Father's Day Gift Ideas - Like Father, Like Son

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Gillette at Walmart. The opinions and text are all mine.

Nothing makes my heart sing more than watching these two spending time together. There’s just something special about the father and son bond they share. They are so alike it’s amazing– the way they walk, the way they talk, the way they eat breakfast. I feel like I’m watching a little clone of my husband grow up a little more each day.

Now that our son is a little older he loves watching dad get ready in the morning. He also loves trying to emulate everything my husband does. He’ll stand beside him and mimic all the motions of being a grown-up.

My husband loves this age of curiosity and wonder, mostly because he gets to be the star finally! The baby and toddler years are mainly focused on mama, and then one day daddy becomes the object of admiration. It’s exciting for him and I know he relishes his role. It’s so sweet to watch him patiently walk our son through the steps of early manhood.

I caught them sharing a sweet father and son moment the other day. Just two boys hanging out, talking shop while they get their shave on, lol! My son watched wide-eyed as my husband shaved, asking him questions about the whys and how-tos of shaving… how to apply shaving cream and carefully glide the razor over your skin. I couldn’t help but smile watching my little boy dab shaving cream on his face and pretend to shave like his daddy does.

For Father’s Day we like to surprise Dad with a few things he loves and a few things he needs. This year one of the things we’re wrapping up is something he loves and needs, the Gillette Fusion ProShield. We picked up a razor and shaving cream from Walmart along with a few other things that are perfect dad’s day essentials.

And, just in time for Father’s Day, the Gillette Fusion ProShield and Gillette Fusion ProGlide are both on rollback at Walmart for only $9.97. Plus, with a P&G brandSAVER coupon that was released in the Sunday paper and online at pgeveryday.com on 6/3, you can get additional savings of $2.00 off one Gillette razor (excluding Gillette3, Gillette5, and disposable razors). It’s a great deal for dads!

This growing-up thing really tugs at my heartstrings. I love seeing my little boy gain confidence and find his own rhythm, but at the same time it’s hard watching my baby grow.
