What To Do if You Receive a Defective Gift for the Holidays

December 14, 2021 By Fatherhood Factor Team Leave a Comment

The holidays are an exciting time for your children to receive unique gifts from loved ones and friends. But sometimes, they can remove the gift from the packaging only to find out it’s malfunctioning. Let’s look at what to do if you receive a defective gift for the holidays—and hope this doesn’t happen to you or your little ones.

Ask for the Receipt

While it’s a good rule of thumb to include the receipt with any gift, it’s also worth noting that sometimes people throw them away or misplace them. If you open the gift and find it’s defective, reach out to the giver or purchaser of the gift and see if they can locate the receipt.

This is also an excellent time to consider e-receipts, as they’re easily accessible when the holidays wind down. You never know what can happen to a gift you receive or give.

Attempt To Return the Gift

Should you get the receipt, this is a good time to take the gift back to the store. Let them know you received this item as a gift and explain the problem to them.

They should consider your concerns since a defective item can sometimes lead to injuries or accidents. If injury or accident did occur, seek legal advice to see if you have a case.

Consider a Replacement Item

The disappointment when you inform your children you need to take their gifts back to the store can be traumatizing. But remind them that the one they have is bad and you’ll do your best to replace it.

If you’re still concerned with the product, maybe it’s best to consider replacing the gift altogether with something similar or allowing your little one to choose something else they may like.

In a perfect world, every gift would be flawless. But knowing what to do if you receive a defective gift for the holidays can help you navigate the situation should it come and help your children process the circumstances better.

Ways To Show Your Dad Appreciation on Father’s Day

June 11, 2021 By Fatherhood Factor Team Leave a Comment

Father’s Day is a day that every father awaits. There’s nothing more heartwarming than receiving handmade cards and gifts from your kids (they’re crudely made, but they’re full of love) and having them excitedly tell you how much you mean to them and how proud they are to have you as their dad. Parenting is often thankless work, so it can be nice to hear that you’re doing a wonderful job.

As a father, you’ll probably spend the day with your own family. But that leaves one very important person alone on this special day—the father who raised you. Instead of leaving your old man out of the celebrations, make this year special with these creative ways to show your dad appreciation on Father’s Day.

Write a Letter

Do your parents live miles away from you? You probably don’t want to go through the trouble of packing your luggage and hopping on a plane for a single day of celebration. What should you do, then?

If you can’t see your father in person on Father’s Day, take the time to pen a heartfelt letter instead. Tell your dad how much you appreciate him. Whether you send him this message through text or snail mail, he’s sure to flash a smile when reading it.

Make It Fun

Maybe you think Father’s Day should be an exciting event. Your family takes you to the beach, an expensive restaurant, or the local golf course each year to celebrate. Why not do the same for your own dad? The next way to show your dad appreciation on Father’s Day is to plan a fun activity or outing.

It doesn’t have to be on Father’s Day, but during that same week, invite your dad to spend a day with his favorite kid. There are countless things you can do and places you can go. Just make sure that whatever you’re doing is something you know that your dad will enjoy.

Celebrate Together

This momentous day in June is a time to celebrate fathers of all kinds. Instead of letting your dad celebrate on his lonesome, invite him to join your family festivities. What was that one saying? The more, the merrier.

Father’s Day is more about family than anything else. The more family you include, the livelier and more joyous it will be.
