I’m especially drawn to this Nuts About You free gift bag printable by Live Laugh Rowe because pistachios are my own dad’s kryptonite.

The gift of Father’s Day coupons are a rite of passage — and when you get a whole pack of them, that’s when you know you’ve made that complete transition into fatherhood.
