.com, the nation’s first Father’s Day was celebrated June 19, 1910, in the state of Washington. But it wasn’t until 1972—58 years after President Woodrow Wilson made Mother’s Day official—that the day honoring fathers became a nationwide holiday in the United States. That’s when then-President Richard Nixon signed a proclamation making it so. Economists estimate that Americans now spend more than $1 billion each year on Father’s Day gifts.
