If you’re looking for a unique Father’s Day present, check out this book by Peter Lawrence—The Happy Minimalist. It’s one of those books that really makes you think about life and what is important. Peter talks about how to live simply without feeling deprived. The book is practical and inspirational at the same time.
And what does the man who lives so minimally have? An OttLite! He’s had it since 1997. One of Peter’s tips is to “slay the energy vampires” by reducing electricity costs, turning off appliances and switching to energy efficient lighting. Here’s what Peter says about OttLite …
“I have a portable lamp that I use when I read. I bought that lamp in 1997 and have yet to replace the bulb. It is not only better for your eyes, it also saves energy.”
Visit Peter’s website to buy the book. Pair it with an OttLite Task lamp for a minimalist present that will get maximum appreciation from dad!
Hey,
I had been looking to gift a unique present to my father, and this sounds so interesting. He is fond of reading in night but due to his age, his eyes are gradually giving way. Adding an ottlite desk lamp is a fabulous gifiting idea if coupled with a book.

I always have a hard time getting something for my father on father’s day. I don’t think you can really go wrong in getting a book.
