Happy Friday! I should be saying Happy-Almost-Sunday though, because really, is there a better day than the one dedicated to the wonderfulness of our fathers? That’s right, I think Father’s Day is a fabulous holiday, and not just because my daddio is the coolest, most wonderful, amazing person in the world, but because think about how much DAD’s do that goes unnoticed? Something broken? Ask Dad. Need a few bucks? Dad can help. No one to dance with at a party? Who could be a better partner than good ol’ Dad? They deserve a day dedicated to their heroics, and I can’t wait to wish my Dad a Happy Father’s Day. I also can’t wait to get him a few presents, because let’s face it, the tables are usually turned (NOT that I’m complaining, Dad, I’m just saying)! Men are hard to shop for you say? Not at Lamar Park!
Gourmet and Gadgets has extended its store hours all week just for this special holiday and is also offering free gift wrap – need there be more incentive to get a present than that right there? Anything Georgia has in stock would be a fantastic Father’s Day gift, but I particularly love these Wusthof knives, the Proteak cutting board (they go hand-in-hand!) and the William Bounds peppermills. Who says cooking isn’t manly? With any of these your Dad will be itchin’ to get in the kitchen.
Julian Gold also has some wonderful Father’s Day gift ideas. Bond and Creed Colognes are sold exclusively at this Corpus gem and both smell divine…a unique (and well scented) gift indeed. Most men I know would be hard pressed to buy themselves hand cream, which makes Father’s Day an ideal time to go ahead and pruchase some for them. This Ahava Hand Cream set is a perfect gift for a hardworking Dad, and you’ll never have to worry about rough hands ever again.
What would Father’s Day be without a huge Jos. A. Bank sale? June 10-13 enjoy 50% off all traveler polos, sport shirts, and shorts AND 60% off an enormous selection of suits and sport coats. Perfection! And how could I forget Small Planet? Surely Steve and Alyssa have a few specialties up their sleeves – why don’t you take your dad to a nice outdoor lunch on the patio we all know I love so much?
Father’s Day is made easy with Lamar Park, I guess your toughest decision will be what on earth to choose! I wish all of you the most wonderful of Father’s Days, and weekends in general. I hope you are as lucky as I am to have such a wonderful father in your life whose love you cherish more than anything in the world (I mean I had to get sappy…what can I say!?) Until next week!
