Father's Day - what a great opportunity to spoil the fathers in our lives. As we gather life experiences, we gather father figures. We have, of course, our own fathers and grandfathers. Our children | have fathers or stepfathers who are key in their lives. In this special edition of Show and Tell Me, we have some great gift suggestions for those wonderful but tough-to-buy-for guys.
In the last Show and Tell Me, we highlighted JTaga's terrific line of abstract-figured ties (www.jtaga.com). If you missed the newsletter, check it out in our archives - these ties can't be beat.

One word - Barbecue. One great prepackaged gift - the Barbecue Deluxe Gift Box from the Spice House (www.thespicehouse.com). We have loved the Spice House for years, and this Gift Box is one of their top sellers. As if the great selection of spices wasn't enough, the packing material around the spices is cinnamon sticks, whole nutmegs and bay leaves! The Spice House features a (free!) collection of recipes for BBQ and other cuisines. Plus we love to give gifts that can be used up! |
Another gift our guys have no trouble using up comes from The Wine Buyer (www.winebuyer.com). The Wine Buyer is a great site for wine-lovers (we would use the word oenophiles, but we think we would sound insufferably stuck-up) of all knowledge levels. For the expert, try the Request It feature to find that special bottle you've been looking for. For the inquiring mind, learn about wine ratings and symbols, and then seek out a great wine. If he just likes to drink the stuff, choose from the Hot Wines, Best Buys, Top Picks or even the Under $10 sections. The Wine Buyer will give you a 10% case discount on six bottles!
the great major league parks. For a splurge, check out the baseball glove leather briefcases. Until May 31, the entire site is on a 10% off sale.
For gadget lovers, click on over to Wishingfish, home of useful and wacky gadgets (www.wishingfish.com). The Push-It Travel Alarms are small, bright and - well - accurate! We can speak from experience when we say that the Airzooka lives up to its billing of providing "hours of mindless amusement." The Airzooka shoots a ball of air (invisible, of course!). With diligent practice, your mighty hunter can become quite accurate, and startle the unwary (over and over and over. . .). If all of this fun slows Dad's upward progress at work, Corporate Flashcards will help him to bone up on his meaningless corporate jargon.
Our Father's Day gift to you? A fun and stress-free shopping experience!
Your Girlfriends who are blessed to be daughters, granddaughters, mothers and wives,
Terri, Suzanne and Alex
