Father's Day Gift Ideas

Father's Day is coming up on June 20th and every year I struggle to find the perfect gift, not only for my dad but for my husband as well.  I found these sites to give me some ideas, and hopfully you too!

For the New Dad, a First Father's Day Personalized Frame:











Personalized Gift, Dad Clock:










Handmade Gift from Kids, Coupon Box/Jar:

Here's another handmade gift idea, Handprint Photo Frame (this could be done for much less just buying items from a craft store):

Want even more Father's Day gift ideas?  I found tons at Gifts.com- cool, fun, unique... or for whatever style of Dad you have.

I Signed Up For SocialSpark

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I seen a post over at Mama's Cool Things about SocialSpark and decided to check it out for myself.  It's a site that gives bloggers the chance to make money writing reviews (sponsored posts) or by posting display ads on your blog or website.  The site itself is very easy to register for and after you claim your blog you can start taking opportunities that you qualify for (like this one).  Payments are paid via Paypal once you've reached $50.

SocialSpark is very user friendly and easy to navigate. All you have to do is look for opportunities that are open and you qualify for (that are in green). And if there is a wait you can add it to queue and once available, they will notify you and you have 12 hours to complete the post.  Once you take an opportunity, the requirements (min. # of words, links to use, etc.) are clearly stated, making it easy to get your post up quickly.

SocialSpark also strives for transparency and honesty in all communications.  So it's a must to have a full in-post disclosure when writing a sponsored post (like at the beginning of this one) so your readers will know. You can read about their Code of Ethics to learn more.

I'm excited to be trying out SocialSpark and if you're interested also, you can Sign up for SocialSpark in just a few easy steps.
