father’s day gift ideas – part two

Whew… What a trip! I’m back, safe and sound on Canadian soil, and back to reality…

And part of that reality is that Father’s Day is now only eight shopping days away. Gah.

A few weeks back (before that little sidetrip to Sweden and Denmark) I’d taken a look at what PC Home had to offer in terms of Father’s Day giftware, and it got me channeling my inner lumberjack (inasmuch as shopping for masculine, wood-grain-motif gifts is something a lumberjack does). 

A little more refined, but just as “woodsy” as that barbeque cover, is this little gem.

As you can see, the protective cover pivots away to reveal the mechanism inside, making it both handsome and practical (the two qualifiers for a great father’s day gift)! And it’s well-priced, to boot.
