I Scored The Perfect Father's Day Gift!

Signature Authentics for the Sport Loving Dads

Have you found the perfect Father’s Day gift for the dad in your life?

Ties are tired…

BBQ accessories are so yesterday…

Garden rake, shovel, power sprayer? They scream (in a shrill fishwife voice), “Get to work ya big lug!” After opening the Weed Whacker we gave him last year, my dear hubby said, “Clearly you want me to do some work around the garden??”  He was right, of course, but The Weed Whacker was on sale and we needed one, so naturally I blamed the kids and told him THEY picked it out.

This year I'm going to score major “wife of the year” brownie points by presenting the best dad in the world with a gift that will show him how special his kids (and I) know he is. Plus, there is no yard work required. See what I mean about the brownie points?

I first became of aware of Signature Authentics when they generously donated one of their sports memorabilia photos for our “Weekend To End Women’s Cancers” silent auction last year. I approached them again a few weeks ago and asked if they would donate another photo for our “Elmo Family FUNdraiser”. They did. And it was a much sought after prize. I decided right then that THIS was the gift I would bestow upon my “DaddyCaddy” husband this year. He eats, sleeps and breathes golf, so this Father’s Day we are going to surprise him with a “Masters Champs” golf photo of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer embracing after a round at the Masters ($80)..  Wife...of....the...year. Takes a bow.

Do you have a sports enthusiastic on your Father’s Day shopping list? Check out the Signature Authentics’ website and have a look at their beautiful framed photos. The site can be tricky to navigate so if you can't find what you're looking for, give them a call (they're really nice) or pop into their Mississauga store.

The hockey fan on your list would love ‘Golden Goal.’ The famous photo of Crosby’s overtime gold medal winning goal. (Available in 14x18 or 22x26 framed sizes for $80 and $200).

For the baseball fan? A Jose Bautista Blue Jays photo. He’s currently the best player in baseball and Jays record breaking slugger. (11x14 photo and 8x10 action in 26x22 frame is $200 or autographed 16x20 photo in 22x26 frame is $400).

They are offering free shipping within the GTA for orders over $100. Mention the blog and receive 20% off your order. Orders for delivery within the GTA received by June 13 will be delivered by June 17th GUARANTEED or you will receive a full refund.

Happy Father’s Day everybody!
