June is here and in addition to pool parties and barbecues, it’s dad’s turn to be appreciated! We all know that dad’s rule, but finding the perfect Father’s Day gift can be a challenge. We’ve taken the guesswork out of what to get with the SMB Father’s Day Gift Guide. Check out some of our favorite finds for dad and share yours below in the comments!
Sporty Dad
Top Golf Gift Card: Part golf and part entertainment, you don’t have to be a PGA pro to enjoy Scottsdale’s Top Golf complex. Equipped with HDTV’s, an extensive food menu, a bar, and of course golf, Top Golf is perfect for a dads’ night out.
“Great Catch” Hand Print Baseball: A DIY gift that’s the perfect size for little hands. 
Have the kids put their hand prints on a baseball to let dad know what a great catch he is. Be sure to put the ball into a collector’s case since this is one “autograph” that is will hold its value! Hint: Purchase more than one baseball just in case your little one squirms while making his/her hand print.
Chef Dad
Bacon of the Month Club: Each month a new shipment of premium artisan bacon is delivered to dad’s door- a bacon lover’s dream!
