[My cool Dad, Mark Stenehjem, early 1970s.]

Don’t forget Father’s Day, Sunday June 17th! It is time to celebrate Dad and all that he has given to you over the years. I have searched far and wide for fun and unique gifts that are sure to make Dad feel like a superhero on his special day!

The Vers headphones are individually hand-crafted with sustainably sourced hardwoods & Bamboo, and produce that familiar, natural sound quality for which Vers has become known. These headphones include a low-profile integrated microphone with mute and play/pause controls which makes it for an iPhone, iPod, or any device with a headphone jack.

 

 

(4) Any Dad who relishes the pleasure of a drink by the fire or with a great meal will surely enjoy this unique gift. These Whisky Stones ($65) are used to keep drinks at a perfect temperature. They come with a set of 2 mouth-blown Avva Tumblers (dishwasher safe).

 

 

(5) These brilliant Steampunk Cufflinks ($50) are made from 2 Vintage Seiko “Solar” style silver watch movements. These fashionable accessories by artists at Time in Fantasy would complement any style.
