father’s day gift guide.

father’s day is sunday, june 21 this year.  are you like me and you have no idea what to get the man in your life?!  my dad has always been happy with an l.l. bean gift card and/or camping gadgets of any kind.  most years, buying for steve stumps me.  i mean, i know what i want for him, but is that what he wants?  (though, isn’t it all about what we want for them anyway?!  #selfish)

so maybe this gift guide will steer you in the right direction???

1. a great pan: does he like to cook?!  (if so, count your blessings!)  all-clad is the best there is, but is pricey.  so piece-meal.  next year?!  he gets the sauce pan! / 2. a cool travel book: steve loves flipping through books like this one / 3. a great jacket: filson’s prices are not for the faint of heart, but steve swears the stuff lasts forever; he has a pair of their chaps that he uses for chainsawing that he got in the ’90s and they’re still going strong (he’s such a man’s man, that steve!) / 4. a classic shoe: i love these shoes on a guy / 5. pocket hose: is he a yard work guy? have you seen the commercials for these?  well, they are actually awesome; no more kinks, no more rolling up hoses!  the pocket hose for the win! / 6. classic board short: they’re classic, they’re a board short.  need i say more? / 7. the perfect sunglasses: i’m not sure there’s a more complimentary sunglass than this one–for all faces! / 8. a very cool wallet: men love wallets, don’t they? / 9. bbq accessories: grilling time is upon us!  how about some great grill accessories?
