Dad's Big Day
He taught you to ride a bike. He read to you at bedtime. He might have even paid for your college. Only you know the reasons why your Dad deserves a big token of your gratitude this Father's Day. But I can definitely tell you some great places to find gift ideas:
Visit RestorationHardware.com for loads of creative, masculine gifts. The list begins with grilling tools galore — and spans all the way to the "Handyman in Your Pocket" book, radios and flashlights that require no batteries, photo key chains and a whole lot more. On sale you'll find a cashmere travel set and other ideas for the old man.
Add one of the latest life-enhancing innovations to Dad's daily life. Brookstone.com can help. Some of my favorites include the new 5-Day Wireless Weather Forecaster, the Talking Photo Ball and the Special Edition Silver Microbeam flashlight. Add some extra cash to your account, too, as you earn a 5% rebate from ConsumerClub.com.
Does Dad have a serious sweet tooth? ChocolateSource.com has the stuff to sooth it. Try a luxury gift box like the Nirvana liqueur-flavored chocolates, the Cafe Tasse Wooden box dinner crunch or, for the dark chocolate-loving Dad, the Dark Chocolate Lover's Gift Basket. You’ll earn a 7% rebate from ConsumerClub.com shopping here.
For the traveling man, there's Flight001.com. Now through June 16th, enter promotion code "Dad" and get free ground shipping on orders of $50 or more. What will you find here? How about creative passport covers, plush travel pillows (plus blankets and sleep masks), moisturizers, luggage tags, alarm clocks and plenty of other options that will guarantee smooth sailing on all Dad's future travels.
Finally, I definitely recommend the wonderfully unique, artsy gifts on UncommonGoods.com. The Dad-to-Be set includes a manly diaper bag filled with new-father essentials. The King Dad platter will make the whole family smile. The Home Maintenance Organizer will help him keep his plentiful projects in order. There's also an exceptional selection of printed ties and wallets, and loads more keepsakes here, in addition to a handy 5% rebate from ConsumerClub.com.
