There are lots of great looks, suits, classic sport coats and accessories at Jos. A. Bank, who offers fantastic sales on shirts, snappy ties, cuff links and classic watches.

Traditional Dad
Is your dad so traditional he is stuck in the Stone Age? If he's a Fred Flintstone type, the best way to his heart is through his stomach. There are great bbq items from Von Maur and bbq cook books from the Book Market. Or how about a fun cartoon-inspired cookie basket from Cookies by Design. Don't forget fun gift wrap ideas, like the old "use the comic strip from the newspaper" routine, perhaps for traditional frugal dad.
