In a wonderful coincidence, my trip home this upcoming weekend falls on Father’s Day so I’ll get the chance to see my Dad in person for only the second time in the past 6 months. While this may almost be gift enough for him, in case you’re still looking for a small way to say Thanks to your own Dad here are a few options…
I always try to go for something useful but just a little bit special when it comes to gift giving for my Dad (anything frivolous or flashy just won’t do). So if you have a father anything like mine – well first of all count yourself lucky – and then take my advice and get a gift that would make his everyday just a little more enjoyable.
Nest: Does your Dad have a favorite recliner, or maybe an office chair that’s always causing his back to ache? I love the statement this pillow makes – exactly the kind of sage advice a Dad would give. Plus it’s just the sort of bare bones decor that a man wouldn’t lump in with their usual hatred of “throw pillows”.
Dressed: Okay, okay, you can’t exactly wear this – but it’s something your phone wears and I didn’t want to suggest that you buy your Dad another tie, so cut me some slack. There is nothing more sleek and masculine in the world of tech accessories to me than a nice leather iPhone case. And aren’t Dads always reminding you to take care of your things?
The Rest: Somehow extravagant and also perfectly practical, whiskey stones keep drinks cold and undiluted. Whiskey aficionados or juice lovers, I can’t imagine anyone not liking the functionality of these.
