Ideas for Dad

Just two weeks left until Father's Day. So you've got to ask yourself a couple of questions: What kind of man is my Dad? And how can I show him I love him? Just in case you come up short on answers or time, these links might help guide you.


Brookstone.com puts its top Father's Day gifts front and center. Those include an anti-snoring pillow, a motorized grill brush, a wireless sports scores device and an LP-ripping turntable, to name just a few of the ingenious ideas here. Another thing that makes shopping here smart: your 5% ConsumerClub.com rebate.


AmazingClubs.com lets you spoil Dad all year long through the Wine Club, the Cigar Club, the Coffee Club, even the Necktie club. All 30 clubs featured on this site will send a monthly installment to the old man. And each club comes with free shipping and free instant gift messages. Why not join one of the clubs yourself? After all, you'll be earning a $5 ConsumerClub.com rebate on all your purchases here.

From the Pocket Survival Pack to the New York Times Crossword Puzzles touch screen device to the popular Planet Earth DVD set, you'll find something that's a fit. You'll also find free shipping on orders of $75 or more. And you'll earn a 3% rebate on everything you spend on this site.

Fresh Sheets

Whether it's a pattern you can no longer stand, a color that's mismatched for the comforter or the fact that your sheets are tattered beyond repair, you definitely have an array of choices. I've found beautiful, comfortable, affordable sheets in all shapes, sizes and colors:


Sears.com has sheets on sale for 30-50% off right now. (And FYI, pillows and mattress pads and buy one, get one free right now.) I found a beautiful chocolate-colored six-piece sheet set with a decorative hem for only $49.99. And there are dozens more options in just about every imaginable color, material and style. Get them while they're on sale. You'll also earn a 1% ConsumerClub.com rebate while shopping Sears.com.

DesignerLinensOutlet.com is a wonderful, affordable resource for all your bedding needs. And right now there's a spring clearance sale on all Nautica brand bedding. Use coupon code NSPRING for an extra 15% off Nautica bed, bath and decor products. This site makes it easy to search by Weekly Deals, Best Sellers or Premier Boutique items. The "Bedding Buying Guide" is also extremely helpful. And what a bonus, you'll also earn a 5% ConsumerClub.com rebate on all your purchases here.

Mirror , Mirror

We could all use a second set of eyes before we set foot outside of the house. How about another strategically placed mirror or two? I've discovered a very fun selection, whatever your style:


HomeClick.com has hundreds of them. From ornate, antique-looking, hand-carved options to simple squares with maple frames or no frame at all, you'll find mirrors in all shapes and sizes. And your reflection will have something extra to smile about thanks to the 3% ConsumerClub.com rebate you can earn here.


I can't leave out the 21" circular "Recycled Magazine Mirror" on UrbanOutfitters.com. It would be a creative touch for just about any room. And it will earn you a 3% rebate from ConsumerClub.com, as will anything else you buy on the site, from mirrored sunglasses to the latest trends that reflect your style.


Bellacor.com has more mirrors you might like. I fancy the round Lotus Tarnished Brick mirror and the Castillian mirrors in particular. But you'll find hundreds more, plus a 6% ConsumerClub.com rebate, as you shop this beautiful site.

Area Rugs

My hardwood floors could use some warming up. So I've been on a serious hunt for area rugs of all shapes and sizes. And I found more than I bargained for out there:


HomeDecorators.com blew me away with its selection. This site lets you shop by style, color, weave, materials, size and shape. I went straight to Asian Influence rugs, where I quickly fell in love with the Sakura Area Rug. Then I hopped over to Round rugs, where I found that my favorite rug came in multiple shapes and sizes! I also feel quite fond of the 2% ConsumerClub.com rebate I'll earn on this site.


Then I checked out NaturalAreaRugs.com. I used the handy Quick Rug Finder to select my ideal material, price and size. I found some simple shag styles that I loved for my living room right away. The prices here are reasonable and the shipping is free. And I noticed a 75% off sale that's still in effect. That's in addition to your 6% ConsumerClub.com rebate.


I had to stop myself at Bellacor.com. I found a fabulous leather shag round, a rockin' rectangular with bright modern shapes, and the artsy Transitions Ivory and Green rectangular rug (at 10% off) for my entryway. It doesn't hurt that I can earn a 6% ConsumerClub.com rebate on all of my purchases here. And I've only just begun.
