How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Our Father’s Day Gift Guide from O.co & A $195 Giveaway

in Lifestyle on 05/27/16

In our house there is one proud, protective, loving, giving, attentive Father.  Someone who can be counted on to laugh at dumb jokes, a supporter of big dreams, and when needed a shoulder to cry on.  He’s the guy who will drive a carload of girls home from a Justin Bieber concert at 2AM, then turn around and get up at 5:30am to get out the door for work without missing a beat.  He is the fixer of flat tires, the defender of the late night curfew, still the guy who can fix anything with duct tape, and the BBQ Master.  In this house, they call him Dad. I am truly blessed to have a partner that is a best friend in this crazy parenting ride.

Next month Father’s Day rolls around again and I want to find some small way to thank my Dad for always being there, for being strong, for letting me know I was loved. I also want to thank my Husband for being the fiercely loving Daddy that he is. I don’t want to end up with that same old traditional neck tie or pair of socks, so what’s a girl to do?  This year, I’m turning to O.co.

Once you dive into O.co you will find there are countless gift options for the Father figure in your life (and maybe a little something for yourself while you’re there too!)  I found more than a few things I couldn’t resist.

The Travelon Anti-Theft Classic Light Sling Backpack. Screen Shot 2016-05-26 at 7.55.00 PM This stylish shoulder tote is perfect for when the man in your life is walking through the city or any busy area.  It features an adjustable cut-proof shoulder strap that can be locked to a post or chair and also features locking compartments, making it a great gift for the man on the go.  I’m thinking my Hubby will look fabulous carrying all my err… I mean his stuff around Italy with this one this Summer!  Actually, priced at only $65.82, maybe I should be ordering two

Next up; a set of Skullcandy Fix Buds.

Screen Shot 2016-05-24 at 9.07.07 PMAt $28.40 Hubby can leave these in his briefcase or gym bag as a spare set!

Is it wrong that this next choice may be a bit more about me, than him?  Shades!  Sunglasses to be exact.

Screen Shot 2016-05-26 at 7.56.37 PMThere is just something about a man in sunglasses. These classically styled aviator sunglasses feature a smart design shiny silver frame that perfectly fits the curve of his face.  Of course at only $16.62 you really can’t go wrong!

My final choice is the Joshua & Sons Men’s Swiss Quartz Date Silicone Strap Watch  With a large face and a retro kind of style, this watch is going to be a hit with the man in my life!  You can never go wrong with a funky watch!  ARV $83.99

Screen Shot 2016-05-24 at 9.18.27 PM
