Give Your Wardrobe A Fruity Update With These Zesty Pieces
To help dad keep his dates and thoughts organised, a leather notebook would be a lovely gift that’s relatively inexpensive.
Choose from their wide range of skins and colours, as well as the paper layouts and finishing, and emblazon your father’s initials on it to make it wholly his.
Even though jewellery may not seem like a likely candidate for a gift, we love these Monica Vinader bracelets for their subtlety and versatility.
Get him a couple for him to layer with a watch, or just a solitary one engraved with a special message. We’re willing to bet that he’ll never take it off.
Dad’s gotta keep his namecards somewhere, so why not make it a special cardholder from Burberry?
The English luxury brand is providing engraving services that will allow you up to three alphabets or symbols, and you can pick from six embossing colours.
An engraved candle can be a great and surprising gift for your dad too. Plus, you get to enjoy having your house gorgeously scented, so that’s an added boon!
We think the Lime Basil and Mandarin will pique dad’s nose, thanks to its balanced and green aroma that’s reminiscent of spending summer afternoon lounging by the beach.
Every man needs a great pair of dress shoes that he can walk comfortably in, your father included.
That’s why we are sold on the idea of getting dad a pair of bespoke shoes. The masters at Q Menswear will take down every measurement of your father’s foot, and custom-make a pair that’s solely fitted (pardon the pun!) to him.
What this means is that he’ll get to enjoy a pair of shoes moulded specifically for him, with unparalleled comfort. Talk about luxury!
Get the kids involved with a pair of cufflinks that hide a cheeky message! Have them scribble out a love note to their papa (or write a saucy one yourself!) and send it over to get it laser-cut into miniature “notes” that can be slipped into his cufflink.
The local label is known for making quality menswear that appeal to the discerning modern man, so we’d expect nothing less from their aromatics range.
Ditch the store-bought perfume and make an appointment with the guys at sifr Aromatics. Then, drop in for a chat with them, and watch as they synthesise a scent that is entirely unique for you father!
A timepiece signifies that you are forever by a person’s side. So in that spirit, splurge a little on a gift that dad will keep and wear for a lifetime.
Head over to the Jaeger-LeCoultre boutique, and ask the staff about their in-house engraving services. Then, look to the brand’s classic range of Reverso timepieces and pick a message to be etched into the underside of the face. It’s old-school and thoughtfully done!
