The Five Best Father's Day Gifts Ever, A Round-Up!

Nest by Tamara's 
Father's Day Gift Round-Up
This Father's Day 
let's give Dad a special gift, 
one that will make him the most dapper guy ever, 
as well as the most stylish host.  These gifts will allow Dad to host summer parties with panache or just look stylish when out and about.  Trust me, Dad will be the life of the party with these gifts, or at the very least the best dressed guy around...


1. Wayfair's Real Flame Mezzo Table
Dad will be the Talk of The Town with this tabletop concrete real flame outdoor fire pit.  It has a propane tank and is easy to light. Comes in either white or grey color cement material in square or round shape.  It can sit tabletop on a large coffee table or next to the pool or even on the patio for hosting the best summer parties!
with a roaring 8,500 btu (trust me he will know what this is)
this grill-on-the-go, and offered in six punchy colors, is the perfect Father's Day gift.  For the Dad who likes to grill at the beach or tail gate parties, this grill is a must!  It is stainless steel with an electronic ignition and a total cooking area of 189 square inches.  It also has a heavy cast aluminum lid and body, with two folding work tables options and built-in lid thermometer. 
3.  the Hermes Rose Equestrian tie.  Yes, I know it is cliche to buy Dad a tie on Father's Day, but for all those equestrian lovers, possibly those dads who drive their kids to horse shows, this stylish tie from Hermes is quite special.  In the rose color is will certainly make any man a dapper Dad.
4. Ocean Kelp Shaving Kit
Head on over to Art of Shaving to pick up 
this shaving kit with four elements to give Dad the perfect shave experience.  Pre-shave gel, shaving cream, a shaving brush, and after-shave balm.  It allows for a close shave and gives a soft, smooth face.

This classy shaker has a special measuring tool to allow for a delicious shaken not stirred martini.  We love the retro aesthetic which harkens Mad Men.
On a personal note
 I want to wish a Happy Father's Day to my Husband Randal,
 the most wonderful, dedicated dad I know!

Happy Nesting
Happy Father's Day
XO Tamara
