MAN WEEK - Father's Day Giveaway!
Father's Day Giveaway prize pool!
At last count The Design Files readership demographic was around 93% female. So I'm not quite sure why or how the idea of 'man week' popped into my mind. Nevertheless, all the stylish / design savvy blokes I mentioned it to seemed to think it was an awesome idea... so here we are launching MAN WEEK - a whole week of posts dedicated to the fellas out there! I figure even the ladies would welcome some ideas about gifts and shopping spots for the important men in our lives (be they brothers, fathers, boyfriends, friends or work colleagues).
With Father's Day just under a week away it seemed opportune timing to kick things off with a very special FATHER'S DAY GIVEAWAY! Eleven fabulous manly prizes have been offered by a group of generous local designers and retailers - and in keeping with tradition we'll draw eleven winners for this bumper giveaway!
