Hot tunes!
Latin American tunes can definitely heat things up! Who can resist the Salsa! Or add a few cool tunes with a bit of jazz. Prefer the oldies and goldies? Then rock on! Whatever you choose to play, keep it upbeat and keep it hot.
Hot off the grill!
Keep summer entertaining easy and delicious with a barbeque! Set your outdoor table with colourful accessories in bold tropical colours and then dish up homemade burger patties with gourmet toppings like goat's cheese and roasted red peppers. For a fresh twist why not replace the hamburger patty with a giant Portobello mushroom drenched in olive oil and spices and then grilled to perfection. Yum!
Lookin' Hot!
It's summer – so show some skin! If your party is by the pool, treat yourself to a new bathing suit that makes you feel like a goddess and then slip a chic sheer cover-up over top. One shouldered tops and dresses are also hot this season. Pair them with a metallic sandal or gladiator and you've got a look that's hot and totally cool!
Ready, set, go!
Travelling with children this summer? Purchase a kid friendly suitcase with wheels just for your kids to pack and pull! Fill it with a few of their favourite toys, books and activities as well as a change of clothes. This will be their personal travel activity kit.
Be sure to pick up a portable DVD player. They are convenient for all modes of transport…including rentals! Load up with a few new flicks and you've taken care of a few hours of the trip!
Travel light & bright!
Huge purses in bold colours are hot this season, and they can fit all your gear for at least a couple of days! Keep travel sized toothpaste, soap and shampoo in a make-up case for emergencies, and find combination skin care with moisturizer and sunscreen to minimize the bulk.
Say pixel!
The most important thing you'll take on any trip is a camera. By now, almost everybody has gone digital. But if you want to take those family pics up a notch, consider investing in an upgrade. Or why not introduce your kids to their own digital camera.
Casual Fridays... and everyday!
Think summer at the cottage or the backyard. Your Dad will love cotton tees in new colours and shorts that will let him relax, and look good. And don't forget to throw in a pair of flip-flops! You know he won't get them for himself, but he'll thank you for them when he's slipping them on and off all summer.
Just add popcorn!
He might already have a DVD player, but trust us; he's waiting for an upgrade. Pick up a Blu-ray disc player and really surprise him! Already has one? Then Look for hot new summer DVD and Blu-ray releases like Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino, WWll flick, Defiance, and The International with Clive Owen.
Tied & True!
A tie may be the oldest Father's Day gift in the book, but that's for a good reason! He can always use a new tie. This year the shirts and ties are in mauve, pink, yellow and baby blue! If that seems a little too bold, then go for a more classic. Seasonal colour or print. Either way, he'll be fit to be tied!
