You Call It June. I Call It Buying an Entire Mountain of Presents.

Does anybody else have a month where it seems as if every holiday/event/celebration falls? Ours is June.

On our celebration itinerary for this June:
Father's Day (an oldie but goodie)
The birthday of Youngest's youngest, Kidzilla
TLS's parent's anniversary
Our anniversary (numero 14, thanks for asking)
My cousin B's wedding
Middle's 40th birthday

I am officially in gift buying fatigue. We did come up with a great idea for a Father's Day gift for TLS's dad. We want to get together a gift basket of all the cliched Father's Day gifts from our childhood days, but I need some more suggestions. So far we've gotten: Old Spice, a tie, and soap on a rope. (And yes, you can still buy soap on a rope. In fact, there is an entire website, http://www.soaponarope.com/ - natch, where it seems there is every permutation of S.O.A.R. known to man.) Does anybody else have any 1970's era memories of buying your dad some cheesy gift?
