Family Corner : Father's Day Present Ideas

 By: Unknown    00:03  No comments

For today's family corner post, I'm focusing on Daddy - it's Father's Day on the 21st June - pencil that in everyone. Now I don't know what the case may be when it comes to your dads, but I find mine really difficult to buy presents for. I already think male-oriented gifts are much more limited than female-oriented ones, but then with dads, I mean, after a few years, you've pretty much used all the original ideas you could possibly ever have.

However, I spent some time scouting around a few sites and I did find a couple of things I thought were quite cool so here are a couple of ideas

1. Steam Cleaning Brush by Grill Daddy

Grill BBQs are usually the man's domain and that includes both cooking the meat and cleaning the bbq after - according to the specs, this brush makes it much easier and fun to do.

2. Baseball Caps

Most men love their baseball caps and generally since they don't subscribe to the rule 'buy 20 different things of everything' that women tend to, they shouldn't have too many. I love this Barbour cap and this Hugo Boss one.

3. Build Your Own Burger Book

A book that's all about mixing and matching different ingredients to create fantastic and original burgers. Many men I know would love this.

4. An Oversized Beer Mug

If the dad in question loves his beer, then this mug is a brilliant idea.

5. And for something extra special...

There are always some truly lovely items over at Mr Porter and I'm particularly fond of this Mulberry ipad sleeve , this Paul Smith pocket square and this J Crew messenger bag.

As you know, Friday is Family Corner time and today is bit special because I'm just become an auntie - yep it has been one eventful week - what with still ongoing birthday celebrations and waiting for the baby to arrive  - a lot has happened. It's a wonderful, baby girl and I'm looking forward to clad her in the pinkest, cutest items money can buy, possibly for the rest of her life :P.

With that in mind, all I can think of is baby items today so if you're not in the mood of looking at baby and kids stuff, I apologise :)

The brand FOSSIL has turned 30! That's 30 years of dressing people's hands with fun and innovative watches (check out all the different watch box tins in the pic above) along with their ever-expanding range of leather goods and jewellery. 

Malta was actually the FIRST country to celebrate the 30th anniversary and last Thursday at the beautiful Harbour Club Valletta I was invited to a lovely birthday party with delicious food, and spectacular views and of course birthday cake!!

And for a really fun concept - there was a photo booth - lots and lots of fun !!



And because this is that sort of birthday - we got pressies :D I'm in love with this wooden USB stick - talk about a marriage of my two passions I.T. and fashion
