Father's Day: A "Brief" Hug
It's all about the package!

Fathers may come in all shapes and sizes, but nearly all of them have spent their lives being our protectors and champions. One of the best memories many of us have of our dads is being wrapped in a warm hug by strong arms.
This Father's Day, why not return the sentiment and give dad a "brief" hug? Since he probably never buys underwear for himself, get him some really nice briefs or boxers, roll them up and wrap a heartfelt note around them. Tell dad that because he gave you all the basic things in life, you want to show your thanks by giving him some, too - with "A Brief Hug." We added cutout hands to visually demonstrate a hug, but you can also opt to wrap the note with ribbon or raffia.
If dad already has plenty of briefs, you can create the same concept with socks or t-shirts. Add messages such as "You parented me to a 'T'" and "Love from your crew."
This idea is simple to create, fun to give and offers the opportunity to convey an intimate message. One that dad will never forget.
