Gifts For the Fly Fisherman

FitSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:00:04 -0800

Here at Sugar, holiday season is already in full swing - you better believe I've been making my list for who's been naughty and nice! To make gift shopping a breeze for you, we'll be offering up a bevy of gift ideas in the coming weeks for all the special fit folk in your life.

If you're like me, you have a man in your life that likes to fish. As a young girl, I always looked forward to weekend fishing trips with my dad, but I've since traded in my reel for a yoga mat and a day on the rocks. My dad is still going strong, though. Here are a few things I'm scoping out for him that may come in handy for the special fisherman in your life, too.

Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die ($16) Beautiful photographs and descriptions of the 50 best fly fishing spots in the world. This book gives the fish fanatic something to dream about, or inspiration for his next trip.
Tie-a-Fly ($22) Bob Henley's fly kits are an easy and inexpensive way to learn how to tie fly patterns. Each kit comes with enough material to tie 12 flies.
Gallatin Lanyard ($39) Every good fisherman needs to have his gear handy, and a lanyard is an easy way to keep the essentials within an arm's reach. It's padded with foam to keep the neck comfortable, and it has an adjustable length of nine to 27 inches.
Embroidered Clearwater Mesh Vest ($57) Even knee-deep in water, you still gotta look good! No fly fisherman is complete without his vest, and this one gets you remembered for the personal embroidered pocket.
Fly of the Month Club ($60-220) For three, six, or 12 months, the Fly of the Month Club will send that special someone premium flies right to their door.

My dad's the best. He's always there for me, gives me sound advice, and is cool to hang out with. Last Sunday was Father's Day so it was all about him. We headed to a yummy lobster brunch - only the best for my pops. I asked you to help me find a cute outfit for this special day. I suggested shorts . . .

I started you off with these unique Bing Bang Cherokee Earrings; they're my newest lust. Let's see what you came up with!

Look #1, created by bvfashion, is brunch at its best. Pairing a chambray top with Balenciaga heels is so unexpected and cool.

GeekSugar — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 10:10:01 -0700

Today not only marks the first day of Summer (it's about time!), but it's also Father's Day - a time to celebrate all of the amazing fathers out there!

This past week, we not only offered up some geeky gift ideas for all of the dads out there, but we also listed the tech you should wean him off of and provided gadget suggestions that are sure to keep him up with the times.

Here's to wishing all the dads out there a very special Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day!

BuzzSugar — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 07:30:41 -0700

Aw, this image makes me feel a little misty, as I immediately think back to the scene in Three Men and a Baby in which the men sing "Goodnight Sweetheart" to the baby Mary. Too cute.

As for another of my favorite fictional dads, I love this Bill Cosby line: "I am your father. I brought you in this world, and I'll take you out!" Cosby has used the line in his stand-up and it made it into a scene in The Cosby Show in which Dr. Huxtable gives an economics lesson to his son (check out the funny clip after the jump). Today, remember to celebrate and thank all the funny, loving and generous dads in your lives. After all, they brought you into the world!

For more fun with fictional dads, check out my TV dad quote quiz and my movie dad quote quiz. Happy Father's Day! To see the Cosby Show clip, read more.
