What’s a Father’s Day without a tie?! Check out these StatesMan Ties. These ties are all ones that represent a country or a state. And they can be personalized!

We ordered the United States tie (of course), and the California tie. The United States tie is a Navy blue tie with red and white strips, and an embroidered star on the bottom corner. It’s the perfect touch of patriotism without being too cheesy with it. This classic tie looks sleek, and professional.

We also got ours embroidered with a special message on the back just for dad.

The California tie is kind of similar, but in a royal blue, with red and white stripes. It has the California bear emblem embroidered on the bottom corner. These ties are great quality, and look fantastic. They have lots of other countries and states to choose from as well.

Father’s Day is coming up and we all know that dads are notoriously difficult to buy for. Ask any dad what they would like for Father’s Day, and the likely answer will be “Anything is fine.” Or worse, “I don’t know.”

Well, going to the store and trying to purchase an I don’t know anything is fine is pretty difficult. So we all default to the same things year after year: ties, grilling accessories, favorite foods, camping gear. And then, pretty soon, Dad has all of that stuff and you’re totally stuck for gift ideas.

So I thought I’d give you a few new ideas for Father’s Day gifts that are just a little twist on the traditional dad gifts.

Father’s Day gift ideas for the dad that already has everything. One of these unique twists on the traditional father’s day gift might be just what the dad in your life really wants!

Ties

Ties are always a go to gift for dads—at least, I always find myself buying them for my husband and my dad. It’s fun to pick out something pretty that they might like, but what if you picked out a meaningful tie instead? My husband loves music themed ties since he’s a music professor, for instance. If you know your guy will wear a fun tie that reflects part of his personality or his interests, go for it.

I recently found a tie company called Statesman Ties. They sell ties based on the flags of different countries and states, and they are really classy—something any dad would feel comfortable wearing to the office. If your guy has a particular connection to a state or a country, these ties would make a great gift!

Since many of my readers are LDS, I know you will love this idea! Your husbands and fathers probably served missions somewhere in the world and would love a meaningful tie to remind them of the country or state they served in.

Buy a Statesman Tie as a Father’s Day gift or a gift for a missionary. Ties are available in the flag styles of many different countries and states and dad is sure to love one!

Statesman Ties was kind enough to send me a tie to sample, and it is well made. The Maestro served in Romania, but since that tie hasn’t been added yet (they are adding new ones all the time), I decided to get Belgium which we gifted to a good friend. We even had his missionary title put on the tag, which is another cool way to personalize your tie.

Statesman Ties and Everyday Ellis

Check out this blog post from April, featuring some of our amazing ties and one adorable couple!!

Originally featured on Everyday-Ellis

Apr 4, 2017

I was given this tie from Statesman Ties to review. All opinions are my own. I would never recommend a product I didn’t truly love and use. I can promise that I only give honest reviews.

Today I have a really cool gift to share with you to get for your husband, boyfriend, or guy friend! These ties from Statesman Ties are all about giving ties to others that have a special meaning. Each of these ties represents a special place in the lives of your man. Representing a place that your man either lived or went on their mission to is what these ties are all about. Statesman Ties has ties that represent a variety of different states and countries. I wish I had known about these before my guy friends went on their missions, because it would’ve been the perfect gift to give them. Customers even have the option to customize the ties with personalized messages or names embroidered.

I decided to get Kyle the Germany tie because that is where he served his mission and he loved it! It was so fun to see him get excited about the symbol at the bottom of the tie as well, because I could tell Germany meant so much to him. When I asked Kyle what he liked about the tie he said it was one of the best ties he has. He loves that it is a high quality tie, made from good material that doesn’t wrinkle. When I first gave him the tie, I remember he immediately said what great quality the tie was and how impressed he was by that.

Purchase Ties Here

Since Kyle loves the tie so much, we decided to team up with Statesman Ties to giveaway one of their ties of your choosing! Entering is easy and can be done below!

Missionary haircut: A love story

“I would never date Elder Whitlock. He’s super young and has really bad hair.”

-A stupid person, probably

Mind the gap.

One thing not many people know about Eric and I is that we met while serving as missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Montana.

Montana absolutely transformed me. Us, really. I think of it every day in some way or another. Eric and I talk of it often and loved visiting several times while attending school in Idaho. So many sacred things have happened there. Most importantly, a friendship that was a foundation for our family.

We have so many treasured memories from Montana. Our home is slowly and surely becoming a shrine to the state. We have proudly displayed the Montana flag, rock a “Get Lost” bumper sticker and have enough Montana-themed prints that multiple people ask us if we’re from Big Sky Country.

A tie that means something

But I have to tell you about my favorite new shop for missionary memorabilia and gifts. Statesman Ties is what mission story dreams are made of. It’s a tie of your mission, people! The tie is 100% woven silk with designs inspired by the state’s or country’s flag. Well, coming from a couple that decorates with the Montana flag, how could we pass this up?

There are dozens of missions to choose from, with more on the way. Rob and Amy, who own the shop, (who also both served missions, hashtag totes presh) are so friendly and kind to work with. They are truly passionate about giving and creating a mission keepsake. I can’t wait to gift a tie to my brothers. (Don’t worry, there like a 2 percent chance they read this blog, so they’ll still be surprised.)

“I don’t know how to look sexy, so I’ll just look confused.”

Eric loves the tie. And I love Eric. So really, it’s a match made in heaven. Or Montana. Which is basically the same thing anyway.

This is our story.

When I got my mission call to Billings, Montana, in November 2009, needless to say I was somewhat deflated.

If you’re LDS, you know that so many prospective missionaries talk about that moment they read in their letter where God has sent them to labor in his wide, white field that is ready to harvest. The spirit overwhelms them, often times to tears, and they just. know. that’s where they are meant to serve.

Yeah. That didn’t happen for me.

It was a different kind of tears that overwhelmed me. The angry, confused, disappointed, someone-at-Church-headquarters-has-a-twisted-sense-of-humor kind of tears.

Alas, after some solid humbling from God to me, I knew that Montana was where I was meant to serve. I just had no idea that while I was serving with my whole heart in Montana, God was preparing it for the greatest blessing of my life.

Eric Whitlock.

Granted, Eric wasn’t the reason I served a mission. Far, far from it, in fact.

I served for a woman named Jane. A man named Marvin. A family named the Callisons. Ultimately, I served for Jesus Christ. For the opportunity to be “called of Him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life.”

Eighteen months after stepping foot into Big Sky Country (yes, it really is bigger), I boarded a plane back home to California, giant tears streaming down my face. I still feel the pain of leaving my mission.

For about a year afterward, I wandered through school, one and a half relationships and a million more first dates, finally swearing off dating for a long time.

In June of 2012, I must have told God these plans, because the ripples of his belly laugh rattled my neatly folded and planned out life.

On June 26, I got a Facebook message from an old mission friend, Eric Whitlock.

Elder Whitlock and I had served around each other for the backend of my mission. We met in Kalispell, Montana, where we served in the same general area, called a district. We struck up a friendship but I remember distinctly thinking, “I would never date Elder Whitlock. He’s super young and has really bad hair.”

Oh, bless your heart, Sister Buchanan.

Call me maybe

But it was his Facebook message that did the trick.

“HIIIIIIIIIIII:D I am home. And it IS crazy. Here’s my number. Call me maybe!”

I laughed, called him and we started chatting regularly on the phone. A few weeks later, we met up in St. George for a mission reunion to celebrate the homecoming of our mission president and his sweet wife, who had just finished their three years of service as well. When I saw Elder Whitlock, now Eric (the newer model had much better hair), he picked me up off the ground, twirling me around in our first hug. Missionaries, who dedicate their time, efforts and heart to teaching about the Doctrines of Christ also avoid physical contact with the opposite sex except for handshakes. This was some serious new territory for us.

St. George, 2012.

Yet we were nearly inseparable for the rest of the weekend, and I knew I had someone special when he stayed up until 2 in the morning to talk to me on the phone so I would make it back home to Rexburg, Idaho safely after driving the full trek back from St. George.

We went on our first official date to the world’s worst haunted house in October, saw Les Miserables for a magical date in December when he kissed me the first time and were dating exclusively by the first of 2013.

Eric decided to come to BYU-Idaho to pursue ~~his education~~ me. In February we sat in the Rexburg Temple and decided to be married. On March 27, Eric officially asked me to be his wife and on July 13, 2013, almost a year to the day since he literally swept me off my feet in St. George, Eric and I were married for time and all eternity in the Mesa Arizona Temple.

And through it all we have each other, God, and some perfect memories of Montana.

Easter Baskets

For the first time ever… I am on top of things. I bought all of our Easter stuff last week (minus the candy) and I’m all prepped and ready to fill those little Easter baskets.

Growing up we always got a new church outfit & I have always loved that tradition, but since our winters are so long here & the kids got new church clothes for Christmas we decided to forego the Easter outfit this year.

I like to think of things that the kids need or could put to good use for Christmas stockings and Easter Baskets, mostly because I can kill two budgets birds with one stone.

Contigo Water Bottles

Should I Share My Ice Cream?

The “Easter Bunny” got the kids each a water bottle & a book about sharing. To share.

Sharky Toothbrush

Manning has lots of little chompers now, so a little toothbrush was in order. He has one that he hates, so I thought this little sharky one would be better.

Stencil Kit

Kess loves to color and draw, so I thought some stencils would be great for her – especially at church. I loved stencils as a little girl so this was a fun little gift to pick out.

Kess loves “prize eggs” (thanks YouTube) so she will be more excited about what’s in her plastic eggs than anything else. I’m making a little trip to Nampa right before Easter so I’ll be stocking up and candy and probably little things of play dough & small trinkets.

Before I had kids I decided that I would fill my kids Christmas stockings and Easter baskets with things other than candy. That way they wouldn’t eat too much junk and what not. Well guess what… while I still think that’s a great idea… you gotta have a filler that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Any guesses on what that might be? Candy. It’s candy.

The “Easter Bunny” usually brings Matt and I little something, too… but the East Bunny is on a budget this year so we decided to keep it simple with some stainless steel water water bottles & treats. I usually love to get Matt a tie to wear to church or meetings each year, but I got this one a little early…

If you have a future or returned missionary, a hubby who loves a certain country/state or an “enthusiastic Idahohan” (as Matt was called in a newspaper interview last year) then Statesman Ties perfect gift for them.

Of course, Matt needed the Idaho tie, but I debated getting the skinny USA tie as well. I love that they will add custom embroidery as well.
So if you need a little something extra to add to the ol’ Easter basket, or something sentimental for the guy in your life – Statesman Ties have some really great options!

I hope this sends some Easter basket ideas your way!

I’m really looking forward to Easter candy this year – dang you baby weight for making me count my calories! Easter candy doesn’t count though, right?

Statesman Ties FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A Tie That Means Something March 2018

STATESMAN TIES AVAILABLE AT BYU-IDAHO BOOKSTORE

Statesman Ties ventures into physical locations, starting on BYU Idaho’s campus

MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA – Statesman Ties, a tie company specializing in ties that celebrate and remember (among other things) LDS Mission sites around the world, is proud to announce their eight unique tie designs ties will be available for sale at the Brigham Young University Idaho bookstore. This is the first time Statesman Ties will be available from a physical location, in addition to their regular online marketplaces. The ties will be available starting on March 19, 2018.

The men’s necktie retailer has sold thousands of ties across the country and is now gaining a foothold in brick and mortar locations. Statesman Ties Founder Rob Caldwell said, “Offering our Idaho ties at BYU-Idaho will allow students and faculty alike to share a common bond over their school. The partnership with BYU-Idaho will give people affiliated with BYU something tangible to remember their time at the school in Idaho. Also, knowing that many of the students at BYU-Idaho have served LDS missions – or know someone who has served a mission – there will be a classy keepsake available to help them remember where they served or where they are from.”

Statesman Ties continues to push the envelope with tie designs, offering a range of men’s neckties inspired by different states around the U.S. and countries around the world. Each tie pays homage to a specific location, and the designs are often influenced by state and country flags. The ties make a great gift for a loved one who served their mission in the corresponding state or country. All Statesman Ties can be personalized with a 21-character message if ordered through the website.

Statesman Ties was created by Rob Caldwell and his wife, Amy Caldwell. On his last day in the Ukraine, Kiev Mission, some the very thoughtful members of one of the local congregations sent Rob home with various gifts. One gift was a necktie with the same colors as the Ukraine flag.That is when Rob realized that not only loved the people of the Ukraine, but truly appreciated his time serving his mission there, so much so that he was grateful to have a tie that would always remind me of my time there: A tie that means something.

It was with that phrase in mind that Rob created Statesman Ties back in 2006. Statesman Ties uses the tagline “A Tie That Means Something,” because the custom neckties are more than just a fashion statement. They are a statement of pride and a unique way for a person to be reminded of a country or area they’ve served in as an LDS Missionary, or just a country that they are fond of and like to visit. All ties are guaranteed for life, if a Statesman necktie ever falls apart, rips, or is in any way defective, it will be replaced no questions asked.

Idaho ties, and the dozens of other Statesman Ties are always available directly through the Statesman Ties website at StatesmanTies.com

Haute Moms Life

by: Adrianna Costa

Can you believe the holidays are almost here?? Christmas decorations up, holiday music blaring from the speakers..and GIFT OVERLOAD. It seems year after year we struggle to find the most special people in our lives, well, extra special gifts. Do you have that dilemma? When Amazon just won’t cut it, good news we’ve got ya covered.

Ladies, you can knock one item off your to-do list because we’re letting you in on the best kept secret for your man — The Statesman Tie…more than just a necktie. In other words, it’s a personalized tie marking a destination or state your man has a connection to. For example, my husband Scott lives in California, and loves his two little ones so I snagged him the California Tie-with the California brown bear on the front and on the back — close to his heart — we embroidered Sonnet and Gibson.

Alright now for some quick fun facts: The customized ties will run between $32-$40. And here’s what it includes: The option to have a customized message added to the back of the tie. Each message can contain up to two (2) lines of text, in multiple languages, with a maximum of 21 characters – including spaces – on each line. The embroidered message is with white thread on a black tag and then hand sew it on to the tie.
Each tie is 100% woven silk and measures 61” long x 3.5” wide. For more info or to place an order, check out www.statesmanties.com
