For all the love and sacrifices he has for the family, dad deserves gifts that are thoughtful and useful. Plus, it won’t hurt if they’re a bit of a splurge — because after all, you can’t put a price tag on love.
This is the iPad of the future. Available in an 11″ and a 12.9″ size, your dad will get to enjoy watching all his favourite shows and browsing through old photos in brilliant colour, thanks to its retina display. Plus, with the additional Apple Pencil that attaches to the iPad Pro, it offers him even more ways to interact with his favourite apps with greater tactility.
Even if dad doesn’t wear cufflinks on a daily basis, there’s no reason why he shouldn’t have a pair for the occasional moment he decides to break out his fancy suits and ties. These sparkly wrist companions are all that he needs to turn up in style.
Good style begins with a thorough grooming regime, and that includes having a shaver that gives him an unparalleled shaving experience.
Regardless of gender, having a good sunscreen is essential to ensure that your skin isn’t attacked by harmful UV rays. So if dad isn’t aware of the benefits that come with wearing a daily sunblock, make sure you start him off with a trusty sun cream.
You can have a guy come dressed in his smartest attire, but he tries to squeeze his overstuffed wallet into his pocket, even the sharpest suit can’t save him. So eliminate dad’s risk of overstuffing his wallet by getting him an external coin pouch, which will leave him with a lighter wallet and a pocket that doesn’t look like it might explode.
From the best tech gadgets to the essentials for a stylish life, take Christmas as an opportunity to kit your sibling with the tools a modern gentleman needs.

Menswear has definitely gotten more interesting in the past few years, but nothing can beat the power that a well-tied tie has. Not only does it instantly lift a man’s demeanor, it’s the surest way to make sure he looks good when he hits the office.
Every man should have a good face wash in his toiletries bag, so if your brother is still looking for the “one”, start him with this exfoliating cleansing foam. Not only does it remove dirt, it leaves his skin feeling moisturized and devoid of any tightness.
