Peachy's Fabulous Ideas for Father's Day!

Make this year’s Father’s Day a huge hit with this combination of classic and innovative mix of wonderful products for the Dad who deserves them. While it can be a struggle to get the perfect gift, Whom You Know has put on our thinking cap for you!

We do our best, but each year gifts seem to alternate between impractical or boring. Does dad really want golf balls if he doesn’t golf? [Wait, do people REALLY not golf?] And, would he really want another tie? This Father’s Day let’s treat Dad to a little TLC and pamper him with a gift he can really enjoy, while thinking of you everyday. Here’s a practical gift list that’s easy for Dad to incorporate into his daily routine.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
