Father's Day Gift Guide

Sunday, June 21st--this year's official date for celebrating all things Dad. But, what do you buy the man who genuinely wishes that you won't spend a dime on him (is it just my Dad who loves hearing his gift was bought at 50% off...)? I might be biased, but I think my Dad is the best. It takes a certain kind of patience and kind heart to parent three girls so effortlessly. So, ignoring his requests for nothing, I have gathered some unique (and economical) items I think the Dads out there will appreciate. From disgusting black liquorice that only Dad's seem to like (thanks to Julia for this great idea), to cards and of course beer, there is something here for each kooky Dad out there!

  1. Easel Stand for iPad, $27.49 - Restoration Hardware 
  2. Album Frame, $15 - Urban Outfitters
  3. Helles Style Lager, $5.50 - Old Flame Brewery 
  4. Liquorice (prices vary) - Candy Bar
  5. Rifle Paper Co. card, $5.95 - Penney & Co. 
  6. Jamie's Comfort Food cookbook, $23.82 - Indigo 

Travel Diaries

This month's Travel Diaries is featuring Nantucket Island. I promise you, a quick search on Pinterest and you will be packing your bags to this picture-perfect beach town. In the American State of Massachusetts, not far from Cape Cod, to me, Nantucket is the ideal vacation spot. Stunning coastal-style homes, wide sandy beaches, restaurants full of fresh and local ingredients, picturesque lighthouses, even a small night life (see The Chicken Box). Nantucket looks like the kind of Summer vacation you only see in the movies. 

When I go, here's what I would do (for a comprehensive guide, click here):

  1. Watch the sunset at Madaket Beach 
  2. Enjoy a post-beach bevie at Cisco Brewery 
  3. Rent a bike and tour the island
  4. Rest my head in the gorgeous Gate House in The Roberts Collection 
  5. Eat the Westender Tacos at Millie's
  6. Walk and Shop on Main Street 
  7. Tour the mansions along Sconset Bluff Walk 
  8. Enjoy the day on the North Shore Beaches, taking in views of the Brant Point Light House
  9. Brunch at the White Elephant 

Get inspired by my Pinterest photos below, and let me know if you will be adding Nantucket Island to your vacation diary!
