OMG how good is my photoshopping?! NOT very! (I know there are lots of graphic designers reading so please forgive the jaggedy edges! :)
But, what I lack in Photoshop skills I hope I can make up for with great gift ideas!? Most of these items are available online or over the phone and can be shipped anywhere in Australia (and some internationally).
I can’t take the credit for all these myself though… My lovely occasional helper / research assistant Miriam McGarry helped find many of the fab Father Day gift ideas here! The Australian boutique beer pack I think is particularly genius, and I most certainly wouldn’t have come up with that one on my own! Nice one Miriam!
(Father’s Day in Australia is 2 weeks away – next Sunday September 5th. I am not sure if it is the same all over the world…?! But anyway.)







So nice to see a collection of items that supposes men have taste, class, like quality and actually have interests rather than just assuming they like sport. Bravo Miriam and Lucy.
Ppppfffft! No photoshopping skills?! I wouldn’t haven’t noticed! Great little gift guide!
i can highly recommend the clock: it gets comments ALL the time when friends see ours. :)
In Holland Father’s day is the 3th sunday of June.
