Spa & Well-Being Giftybox

Pampering and spa treatments aren’t just for women. Your dad might like a spa gift for Father’s Day too. Giftybox allows you to give an experience gift. You choose a theme, then the recipient of your gift gets to choose the particular activity.

How it works is you order a theme for a set price, then your dad (or any recipient) receives a guidebook with all the options of that particular them. He picks the specific activity and location.

If you think your dad will enjoy a spa gift, head over to Giftybox.com. Right now they have a special offer — Buy one Spa for Men Giftybox and you’ll receive one free. Use the promo code: FATHERDAY09.

Cuff Links for Dad

They might be a cliche present, but I think cuff links are a great gift idea for dad (if he wears cuffed shirts, of course). You can get cuff links in every size, shape, color and price range imaginable. So you are sure to find something that he’ll like that will fit your budget. Here are a few pairs of cuff links that are available right now at Saks Fifth Avenue. Any of them will make a terrific Father’s Day gift.

Father’s Day Giveaway : 91X Rocawear Gold

Father’s Day is next week. She Knows Best is giving away 4 bottles of the Limited Edition 91X Rocawear Gold perfume. Each 3.4oz bottle is $65.

The fresh, woody, aromatic scent of 91X Rocawear Gold came from the infusion of mix of Asian Coriander, Mandarin Zest, and Living Cantaloupe with the spike Lavender, Geranium Leaf, and suede accord.

Stylish Accessories for Dad

Have you figured out what to get your dear ol’ dad for Father’s Day? Not yet? Well, you have a week to pick out the perfect gift (Father’s Day is on June 21st!).  Like us gals, he needs a few accessories to punch up his wardrobe and get him through the day.

Does he need a stylish way to carry around his laptop? This Fred Perry Special Edition Case ($168) is a fabulous bag to not only carry his laptop but to use for travel as well. It comes with a Fred Perry goldtone logo and appliquéd leaves and cool white piping details. There’s a double zip closure and removable shoulder strap to make carrying that much easier.

Give him a pair of fun cuff links! These David Donahue Sterling Silver Cuff Links ($150) feature skull and crossbones to give his otherwise prim and proper dress shirt an edge.

Or maybe he’d like a stylish necklace like this D&G Dolce&Gabbana Lines Chain Link Necklace ($125). This would make a great accent piece to a simple tee and jeans.

If his metro-sexual side needs a little guidance or if you want to hold your own mini What Not to Wear style intervention – get him this fun book! The Nordstrom Guide to Men’s Style ($20) is a handbook for dressing well. This helpful book will help him find his personal style and show him how to select the best fabrics, patterns, cuts and accessories. There’s even packing tricks for travel and stain removal tips.

All of the above can be purchase at Nordstrom stores and online. Make sure to get a sweet card too and don’t forget to tell Dad how much you love him.

Gifts For Dad – Free Bags From Macy’s

It’s almost D Day – Dad’s big day. Have you got your Father’s Day gift lined up yet?  I took a look at Macy’s to see what sort of special offers they’ve got going on. Apparently it’s the time of year for bags. Duffle bags, messenger bags, overnight bags, they have a gift with purchase for many different scents for men.

Here’s the Free DKNY Men’s Messenger Bag offer. Make a $50 purchase from the DKNY Men’s fragrance collection and qualify for the bag.

 The exact dimensions of the bag are not listed, but it appears fairly good-sized, possibly big enough to carry a laptop.

Other offers include bags with purchase of men’s fragrances from Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, ClarinsMen, Hilfiger, Boss Pure, Hugo Element, True Religion, and Curve. You can find those offers at Macys.com here.

One of a Kind Fingerprint Jewelry

Do you want a jewelry gift that’s really, really unique?

How about giving a fingerprint?

“Touch” jewelry by Womily allows you to capture a fingerprint and have it made into a piece of sterling silver or 18kt gold jewelry.

You can have a necklace, charm bracelet, charms, key chain or even cuff links created with a fingerprint.  Wouldn’t that make a great gift for a loved one?  How about a child’s fingerprint for Dad on Father’s Day?  I think it would make a charming engagement gift too.

You can either order a kit online to mold your finger or make an appointment to have it molded  in-store at Neiman Marcus.

Gifts For Dad: Giorgio Armani Gift Set

I haven’t decided what I’m getting my dad for Father’s Day yet. He is fairly particular and I usually play it safe with a Barnes and Noble Gift Card. Not this year.  So I’m still shopping around.

Here’s another Father’s Day gift idea for great-smelling dads…

Giorgio Armani – Your Scent Your Style Gift Set
$70.50, ships free from Sephora

Dads on the go will appreciate this set of three (3!) Giorgio Armani fragrances in super-portable 1 ounce bottles.

Included in the set; Acqua de Gio For Men Eau de Toilette Spray, Armani Code Eau de Toilette, and Emporio Armani Diamonds For Men Eau de Toilette Spray.

Stylish Wallets For Him

When was the last time your husband or Dad changed out his wallet? If he’s anything like the guys that I know, that would be…  5 years ago (or more!).  Unlike us gals who switch out bags and wallets with the changing seasons, most guys tend to keep their wallets until they’ve basically disintegrated.   Usually those poor wallets are packed to the brim with loose change, receipts, business cards and such. It’s a wonder those things even fit in their back pockets!

With Father’s Day coming up, it would be a good idea to give your dad or husband a new and stylish wallet to use for another five years…

D&G Dolce & Gabbana Bifold Wallet ($230 @ Saks Fifth Avenue) – Who says wallets have to be a boring black or brown?

Paul Smith Multistripe Leather Bifold Wallet ($210 @ Saks Fifth Avenue) – A fun striped wallet that’s sure to go with just about anything he wears.

Burberry Billfold w/ ID Window Wallet ($250 @ Nordstrom) – Sleek and chic with the classic Burberry check print.

Maybe a new wallet will get him to finally weed through and toss all of the unnecessary stuff in his current one. Oh and before your wrap it up, don’t forget to slip a little cash in there for good luck!

This classic polo looks great on just about anyone and the colour selection is fantastic.

Get him a new pair of flip flops to wear to the beach or pool side BBQ. Havaianas are available in a wide range of coulours and patterns so you’re sure to find one that suits his style.
