| Father's Day Gift? Let Dad Build It Himself! |
|
provider writes, "Some people live to shop. Others would rather spend a day in a dentist chair than a department store. But there is something they all have in common. It's that gnawing voice inside that says, "What if he doesn't like what I pick out?" That problem has just been solved. Now even people who shrivel at the idea of shopping can buy the perfect Father's Day gift with ease."

Start with what he really needs. Dad could use a bit of flair. Not that his style is starting to gray, but if you're watching a black-and-white movie and you spot something from his wardrobe, it's probably time for a fashion intervention.
Along with fashion, think function. A Father's Day gift should be something he can really use, and not just on the odd weekend. It should also make his life better. Time is a creeping thief when it comes to dad's abilities. Some days, his mortal coil doesn't exactly fire on all cylinders, so your gift should empower him by making the most of what he's got.
Finally, show him you care. The gift should tell him you're thinking about his well-being. You don't have to install safety airbags on his recliner but you should get him something that improves his protection from the dangers of daily life.
What gift could possibly make dad's style sizzle, make his life easier, show him you care, and be something he absolutely loves? The answer is simple.
For Father's Day, let dad build his own sunglasses. The Oakley Custom Shop now lets customers pick and choose frame colors, lens colors and coatings, component colors -- even lens shapes for certain frames. Dad can mix and match to create anything that fits his fancy. No matter what he comes up with, it's sure to be in style because the "art" part is already taken care of.
As far as the function behind the fashion, Oakley has something called High Definition Optics (HDO) that ensures dad will see everything with razor-sharp clarity. HDO virtually eliminates the distortion found in ordinary sunglasses that can make objects appear shifted from their true positions. Even if dad's eyes have seen a few years pass by, the patented technologies of HDO will help him get the most out of his vision.
How do sunglasses show him you care? July is UV safety month, a time to remind ourselves that ultraviolet light is linked to eye diseases. All the lenses in this build-it-yourself program filter out 100 percent of UVA, UVB and UVC. They also offer outstanding protection against impact. It's like giving dad a bear hug of safety.
This gift-buying solution takes away the dread of "will he like it?" while empowering dad with style, performance and protection. And it sure beats the heck out of a necktie.
The Oakley Custom Shop is available online at http://oakley.com/bto/ and at O Store retail outlets, Iacon stores and Oakley Premium Dealers.
