5 Things You Could Buy for Father’s Day

May 28, 2009



What? It’s really the end of May?

Here are 5 things I’ve been considering for Father’s Day. (Ben Blair, don’t read this.)

1) T-shirt from Robotcha.
They come in kid size and grown up size. Ben Blair is sort of obsessed with robots.

2) Custom Fingerprint Cufflinks from Womily.
Womily has this amazing line of jewelry (necklaces, bracelets, keyrings, etc) called Touch, that feature the fingerprint/thumbprint of someone you love. They send you a kit to capture your print, you send it back, and they form it into jewelry. So cool! You could capture your babies thumbprints. Or if you have two kids, you could capture one fingerprint from each. Ben Blair is all about a great collection of cufflinks.

3) Comic Book Wallet.
Made by the disabled from pages of recycled comic books. Available as passport holders as well. I don’t think Ben Blair read many comic books as a kid, but they are certainly the basis of his favorite movies as an adult.

4) Belt from Strapped Belts.
Made in Jackson Hole, Wyoming (where we honeymooned), I think these glass buckles are beautiful. And manly enough to keep Ben Blair’s jeans around his waist.

5) Black Lacoste Polo Shirt.
Apparently Ben Blair’s most recent version of this shirt was misplaced in the move. Bummer. Because he looks really good in it. In fact, I’m not sure if I’ve met a man that wouldn’t look good in a black Lacoste polo.

I love the black Lacoste idea. I’m adding that one to my list. The kids are getting my husband new J.Crew bathing suits for all of their summer trips to the pool. It will be a stylish Father’s Day this year.
