For a dear dad: Send him a special note

If he’s a shoe-in for Dad of the Year, it can be difficult to find the right card that conveys how much you and your tots appreciate your hubby. But Etsy shop owner Caitlin McClain, an illustrator and graphic designer from Austin, Texas, has created a card that’s the perfect mix of salty tear-producing sentiment and sweetness. Printed on cream, matte card stock, it reads, “No One Could Ever Fill Your Shoes, Dad.” The text surrounds a pair of lace-up oxford shoes that would warm the heart of any hipster, and it is blank inside, so there’s plenty of space for little hands to write “I love you, Dad!”
