Have dad tell time Tokyo Flash Japan style!
Simply put, these watches straight from Japan are nuts! Once you figure out how to tell time their way, pops will freak people out, trust me! Check it:
Tokyoflash Japan
has just released its first two wooden watch designs, Kisai Rogue SR2 Wood and Kisai
Stencil Wood.
Kisai Rogue SR2 Wood: Bright enough to get you noticed but subtle
enough to keep you looking cool. The Rogue SR2 LCD watch, made from a
combination of maple and sandal wood, presents the time through a circle of
connecting blocks. Features time, alarm and LED backlighting.
Kisai Stencil Wood: An update on the popular Stencil watch,
this limited edition design is made from natural wood with a genuine leather
wrist band. Visually artistic, the colored LCD display shows the time in
negative space, a technique that appears cryptic at first but is actually very
simple to read. Features time, date and alarm.
Now dad can be a brewmaster!
Midwest Supplies is one of the largest retail homebrew
and winemaking supply shops in the country, so hurry up and get a kit for pops.

Westside
Provisions District brings it, too!
I love the burgeoning Westside Provisions District (1100-1210
Howell Mill Road, Atlanta, GA 30318) and dads will too after seeing these cool
gifts to offer. Here's some info:
Celebrate Father’s Day the
Westside way and surprise Dad with the “really good stuff.” Instead of the
typical tie, add a few designer duds to his wardrobe from A-list retailers Sid
Mashburn, Billy Reid, or newcomers Jack Spade and Steven
Alan. If a Father’s Day feast is what Dad craves, treat him to
one of the District’s renowned restaurants, such as Abattoir or Bacchanalia.
For a special meal prepared at home, be sure to visit specialty foods haven Star
Provisions to stock up on gourmet items, cheeses, meats, seafood and
sweets. (1198 Howell Mill Road, Atlanta, GA 30318, www.starprovisions.com)
Also shop for their Ted Baker London
collection for the essentials of every man’s survival kit – a sharp stainless
steel hip flask and a set of playing cards housed in a sleek leather
case. Add in a thermos, leather camera case and ball and roller pen set,
and he’ll be the best accessorized (and most well-prepared) pop on the block.
Indulge his inner grill master with a sturdy waxed apron from Birdkage, Brooklyn, complete with a
care kit.

Happy Father's Day to all who deserve it! (Not the deadbeats. Ha!)
