We’re heading to Victoria BC for a visit! This is my home town, and I can’t wait to get back since it’s been 3 years. I’m so excited to show the kids where they were born and know they will have a blast!

We will be partially closing our shop until July 20th. Our ready to ship items will  be available and we’ll still be around to answer any questions.

kind of dreading the air plane trip since it’s just me and my 3 kids, but I figure with a little lot of sugar products, we will survive.

and yes, it is this amazing…

Father’s day is just around the corner!  It’s often hard to know what to get him, so we’ve put together a list of interesting ideas.

Time

There is no better gift than the gift of time.  Here’s a fun book that caught my eye.

Card

A great card goes a long way. Some fun ones over at Happytimesco.

Wallet/Tie

Here’s a fun twist on the classic Tie gift. A necktie wallet. This wallet is made from a reconstructed vintage necktie and a retired wool suit. Many other designs available at prix-prix.

Soap (?)

Definitely an unexpected gift for dad…soap!  This kind, however will sure to win him over. There is a whole section of ‘beer and manly soaps’ over at Beautifulsoaps.

Food

Some unusual treats are available at cacaobakery.  How about some scotch cupcakes, or, better yet (or not) a Bacon and beer brownie.

Picture

Update that picture frame on his desk to something cool and modern like this solid walnut wood frame from Black Elm he’s sure to get comments on.

Handmade

How about something handmade?

Here’s an idea- just a piece of construction paper with a random (Martha Stewart) magazine subscription card taped to it.

This was the gift that was made and proudly presented by our (then) 3 year old son last year. It was a good laugh, memory and best of all, Dad felt loved by his son.

No matter what you give Dad this year, it doesn’t matter, as long as he is made to feel loved and appreciated!

Enjoy your Father’s day!
