Raise your hand if you've ever dressed your children alike, even though they're not twins. My oldest is seven years, my youngest is six months, and they already have about five matching outfits. I happen to think it's adorable, so I'm taking advantage of my eldest still being willing to dress like her little sis. OK, raise your hand if you and your spouse have dressed alike...on second thought, don't raise your hand, burn all incriminating photos, and never mention a word of it again. Now, if you and your child have dressed alike, you're still in the safe zone and your reputation is intact. In fact, I'm guessing that made one incredibly cute photograph - like a picture of daddy and son wearing matching ties. Where would you find such items, you ask, and in time for the upcoming Easter holiday?
My Favorite Pal is an internet store that I just had to share with my readers. I thought the concept was so darn cute, and I don't even have a son! My Favorite Pal offers a great selection of matching ties for daddy, son, grandpa, brothers - well, you get the idea. The styles are quite modern, and there's a great variety of colors and designs. You won't find ties with cartoons or lightening bolts on them here. These are ties that a man would actually want to wear (and won't embarrass you, if you're walking next to him).
Your two favorite men, dressed alike for dinner out, for church services, or to just upstage everyone at this summer's family reunion. And, of course, daddy and son wearing matching ties will make THE perfect photo. I can hear the oohs and aahs from the grandparents already.
My Favorite Pal is a mom-owned company (love that). Mama Brooke was inspired to start the business following the birth of her son, and an exhaustive search for him to have a tie that matched daddy's. Brooke knew she wasn't the only one who desired this item, but had a challenging time finding it. "My husband and I decided we had to do something to make things easier for moms and give them more options, thus My Favorite Pal was born! Hopefully we can make it an easier, happier experience."
Well, you sure made us happier, Brooke, by offering one of your fabulous ties for a Giveaway! The Winner receives one My Favorite Pal tie of their choice. And with such fantastic prices, PLUS a current sale of 40% off some items, you can easily purchase a matching tie for all the other men in the family!
