Thinking Out Of The Box for Father’s Day Gift Giving.

Father’s day is on June 17th and we’re starting to think about what to get for Dad.  Sure you could get him another #1 Dad t-shirt or coffee mug, but let’s think out of the box and really surprise Dad with something different or unusual.

Here’s my silly Father’s Day Window Display.  It may not be pretty and bright but I had fun doing it :)

THINK outside the box… get it? :)

Is Dad a construction worker, or does he just fix things up around the house? How about one of our Toys For Big Boys.  Each piece is handcrafted by Keith Massey from right here in Mount Forest.  They are completely constructed of wood with absolutely no nails or screws.  The wood is unpainted to show the beauty and they have moving parts, for example, the blade of the Bull Dozer raises up and it also will turn side to side.

1/24 scale Bull Dozer $99.00

1/24th scale Skid Steer $99.00

1/24th scale Back Hoe $99.00

1/24th Wood Hi-Hoe $99.00 SOLD

Is Dad a Fire Fighter?  Check this out.

1/24th scale Fire Truck $299.00

Is your Dad into the rodeo, a horse man, a farmer or maybe just a hat collector?  Our Caliber Hats make a great conversation piece and they come in handy to put on your head to keep the sun off your face :)  You can read the whole story about our Caliber hats by clicking here.

Caliber Hats with Genuine Mexican Shootout Bullet Hole $25.00

Maybe Dad is a homebody and his family is very important to him.  Go through some of your old photos, you know those one that are actually printed from film and not just in a file on your computer.  Pull out a couple of nice pictures of you and your Dad and put them in this Family Picture Frame.  It even has a small shelf and a couple of hooks  so he has a place to hang his hat and his keys when he gets home.

Family Photo Frame $19.99

Some Dads are gardeners, but how many sprinklers and trowels does a guy need?  Here’s a way to say I Love You and think out of the box at the same time.  Give Dad a Forever Leather Rose.  Roses are the flower of love and leather is so very manly, what better combination could there be?  To see our available collection of Forever Leather Roses, just click here.

Some Dads love to cook, but he already has the BBQ, the tongs and the #1 Dad apron and oven mitt.  Well lets think TexMex and get him a Molcajete.  Now Dad can whip up a fresh batch of Guacamole or Salsa for the next backyard get together!

Molcajete $19.99

Well, those are just a few of our suggestions for thinking out of the box for this Father’s Day.  If you’d like to order any of these just click on the order button at the top of the page.  If you’d like I’ll wrap it up and put a card in your gift and have it delivered right to your Dad for you.  Of course you can always just stop into the store and see what else we have to offer :)

Until next time,

Sherry

Do you know what time it is?

If you answered “no” then maybe you need a clock:)

Nancy and Lena Martin, Mennonite sisters from Mount Forest create beautiful china clocks.  They have lots of different designs from flora and fauna to sayings and monograms.

Nancy and Lena call their business Creative China Decorating.  I’ll be uploading more of their work as I get the time
