Father's day is quickly approaching! Sunday June 19th is the day we are celebrating dad and all the things our Fathers do for us. While most holidays and gift giving are really geared towards Mothers, this is one of very few days each year that dads should be getting just what they want. If your father is anything like mine, when asked what he wants his standard reply is "I don't need anything". Who mentioned NEED? You see, most dads have gotten used to appreciating things they need, and not focusing on the material things they want. This is a distinction that female shoppers learn early on during their first experiences with designer brands. Of course luxury brands realize they are selling Wants, not Needs - and spend millions (or billions) on advertising to help blur the lines between the two concepts. Most ads that ,again if your dad is anything like mine, pass him right by.
Dad's like to grill. If for no other reason, it gives them a noble excuse to spend some time by themselves - while still providing for his family by creating great steaks or burgers in his own backyard. Also, the sense of pride that a guy achieves is grilling a perfectly cooked steak is unrivaled on the machismo scale. So take a look at this Char-Broil Grill from the folks at J&R Electronics. This sleek black grill has all the gadgets and uses infrared technology to to get things sizzling. If Stainless Steel fits into Mom's decor more than black, check out this Weber all natural gas grill from Buy.com. If this grill can't cook what dad is preparing - call Fred Flintstone!
