2010 FREEISMYLIFE Father's Day Gift Guide

Bad Gifts No More!

Growing up, Mother's Day was always a big deal in my house. My mom would get all kinds of cards of love, flowers and jewelry. We all knew better than to not give that woman her due after how hard she worked at home. Then, a month later would come Father's Day. To tell you the truth, I don't know how my father kept that happy look on his face when he received a new bottle of Old Spice cologne from the drugstore every year. Poor man.

Don't let this happen to your dad or special father figure this year. Use this FREEISMYLIFE Father's Day Gift Guide to make sure that dad has a true happy smile on his face from the wonderful, yet cost effective, gifts that you will buy him with items ranging from FREE to $50.

Take a peak and see what you can find....

#1. Give DAD a FREE Shout Out for Father's Day!!! - courtesy of FREEISMYLIFE

What's better than letting dad see your heart felt thanks displayed for everyone to see.

Just like on Mother's Day, FREEISMYLIFE is offering an opportunity for readers to send a Father's Day shout-out to their dads on the FREEISMYLIFE website.

Send your tribute to freeismylife@comcast.net with the title "Father's Day Tribute". Please include your Name, Age, City, State and an optional photo of your dad or you and your dad.

The tributes will appear in special posts starting in June and leading up to Father's Day.

#2. Kenneth Cole "Unlisted" Watches available at Macy's Stores $29.95

Back from the Valentine's Day Gift Guide are the Kenneth Cole line of watches called "Unlisted" that retail for $29.95 at Macy's stores. They all look much more expensive than they are, so your Dad will never know the bargain that you got on this one. The watches come in many styles and colors - some traditional, some retro, and some modern with colorful dials and rubber wristbands.

The attached photo of one on the Unlisted watches that I bought to give as a Father's Day gift - it is very retro cool.

#3 Douglas J. Aveda Institute "Stress Relieving Treatment" FREE!

Back in January, I did a review of the Stress Relieving Treatment at the Douglas J. Aveda Institute in Royal Oak. The treatment was fabulous and the regular price is only $34 for 60 minutes. Just like Mom, Dad is probably stressed out and would appreciate a little stress relief. You can give Dad this treatment for FREE by using this coupon good until 7/13/2010, making Dad an appointment by calling 877-334-8657 and driving Dad to the nearest Douglas J Aveda location (Royal Oak, Ann Arbor, East Lansing, and Grand Rapids).
