Father's Day is less than two weeks away and I'll be giving gifts not only to my husband, but to a few of the special men who've meant a lot in my life.  Here are some of my favorite gift ideas. 

...

I love Japan so much that I wrote a whole book about the country.  One of my favorite things to do when I'm in Tokyo is to eat at izakaya spots:  tiny little restaurants where you can get grilled meat, fish and veg for cheap along with great sake and beer. 

This little Japanese grill is the perfect thing to create the spirit of izakaya in your own backyard. I adore the sleekness of the design.  I love the $38. price tag even more.  This little grill would pair perfectly with a DVD of a classic Japanese film like High Low.  This way, you can give your guy a "dinner and a movie" gift with Asian flair.  You could even add a six pack of Asahi beer to the present to seal the deal, Japanese style.

I'm a Brooklyn girl through and through so I'm just crazy about these old school transit token cufflinks.  You can choose from New York, Boston, Chicago or San Francisco. And if you really want to splurge, you can get your man a French cuff shirt from Thomas Pink so he has a board room ready shirt to rock the cufflinks with.

 Finally, as a writer, there are few things I love more than personalized stationary.  And there are few stationers that I love more than Tina J.  She's offering a Father's Day special if you order before June 9th.

So what about you? What are you planning to get the Papas in your life?  Is there a gift that you'd love to tell your fellow Root readers about?
