Lately we have been hearing a lot about the economy and gas prices and that can put a damper on shopping for Father’s Day! Okay so we can’t offer you a vacation from gas taxes, or a tax refund but we have looked on the net and found a stimulus package of sorts. Here is a list of stores and the discounts they are offering at least through Father’s Day! Happy Shopping!

Red Envelope- Red Envelope is an eclectic mix of products. I love this store and they are offering many gifts under $50.00 and if you spend $150.00 and use the code CELEBRATED at checkout they will give you a $50.00 discount.

The Playboy Store - is always a plethora of excitement. They are offering up to 50% discounts on multiple items, $5.00 flat rate shipping, and a DVD entitled The Bunny Years with orders of $75.00 or more.

Things Remembered- A treasure trove of gifts for under $50.00. My personal favorite is the Water Globe. It holds a picture of Dad’s favorite memory and has room for engraving. All of the gifts on the site are unique and have room to be engraved adding to the charm.

Amazon- What doesn’t Amazon have? In addition to the regular stuff that you can hunt for, they have listed gifts for Dad in categories from under $25.00 to over $100. There is fast shipping and plenty of discounts available.

Father’s Day is the 15th and so there aren’t that many shopping days left. Enjoy!

Indiana Jones Fans will not be disappointed. I remember seeing all of Dr. Jones adventures with my Dad and as I took my own son last weekend to see the latest but not the last installment of Indy, I realized we have all aged a bit and some things are never the same as the first time although they may still hold sentimental appeal.

My son often tells me not to be such a chick, so on to the manly thoughts that hold a little less talk, and a lot more action. The Noble Collection offers the accouterments of the would be Dr. Jones that prefers to act out his fantasies at home.

There are so many clichés about time they can not all be listed. Perhaps the most notable concept revolving around time is that it is the only commodity that cannot be replenished. 121TIME.com offers the most sophisticated of timepieces with a manly look and feel and moderate pricing. The exceptionally interesting offering on 121 is the ability to create a timepiece from scratch.

It is absolutely true, you can choose the face, bezel, movement, strap color and second hand. There is hardly a better way to make time your own than literally creating it yourself.

Many virtues make 121 unique:

121TIME.com
is the first Swiss Made quality watch making company exclusively accessible on Internet.

121TIME.com
is the first watch company to offer such a high level of customer participation in the purchase process that creates a unique experience with high emotional content. With its platform, 121TIME can deliver more experience to each customer.

You can personalize the back of your watch by adding to it a text and/or a logo, which you will have chosen. This option is automatically available to you at the end of the process of creation of your watch.

As we near Father’s Day make sure, Dad remembers the time.

Father’s Day generally reveals a tie or some other standard gift that is always appreciated but rarely surprising. Well good news Father Fans. Here is a chance for you to do something remarkable and memorable. Franklin Mint is one of the most loved source of collectibles and they never disappoint.

Their current collection of cars, motorcycles, fire truck and military vehicles is rockin! The detail is one each vehicle is reminiscent of the actual vehicle, and the colors are vibrant and bold.

Any dad that fancies himself a James Bond enthusiast will love the BMW Z8 Roadster. James Bond drove this 2000 model year car in 1999’s Bond Film, The World Is Not Enough, starring Pierce Brosnon.

This particular BMW Z8 offers:

Precision engineered in 1:24 scale with a body of real aluminum, just like the real thing
Hand-assembled from more than 170 separate parts
Packed with authentic details.
Arrives with custom-designed packaging valued by knowledgeable collectors.

This year don’t drive your dad nuts with a standard gift, give the gift of adventure Bond Style

Skymall is the most awesome shop to hit the web. Years ago, Skymall was available only while flying or a frequent flyer could bring the catalog off the plane and call the 800 number. Now Skymall is available any time anywhere, with the coolest gifts for any occasion.

Have you ever been on a transatlantic flight? If you have flown over the ocean you know how crowded those flights can be. If you have ever asked for a blanket and been told by the flight attendant there were no blankets left, you know how long those flights can seem. Worse yet have you asked for a blanket and then received a small itchy dry cleaned rectangular shaped piece of cloth that is only able to cover your shoulders or your legs but not both and there is just no hope for your feet?

Well happy days are here again! Thanks to the Slanket offered on Skymall no one will freeze again. The Slanket is the best blanket - without trouble - for snuggling up with a book or laptop computer. Simply slide your arms in the 13″ -wide sleeves and then turn pages, type, knit or do anything else with your hands without uncovering your body.

The Slanket is made of soft foldable material that will fit easily in any carry on bag. If your man travels and needs to get some rest this is the perfect way to make him feel at home even when he isn’t. There is a variety of colors and a plethora of comfort to be had.

You have heard all the clichés:

• Money can’t buy love
• Better to give than receive
• Come up and see me some time!

Okay you got me, that last one was not a cliché. Those three sayings together are the embodiment of one of the coolest and possibly most intimate gifts available without batteries. You guessed it! Love Tokens.

Although you can’t buy love you can score some extra together time with these Love Tokens that confirm that whether you give or receive it’s all good!

Simply spend these Love Tokens by paying your partner. Each of the Love Tokens has a specific action that will rekindle the romance in no time. Whether it is breakfast in bed or a full body massage you seek, one token will do it.

Love Tokens are also great for the environment, that’s right kids, you can recycle them! Once one partner has spent all the tokens, it is now time for the other partner to start spending.

Trust me payback has never been more romantic and exciting. The interest on these Love Tokens is the best investment you can make.

One of the awesome things about having a bar or game room of your own is the ability to decorate it any way you see fit or your wife will let you.

If Neon is not your style there is a wide variety of reproduced tin signs with many amusing phrases including Alcohol- helping ugly people have sex since 1862! Another fun sign is Free Beer Tomorrow! Just think technically the sign will always be true.

Guinness is always welcome at a bar or a party. There is no better way to treat a Guinness fan than by offering their favorite drink in a glass by the same name! Kegworks has great Guinness Accessories of every size and every budget.

Remember when you were a kid and you had to get your dad a tie for father’s day? What is it about dads and ties? Why does every kid think their dad ABSOLUTELY NEEDS a tie? Well many don’t. I blame the 80’s. The fish tie, the keyboard tie, the cartoon character tie. Those fads gave ties and dads a bad name.

So, ties are not generally thought of as great mens gifts. However, if your dad is someone who appreciates a great tie, here’s a great place to buy one. Our newest sponsor is Boardroomties.com. Now, I am a tie guy. I’ve worn a tie, everyday for work, for like years. Problem is, I tend to wear the same ones over and over again. A tie collection can get outdated pretty quickly. Boardroomties.com is the perfect place help him look sharp and sophisticated. They have an extensive line of brands. Everything from Jones New York, to Bugatti, to Kenneth Cole. You should even check out their line of Jerry Garcia ties.

These guys offer free shipping, free gift boxing, and a free pair of dress socks with every order. You absolutely can’t go wrong.
