This printed mug may be the one for you. It has writings on both sides, and you can make this gift feel personal, by adding your dad’s name on the front, below a blue skull holding two wrenches, representing the mechanic's trade. On the front, it says “Any man can be a mechanic, it takes someone special to be a dad, proud to be both”.
