Indie T-Shirts For The Guy In Your Life

image
The guy in your life-- he's pretty special, funny, sweet, always thinks of you-- okay, so we may be stretching it. But he's your man, and he just might have a birthday coming up or maybe you just want to pick him up a little something, because I'm sure he just bought you a dozen roses or took you to the ballet. Well, check out these t-shirts from indie artists. For the music lover, a "Sheet Music" t-shirt by Isotope will do the job. For the guy in your life that is going away-- the "We Should Keep In Touch" t-shirt. Got to love this one-- "The Man Behind The Belly"-- the perfect gift for the expecting father. And if your man would wear it, give him Pinkvelvetpress' "I Heart My Wife" t-shirt. If you are looking to buy for yourself, the "Ex-Girlfriend" t-shirt is sure to bring a few laughs amongst the guys. Take a look at the slideshow for more indie t-shirts!

Gifts for Grads: Frame the Memories!

image
Looking for a perfect gift for the graduate in your life? Nothing could be more personal than framing a favorite photo as a gift, especially for high school grads headed off to college. I'm sure you agree - taking the time to print and frame a digital picture can take some serious effort, and is something that often is put at the bottom of the to-do list. That's why I love this photo collage frame from personalizationmall.com: you can pick any one-line message and it is lasered into a matboard. Just print a few photos for the back! Tip: it looks even cuter when you let one photo cut across two letters. For something a little simpler for the green-loving grad, what about the Mariposa recycled aluminum frame? It's glamorous and eco-friendly! Check out my slide show for other great photo frame gifts for grads!

Father's Day Gifts For New And Expectant Dads

image
In this past year or so, I've received more and more engagement and wedding announcements, which lead to birth announcements. Seeing my friends becoming expectant or first-time parents is nothing short of amazing. From choosing names to remodeling a room to become a nursery, I know they're all going to be great parents. With many of my guy friends becoming new dads or dads-to-be, I've been looking for great gifts for Father's Day. A good place to start is to with the basics. I found a strap on baby carrier that can work for dads and moms. Moms can keep their girly diaper bags, so I suggest giving a durable and roomy messenger bag that no one will suspect is carrying diapers and formula. For the television junkie, make sure he doesn't miss a single episode of his favorite shows with a Tivo digital video recorder. For more Father's Day gifts for new dads and dads-to-be, check out my slideshow!

So you're getting ready to plunk down that credit card for an extravagant present for your very deserving father, but then you realize you still have bills to pay and groceries to buy. So what are you supposed to do? You can let those bills pile up, but that's never good to pay important bills so late. The best bet is to buy something he'll love and you can afford! Afterall, he is your dad and was appreciative of the "artwork" you made when you were young, right? For the handy dad who always comes to anyone's rescue, take a look at the Classic SD Swiss Army Knife.

Useful Wedding Presents That Won't Get Returned The Next Day

image
This week, we've found 10 wedding gifts the happy couple will actually use because c'mon, how many towels or toasters do they really need? Okay, so you're at a wedding, staring at the gift table and playing that fun game where you try to guess what's in each dramatically-wrapped box. But as you're getting into the swing of things, impressing inexplicably single groomsmen with your skills and wit, you begin to notice a pattern: half of the boxes are the exact same size. Know why? They're all full of tumblers. Six to eight tumblers are great. 95? Not so much. Avoid being a giver of boring, repetitive gifts and give the newlyweds something they'll actually use. NOTE: If you're not close with the couple or aren't sure about what they already own, stick to the registry. There's a reason they asked for that meat tenderizer. Click over to The Frisky for more on relationships, celebs, and of course, style.

Father's Day Gifts For The Jet Set Traveler

image
Would you define your dad as a jet set traveler? Does he often fly cross country for business meetings or go off to exotic countries for research opportunities? Whatever the reason, you've probably seen the pages of stamps on his passport or well worn luggage in his closet. So why not give him something this Father's Day that makes his travels easier? You can't guarantee that his luggage won't be lost or that babies will stay quiet on his flights. But for some peace and quiet on his airplane rides, check out the Bose Quiet Comfort Noise Canceling headphones. They're super lightweight and neutralizes outside noise for the best listening experience. For the dad who's always in a suit and tie, give him a pair of cedar shoe trees to keep his fancy shoes from getting crushed in his luggage and to keep bugs and mildew away.

Father's Day Gifts For The Gourmet Foodie

image
Father's Day may be on June 21, but it's never too early to starting thinking about what to give him. Is he the kind of dad whose favorite room in the house is the kitchen? Does he like to try out new recipes or know exactly which wine to pair with each dish? Then forget the tie tacks or golf clubs, your foodie father would love something that would appeal to his gourmet taste. If he already has his dream grill and you can't pry him out of the deck on nice days, then consider getting him a monogram steak brand and carving board that will have him feeling even prouder about his grilling abilities. And if he likes to kick back and enjoy a nice cold beer, maybe he should consider making his own beer with a homebrew kit. Check out my slideshow for more gift ideas for dads who like to enjoy the finer things in life.
