Father's Day Gift Ideas that are FREE

Wondering what to get Dad for Father's Day (June 21st) or do you have a special guy's birthday coming up?? Here are a few FREE magazine offers for you to try out. I am going to order several for my hub and put them all in the new ice chest that I got him along with a 12 pack of his favorite suds! I might throw in a "Guy's Night Out" coupon if I can muster up enough strength to deal with the aftermath! Good thing he doesn't read my blog or he would know what he is getting! LOL!
