You may have noticed that Father’s Day’s around the corner, and it leaves me with mixed feelings. Sure, as a Dad it’s great to have a day recognising our efforts, but it constantly feels like we put a lot less thinking into it than Mother’s Day.
Maybe we’re too hard to shop for. We invariably see variations on the same gifts every year—booze. Gadgets. Sports stuff. Shaving things. New tools, automotive merchandise… if you’re going to get Dad a gift this June, you should at least do it right.
This sentiment in mind, I’m here to remind you that Mark’s has so much more than shirts and neckties for your Father’s Day shopping this June! You can keep him looking stylish with gifts like a pair of Timberland Grantly Chelsea Boots ($159.99). Or Silver Jeans Co.’s “Eddie” Relaxed Fit Tapered Leg Jeans ($115.00). Or you could get him ready for when summer inevitably ends months from now (#TooSoon?), and put a Denver Hayes HD1 Cross Hatch Stroller Jacket ($119.99) on his back like the one I’m rocking this fall!
I like it—and shopping at Mark’s—because they carry product combining fashion with functionality. The Stroller Jacket’s water-repellent, breathable, and easy to wash, so for a Dad routinely at his little boys’ mercy, it’s a perfect fit. (#DadJoke.)
And if I’ve learned anything from my time writing posts for Mark’s, I’m not the only one who’s down with their brand—plenty of my readers tell me how much they trust Mark’s to give them the right gear for their work and personal needs!
Show Dad You Care with a Father’s Day Gift from Mark’s—The Kind of Gift He’ll REALLY Use.
So this Father’s Day, let’s all try to do a little better and give our Dads something they can actually use. Our homes are already easy to fill with clutter—it’s time we help our fathers be the men they want to be. They act the part and often talk the part—help the make sure they continue looking the part.
I hope you have an excellent Father’s Day planned, and until the next,

Sadly my Dad passed away 7 years ago and we miss him dearly.
About 15 years ago, I bought my Dad a picture frame that you can record a message on. We had a big family party on Dad’s 80th birthday and he put a pic that was taken that day in the frame and recorded a message about it. We like to play the recording on special anniversaries to hear his voice and sometimes it plays on it’s own!

My dad passed away a week before Xmas, 2005. The last few years his health was not good (vascular dementia), but when he was active, he loved going fly fishing for a few days in the spring & fall. When my godfather was alive, he took him too. He camperized a Dodge Maxivan, so when it was complete, I furnished it with matching unbreakable dishes & cutlery. When he couldn’t go any longer, he was just as happy with a bottle of Wiser’s Deluxe, or a classical CD or 2.
