Sometime around 10 p.m. last night, I realized that this weekend is Father’s Day and I hadn’t picked up a gift for my own dad yet.
He’s not big on presents, so I usually go with a practical gift or something small that will make him smile. I’ve done a heated mug for his favorite tea, an engraved spoon because he’s infamous for sneaking bites out of the peanut butter jar, and photo books of his kids and grandchildren.
This year, while doing a quick browse on Amazon, I came across the absolute perfect gift:
'I'm Not Sleeping, I'm Resting My Eyes' Father's Day Socks
$7
from
I’m sorry, but these socks made me LOL because they’re just that perfect. How many times have I heard my own father say this very phrase while we all giggled on the couch next to him?
He is infamous for “never” sleeping, but simply resting his eyes — the move of all exhausted dads everywhere, honestly. What’s impressive is that I feel like dads really are capable of the micro naps. My own husband, now a father of a few kiddos, can go from completely asleep to wide awake and tossing kids in the air for playtime in a mere matter of seconds.
So maybe the whole “resting your eyes” thing is actually a dad superpower?
I don’t know, but I do know that these socks are the perfect last-minute Father’s Day gift, and I immediately ordered them for my own dad. If you’re a Prime member, if you order today, the socks will still arrive by Saturday, June 14, in plenty of time for Father’s Day.
The socks come in a few different colors and design options, and they even have a grandpa-themed version if you want to pick one up for the grandfather in your life.
Plus, they’re on sale, marked down from an already affordable $9 to only $7 for Father’s Day.
