Gift Giving

I meant to post a few days ago (really awhile ago...) about what we got my dad for Father's Day. Oops...a few days late on that for sure! I was reminded to write about it because I saw the gift by all the stuff he was traveling with. I just found out that he ended up (proudly) wearing the tie that we got him from Lilly:

We had so many cute options to choose from, but since I'm a totally a pink girl, we picked out this for him! I love Lilly ties for guys of any age. They're so popular with the boys at school. I'd even say that the bowties might be more popular!

Also, a few days ago was my Momma's birthday! Yayyy! We got her the Tiffany Elsa Peretti Open Wave Lariat Necklace! If any of you remember, this is the same special necklace I got for my 18th birthday. My mom loves it so much that we decided she needed one for herself too!

I went to go check it out online, but it was "no longer available". Cue heart sinking and stomach lurching. I immediately call the closest T&CO to my house and ask what the deal was. Well not only did Tiffany have the BEST customer sales representative I've ever dealt with besides Apple, but she entered a system-wide search to see who had this necklace still possibly in stock. That includes ALL of their overseas stores too. After running a search for me, she called me back and told me that she could get one, but she wasn't sure where it would be from but I gave her all the necessary information anyway. Well just two days ago the wonderfully perfect necklace arrived and will be all ready for a birthday presentation when my Mom returns from the beach!

I love giving gifts to people! I always enjoy making gift baskets or finding the perfect gift for someone especially when you know its unexpected, special, and something they wouldn't normally get for themselves!

Father's Day Friday: Day 1

With the fine holiday of Father's Day approaching on the 20th, I thought I'd start a mini series of fabulous gifts for dad's on every Friday until then! I know that every year we tend to get my dad ties, as I'm sure a lot of people do. We've really run the spectrum with different places to get them until this year, a new company has some great ties: Bird Dog Bay!

Check out some of their different varieties:

For the Captain Dad

For the Dad who loves to horse around!

For the "Bad Apple" Lax Dad

For the Bubba Gump Dad (they're crawfish/shrimp and I love Forrest Gump)

For the dog Dad

For the golfing Dad (they're little crocs with golfballs and flags!)

These Bird Dog Bay ties are also BOGO with buy two get one free on their website! Definitely a great deal for the Frugal Dad out there! They have super fun designs that can really be personalized to the tastes of your own Dad! Bird Dog Bay ties are carried in two of the nicest men's stores in Annapolis, Lawrence and Johnson's so I can tell you that they are wonderful quality! At the Pink Crab we often tell the men who dress very nicely to head over to both of those stores for some great stuff. As far as being in the South too, they are also sold at Britton's (and M Dumas in Charleston) the awesome men's store in Columbia right by school (just like Southern Tide!) so it just goes to show you that these ties really do mean business!

We've also gotten a few ties for my dad from NAVY (his alma mater), Vineyard Vines, Joseph A. Banks, the Pink Crab, and even some steals in department stores around here too. Look out for my next post next Friday about other Dad gifts!! 

What are some of the gifts that you're thinking about giving your dad?
