Dear ol' Dad

My dad was never at a loss of words when it came to giving advice. (usually unsolicited) He would quote anyone from Deepak Chopra to Warren Buffett. Unfortunately many of these pearls of wisdom went in one ear and out the other. I did however, retain some of his "Dadisms."
1) "Pull my finger" (really?!?)
2) "Don't tell your mother" (why not? she always finds out)
3) "I'm not a wallet" (physically no, but technically you pretty much paid for everything, thanks!)
4) "Go get me a beer, and don't tell your mother." (once again, she knows! she just knows!!)
5) "Did you hear that mouse in the sports car under my chair?" (what's with the fart jokes?)
6) "Why are you crying?!?" (oh, I don't know, it could be because I will need a skin graft on my knee after the fender bender on my Schwinn bicycle.)
7) "You run like a girl!" (last time I checked, I am one)
8) "Watch me pull a quarter out of your ear" (make that a $100 dollar bill and you've got my attention)
9) After I accepted my first "real" job, "what's your 401k match?" (I have no idea what you're talking about.)
10) "What the hell are you doing?!" (this is how most of our conversations started)
I've always struggled with trying to get the perfect father's day gift for the man who is a "jack of all trades" until I stumbled upon Martinpatrick3. This is the one of the hippest and coolest men's store I've been to in a while.
What: martinpatrick3 - a men's boutique that has urban, modern and timeless classics for men of all ages
Where: 121 North 1st Street, Minneapolis
What to expect: Finding the perfect gift for your any Father you know. I'm coveting the PRADA coffee table book. (focus!) I also love the belt buckles made out of old beer tins, classic!
Gigi's Tip: martinpatrick3 carries Peirrepont Hicks ties which are two tone neckties. They've been coined "rugged luxury," trust me, he'll like it better than another bottle of Old Spice.











What is our life? Game!
