Sunday is Father’s Day, a day to celebrate everything great about being a dad, having a dad, or celebrating the significant father-figure in one’s life. Father’s are an important role model in our lives. They can impart to us those traits that are thought of as typically “male,” such as courage, risk-taking, and mentoring. But trying to figure out what to get them is another matter altogether.

It’s amazing that as special as dads are, they are a bit of a challenge when trying to come up with something out of the ordinary to give them on Father’s Day. Let’s face it, most dads don’t shop or pamper themselves, so that rules out spa days or perfume. With that in mind, On Madison has assembled an assortment of not-so-typical dad’s day gifts that will tell your dad you think he’s the greatest.

 

 

 

For the sporty dad, we suggest a few gadgets and accessories he might enjoy to help him track his fitness, progress, and adventures. And of course an impeccable Sol y Luna leather handbag for a classic vintage look & feel out on the green.
