FATHERS DAY GIFT GUIDE

allie • June 11, 2020

Father’s day is right around the corner and I thought I would put together a gift guide of some of Ryan’s favorite tried and true things. I feel like I keep coming back to some of the same things, but I guess Ryan is a pretty simple man:) And our gift guide is usually geared more towards the outdoor DIY man, but we did try to put a little of everything on the list!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 and you need this battery to go with it. And Charger 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 and this cover / 16 / 17 / And code PRVBS takes 20% off the wallet:) 

So if I had to pick Ryan’s top 5 favorite of things he uses on a daily basis or what he loves most, I would put them in this order… 

#1.  His pellet grill. Seriously, if I would’ve known how this would transform his grilling, I would’ve splurged on it long ago….This grill is worth it’s weight in gold! And I bought him the grill cover for his birthday and he’s probably told me 10 times how nice that is to have:) 

Seriously, I love to hate these things. He wears them all over the place, and I’m glad it protects his hearing, but he also can’t hear a thing I’m saying :) That being said, they for sure get the most use!

I laughed so hard when he first got this and called him grandpa. I didn’t know there was a need for suspenders. But it has cut down on crack showing and he sings their praises everytime he works, so I guess its a winner! 

#4 Crocs

This one is just as shocking, trust me. But he bought himself a pair of these last year and they have changed her world. Especially at the lake! He even lost them last year and went out and bought another pair because he missed them so much! 

Alright, I’ll admit…this is my pick. Because Ryan really is the best dad in all the land. I bought him this shirt for the world to know:) And I think it’s a pretty great way to support our men in this journey:)  Love you babe and HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!

The Oaks final outdoor reveal
By Allie Lundeen August 14, 2025
I pulled off the biggest surprise I've ever done... I can't believe it!! So a little back story - 17 years ago Ryan sold his prized possession, his 1991 Mazda Miata, to help fund a much needed mini van for our baby on the way. After I got pregnant I quit my job and we went from 2 incomes down to 1 income. We knew that a 2 person convertible just wasn't practical and that the finances could be used in a better way. So we sold it... Fast forward 17 years and it all comes back full circle. I put my 17 year old son Tate on the task of finding us a Miata that looked just like dads, and he blew it out of the water. He found the perfect car on Facebook Marketplace In great condition! He drove almost 3 hours to pick it up with a buddy and pulled off the best surprise ever!!! Also to note Tate has never driven through the Twin Cities or Driven a stick shift on any road besides a gravel one close to the cabin. BUT he was confident and crushed the challenge!! We stored it for the night and gave it to him the next day! I think Ryan's reaction says it all (watch the mini vlog below!) Our "19th" anniversary isn't until November but what fun is a convertible if you can't drive it in the summer, so we gave it to him early and are so happy we did! *make sure to read until the end for a good laugh ;)
