Toiletries/Aftershave/Bathroom
Care For Him
If you like
making little hampers for Daddy like we do in this home then these are perfect
fillers, or even great by themselves. I know when all else fails and I run out for gift ideas I head straight for the perfume or aftershave isle, you just can't go wrong.
Head & Shoulders Total Care 3in1 200ml - RRP $5.99
Developed
to remove the daily dirt and dust build-up on the hair and scalp through deep
cleaning, head & shoulders Total
Care 3in1 cleans, conditions and
protects the hair from dandruff allowing for easy styling and manageability.
A great cheap present or filler
that you just cannot go wrong with. Although I would be careful buying this for
some Daddie’s as they may take offence haha. I know when I first got some of
this sent to Mr. M for review I caught him in the bathroom scratching his head
to see if there were any white flakes fly and fall, low and behold there was!
He has not stopped using this since.
Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Pour Homme EDT 100ml Set-
$145
Acqua Di Gio
cologne for men, made by Giorgio Armani, was launched in 1995. This fragrance
for men contains a blend of marine notes, mandarin, bergamot, neroli,
persimmon, rosemary, nasturtium,jasmine, amber and patchouli. This mens
fragrance is a fresh and lifestyle concept with the coolness and transparency
of a tropical paradise.
If
there is on scent for Men that makes me almost weak at the knees it is this
one. It is so masculine, and just a full smell that lasts up until you have a
shower and wash your clothes. I think this will be one of the things the girls
buy their Daddy.
Man
Of Steel Eau de Toilette 100mL $19.99
The
fragrance suggests empowerment, masculinity and understated attraction. “Man of
Steel” is water- based, with heady notes of mandarin, bergamot and neroli, and
toned with rosemary, nasturtium, jasmine and sea notes and has base notes of
Moroccan cedar, sensual patchouli, white musk and amber.
To me this scent smells just like the one I have spoken about above,
which is a massive compliment for a budget Eau de Toilette. I would be more
then happy to buy this for either my dad or my partner, and I know they would
be happy to. My partner has previously reviewed this aftershave and it is safe
to say it has his tick of approval. One thing that threw me back a little is
how long this aftershave actually last. I sprayed it on my hand and it stayed
there for a decent amount of time, even after washing my hands.
Available
in BigW, Target, Woolworths and selected Pharmacies
Thalgo Shaving Gel 100ml RRP- $37.00
This
creamy gel optimises razor glide and rinses away easily while preserving skin
softness. It has a protective and purifying action, and minimises razor burn.
There will be a review of this coming in Daddie’s Corner, but I now just
from first impressions this will be a shaving cream my partner continue to buy
and use.
American Crew 3-IN-1 – RRP $32.95
Ideal
for the time-poor or lazy dads, this convenient all-in-one product is developed for everyday use and
incorporates shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the one bottle – it’s a no
brainer Father’s Day gift! Made with sage extract, 3-in-1 works to moisturise
and soothe the scalp whilst providing natural moisture to soften, detangle and
add shine to hair.
There
will also be a review of this to follow in Daddies Corner. But when first
opening this bottle I loved the masculine scent and will be much better then
him using my girly, pretty smelling shampoo. Plus he never uses Conditioner as
he just can’t be bothers, so this is great it does all that and more in one
bottle.
Clothing
and Shoes
You
can never go wrong with some item of clothing or pair of shoes when it comes to
men. They are usually pretty easy going and like to wear what you like on them,
but if they don’t then you see their style and what they like so much you
should know items they would love. So here is a compile of some things I know
my kids Dad or my Dad would like.
Havaianas
Sketch, grey $24.99
I don’t think there is a male out there that
doesn’t wear thongs in Summer. This is all both my Dad and my partner (the
girls dad) wears in the hotter weather, to be honest I don’t blame them. I love
my Havi’s and we are quite a Havaianas Family here.
There are so many nice new styles out at the
moment but these would have to be my favourite for Mr. M, so much so I will be
buying these for his giant feet.
Milu-
Curtis Boot RRP $169.00
A classic chukka boot is every man’s must-have. Dress it up with a suit
for the office, and keep it working after hours with jeans. Lacing adds a fun
pop sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Mr.
M (the kids dad) does not own a pair of boots and I think he would really suit
them and look very sophisticated in them, especially these. I know personally I
never wore boots until being sent them earlier in the year, and now in Winter
you seriously cannot get them off my feet. I think it is a leap Mr. M is yet to
take, but if I have any say in it he will J
Lu Smith Street Shirt-
$59.00
What
man doesn’t love a good shirt, (especially one that fits just right). Smith
Street has just launched a new collection of stylish shirts your dad will love.
You can’t go wrong with plaid or check– pair either with jeans for Sunday
casual or dress it up with a blazer and suit pants for business ready. Choose
from bold colours or more classic combinations. Smith Street Shirts are
available in sizes S to 3XL.
Again, another shirt I just could not go past. This is
very much in my price range when it comes to Father’s Day shopping and one I
will be considering. Plus you can do your Father’s Day shopping from the
comfort of your home with this one ;P Too easy!!
mberjack
Twill L/S Shirt
Calico
Canvas
Superdry
Lumberjack Twill Shirt RRP $129.95
Superdry
men's Lumberjack shirt in 100% cotton twill. The classic check lumberjack
shirt. This shirt features twin chest pockets, back logo stud and Superdry
pocket logo patch.
My
Mr. M loves his checkered shirts and I really do love them on him also. I think
this would make a great gift for a lot of fathers out there from young Dad’s to
your older fashionable ones.
Jack
London Black Suit RRP- $508 (in a bundle.)
Black Mod
Suit Jacket. Wool. Notched 'mod' lapel, chest pocket, two flap pockets, four
button cuffs, single back vent, fully lined. Single button closure
Black Suit
Pant. Wool. Slanted side pockets, double-jet back pockets, belt loops. Button
closure with hook & bar, zip fly. 100% wool
No Daddy should go without a nice good quality
suit, and that is exactly what you will get from Jack London. I know this is a
little too pricey for me and our Dad will not be getting one of these
unfortunately, but I am sure there will be Mummies out there on the lookout for
a nice suit on Father’s Day.
Electrical/
Home & Other
Some great
products that your Dad will be sure to love and use often. A couple of these
are high up on my shopping list for the Daddie’s in my life. I have my Dad, my
step-dad and also my partner who is a Daddy to buy for this year. So for me it
can be a very expensive day of the year haha. But I have popped a couple of
items then should be good for different budgets.
Lavazza
A Modo Mio Premium Milk by Electrolux Coffee Machine – RRP $299.00
The
A Modo Mio coffee machines and capsules are available from the following
retailers: Myer, David Jones, Harvey Norman, Matchbox, Beyya Home Living, The
Good Guys, JB HiFi.
Why
wouldn’t you be sneaky and buy this bad boy, then you can also use it when you
need a coffee fix.. Or you might even be able to persuade the hubby to make you
one with his new toy :-P But in all seriousness I know there are some real
coffee loving men out there that would love this in the kitchen. If I don’t get
this for Fathers Day then I know I
certainly will work on getting it down the track.
DéLonghi PrimaDonna XS
fully-automatic coffee machine RRP $1999.00
The
most discerning coffee lover can replicate the café experience at home with the
latest offering by DéLonghi; the fully automatic, slimline PrimaDonna XS.
Revolutionising the at-home coffee experience, the completely redesigned
internal frame of the PrimaDonna XS from DéLonghi, and resulting compact build,
makes it one of the most kitchen-friendly products from the leading coffee
machine brand, yet. At just 19.5cm wide, it is the perfect coffee machine for snug
city apartments and small kitchens!
Now
this is for those serious coffee lovers, and them Mum’s and daughters that have
the coin to spend. I wish I could buy this for my partner (and maybe me haha.)
But I thought I would pop in a low budget coffee machine and also a more upper
market coffee machine, which I am just in love with.
JBL Charge- RRP: $199.99
Along
with phenomenal audio playback for a speaker of its size, the JBL Charge lets
you recharge external devices such as your iPhone on-the-go, making the JBL
Charge the ultimate portable speaker for outdoor entertaining and active
lifestyles.
Stockists:
Apple, JB Hi-FI, Harvey Norman and David Jones.
Now
my partner is a battery killer when it comes to his beloved iPhone. When he
goes out he is a stress head worrying that his phone is going to die and a lot
of the time it does before he can call for a lift home (which is good for me
haha.) He loves his music, he loves his iPhone so I think this would have to be
a match made in heaven!!!
Edge
of Belgravia Ceramic Onyx Santoku Knife RRP: $88.00
The Ceramic
Onyx Santoku comprises a santoku style blade, famous for its "three
virtues": slicing, dicing and mincing. The ceramic blade stays sharp for
years without need for sharpening. Expertly engineered for slicing fresh fish
or chopping crispy vegetables, the Onyx Santoku is a lightweight, razor-sharp
knife designed to improve separation and reduce cutting friction.
I
was debating whether or not I would pop this in here, then I decided for. It
got me thinking and getting creative with my gifts, because I didn’t think too
much into it before this. I thought if I bought this, then it may just
encourage him to get more into cooking and take over a little in the kitchen J Or I could
end up with a new knife so it is a win-win situation.
Glen
Grant 10 YO Scotch Whisky RRP: $59.95.
Now what would a Gift guide be without including
some alcohol in there? I don’t really like putting alcohol and my Dad in the
one sentence as my dad has quite a problem with alcohol and would NEVER buy it
for him! But on the other hand my partner loves a good drop of alcohol and is
very responsible with his drinking. I know this would be enough to make a lot
of Dad’s happy !
