An old school Fathers Day gift guide

Note: The products included were either sent to us for review, or include affiliate links.

I asked Mr. S which Fathers Day gifts he remembered and I was shocked that each of them were the types of things that I may have given my dad…or my dad may have given his father. I suppose it has to do with either tradition or maybe that they’re sterotypes, but either way I figure that

MEMORABLE GIFTS tend to be the most practical

I remember that MP3 player that we never could figure out how to use when they first came out that we got Mr. S and realized that 30 years later he still had those ties, wore those undershirts and carried that billfold till it was no longer functional.

The plain white HANES t-shirt – UPGRADED

Hanes® ComfortBlend® Superior Softness Undershirts

Hanes has taken its ComfortBlend® fabric and added the smoothing benefit of modal to create its softest tee ever. Just touch it, and immediately you’ll know that softness has reached a new level. So, while the white t-shirt may be traditional, the feel is very 2017.

Why? 

  • Cotton-Modal blend offers superior comfort
  • Includes FreshIQ™ advanced odor protection technology
  • Hanes softest tee ever
  • Quick drying and durable fabric shrinks less and keeps its shape
  • Tag-free for itch-free comfort
  • Lay flat collar
  • $12.00 for 3 Pack, in Crewneck and V-neck, available at Hanes.com and Walmart.com
  • Sizes S-2X, in Crew Neck and V-Neck styles

The TIE 

I am a HUGE fan of Paul Smith for men and his ties are no exception. This skinny Paul Smith tie in silk jacquard is detailed with a colorful flower pattern. Made of 100% silk it is available from one of my favorite places online to buy men’s apparel – East Dane.

No one said a wallet had to be boring

While gifting dad a wallet may be traditional, this Salvatore Ferragamo wallet from East Dane is anything but, and while it may set you back a pretty penny it is truly a statement that says – YOU DESERVE IT DAD.

    I gave my dad 50 pounds of beef one year, he loved it! It was pretty weird though…

    One year I didn’t have much money. So I took a jar I already had and got out my paints, painted DAD right on the front and Hands Off on the back with some other art. Then I went to the store and bought 2 bags of Orange Slices (the candy) and put them in it. He absolutely loved it, said it was the best gift he’d gotten in a long time. Those are his favorite candy.

    I usually give my Dad gift cards, so he can go buy his own crazy gifts! 🎁

    I organized the family into contributing to “buying” (via donation) a locker with Dad’s name and athletic record on a plaque at the new stadium they built where Dad played college football. I guess that’s not crazy, but I think it is kind of awesome.

    Every year I told my Dad he was getting a hamster for a present, I never did. Now that he’s gone I wished I would have.

    When I was 10 years old, I saved months and months of allowance to buy my dad a microwave. He didn’t have one so I thought he could use one. The funny thing is that he stored it in his kitchen pantry closet and never used it.

    Not that cologne is a crazy gift, however, knowing how much my Dad loves and wears cologne, I always get him some. I;m crazy because he wears entirely too much and I can smell him for days, miles away!

    Not really sure, we weren’t really into gifts growing up however; he would get the BEST gag gifts from my British grandmother (his mother-in-law) ~ every Christmas wrapped in Naughty Santa wrapping she would have a brand spanking new Willy Warmer. Yes, it was a thing. Yes, the English have a wicked sense of humor ROTFL.
