Today Miki brings you some fabulous Father’s Day ideas from Global Style. The only limitation is your imagination, so let it run wild!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Want to give a gift that’s really unique this Father’s Day? Head on over to Global Style – www.globalstyle.com.au.

Global Style have made it easy with a great range of Fathers Day-specific designs – just have a look at the graphic below to get an idea of what is possible.

If you order by 3pm AEST on the 2nd of September your item will arrive in time for the big day too!

You can’t get easier than that. The hard part is choosing which of the garments (all top quality) and which groovy designs are right for the Dads in your life.

Global Style are making it even better for KidStyleFile readers with 10% off storewide! This offer is only around for a very limited time – it finishes at 3pm AEST on the 2nd of September – so make sure you get in quickly! Enter code: DADDY and expiry: 09/2008 (please make sure it’s in precisely that format for it to work).

Global Style have T-shirts, singlets, hats, bags, aprons, hoodies and more, all fully personalised. You can get absolutely *anything* you want printed on these items of apparel – if you already have a piece of clothing or a fabric accessory (hat, bag etc) which you want to personalise, take advantage of Global Style’s new option of simply ordering the personalised design of your choice as an iron-on patch – but to get you started Global Style offers a huge range of personalisable logos and designs.

Global Style customised products make ideal gifts for any occasion you might have coming up. Know of a new baby who has just arrived?

What about a Global Style onesie or infant tee with the baby’s name and DOB on it? Much of the infants wear at Global Style is American Apparel Babyrib which I am a huge fan of and endorse whole-heartedly: it is second to none for softness and quality.

Kid’s birthday coming up or starting to rack your brains over what to get the kids for Christmas?

Who could resist a tee with ‘Super <Your Child’s Name>’ on it? Or ‘New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, [insert your suburb here]‘? Kids love personalised items; it gives them a real buzz to own or wear something with their name emblazoned across it.

As promised, here are some brilliant Fathers Day ideas to get you started:

No links here for these, as they’re all totally personalisable and come on so many different garments and accessories! It’s easy to make your own, just follow the instructions at the Global Style Online Shop.

Global Style uses Express Post satchels within Australia. Delivery of one or two items is about $7.00. International orders are warmly welcomed; please see here for further information.

Today Miki brings you a great selection of inspired Father’s Day gift ideas. The big day is just over 2 weeks away, so make haste, and scoop up these goodies (and get some great bargains too!)

Fathers Day is just around the corner, and I still haven’t organised anything! Eeek!!

Luckily for me and for anyone else in my shoes, it’s been made easy this year. Have a look below to see what these great stores are offering!

First up, we have Global Style – www.globalstyle.com.au, tha bomb for personalised tees, jumpers, singlets, hoodies, hats and bags. With a huge range of the ‘base’ garments and a MASSIVE range of personalisable designs to go on them, each product from Global Style is truly unique.

There’s a great range of Fathers Day designs at the moment, so you can go nuts creating something special for a special Dad who deserves it. My favourite is ‘daddycool’ (pictured below) but that’s just one of many. I couldn’t do justice do all of the available designs in the graphics below, so go and browse around at Global Style to see them all!

Another reason why Global Style gear makes such a great gift is the free matching personalised gift card which can be completed as you go through the checkout process.

Abbey at Global Style is offering KidStyleFile readers 10% off storewide. Enter code: DADDY and expiry: 09/2008 (make sure the date is in exactly that format) when prompted at checkout. This offer expires at 3pm AEST on the 2nd of September and orders received by then will arrive in time for Fathers Day.

No links here as everything at Global Style is personalised and completely unique – but you can very easily re-create one of these just by following the process in the Global Style online store.

Metro Mum – www.metromum.com.au – have a brilliant selection of stuff for dads. The DadGear bags and vests are quite fantastic. I know for a fact that my husband would love these, as he often grumbles about having to carry my gorgeously feminine nappy bags around with him when he takes our son out. And the vest is even better, as it negates the need to carry a bag at all! Pack everything you need into the cleverly-situated pockets and that’s one dad who’s ready to roll.

The ‘For Dad’ section at Metro Mum is full of great gift ideas for daddies, even after the DadGear vests and bags. There’s a gorgeously fluffy – yet masculine – bathrobe and slipper set, Annabel Trends aprons, bath goodies, books, photo frames and more.

La Toriana – www.latoriana.com.au – has long been known for its attention to the finer things for kids and parents, and their selection for dads is no exception.

The Vanchi nappy bags for dads are great; stylish, minimalist black which doesn’t show the dirt from all those trips to the park and looks great hanging over Dad’s shoulder.

There’s also a great, giftable range of little things to make Dad’s wardrobe and life just that bit more luxurious. Lovely soap, a therapeutic heat pack, perfumed shoe inserts (brilliant for smelly shoes!), and ‘Socks & Jocks’ perfumed sachets to go in his underwear drawer, but they’re also great for a suitcase if he travels. This range all has gorgeous black and white packaging, very classy.

With a fantastic Fathers Day offering on at the moment, there are three fabulous gift ideas at Quinn Mac.

The first is a unique personalised magazine cover, mounted on canvas with your very own photo and headlines. Fantastic for putting above Dad’s desk at work! There are six templates to choose from, and Monique at Q-Mac makes it easy peasy to create just the right layout for your Dad.

The next is Father & Son matching t-shirt sets. These are great, with some heartwarming and some hilarious combinations. ‘Like Father…’ ‘…Like Son’ is pictured below, and there are loads of others to choose from.

The third gift idea is a Fathers Day t-shirt for your son. Make him into a walking greeting card (only cuter), and really give Dad something to smile about on the day. Who could resist their little boy in a t-shirt saying ‘Dad Rocks’?

These three gift ideas are already discounted at Quinn Macool, and KidStyleFile readers get an additional 10% off until the 1st of September! Enter dadrocks in the Redeem Code box at checkout.
