Father's Day Gift Ideas
Note this date on your calendar: 16 of June, Father's Day. I give you a month's time so that it will be easier to find inspiration or to receive your order if you shop online.It is difficult to find something for a man, because the choice is always quite expensive being most of the gifts aimed at men are found among technological gadgets. But I have picked something nice, stylish and for dads of all ages.
Your dad will love this Windbridge full zip jumper by Canada Goose. It is made of merinos wool with wind-resistant panels, perfect for those walks outside when you don't know what kind of weather will be. Available in blue and red. www.canadagoose.com
For a sporty dad nothing better than some activewear by Bjorn Borg. Available either with short or long sleeves, this tee is made of a special fabric that transports moisture away and if yellow could be too much there is a black version as well. Pair it with a pair of shorts with inner and side pockets. www.bjornborg.com
This backpack is gorgeous and it will be a great gift for your daddy so that he can go to work and store safely his gadgets in the provided padded pocket and other features of the Morrison Leather backpack by Tumi. It can store a 15" laptop as well as other media devices. www.uk.tumi.com
This vintage style Wild & Wolf 746 corded telephone is gorgeous and John Lewis & Partners stock them in a choice of eight bright colours. The small modern touch is the dial buttons instead of the original designs but apart from that it is just like in the old days. It uses a standard phone socket. www.johnlewis.com
If your dad wears bracelets why not buy this gorgeous Tiger's Eyes, Onyx and leather bracelet by Simon Carter? Now that the warm weather is approaching, it will be a nice accessory to show off. The Onyx is separated from the tiger's eye beads by two metal elements. www.simoncarter.net
It is a real rock'n' roll scarf this Shangai Rose by Immortal. Its inspiration comes from the Golden Age Oriental Hollywood film's stars. Perfect to wear when commuting driving the scooter in traffic or for an evening out. It comes in a nice box so no need to gift wrap, just add a card. www.weareimmortal.com
A flat cap is an ageless accessory and depending how to combine the outfit around it, it can be very cool. This one is by Jacamo with a check Prince of Wales pattern and it is made of cotton and linen so very fresh to be worn this summer. www.jacamo.co.uk
A perfume might be an overrated gift but if the fragrance is unusual and not mainstream like these from Jusbox, you will see that it will be a gift with a twist. The key inspiration for all these fragrances is music and you can see that the lid is shaped as a vinyl record. The creators are from Milan and you can find them in Selfridges. www.jusboxperfumes.com
When I've seen this travel kit by Stolt I knew I was seeing a winner. This kit comprises a folding case where to pack an outfit, perfect for a business day trip or for going to gym after work. This case goes inside a backpack, so you have anything you need for a day. The website gives a lot of tips on how to pack and also you can order your customised kit with what you think it's best. Be quick at ordering this because it takes time to receive it. www.stoltrunning.com
Never think that your dad won't appreciate something like a pair of wireless earbuds. Being a dad doesn't mean being out of touch or old fashioned. The Urban Ears Jakan earbuds are great with a selection of 7 colours, 12 hours of wireless playtime and adjustable ear loop. www.urbanears.com
For the eco conscious dad go for the drinking bottle or the travel cup by Pantone. Choose among 8 colours and bear in mind that the bottle is just for cold drinks while you can put your hot drink in the travel cup. www.store.pantone.com/uk
