And because our daddies also love gifts, here are a few ideas for you to spoil them with..
A nice decoration, home fragrance, or a pretty candle to brighten up his study (check the ideas selection @ Diptyque ).. And for those dads who are more “wild and free”, we can most definitely find their kind of thing @ Nature & découvertes : weather station, gift voucher, essential oils diffuser, organic shaving kit, hammock, walkie talkie, barbecue, compass etc..
For the foodie daddies :
A nice breakfast, or brunch at their favorite restaurant, chocolates (the best in my opinion : l’atelier Ducasse @paris, but you can also find slightly cheaper but good ones @l’atelier du chocolat ), a mouthwatering and delicatessen selection (@Fauchon, La durée, Heydiard etc), a good bottle of wine, or even cooking class or wine testing workshop.. Studious dads that love reading? Easy peasy. Buy several good books that he enjoys , novels, fiction, non fiction, book on cars, cookbooks, travel guides, cartoons, or a monthly prescription for his favorite magazine.
Sporty dads (or not) ..
A new pair of trainers, a sports bag, or a new t-shirt for working our, something by Nike, Addidas, Reebok .. or a gym membership, or a sporting activity?
Fashion dads, or dads that are seriously in need of a fashion makeover???
Take them shopping…and if they don’t like it, you can always try and buy them some basic accessories to brighten up their plain or old fashioned style !
For the pretty-boy dads (or for those who need a little bit of help taking care of themselves)
Sephora is the perfect place to choose an attractive perfume gift set, or even better check this 100 % masculine website : le comptoir de l’homme to compose his own set of treatments and pamper products .. Khiel’s offers excellent male treatments and gift sets as well, and let’s not even mention Codage that I just love, which also is offering a special “Fathers day” deal. I absolutely love their packaging for their special care treatments, “beach time”, “on the road again”, “after skiing” or “skin rehab”etc ..
Something sweet :
Men also like to be pampered, so offer them a bear trim or a beauty treatment @ La barbière de Paris, or to any good barbers, or you can also treat them to a Balinese or Thai massage etc…
A hit of adrenaline, or a weekend away !
An introduction session for a helicopter, plane, parachute jump, scuba dive, an accrobranche session, or a little weekend getaway, something unusual (check @ groupon, wonderbox, smart box ..)
You have a geeky dad who likes all the things high tech and state of the art?
Watch out, these do not come cheap, but if you can afford then the latest drone models, go pros, cameras, tablets or telephones should make them very happy. Some ideas here for all budgets!
And to finish this special Fathers day article, and as I also mentioned in my mothers day article, these holidays are also the chance to spend time together, which is worth much more than any gift in the world. And yes dads are sensitive just like us women, Yes.. A walk in the forest, the movies, a brunch, a home-made lunch, or a beautiful bouquet of flowers will make them so happy, as for the most part they are very receptive to attention to detail (even if they don’t always show it)
Kisses and Happy fathers day!
