I love gift guides. I really do. In fact, this is my favorite part about November, I buy all the magazines with gift guides. It’s a problem I know, a real addiction. I’ll spend hours looking at them for inspiration and ideas. So this year I had an epiphany, if you will call it, and decided to make my own gift guides! I’m so excited, seriously. I hope you find them useful too!
So the first gift guide I have decided to make is one for a person we all hold dear, Dad. Here is goes….
Gift Guide, Dad
1. Burt’s Bees Men’s Bar soap, 4- ounce
This soap from The Burt's Bees men line is manly enough to keep your dad from axe while being free of harsh chemicals. You can get it here: http://www.amazon.com
2. Gerber® Remix Serrated Knife
Every man needs a good pocket knife for doing all those crazy, daredevil things that only a pocket knife can handle...such as opening boxes. This one isn't too flashy and has a good handle.

4. Original Astronaut Space Pen
This pen is so on my list for things to get Dad.This pen has serious street cred, as the website says: This is the original Fisher Space Pen that was used on the Apollo 7 space mission in 1968 after 2 years of testing by NASA and has been used on all manned space flights since then. Plus you can write upside down, under-water and it doesn't rely on gravity to work--just in-case. ALSO according to a customer review, it can survive the washing machine, which is important if you have a dad like mine. You can get it here: http://www.spacepen.com.
5. Jonathan Adler Pipe Match Striker
