Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Father’s Day  is less than a month away. So, it’s time to start planning ahead and picking a thoughtful and interesting gift for the dads in your life.

Of course, it’s been on our minds as well and we have collected some gift ideas that are tops on our list for this Father’s Day. (Yes, we have purchased many of the items ourselves with our own personal dough.)

Awesome Cufflinks

We love cufflinks, especially all the unique and customized ones we’ve found.

Clockwise from the top left:
* Star Wars Cufflinks
* Secret Message Cufflinks
* Silhouette Cufflinks
* Vintage Map Cufflinks

A Kindle 

 

We’ve tried it and we LOVE it. The Kindle not only qualifies as a splurge as a Mother’s Day gift, but for dad too.

Custom Engraved Book

We featured Engrave Your Book last year (I even ordered a customized Moleskine for my husband). They specialize in translating artwork and images onto hand-crafted leather Moleskine covers. (While this service is no longer available through Engrave Your Book, be sure to check out Etsy for custom engraving.)

This year we found the iWood which is a maker of wooden covers for the iPod, iPhone and iTouch. This is every shade of awesome as you can add a monogram or personal message via engraving. (These cases are no longer available, however, you can still find wooden cases on Etsy and Amazon.)

Matching Sets of Clothes

 

We’re not into matchy-matchy, particularly when it comes to moms and their daughters or twins, for that matter. But, fathers and sons in identical swim trunks or board shorts look awfully cute.

Almost the entire of Vilebrequin’s collection is available in adult and junior sizes, starting as young as six months. However, the adorable doesn’t come cheap. Though having bought matching swim trunks for my husband, father and son, I can attest first-hand that the quality is superior.

 

Now that J.Crew has a junior line, you can pair father & son board shorts or swim trunks at slightly better prices.

Also, these matching father and son t-shirts are darling.

Best TV Shows on DVD

The past ten years of television have been amazing and I don’t know any father who wouldn’t love a complete series of a television show that he always wanted to, but didn’t have time to watch. Here are some suggestions: The Shield, Mad Men, Dexter, The Wire and Battlestar Galactica. Picking just one is difficult, so we’ll leave it up to you since you know your loved ones best!
