Fun Father’s Day Gifts for 2011

Great Gifts for Dads:  The Best of Father’s Day 2011!

It’s that time again when we have to rally in order to come up with Father’s Day gift ideas for the men in our lives!  Here’s the round up for 2011!

Artisan Leather Electronic Covers

Designed for iPad, iPhone, MacBook and Kindle, these artisan-crafted covers are tailored from supple, vegetable-tanned leather in a lovely chestnut color! These leather accessories from Restoration Hardware were sold out at the holidays, so now is the perfect time to pick one up!  (Restoration Hardware, Artisan Leather iPad Pocket, $99)

Tie Organizers

These organizers of the classic male wardrobe staple will keep men tidy and smiling at the same time.  With categories like “Dress to Impress” and “Working for the Money,” the appropriate tie will always be at his fingertips! (red envelope, Tie Hangers Set, $39.95)

Vintage Record Album Card Files

Dad can use this unique hand crafted gift to organize addresses or business cards, while reminding him of his youth!  Colorful wooden boxes become efficient file boxes with dividers crafted from vintage record albums! (FreestyleGifts, Business Card File Box, $55)

Father and Son Neckties

At a great site called My Favorite Pal, you’ll find matching neckties for dad and his son!  The sizes are broad ranging and the patterns are fabulous!  Look for colorful regimental stripes and a terrific yellow and white check!  (My Favorite Pal, Matching Neckties, $12.99 – $16.99)

Bottle “Ties”

These clever trims will turn any simple bottle of wine or liquor into a special present!  Striped and solid, bow tied and neck tied, these snazzy felt accessories will upgrade your gift instantly!  (at west end, Bow Ties; Striped Ties; Solid Ties, sold in sets for $14 – $18)

For better or worse, I’ve just realized that this selection of five gifts includes three that are “necktie” related – but I hope that these choices are unique enough to rise above the Father’s Day cliché!
