Legacy Gifts@Father’s Day

Legacy Ideas and Why Families Love the Way This Has Changed the Holiday

Last Father’s Day, my brothers and I found ourselves scurrying around looking for ideas for Dad at the last minute. We were at the mercy of what we could pull off in a timely manner. Some years, we managed to give epic gifts—not because they were expensive, but because they were a good fit and the timing was right.

This year, we decided to create a meaningful tradition. My son turned 18 this past February, and during a discussion in January, he asked me about the dog tags that the Brooks men receive when they turn 18. His question sparked a new idea: we would formalize this into a tradition. Since Dodge is the last of the Brooks grandkids, it might be a while before the next one comes around, but the tradition was set.

I had purchased David Yurman dog tags for my brothers and myself, and I love their brand. It allows me to switch them up occasionally, keeping things fresh. This year, we’ve compiled some gift ideas to help you create a tradition or legacy, along with some great ideas for Father’s Day.
