On the Twelfth Day of Christmas...

I have gotten a lot of my Christmas shopping done, but I still have one person to shop for. I need all the help I can get for ideas for my dad!! He is into hunting, Ole Miss football, new technology, and preppy clothes (thank goodness!). I welcome all ideas, comments, hints, questions, etc. etc.

Here is what I got the rest of my family:

MOM


My parents go to every home football game at Ole Miss and host a very large tailgate. So I always know that they need entertaining gear for that. This year I got her the vegetable platter. My mother always insists on bring a cru de tet platter (like the ones from the grocery store). At least now she will have something pretty to put her store bought goodies on. I found this at a cute little store in Hernando, Mississippi called The Square Cupboard, but you can also find them online for your team here.

BROTHER


If you can't tell already, my family are huge Ole Miss fans (no body likes UT but me... oh well!). When you go to an Ole Miss football game all of the girls go to the game in dresses, while the guys where ties (it is one of the dressiest football games you have ever seen). My brother doesn't have a specific tie for game days, so I decided to get him one with Colonel Reb on it. This picture displays the tie I choose from Southern Proper.

SISTER

My sister is the easiest to shop for because she likes everything that I like. This is my sister's year to pick out her Vera Bradley pattern so that she can get a set to take with her to college. I decided to get her the Cosmetic bag in her new pattern, Mediteranean Blue. Also, since my sister is into horses too, I got her these magnets from one of my favorite companies Eliquus.

Okay so know you have a better picture of what my family is into. Now I need your help!! Let me know if you have any ideas of what I should get my dad.

Where did you get the southern proper tie? I want the headband that they have that is navy with smokey on it!

What about getting your dad a pair of the Pennington & Bailes pants. You can check them out at their website. He may already have them since he is such a fan!! I got my son a pair {for U-T, of course} and he loves them. Also, Branson & Smathers sells the collegiate needlepoint belts. They are awesome. They also have a website!

Well, it is Smathers & Branson - I ALWAYS reverse that name :)

I'm just now playing catch up reading your blog! Yes, I'm only like 4 months behind reading posts! Anywho, one of my great friends and sorority sisters owns The Square Cupboard and I live in Hernando as well. How ironic! Small, small world :0
