I Love Don Week 2025

Much has been written about “I Love Don Week” over the years so you might think there’s nothing left to say. 

Wrong.

We’re days away from the 52nd kick-off of “I Love Don Week” and while it’s not what is used to be, it’s still pretty big. For example … my company gave everyone Friday, July 4th off of work I’m guessing as a chance for everyone to enjoy the Day-1 Kick-Off of “I Love Don Week”.  Not sure why the company’s not giving us the day off on my actual birthday (July 11th), but I’m sure they have their reasons.

Many communities are planning fireworks displays on “I Love Don Week” Day-1.  It’s overwhelming.

Yikes. I’m burying the lead … some of you might only be here for the “I Love Don Week” Wish-List. Here it is (click below)

When you look at the list you’re probably gonna think, “hey, this is the same stuff as Father’s Day and Christmas and last years ‘I Love Don Week’,” and you’re right. That’s on you. You’re not gifting me enough things off my list so it’s stagnant. Some ideas … 

• set aside a little money every month so next year you can buy me a bigger ticket item
• leave a comment and then connect with other Blog commenters and pool your funds
• open up a new credit card with a big limit and buy me something

Be creative. 

And don’t forget, I get just as happy about the Bargain Bin stuff as I would the dual blade Toro TimeMaster. Don’t stress out.

Thanks to all who’ve been part of “I Love Don Week” in the past.

Big week. Lots of fun (for me). Many updates to follow. 

Oh, and how about that “I Love Don Week” trendy brown paper banner, eh? Pretty good, right? It’s AI.  Don’t tell me AI is evil and will destroy the world. I asked it, “make an image that looks like those trendy brown paper banners that says “Happy I Love Don WeeK” and “52 years”   . . . and didn’t completely like what it gave me so I asked, “Make it look more hand drawn and home made… ”  … and VOILA!!!

Bet you didn’t expect and AI pro-tip? 

OK. Back to me and “I Love Don Week.”  The countdown continues.
