Fathers Day Gift Guide 2019

Ad – Gifted. All opinions are our own.

We may never have been a couple whilst Alyssa has been alive and we may, at one point, have really not liked each other very much, but gradually over the last, almost 4 years of our daughter’s life, Alyssa’s dad and I have become more than awkward ex-partners who never really got to know each other well enough. Instead, I would dare to say, we are in fact friends of some sorts. We can laugh and joke with each other, sit and have a coffee and enjoy watching our daughter grow up into the sassy little girl that she is turning out to be. Unless it’s something to do with Alyssa like a birthday, we don’t spend time together socially, but we do get along and that’s what matters. However, even back in the beginning, when we weren’t getting along, I still made sure I got him a gift from his daughter on his birthday and of course on Fathers Day.  So even though we aren’t together, I still look for something for Alyssa to give the daddy she loves very much.
