Just a reminder that Father's Day is tomorrow, June 16th. How are you giving back?
Last year, I found my dad eyeing this Yoshimoto Cube at the MoMA's gift shop. To treat his inner quirkiness, I found a (fairly quick) video tutorial to help me make it, and saved him (and myself) $65. Plus, the paint added a personalized touch! Here's how it turned out:
I'm still toying with some ideas for tomorrow, and meanwhile made reservations to this amazing Mediterranean restaurant I recently tried called Ilili (found near Madison Square Park on 5th Ave). If you do ever go, be sure to try their Semolina Gnocchi, Brussel Sprouts, and Cucumber Lemonade. Definitely surprised my taste buds there!
Some other ideas to treat your old man!
If you have time and no money:
A Hovercraft
Artsy Maps
Patterned Necktie Pillows
Music-Themed Coasters
Vintage Magazine Art
If you have money and no time:
For Dads Who Love to Relax
Cheese & Wine Tasting
A Day Out Sailing
Beer-Making Classes
Make him Fly
Gelato-Making Classes
Race with Him
A Morning in a Hot Air Balloon
If you have no money and no time but still love your dad very much:
Hand-wash his car
Fix something in the house
Watch his favorite movie together
Watch/play his favorite sport
Spend the day at a park
