Quick & Easy Father's Day Gift Idea

June is filled with so many fun events - graduations, weddings, showers, birthday parties, and Father's Day. Sometimes it's tough to be creative and think of the perfect gift when there are so many events with in a small period of time. I'm often guilty of stressing over trying to find that "wow" gift for each and every occasion, especially when it comes to dads and grads.

Dads are especially hard for me. My dad and husband are some of the hardest people to shop for no matter what the occasion. They are the type of people that if they need or want something throughout the year, they just buy it for themselves. I try to keep a running list of things they mention in passing on my phone, but sadly it always gets dwindled down to nothing by the time an event rolls around. 

I mean, I totally appreciate their proactive ability to get stuff done...but it makes a little tough for the gift givers in the group. 

But not this year! 

This year I've stumbled upon the easiest stress-free gifting idea that makes everyone happy. It's even in the name - Happy Cards! 

We were introduced to Happy Cards last year, and when I was shopping for graduation gifts I remembered how fun and easy they were to gift. Happy Cards are themed gift cards with more than one retailer attached to them - so the gift receiver can chose where they want to purchase their gift from. It can be one of of the retailers or multiple retailers. There is literally a Happy Card for every type of occasion and every type of interest. 

I need to start remember to gift them more. Every time we've gifted a Happy Card the receiver raves about how easy it is to use.  

And it was even easier to plan for this year's round of graduations and dad gift ideas because I realized I could order and send them straight to my home (or the gift receiver's home) from GiftCards.com. With just a click of a button and a few days wait time the gift was on our doorsteps. So so easy! 

I ordered a variety of Happy Cards for each event. For the Grads I chose Happy Student, Happy Teen, or Happy Moments cards. For the Dads I purchased a mixture of Happy Guy, Happy Moments, and Happy Dining cards. 

The hardest part in the whole process was getting the kids to sit down and sign the cards. If that's the most stressful part of gifting, I call that a win! 

Hopefully this helps if you need a quick and easy gift idea for the grads and dads in your life! Do you have an easy go-to gift idea? Share with us! We are always looking for great ideas, and you never know who you might be helping out!

Last Minute Gift Idea: Give Happy! {Giveaway}

Thank you Happy Cards for sponsoring this post.  All thoughts, ideas and opinions are our own! 

Just a few more days until Christmas and shopping days are running out!  Are y'all done shopping for everyone on your list?  Still have a few last minute gifts to purchase?  If so, we have the perfect idea for just about everyone on your gift list.

We were recently introduced to Happy Cards and think the idea is brilliant!  Each gift card can be used at several different retailers and restaurants.

One card, lots of options! From Happy Lady to Happy Kids and everyone in between, it makes buying the perfect gift so easy. We found these gift cards at our local grocery store and if you click HERE you can see all of the locations where you can find Happy Cards.

We tried out the Happy Lady card and Happy Ladies were we!  

We met up on Monday to take a break from all of the holiday hustle bustle and decided a little girlfriend time was in order.  We picked two of our favorites from the Happy Lady card options and had the best time! 

First we shopped at Sephora and checked out all of the new makeup trends. Lots of sparkle, glitter eyeshadow, lipgloss, highlighter and new eyeliner.

After making our final decisions we made our way to grab lunch and one of our favorites, The Cheesecake Factory. 

It was so great to catch up, have some girl talk and eat some yummy food.  

It certainly made our Monday one of the best ones we have had in a while and was a great way for us to take a little time for ourselves during this crazy busy season. 

We love to receive gift cards and we know lots of other people do, too. If you still have last minute gifts to buy, let your recipients get what they really want and and avoid the stress of searching for the perfect gift. Get happy, give happy! These gift cards give them choices and allows them to choose how they want to spend it.
