2008 Father’s Day Gift Guide

You’re the apple of his eye; he’s the favorite tree in your orchard. Time to tell the big guy why.

He’s an Oldie but a Goodie
The man appreciates a great vintage. Give him a Retro Sport political tee (Oslo’s, 1519 Queen Anne Avenue North; 206-282-6756), Molton Brown skin products, or take him to Paul Allen’s Flying Heritage Collection of WWII combat planes (opens June 6).

He’s Got Game
Rain or shine, he came to all your games. Say thanks with Seattle Sounders tickets or book a tee time at Chambers Bay. Then ease his pain with a sport massage at Dreamclinic.

He’s the King of the Kitchen
The way to his heart is through fiery Blazin’-Hot sauces, a cooking class with Canlis alum Greg Atkinson, or Steelhead Diner’s fly-fishing-themed Father’s Day brunch benefiting Long Live the Kings (reserve at 206-625-0129).

He’s in It to Win It
Treat young pappys to a leather Rian satchel, (Marqsmen, 1083 Bellevue Square; 425-679-5610), a Solio gadget charger (REI, 222 Yale Avenue North; 206-223-1944), or an Electricbaby laptop sleeve.

You always knew it: He’s pretty rad for a dad.
