Literanista’s Gifts for Papi

Literanista June 17, 2009

Father’s Day is right around the corner and I say the perfect gift is to spend time together.

If you live in the city, what about taking Papi and your siblings on a chartered fishing excursion? http://www.nycfishing.com/


You have some fun in the sun and get to take your catch home.

Or for a bit more take him on a Guided Private Fishing Trip.

If you want to gift Daddy with a new night table delight, how about:

The Gift of Time: Letters from a Father by Jorge Ramos

Gabriel García Márquez: A Life by Gerald Martin

Hard Corps: From Gangster to Marine Hero by Marco Martinez
