A Father's Day gift that is not a tie

Short answer: record the minute he became a father, or a minute you shared, like his first match with you. His name, a photo and your words. From $4.99.

Why it beats the usual gifts Ties and mugs end up in a drawer. A recorded minute stays public, has his name and comes with a certificate he can frame.

Ideas for the minute - Your birth, or the birth of his first grandchild. - The kick-off of a game you watched together. - The minute you passed your driving test, with him in the passenger seat.
