Above anything else, I hate to lose. – Jackie Robinson

Father’s Day: Sunday, June 15, 2014
What to get Dad for Father’s Day? Hmmmmm? The traditional tie doesn’t really work anymore with our increasingly casual society. But a Smile…yeah! As Mark Borella, aka The Seeds of Happiness Guy always says: “You can’t go wrong with a Smile.”
* Maybe he is a baseball fan: How about a Big Baseball Seed of Happiness?
* He can always use a baseball cap, and we guarantee that when he opens this gift he will be smiling! (p.s. AND they are on sale right now; 20% off!)
* Your dad can start his day with a Smile in his coffee mug.
* Or, we have two different sizes of tumblers to hold his hot AND cold beverages.
So, there are lots of fun choices for your dad…let the shopping begin!
