(PRWEB) May 20, 2005 -- Finding the perfect Father’s Day gift for Dad can be a difficult if not impossible task. Father’s Day initiates the annual conundrum of what to buy the man who already has everything he needs. The new collection of Father’s Day Gift Baskets at GourmetGiftBaskets.com seeks to facilitate the process of finding Dad a gift he’ll truly love.

The sophisticated, upscale gift basket collection from GourmetGiftBaskets.com is a great place to begin your search. Successful gift giving begins with a process called “reverse engineering;” start with Dad’s tastes, preferences, and hobbies and work backwards towards the gift that best suits him. When you get a gift that matches his preferences, your chances of him burying your gift in the closet are significantly reduced.

If your Father loves to play golf, there are two new Golf Gift Baskets that are sure to be a huge hit. The Father’s Day Golf Gift Basket is a festive design complete with chocolate golf ball truffles and made inside a fully functional golf bag cooler. The other golf design, the Gourmet Golfing Gift Basket is constructed inside an elegant trunk and contains gourmet snack foods and a limited edition collectable bear.

If dad would “Rather Be Fishing,” then the Father’s Day Fishing Gift Basket is an excellent choice. The design is made inside a decorative fishing creel basket and is filled with gourmet snack foods and keepsakes including a photo frame and coffee mug.

For dads who are more comfortable in front of the grill than in the kitchen there is the Father’s Day Grilling Gift Basket. Made on a functional wicker-serving tray, the design comes with award winning grilling sauces, condiments, and snacks that are sure to make Dad a hero on the grill. For more choices, be sure to check out the complete line of Grilling Gift Baskets.

Wrapping up the new collection is the Father’s Day Breakfast Gift Basket. Inside a rustic basket are delicious gourmet breakfast food items that will guarantee Dad a fantastic breakfast Father’s day morning.

Any of the full line of gift baskets from GourmetGiftBaskets.com can make the perfect Father’s Day gift. Start with Dads’ tastes, preferences and hobbies and work backwards towards the perfect gift. Instead of finding the perfect gift and then trying to match it to the recipient, start with the recipient and work in reverse. Understanding this simple principal will instantaneously make you a better gift buyer for any occasion.

A T-Shirt from TummyWear Makes the Perfect Gift for Dad this Father's Day

TummyWear announces eight new t-shirts for Dads just in time for Father's Day.

(PRWEB) May 20, 2005 -- In response to the success of their first four "New Dad Shirts" and feedback from their customers, TummyWear has created eight new "Dad Shirt" designs. Whether he is a new dad, an experienced dad, an expecting dad, or even the father of twins or triplets, TummyWear has the perfect t-shirt for your dad this Father's Day.

Available at www.tummywear.org, amazon.com and shop.com, the new designs include clever twists on the "Property of..." shirts made popular by Athletic Departments and Colleges across the country. As a family with twins, the owners of TummyWear have also included several new designs with the father of twins and triplets in mind, and will be adding even more shirts for parents of twins, triplets, and higher multiples in the upcoming months.

"You see these athletic shirts everywhere. We thought it would be fun to do one from a parent's perspective. If you're a parent, you're property of your kids and not much else." said Tony McCullough, co-founder of TummyWear. "The addition of the XX and the XY on the boy and girl shirts turned out really great. We get a lot of comments on that. As a dad of twins, my personal favorite is the twins version. People do a double take when they see the twins design for the first time. It's been a lot of fun."

In addition to the "Property of..." designs, the new shirts include "Got Twins", "Dad Factor", "Real Men Have Twins" and others. TummyWear currently offers more than 45 designs in all with more arriving all the time. All of the new designs include the "tongue in cheek" humor that TummyWear has become known for.

*Fine Art Photographer Mr. Geoffrey Sinckler:

Silver Gelatin is a photographic process in which silver halides in a gelatin coating (emulsion) on paper is exposed to light. The light causes the silver to rapidly tarnish. The tarnish will show as gradients of black, the white is simply areas of the paper that have not been exposed. The latent image is then submerged into a initial developing bath the developed reveals the exposed portions resulting in a visible image. Once the desired exposure is reached, the image is stopped with a second bath and then fixed (made insensitive to light) by a third bath. It is rinsed, washed, rinsed again and then dried. The result is a Black and White Photograph. A moment in life captured in silver.

*Using Drop Shippers for Your Online Store
Don't want to deal with the headaches of inventory, warehouse space, shipping/receiving and product returns? Then drop shipping may be the answer.

How Drop Shipping Works:
Let's say Mary sets up a Web site where she sells "African American Art," priced at $100.00. A customer visits her site, places an order, and is billed $100.00 plus $11 for shipping and handling.Mary then logs on to Varietyartshop.com and places her order for the item ordered on her web site with her customer's order and shipping information. Variety Art Shop packs up the customer's order, puts Mary's shipping label on the package, and mails it out via USPS, usually within 48 hours.

Variety Art Shop then bills Mary for the wholesale price of the "African American Art"--in this case, $50 plus $6.60 for shipping and handling. Since Mary has passed the shipping and handling fee on to her customer, she just netted a profit of $50.00. And all she had to do was place an order on Variety Art Shop.

Drop Shipping Advantages:
In addition to not having to worry about shipping products yourself, there are a few other advantages to this business model. First, it saves you the cost of building your own inventory. If you're like most people starting a small business, you don't have a ton of extra money lying around--the last thing you want to do is tie up your cash in inventory that you may or may not be able to sell.

Second, no inventory also means no leftovers. If the product you sell suddenly becomes outdated, obsolete or just plain un trendy, you aren't the one with a room or warehouse full of stock nobody will buy. Many online retailers find themselves having to offer deep discounts--and taking huge losses--on old products just to get them out of their homes or warehouses to make room for more inventory.

Third, you'll be able to add new products to your site almost instantly. Since you don't have to worry about stocking inventory, if you find that your customers are clamoring for a particular product, it's not unrealistic to expect you could add the item to your site in just a few days.
