			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I write a monthly <a href="http://handmadephilly.wordpress.com/2010/06/10/gift-guide-daddys-favorite/" target="_blank">gift guide</a> for Handmade Philly and thought you might be interested in it too! Hope you find something good!</p>
<p>Oh my goodness, it&#8217;s almost father&#8217;s day! Don&#8217;t worry though, you still have a week and a half to pick out and order up the perfect gift. My dad is a traditional manly man. He works with his hands all day and I just can&#8217;t use a tie as a back up gift for him. Good news, I have a whole community of crafters to rely on &#8211; thanks Handmade Philly!! Hopefully you can find something suitable for your dad too, no matter what he enjoys. Click on the photos for more info!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I don&#8217;t know about your dad, but mine always needs a notebook to keep track of things (mainly car maintenance &#8211; thanks dad!!!) Pick up a small journal or notepad from readwritebooks which Dad can easily slip into his pocket or keep in his glovebox.<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/40328791/small-japanese-bound-pencil-companion" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Readwritebooks" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.135136432.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Does Dad&#8217;s space need a little brightening? Choose any of the sweet, bright, manly prints available from Pragyak.<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/34780129/one-morning-limited-edition-colorful" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Pragyak" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_430xN.103406038.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="332" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This might be the coolest thing ever. Give Dad a way to see you every day with this awesome snapshot pin from Amy Blasco Jewelry. Dad can swap out the pics as you change your hairstyle and he can use this pin as a (large) tie tack or attached to his laptop case.<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/47985865/snapshot-pin" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="AmyB's Jewelry" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_430xN.146814121.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="430" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We all know how much Dad appreciates his afternoon beverage, so show him your love with a can cozy available from Grey Overcast Creations.<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/19734228/12-oz-can-heart-cozy" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Greyovercast" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_430xN.53115933.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="430" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">If Dad spends lots of time in the office, I&#8217;m sure his coffee routine could use a change of pace. Mix it up a bit by gifting him this lovely new mug from Bohner Designs.<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/32619713/hello-blue-monday-tea-cup" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Bohner Designs" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_430xN.96122364.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="285" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Something else to brighten up Dad&#8217;s workspace &#8211; a terrarium! Pick up this small terrarium in person in Philadelphia from Felt &amp; Kept (no shipping available!).<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/49116010/milk-bottle-terrarium-local-delivery" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Felt and Kept" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_430xN.150358188.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="645" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I don&#8217;t know about your Dad, but mine eats on the run every single working day. Set him up with this flatware set so he always has some utensils handy. It also comes with a cloth napkin and sandwich bags!<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/45858630/reusable-flatware-set-blue" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Fabrik" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_430xN.140895827.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="332" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Clean up Dad&#8217;s act with this lovely soap dish holder from Light Mosaics. It&#8217;s gorgeous for catching light at the kitchen sink or in Dad&#8217;s bathroom counter.<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/47316645/mosaic-soap-dish-light-blue-dark-blue" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Light Mosaics" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_430xN.144951633.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="322" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">These custom felties from Sqrl &amp; Bee Studio are just too cute to pass up! Pick up one that resembles Dad, or maybe one that resembles you to grace his workspace. Even better, get one to stand for all your siblings so Dad can always have his family nearby!<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/32199588/custom-feltie-boy-gnomes" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Sqrlbee" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_430xN.94712076.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="286" /></a></p>
<p>Hopefully you found something in this guide that your Dad will enjoy! Don&#8217;t forget about the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=tag_title_all&amp;search_query=Philly%20Team" target="_blank">tons of other items</a> available from Handmade Philly artisans that weren’t included in this particular guide.</p>
<p>Happy Fathers&#8217; Day!!</p>
