My dad is a hard guy to shop for. Generally, he’s happy with just a phone call for Father’s Day, but that is just not enough, really. I can’t seem to decide whether he’s a gadget type or a gardener type.
Juliet Shops is a site where the work is done for you. Like Violet, it groups gifts based on his interests. Not sure still? You can take a quiz to find appropriate gifts.

Lifestraw is a great idea. He can provide about 15,000 liters of drinking water per family. We take water for granted sometimes. It’s not always clean everywhere and it’s not always free.
They wrote more about it over at Inhabitat. It seems like such a simple, great solution to a huge problem.
Find out more about the Lifestraw project.
Do you want to help? You can donate $15 to the Ft Lauderdale Rotary Club and you can help a family in Tanzania, Malawi and Ghana. They’re working to give 10,000 Lifestraws to the area.

The Merry Martini is this adorable little boutique that Kelly just opened. It’s ideal for gifts, since gift wrapping is free, and there’s different options.

No ring on your finger? Get one with your coffee. Really.
The best part is that this pretty cup comes in a jewelry box with just the ring exposed.
$15.

Oh, my aching neck. Between the day job and spending all my extra time contorting my body in yoga or damaging it further blogging, my neck is tired.
I met Amy from The Peach at an event a long time ago and automatically loved her cute little wristlets and upcycled clothing. It’s so nice to have an etsyian near me!
I spotted this cute little neckwarmer while checking out her store and it’s so much better than my ugly fuzzy blue one. Everyone loves Matryoshkas.
18″ x 5″ and filled with rice. Essential oil is available. $15

I love giving gifts, although most of the time I forget to get the actual gift on time. So companies like GiftTree are probably a good idea. Jennifer wanted me to try the service out, so I’ll be honest here and say that I received this item for free.
This is what my box looked like when I got it.
It’s the Honey Spa Treatment and has lots of goodies. The box came almost right away and was all packaged up.
It’s got a lot of spa-related items with honey in it, like a beeswax candle, honey soap, bath beads and a number of massage and scrubbie things.
I think that if i got this as a gift I’d be pretty happy. The only thing I wanted was maybe a little explanation card with what everything was (not that it wasn’t obvious).
It did come with a card from the sender, however, which I thought was nice. It was right on top of the box and wouldn’t be lost at all.
So far I’ve used just about everything in the box. The massage bar is pretty nice, and the soap smells lovely. My dad is obsessed with royal jelly, which is part of the soap. The hand towel is made of bamboo, one of my favorite fabrics. It is amazingly soft and stays that way.
All the items fit the theme well and work together. The honey theme is carried out with the products and the spa items all match each other.
I really like the idea and the combination of items makes it worth the price.
If you’re looking for a good gift to get a client of a loved one, I’d head over to GiftTree and see what they have. There’s a lot of different sets for a number of different uses.

When I was little, I had a Viewmaster. I had some slides of Disney movies like the Black Cauldron and a bunch of other stuff. I loved them. I thought they had stopped even making them, but then I headed over to Bona Drag, who has some upscale viewmaster slides for you to peruse.
($22-24 for slides, $7.50 for viewermaster)

Another eco-friendly yoga mat alternative. I’m not sure what makes them eco-friendly (I’m hoping sustainable rubber or materials plus more). The cool thing is you can pick your color and add text to it for yourself, and your pets! ($41)

Still need to get your man a gift? Rush over to Sephora and grab this scent sampler. Best idea ever.
This is what happens. There are 8 samples and a gift certificate in the pack. You get the pack for your guy, and he tries each and every one and then picks one he wants. He tackes the certificate to Sephora and gets a full size bottle for later. ($50)
