My favourite Father's Day items on Etsy

It's that time again.....that time when I show you some of my favourite items on Etsy.  This time of course celebrating those wonderful men in our lives.....our Fathers!

I'm very fond of this collection.....I think there are some fantastic ideas.  So without further ado.....and as always in no particular order.....here are some great ideas for Father's Day gifts! 


Check out this brilliant idea from The Blue Basket Shop. A t-shirt with a road map on the back....the kids get to play and Dad gets a massage!!!  Win, win!  Warning....not recommended for the ticklish Dad.

This is a perfect place for a drink and a snack, an Eco friendly snack mat from Twisted Sticks.  Great for those fathers working in the wood shop.

Looking for a special gift that will last a lifetime?  This is such a great idea...a personalized hammer from Rustic Craft Design.

If I didn't have to ship it to England this would be my Father's Day gift to my Dad (the thought is there Dad  :o).  A perfect gift from Look What Turned Up for the man in your life that loves to drink and drive .....of course not at the same time  :o)

Now this idea from Raspberry Button just makes me smile.  The owner embroiders your child's artwork onto this case for a kindle, i-pad, whatever kind of e-reader you have.  LOVE IT!  I mean what Dad wouldn't want something like this?

I love the simplicity of this design from Paper Polaroid.  Use it every Father's Day to make him fee special or let him hang in in the office, tool shed, garage.

So many great ideas on Etsy and this is definitely one of them from Fritts Creative....you have to have a good eye to be able to spot all these hidden letters in life....it's so much fun to figure out what they actually are.  They have a few different options to choose from too.

And for the dapper Dad check out these gorgeous gingham ties from Me and Matilda.  And the best thing about these ties???  They come in all sizes....they have toddler sizes to adult so Dad and son can match!  I just love that idea!  Would be great for weddings too.

I can only imagine how divine this shaving soap from Smith Family Soap Works must smell.  Made with essential oils and olive oil too.

O.K. Father or no father....I want this wine and glass holder from JNM Rustic Designs in my house!!!  I love the beautiful, natural colour and just look at how many bottles and glasses it holds.  Up cycling at it's finest, this is constructed from an old wood pallet.

 And while we are on the subject of wine bottles, how about this idea from Great Bottles of Fire (love the name).  These are perfect for lighting up the night and and keeping those dreadful mosquitoes at bay if you fill it with citronella oil.

The shirt speaks for itself doesn't it?  Great idea from Priceless Kids

I have a few cards in the Textile Trolley shop for fathers day so far, I'll be working on a couple more in the next day or so.  I use fabric on my cards to add a little texture and to be a little different.  Here the whales and the water splashes are cut from fabric and on the bee card I used skinny strips of yellow and black fabric for the bumble bee's stripes, the award card is hand stitched to hold everything in place.

THANK YOU SO MUCH to all the Etsians that gave permission for me to use their beautiful pictures and links.  I hope you can find something special on Etsy for Father's Day.  It's a wonderful thing to support these small business who are trying so hard to make their shops successful.
