Dad's Day Roundup

Father's Day has snuck up on me this year.  You too?  I for one marvel at the accomplishments, generosity and spirit of the two dads in my life, my father and my husband.  Here are a few LM ways to show them the love.

The best things in life can't be bought.  It's also a reality that sometimes even the most wildly organized among us fail to produce a winning gift in time for the big day.  In this case, we suggest the beloved voucher.  Consider it your husband's get-out-of-jail-free card to sleep late, play golf, fish, ride or do whatever makes him smile.  Please note, you cannot grimace, moan, or make any other derogatory gesture when he actually redeems it.

For needlepoint belts that won't require you to sew a stitch, look no further than Tucker Blair.

If seersucker and bourbon make you swoon, Southern Proper captures the endless charm of the well-tailored gentleman.  The Hound Dog Gent Tie and the Trout Beau Tie caught my eye.  Don't take my word for it.  Check out the entire collection to see what suits daddy dear.

And now for my absolute favorite shopping spot for men, Vineyard Vines.  How adorable are these margarita-themed swim trunks?  If your guy won't do pink (mine won't.....boo hoo!), they also come in blue.

This year I opted to encourage my husband's new-found interest in grilling since our move to the burbs.  Naturally (and quite selfishly) I am vitally invested in nurturing this hobby.  To get the grill on, turn to Williams-Sonoma Gifts for the Griller.  By the way, I waddled my very pregnant self to the store to try every single one of the BBQ Sauces and they were all amazing!

If your goal is to make dad cry, look no further than Snapfish, Shutterfly, or one of the host of other online photo sites.  These websites make it turn-key to create a sweet memory book of the year--pictures of dads with children, grandchildren.  Their reaction makes the time investment worth every minute.  I'm no techie and it took me about two hours.

With x's and o's and a Happy Father's Day!
