Last Minute Shopping For Father's Day

On Father's Day, Sunday, June 16 daddy's everywhere will not only hope to get small reprieve from mowing lawns and lugging the kids to soccer games or baseball games, but earnestly hope that their day of honor will yield them something a little more useful than the normal gifts of ties and socks.

But where can the loved ones of gaming enthusiasts find unique and practical Father's Day gifts? One site in particular, POKERproducts.com offers a vast array of gaming items for that hard-to-buy-for daddy.

"We started in 1998 because it took me 4 months to find an affordable poker table, so I started my own company to sell affordable tables," said Tom Stratton, president of POKERproducts.com. "I then found out that I wasn't the only one to suffer from that type of frustration. We've been extremely busy since the get go," Stratton said.

POKERproducts.com has been so busy and so successful that in May, The Wall St. Journal did a critique on several Internet sites selling gaming products and POKERproducts.com was rated best overall.

Stratton, a veteran on two combat tours as a medic in Viet Nam with the famous 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), hasn't forgotten his military roots. "We shipped cases of our "American Eagle" playing cards to the troops in Afghanistan. We also donate a considerable amount of gaming products to charities that are holding casino-night events to raise money," he said.

POKERproducts.com ships everywhere in the world. "We offer free shipping on all of our poker tables for people who live in the 48 contiguous states, but the farthest we've shipped to, aside from Afghanistan, was South Korea. The president of South Korea ordered one of our poker table sets and we had to ship it to Seoul," said Stratton.

When asked what are the most popular gift items, especially for Father's Day, Stratton replied, "Our most popular items are the 52" Oak Folding Leg Poker Table (normally sells for $259.00 - now only $244 through Fathers Day) and our

Wooden Carousel with 300 casino quality clay poker chips for (selling for $139.00).

From just selling affordable poker tables POKERproducts.com expanded into providing all types of poker and gaming-related souvenirs ranging from leather poker chip cases to cards, dice, blackjack and roulette tables. Even popcorn machines. So if you're in a fix about what to get dear old dad this year POKERproducts.com may just be your answer and that's no bluff.
