Father’s Day Gift Guide 2008!

This year Father’s Day will be celebrated on Sunday, June 15th (which also happens to be my husband’s birthday!) Shopping for the men in our lives is always a challenge and so I’ve compiled a selection of gifts for men that are unique in different ways and will hopefully help with your Father’s Day shopping for the different men in your life!

For a Classic Father’s Day Gift - A Tie!

Ties have almost become a joke when it comes to Father’s Day, but here are a few standouts that will definitely not be a cliche!

Vera Bradley – Vera’s classic, preppy style works as well with ties as it does with tote bags! At verabradley.com, you’ll find a terrific assortment of brightly colored silk ties, including paisley and leopard patterns, and the price is great too! verabradley.com, $38)

Fashion Forward – the ties created by Gytha Mander are perfect for the dad that needs to wear a tie every day and is looking for a little bit of individuality! These ties have dual prints that when knotted feature one pattern at the knot and one on the front! Creative, but still conservative enough for the business world! (gythamander.com, $90)

Angela Moore – these ties sport a fabulous Palm Beach feeling no matter where you live! With palm trees, lighthouses, sailboats and flip flops, this is the perfect tie for a casual Friday or summer cocktail party! (angelamoore.com, $55)

For A Baseball Fan – Cuff Links!

Ballpark Cuff Links – this is a truly special gift for the baseball loving dad! Created from salvaged, wooden seats from America’s most famous and beloved stadiums, these sterling silver cuff links are coated with the original paint of the home team’s colors and hallmarked with the stadium’s name! This year, give your dad a piece of baseball history! Available parks include: Fenway, Yankee, Busch, Tiger, Comisky, Shea, Dodger, Wrigley or RFK. (redenvelope.com, $150 for all except Fenway, which is $230)

For A Nature Lover – Log Bowls!Handmade Log Bowls -

I just love these hand crafted log bowls that will be the perfect spot to stow dad’s change, watch, cuff links and other pocket items! The bowls are created from actual logs, each with its own unique, organic shape with an interior that is glazed with colorful acrylic paint. (Log Bowls, $50, red or yellow)

For the Retired Dad or Grandfather – A Hometown Puzzle!

Personalized Hometown Jigsaw Puzzle – “imagine piecing together an aerial view” of your own hometown! This great puzzle is a 400 piece depiction of your dad’s home base, replicated from a U.S. Geological Survey Map, including roads, waterways, and significant sites or buidings. Finished size is 18 1/4″ x 12 1/4″. When ordering, you’ll need to provide the specific street address, city, state and zip code and allow 2 to 3 weeks for delivery! (thewirelesscatalog.com, $39.95)

For Any Dad – A Ticket Stub Diary

The Ticket Stub Diary – this gift is perfect for any guy of any age! This small keepsake diary is made especially for concert goers, sports fans, theatre lovers, and more! The diary gives dad a place to preserve up to 118 special ticket stubs, along with a spot to record memories of each event! To make this gift even more special, consider putting real tickets into the diary! Baseball? Movies? A Concert? Choose whatever your dad likes best! (Ticket Stub Diary at Amazon.com)
