Gifts for Dad, Father!

Christmas, Birthdays, Father's Day!

Christmas, Birthdays, Father's Day - the days when the typical father will receive gifts or ties, shirts, something electronic, or tools. This lens will focus on Unique gifts for Dad/Men for Christmas, Birthdays or Father's Day. Gifts they can use, but are more creative than the usual bland tie or shirt.

We have occasionally given my husband (father of 3 girls) unique/creative gifts. The photo to the left is one of those "unique" gifts. His profession is a carpenter so he has every tool belt imaginable, but he didn't have a "Bubba" tool belt! But he does now!

Daddy's Hands Video 

This is my daughter's favorite song. They fall asleep to it every night. It especially helps them when he is out of town. Enjoy this song as you shop through my selection of unique Father's Day gifts!

Daddy's Hands

This is a pictoral video to go with the song that Holly Dunn wrote and sang as a tribute to her father.

Ties, Ties, and More Ties 

100_1915



Ties ... ok you probably thought I wouldn't go here! Ties aren't unique! Ah ... but they can be. I heard a man state once that the only kind of ties he wore were "statement" ties - ties that "said" something. So the following are some "statement" ties. They can show you allegiances(favorite college or football team) or your profession or maybe they are just cute. My girls had their photo taken at one of the mall photo places a couple of years ago. One of the options was to put one of the photos on a tie. My husband calls this his "girlie" tie. The first tie is one of those places that you can personalize with your photo. You can also go to York Photo or Snapfish for the same options. Enjoy the ties!

Ever look down and discover that your tie has wandered away from the center of your shirt? Fix it with the Tiedown, a simple solution for your necktie fashion foibles. The Tiedown will save you from all the stains and inconvenience of everyday life without leaving holes in an expensive necktie (like tie pins do), or flashing a lot of corny/gaudy metal as some tie bars do. The Tiedown is the classy yet invisible solution to your necktie problems. Made from 100% post consumer recycled plastic or leather, the Tiedown will fit any shirt's buttons and strap down your beautiful tie through the horizontal tie tag on the back, hiding your tie tail, centering your tie and sharpening your look.
