What Are You Getting Your Dad for Father's Day?
Permalink Closed

Just curious what everyone is getting their dad for Father's Day and what are you doing to celebrate?


My dad just built a really beautiful bar, from scratch,  in my parents basement.  I know he's really proud, so I got him some stuff for his bar.


This is all from Crate and Barrel -


4 of these Margarita Glasses:



These Coasters, in green to match:



an ice bucket:



And Margarita rimming salt:



At first I thought this was more of a womanly gift..but I think he'll enjoy it since he just built this bar.  What do you guys think?

that's a great gift!  he'll love how it ties in to his recent project. 


i got my dad a book about enron and how they got caught ("enron: the smartest guys in the room") and some nice hand cream.  the hand cream is a bit of a joke because my mom took him to sephora recently and had him get all these products, and he was kind of mystified about everything, like the facial moisturizer and deep conditioner.  also, he'd never realized until then that you don't really need to wash your hair twice every time, despite the directions on the bottle, and for years kept saying he didn't know why his hair was so dry.  now at age 57 he's learning!

Scarlett -- Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Who knew they were just trying to get you to use up the product more quickly!?!


I'm getting my dad a book on tape/CD b/c is eyesight isn't too good anymore. I don't know which book yet... probably something related to American history (Revolutionary or Civil War) I'm also getting him some chocolate bars. He loves hershey's chocolate and almonds. He's low-maintenance...

Have you seen the movie yet?  I don't know if it's playing where you live because I think it's a smaller film, but it's really good and very informative.  Funny too.


I got my dad......a polo shirt!    I know, how exciting!

I'm not going to be in town and I just got my family some nice presents from traveling so I just made him a CD. My dad's really into music so I'm exposing him to "indie rock."

I saw the movie - it was fantastic! I highly recommend it. I'm buying my dad a Conway Twitty cd. No really. He asked me, "What's that thing you got me for my music in the truck?" Me: "The cd player?" (really nice one i might add) Him: "Yeah. What does it play?" Me: "Um, do you mean cds?" Him: "Yeah. Get me one of those." Me: "Just any old one?" Him: "No. I want Conway Twitty." Me: "Alllllriiiight. Whatever you say Dad." This from a guy who digs his rock 'n roll. Beats me. He won't say anything else he wants and he's nortoriously hard to shop for so a Conway Twitty cd it is. Good thing he buys anything he wants anyway.
