I've got HOW many gifts to buy?

I'm excited and frustrated this year with Father's Day coming just around the corner. First of all, for me personally, I have my father and father-in-law's birthdays on the same day (today) to find gifts for. (Yes, I realize I'm a little late...) Then, Father's Day comes, so that means 4 gifts: father, father-in-law times two, and husband. Next, just after the holiday comes our anniversary. And, like most men, the guys in my life are NOT easy to shop for. They don't need anything, and everything they want is either something I'm not educated enough in to buy or it's way too expensive...

I realize that holidays like Father's Day is a time to celebrate our parents and show our love for them, but sometimes it just doesn't seem like enough to send a card and write "I love you" in it. I know that my dad would be just thrilled with that, but I wish there was some way I could really show him how much he means to me. Also, with this being my husband's first Father's Day, I want it to be really special. Of course, the fact that this year he can actually celebrate the holiday as a father himself may make it plenty special for him...

What I'd really like to do is get my husband a gift certificate to have a massage. Sounds great, right? The problem is that he feels very particular about it and doesn't want a male massuse, but he also is weird about having a woman rubbing on him either. Okay, so that kind of rules out a massage... and since I'm not trained I don't want to attempt it myself! (He has some minor back problems - with my luck I'd make them worse!)

So, I'm back to square one. And I don't even know where to begin... Oh yeah, and let's not forget the gifts for the two other fathers in our lives! Mother's Day gifts were a snap compared to this one! Guess I'll be searching the web and sales papers for some good - and unique - ideas that might suit the men in my life!
