Finding Gifts For Dad

Easy Gift Ideas For Dad On Father's Day
By Ololade Franklin

Father's Day is just around the corner. If you're looking for a gift a little more exciting than the traditional tie, consider making up a men's pamper gift set. Personal care products, whether you purchase them or make them yourself, make wonderful pampering treats. Here are some ideas for men's pamper gift sets that you can put together yourself.
The Fragrance Sampler: If Dad likes fragrance, give him a selection of men's colognes in a gift container.
The Shaving Kit: Give the man who shaves a kit containing a shaving mask, a shaving soap or cream, an aftershave splash, and a fancy razor.
The Foot Care Kit: If Dad is on his feet a lot, his feet could probably use some pampering. Give him a gift basket containing a foot soak, a foot wash, a foot spray, and foot powder. Include a pumice stone, nail clippers, or some comfy slippers.
The Soap Basket: Give Dad a collection of luxury soaps in scents just for men. Include a towel and washcloth personalized with his initials for an extra special touch.
To make your gift even more special package it in a unique gift container. Baskets in interesting shapes, small travel bags, or fabric gift bags can add interest to your gift and make it even more useful.
Give Dad one of these gift sets on Father's Day and he will feel really special.

Ok, so are all you guy’s bout ready to lose your lunch? I am.
First, let me state that I’m sure that the author means well in its selections, but if you follow the link you end up at a soap sales web page.
Now let me also point out that I’m sure there are countless numbers of women that are looking at this article and asking “what’s wrong with these gifts?”
Well nothing, if you are buying gifts for another woman!
Those choices make as much sense to me as buying power tools for my wife (although, in this case I think she would probably like them).
It’s because of this type of logic that I’m starting my own business http://www.writestylegifts.com/. One where a person can be free of countless gifts of socks, ties, cartoon covered BVD’s and FOOT SOAP!
I got the Idea one day while waiting for my lovely wife at our local mall. While there, I noticed that there are no shops that specialize in gifts for men. Except for young hip-hop, or metrosexual type stores. (By the way I’m not ready to get into an argument about those topics yet.) There are no sporting goods, Custom Auto parts, Tattoo parlors, Tool stores. No fishing, guns, and camping stores (not to be confused with sporting goods). Gone are the days of Cigar Stores and places where manly virtues can be celebrated in the new malls of America.
This is where I come in. Semi retired (not by choice). One of the first “baby boomers” to apply for Social Security. And Still just a bit angry about the whole Richard Nixon thing.
So, to all you people that want an “Old School” type guy’s opinion, Welcome!
If you have Ideas about some gift and I’m currently not offering it, just let me know.
Respectfully,
Barney (and yes that’s my real name!)
