Friday Five - Dad Edition

Is everybody ready for Father's Day?  I am now that I remembered it's this weekend (oops!).  At least I remember before the actual day...that's counts for something, right?

Anyways, I've been searching online for gift ideas and I want to share some of favourite ideas that I found.

1. Tool Box Card

What a fantastic idea for a father's day card, and it looks very easy to make.

2. Tactical BBQ Apron

Who wouldn't like being prepared for any type of BBQ situation?

3. Broken Windshield Tie by Cyberoptix

You can't go wrong with the classic tie.  I've purchased a few Cyberoptix ties before for Dan, and I've been really impressed with the vibrancy of the colours.  A lot of the designs are bold graphic prints but I really quite like this subtle design of a light blue with lighter blue ink.

4. Tea Aficionado by David's Tea

I'm pretty sure David's Tea released this tea set for last year's fathers day, so I don't believe it's currently available.  I wanted to include it regardless because I think the cigar case is such a neat idea.  Also the teas sound delicious- Buttered Rum, Brazillionaire (with coconut, raisins and Brazil nuts,) and Whiskey White (a white tea with peach, macadamia nuts, lily flowers and a shot of flavoring). 

I wish I saw this set last year because it would be perfect for my dad -- he's a huge tea lover.

5. Beer Soap

The alcohol is removed from the beer prior to it being made from soap.  The beer is combined with natural oils, essential oils and top shelf fragrances.   The soap comes in a corrugated cardboard gift box packed with wood savings...can't get manlier than that.
