Hallmark's Recordable Picture Frame

Filled with a picture of Dad's team, whether that is his sports team or Mom and the kids.

Hallmark's Memory Keeping Recordable Frame reads, "Life makes the best story." It allows you and/or your children to record, in brief, the story of the picture in the frame. Definitely a gift that can be packed full of love in more ways than one.

Blogger Everything Mom shares a story about giving this picture frame to her husband who travels quite a bit. She chose a picture of the whole family on vacation in Hawaii and all three of the children recorded a sentence about the trip, one that was important in relationship to the particular child and to their father and that would bring back pleasant memories. She expected her husband to be pleased with the framed picture of their family, but she did not expect him to cry. Hallmark's Recordable Picture Frame is, apparently, a gift that can make grown men cry.

Hallmark's Safe Harbor Movie (2009)

Starring Treat Williams, Nancy Travis, Reiley McClendon, Myra Turley, Cameron Monaghan

Safe Harbor is based on the true story of a married couple who are set to retire and spend their retirement on their sailboat. However, before they manage to leave, a friend asks them to look after two teenagers who have been sentenced to juvenile hall. The hall is at capacity and unable to take them in and when it is suggested that the teen boys be put to work getting the boat ready for its trip, the couple agrees. Soon they find themselves with four boys.

The situation brings a set of challenges from attitude to fire but, in the end, there are positive changes in all four boys who decide they do not want to break up their newly created 'family.' The couple questions their own situation, their sailing trip, their choice not to have children and the future.

Safe Harbor

Amazon Price: $9.60 (as of 05/31/2012)
List Price: $19.99

Many Hallmark movies have a strong romance element and are therefore not exactly what I would pick for my father on Father's Day. This one is a good exception seeing as it features a strong male contingent and is not about romance but rather about family. If you want to give your father a heartwarming movie, this would be a good choice.
