Father's Day: Something different

By Marcia Pounds June 9, 2008 12:02 PM

I've bought the usual for my Dad for Father's Day: books, CDs, movies, electronics.
This year, I've decided to go completely different. I'm buying him shower gel.

Yes, I can see his eyebrows raise and his face scrunch as he opened it. But, oh, when he gets in the shower, he'll enjoy it.

I sampled the L'Occitaine shower gel this weekend and it smells great. Then I spotted a package for men for $44 with free shipping from L'Occitaine En Provence, one of my favorite lines. Since my Dad lives in Illinois, the free shipping is especially attractive.

My Mom will probably appreciate my gift as well! -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds
