Pops, daddy, “my old man,” or big guy: whatever you call your father — or father figure — chances are, he’s one of the most important men in your life. Luckily, there’s a day designed just for paying tribute to his impact: Sunday, June 16. Whether you’re up for a big, big splurge or looking to gift something small and sentimental, Rebecca Tay uncovers five perfect present ideas for Father’s Day.
Best gift for a golf dad
Classic and timeless, why not treat dad to a round of golf — and a new polo shirt for the game, too? This navy style by Swedish brand Peak Performance is made of soft cotton piqué that’s been dyed in a way that uses significantly less water, energy and chemicals — so you can help dress your dad and feel pretty good doing it.
Best gift for a timepiece dad
If money is no object, or perhaps if you’re timing Father’s Day with a milestone birthday — say, a 40th or 50th — then this Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch is the ultimate treat. Huge among the watch collectors and ‘Speedy’ fans, it has been hotly anticipated since it was first seen on the wrist of Daniel Craig last November, and features a lacquered white dial inspired by space exploration — fitting given the Speedmaster Moonwatch has been worn by NASA astronauts since 1965.
Best gift for a sports dad
This classic story by beloved Canadian author Roch Carrier makes a sentimental Father’s Day gift for any hockey-loving dad — especially if it’s from a toddler or young child who he can read it to. It tells the story of a boy named Roch, who outgrows his beloved Montreal Canadiens sweater only to find that its replacement comes arrived, not with legendary Habs player Maurice Richard’s number 9 emblazoned on it, but with the blue and white logo of the team’s rivals, the Toronto Maple Leafs, instead. It’s a timeless tale about growing up, fitting in, friendship, and, of course, teamwork.
Best gift for a fashion dad
If your dad knows more about designer brands and fashion labels than anyone else you know, he’ll appreciate this ‘Casa Way’ T-shirt by Paris brand Casablanca. Founded by Charaf Tajer and known for its sporty-meets-sophisticated esthetic and collaborations with the likes of New Balance and Bulgari, this is a gift that shows you don’t just listen to what he says, you also pay attention to his threads.
Best gift for a cosy dad
Some dads pay a lot of attention to their home: from the furniture and decor in each room to the way it feels and smells. The house isn’t just a place to kick off your shoes and sit back — it’s a place that says a lot about you. If that sounds like your dad, he’ll appreciate this d’Orsay 9:15 ‘En tête à tête’ candle, a fresh, woodsy scent that looks as gorgeous as it smells.
