Father’s Day Gift Guide 2014

FOR THE DAD WHO LIKES TO SMELL GOOD:

L'OCCITAN PEBBLE SOAP

L’Occitane Pebble Soap

A classic and caring gift to give your father is a bottle of perfume. Some of the fragrances that caught are eye include the aquatic L’Occitane Collection de Grasse Mer & Mistral, woody musk and spicy Nautica’s Voyage N-83, the youthful but still woody GUESS? Night (great for young Dads), the citrusy John Varvatos Artisan (more sophisticated father) and our favourite choice this year, the citrusy David Beckham Intense Instinct (Limited Edition) which has an uber sexy look and scent. Or, if perfume is not his thing, consider something as simple as L’Occitane Pebble Soap which has an exquisite scent of nutmeg and lavender with just enough pepper to keep it masculine.

FOR THE DAD WHO LIKES CHOCOLATE:

Golf Balls

Chocolate golf balls from Purdy’s

Vancouver brand Purdy’s Chocolatier has some modern and playful products that are nonetheless premium in quality and taste. For Dad, we feel you can’t go wrong with their Golf Balls (sold out online, but check local stores to see if it’s available) paired with a classic box of assorted milk/dark or perhaps even paired with one of the books we recommended above. The Golf Balls set contains three milk chocolate balls and two white chocolate balls. If your father has more exotic tastes, we highly recommend Purdy’s Passion Fruit Caramel. It feels like there is magic in each bite and it’s sure to put a smile on your Dad’s face.

FOR THE DAD WHO LIKES HIS HAIR:

SONY DSC

Senscience Energy Shampoo and Actif Mist

Senscience Energy Shampoo and Actif Mist to bring luxury into his grooming and a Hollywood feel to his hair. For a more simple yet luxurious choice, LUSH Cosmetics has New Shampoo that is clove and cinnamon based and actually thickens aging/thinning hair. LUSH also has a Dirty Hair Cream that will keep his hair in place in a natural way, and smells great! KEVIN.MURPHY ROUGH.RIDER, as an alternative, is a superstrong hold matte clay that is perfect for sculpting hair with texture and volume. It gives a certain finesse that really appeals to young Dads. For even more adventurous Dads, got2b Spiking Wax will guarantee to make his hair talked about.

On the other end of the spectrum, there is a cool Inhibitif Shave-Control Post Care product which slows new visible hair growth and trains the beard to grow back finer and softer.

FOR THE DAD WHO LIKES TO READ:
Snipers Honor
Sniper’s Honor
If he likes action thrillers, this season’s hottest read is Sniper’s Honor by New York Times bestselling author Bob Lee Swagger. A historical thriller, part modern adventure this book uncovers why WWII’s greatest sniper was erased from history and why it is still relevant. If your father prefers an epic saga, All the Light We Cannot See: A Novel by Anthony Doerr is your best bet. The novel revolves around a blind French girl and a German boy trying to survive World War II. It’s charming, heartfelt and the sort of book you don’t want to put down. For the more practical Dad – who happens to like to fish, your must-buy this Father’s Day is The Total Fishing Manual (Canadian edition): 317 Essential Fishing Skills by Joe Cermele. This guide is extremely detailed and features gaming tips as well as a heads up on where to catch rare species.
