Father’s Day is right around the corner, June 21st to be exact for those who didn’t know. This year make your dad, uncle, brother, husband or any dad you know feel special by getting him something that he can actually use. Forget about the tie this year and take a look at our Fathers Day Gift Guide 2015 for some help. We are sure he will appreciate the thought put into his gift this year.
We start out with this home improvement resource for do-it-yourselfers: 100 Things Every Homeowner Must Know. This must-have handbook is packed with projects, repairs and tips to help a Dad of any experience level tackle home improvements and save big money this summer!
· Cut Cooling Costs: Hotter temperatures in the summer can also lead to high-cost energy bills. Dad will be happy to impress the family with new ways to keep cooling-costs down.
· How to Get Rid of Ants: Dad hates those pesky ants just as much as the rest of the family. Help him put an end to the problem with inexpensive products from the home center or hardware store. He’ll thank you when he saves the expense of hiring an exterminator.
· Keep a Happy, Healthy Lawn: With the warmer months comes the time for lawn care, and everyone could use a refresher on the best ways to keep turf lush and healthy – even Dad. A few simple tips will make mowing and watering easier. Pick up the handbook at familyhandyman.com.
All the handy work above can have your dad smelling funky so make sure you add this to the list of gifts this year, the Vince Camuto Solare Eau de Parfum. It conveys a robust yet fresh scent profile incorporating notes of Juicy Mandarin, Pimento Leaves and Cardamom anchored by a dry base of Sensual Musk and Cashmere Woods. Solare ignites the senses with a sophisticated blend of smoldering wood and citrus scents. Vince Camuto Solare is available online and in-store at Macy’s – 3.4 oz. / 100 ml – SRP $70.

Wolverine® Ronaldo Leather Slip-Ons – $160
These shoes are just plain comfortable and look great for this spring summer look. I have a pair of my own, which I love wearing. They are sneaker-like slip-on-styling realized in genuine full-grain leather. It’s a fusion that makes these casual kicks just the thing with jeans and a camp shirt for a midsummer evening get-together. Wolverine leather slip-on shoes feature a dual-gore vamp, which makes them easy to slip into. They include fabric-lined interior and footbed, all-rubber outsole and come in black and tan.
Lightweight MA-1 Jacket – $ 289
Launched by the US government in 1938, the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP) aimed to prepare civilian fliers while increasing military readiness. This colorful version of the MA-1 flight jacket, issued to civilian pilots, is constructed from rugged 8-oz. double-washed canvas. It is equipped with a cut brass zipper, snap-front pockets, and an upper-sleeve utility pocket with space for a navigation tool and writing utensils. Chest snaps were originally used to keep cockpit cords organized. The lightweight MA-1 Jacket features a knit collar, cuffs, and waistband and it is pure cotton plus washable.
