Five Great Ideas for Father’s Day Gifts

As Father’s Day approaches,  June 21st to be exact, we thought we would share five great ideas to get your wheels spinning!

If you are looking for creative gift wrap check out Heidi’s gift wrap collection featured to the left. We are in love with her collection and ideas, so go see!

.
1. The Serial Reader: For the dad who loves to read, check out the Kindle: Amazon’s 6″ Wireless Reading Device (Latest Generation) ($299). With the 3G wireless feature you can download books right from the Kindle, anytime, anywhere; no monthly fees, service plans, or hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots. Some books include the new text-to-speech feature, this baby can read every newspaper, magazine, blog, and book out loud.

2. The Photographer: We posted this one for moms, but we think it is great for the photo savvy dad who loves to snap pics too, we suggest the Eye-fi Card ($59-$79). All you have to do is put the card in your digital camera and all of your shots are loaded straight to your computer without ever having to lift a finger. It’s like magic. If he has a flickr.com account, the pictures can also be uploaded there too. We think this is a hit for all tech savvy dads.

3. The Aspiring Chef: Jacques Pepin More Fast Food My Way ($20.16) is a great recipe book to give for Father’s Day. We love Jacques style and his recipes are amazing, this particular book is full of easy quick meals with a french twist that he can try out on you!

4. Starting the Green Journey: For the Dad that is interested in making a difference. The Blue Avocado Mavons have developed a line that also fits dads! Give him the gift of green with this Blue Avocado Solid Kit System.  Their Solid Kit™ ($69.99) includes everything from large multi-use bags, totes, to ventilated produce bags. You have two colors to choose from. All of the bags are responsibly manufactured with recycled material and a carbon footprint label. By carrying their system, an average shopper can replace up to 1,000 plastic bags every year.

5. The Wine Aficionado: For the Dad who loves wine, try this Legnoart Grand Crue Sommelier Corkscrew ($48.60). It is a beautifully designed piece by Enrico Albertini that any Wine Aficionado would love to have. Top your gift off with a bottle of wine to complete this fab Father’s Day surprise.
