8 TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL FATHER’S DAY SHOPPING

Every year I struggle with an idea of what to buy for my husband for Father’s Day.  So finally I asked him.  What tips would you give to women who are trying to buy a great gift for their Father or Husband?  Here’s what he said that men like.

UNIQUE PRODUCTS  Go for a unique item that he can put on his desk such as a large mineral that can be used as a paperweight.  Any man that has office meetings would appreciate a unique desk accessory which will look cool and provide a great conversation starter for those times when a little small talk is required.

USEFUL PRODUCTS  Men like useful gifts.  He said that more than once.  I get it.  Useful, useful, useful.  So, another blue tie is out.  In, he says, are things like bookends, clocks or gadgets.

GET MASCULINE  No girly items for Father’s Day.  Go for big and bold with manly colors.

GO NATURAL  Men who love the outdoors or the “go green” movement will love natural products like rock bookends, mineral spheres, or wood frames.

NO TIES  Really, do I need to explain?

GADGET DECOR  Men love big television sets, DVRs and stereos so why not dress them up with some beautiful, natural home accents?  Fill spaces on your entertainment center with beautiful home accents like decorative agate stone bookends or mineral sphere.

SHOP WITH THE CHILDREN  With a little guidance children can do a great job shopping for Daddy.  Their minds remember everything he has mentioned for months and you may be amazed at the items they choose because “Daddy said he liked it.”

ONE OF A KIND  Pick something for the man you love that is truly one of a kind.  Rock and mineral home accents from www.GivernyOnline.com are unique because every rock is slightly different.  You are sure to please him with a one of a kind gift!

My husband’s favorite items, agate stone bookends, amethyst clocks, crystal (quartz, amethyst, citrine) lamps and mineral (sodalite, jasper, obsidian) spheres are all available in our “Gifts for Men” section of our website.
