July 4th is Indepedence Day. Sort of. Technically, those founding fathers of ours signed the Declaration of Independence a couple of days earlier.  We at Tigerbow are sure you’ve got one of those smartypants friends that reminds you of this useless tidbit of buzkill year after year - so to fill them up with other birth of a nation trivia we recommend sending Founding Brothers: http://bit.ly/SAQbW.

If, however, you’d rather insult your British and Japanese friends, we have a few items in our new t-shirt category that may be of interest.  Have a look at http://bit.ly/gJj7Q and http://bit.ly/yzwtf.

Two ways to make your dad cool.  And one to make him like you.  Just in time for Father’s Day.

First thing’s first.  Send him a gift on Tigerbow.  Just as kids like the box more than the gift, your dad will like the gift just because he got it on his computer machine.  Second, when picking out your gift, consider this:  http://bit.ly/SwH8B - it’s a guide to teaching dads to be cool.  But let’s face it, dad’s aren’t supposed to be cool - they’re supposed to be goofy caricatures of our future selves that we swear we’ll never be but inevitably become.  So, to make your dad - and your future self - like you, send him some candy too.  http://bit.ly/JzzjC

http://bit.ly/15gPjV Know a graduate, but don’t know their address?  Send a real, hardcover copy of Dr. Seuss’s classic Oh, the Places You’ll Go to an email address, Facebook profile, or Twitter ID.  Then again, this is the worst job market in history so it may be a better idea to send some popovers http://bit.ly/IGx3 - it’ll save your graduate time on the breadlines.

It’s Nurse’s Day. Know or need one? Honor yours with a book http://bit.ly/ZbhYe or woo yours with flowers http://bit.ly/173Vz1
