Memorable Gifts for Dad at Tiffany & Co.

15 Jun

I have a confession… I’ve never looked for anything for men at Tiffany & Co. (Level 2).  My attention has always been swayed by the necklaces, bracelets and earrings that I would pick for me!

So, with Father’s Day fast approaching, I thought I would check out what you can put inside a Little Blue Box (or Big in some cases) for men. Your dad or hubby will never know you waited until almost the last minute if you present him with a statement piece from Tiffany & Co.

I was blown away by all of the treasures there for men.  Here’s a slideshow of a few favorites, including cuff links that will last a lifetime and can be passed on to generations to come,  luxe leather wallets, and much more! For the card shark, there is even a Tiffany set of playing cards that can be paired with a sterling silver “Dealer”  button.

GURU Style Star: Oshaye Wilkins

14 Jun

With Father’s Day coming up, I’ve been on the look out for a Dad to profile for this week’s GURU Style Star feature!

When I first saw Oshaye Wilkins, his sharp style and the confidence that he exudes caught my attention. Then I learned that he is a father of three and that his kids have even INFLUENCED HIS STYLE!   I’ll reveal how in a moment.

Oshaye has a 3-year-old little boy and two girls, ages 5 and 6. When I met up with him, he was on break from Shaw’s Jewelers, where he is the store manager.

Oshaye is sporting a Ralph Lauren suit from Macy’s. His tie is from Macy’s as well.

Describe your style… 
My style is clean cut, basic, universal, things that can be dressed up or dressed down.  I like solid, bright colors.
If you weren’t in a suit today, what would you likely be wearing?  
I would probably have on a polo, mostly summer colors — greens and yellows. Maybe plaid or linen shorts.
Have your kids influenced your style?   How?
Very much so! They’ve influenced my style. I have to try to stay cool. It’s keeping up with the times. They make sure that I stay cool.
What is your favorite store in the mall for clothes and why?
My favorite is Macy’s. They have great sales. They have variety. It’s easy to find what you want. It’s not crazy expensive.
 
Happy Father’s Day to Oshaye and all the Dads out there!

Father’s Day Gifts at Brookstone!

11 Jun

Whether he’s a kid at heart or a grill king, Brookstone (Level 3) is your source for high-tech treasures for Dad!

With the Grill Alert Talking Remote Meat Thermometer ($69.99), Dad will have an assistant grill master and won’t need to babysit the grill at every moment.  He can venture up to 300 feet away and still be in touch with how the meat or fish is coming along.

Talking Remote Meat Thermometer

Here’s how the wireless thermometer works. You put the stainless steel probe into your meat or fish.  Then, use the remote to select what  you’re grilling and if you want it cooked rare, medium rare, medium or well done.  The talking remote will tell you when your meal is almost done and when it’s ready.  The remote comes with a belt clip.  Click here for a video demonstration from Brookstone.

I felt like Brookstone was reading my mind when I saw the Pocket Projector for the iPhone 4 ($229.99).  My neighbors and I have been talking about doing outdoor movie nights, and this gizmo could be just the right solution. It would be a great gift for me — I mean my husband…

The projector creates up to a 50-inch screen on any surface — indoor or out and even provides instant backseat entertainment in the car.  All you do is dock your iPhone4 in it, and you’re all set. There is a built in speaker system.  You can watch movies, family videos, picture slideshows and anything you can access from your phone.  The projector will even charge the phone while it entertains.

Check out the portable Outdoor Wireless Speaker and Dock ($129.99 on sale). As Brookstone puts it, you can “dock and rock.”  This weather resistant speaker can play music from up to 150 feet away from your phone, MP3 player or home stereo.  It can also be used inside. At night, it gives off a blue glow.

It’s even weather resistant

Who says toys are just for kids? Dad may have to share this one.

The hobby grade  Cloud DSS Long-Range Copter ($149.99) can fly the length of two football fields!  At night, Dad can impress the kids with a light show. The plane has a searchlight and multi-color body lights.

Take Flight

One serious “toy!”

Say Cheers to everything Dad does for the family with a pair of Australian beer glasses ($39.99 or 4 for $70).  The double-walled glasses keep  beer cooler for a longer amount of time, prevent condensation and hold up to 16 oz!  You can even keep them in the freezer so they’re ready to go. They’re also dishwasher friendly.

Cheers!

So, if you could choose any one of these gifts for a well-deserved dad in your life, which one would you pick?
