Father’s Day is simply across the nook (Sunday June 18th, to avoid wasting you having to Google!) and this yr Boots are celebrating all of the various kinds of dads and father figures with their Love for All Dads marketing campaign.
They’ve an enormous choice of Father’s Day Gifts obtainable on-line at boots.com and to point out you a number of the big selection (and give you a little bit of gifting inspo) I assumed that I’d select presents for a number of the most well-known fathers the world has ever identified:
Father Time, The Godfather and… Father Christmas.
Don’t say I by no means offer you something. Right here goes.
Father Time
I’ll admit I knew little or no about Father Time; I needed to do some in-depth analysis on him earlier than deciding on an applicable reward. I learn that he was typically depicted as an aged bearded man and in order that did throw up a little bit of a quandary: who would respect a beard-trimmer extra? Christmas or Time? Then I discovered that Father Time generally had wings and I assumed that maybe one thing to clean his feathers is likely to be a superb shout; he additionally carries a scythe – bit delinquent – and so I puzzled whether or not a little bit of vibrant hair dye, perhaps pink, would possibly make him look much less menacing and a bit extra approachable.
However no. I didn’t wish to get too carried away together with his Father’s Day current and select one thing he’d then must return. Even when he does have all the time on the planet, he doesn’t wish to waste it traipsing backwards and forwards to the submit workplace with all the undesirable issues I’ve gifted him. The packets of pink hair dye or – and this was my different concept – the cross-body bag wherein to soundly carry the hourglass and clock he has to cart about with him – must be relegated to the rejects pile.
In the long run I picked out one thing I knew he’d respect – anybody who’s been alive for greater than twenty years would welcome this onto their toilet shelf and he’s been alive for, properly, eternally. It’s No7 Men Protect and Perfect Advanced Serum, designed to focus on deep traces and wrinkles. No7 serums are famend for delivering anti-ageing outcomes and this one is not any totally different. Slides on rapidly and simply beneath any moisturiser or sunscreen, it’s the final word no-fuss big-results addition to any skincare routine. For those who can persuade him to have one… it’s £24.95 at Boots.
The Godfather
Do you know that Boots have a complete choice of actions and experiences to purchase as items? All the pieces from supercar driving to aeroplane classes, helicopter rides to clay pigeon taking pictures. No person of their proper thoughts would belief Don Corleone with an precise gun, so Clay Pigeon taking pictures was out, however I assumed that maybe Paintballing can be an acceptable (and protected) different. The Godfather and three of his mates can select a handy paintballing location after which fireplace at one another to their hearts’ content material, realizing that they’re not going to begin a New York mob struggle.
I believe that there’s an expertise reward for nearly each kind of pop, on the Boots web site. It’s an absolute superstore of actions. So you possibly can be good, and get one thing that the recipient will really like (a soothing afternoon tea, maybe, if that’s their jam), or you possibly can actually sew them up and purchase them an expertise match for under essentially the most excessive adrenaline junkie. The selection is yours.
Paintballing for four is £20 at Boots.com
Father Christmas
I don’t assume anybody would have purchased Father Christmas a beard trimmer earlier than. It’s a bit presumptuous, isn’t it? Everyone knows he likes to maintain it lengthy and fluffy over the vacation interval. However – aha! What concerning the occasions in-between? Do you actually assume he needs to cart round that monstrosity twelve months a yr?
Step ahead the Philips Series 9000 Prestige Beard Trimmer with Steel Precision Technology and BeardAdapt Sensor. Now look: that is no bizarre beard trimmer. It’s just like the Rolls Royce of beard trimmers. Glossy, steel-bodied, expensively weighty within the hand. Simply sliding it from its carry case is a sensorial expertise, actually gratifying, even for me and I don’t have a beard. A lot.
That is what Santa wants from December twenty sixth till the Autumn. To trim all of it off. He’ll discover that his beard, come the next Christmas, can be much more shapely and fluffy because of his annual shearing.
However this isn’t a trimmer reserved completely for Father Christmas: mere mortals can also witness the trendy prowess of the 9000 Status. It’s £109.99 at Boots – one for all the boys who’ve been very, superb.
(And when you’re searching for one thing aside from a shaver, this Gifts for Him web page has all of the choices in a single place, from skincare to aftershaves and extra.)
In order that’s the three most well-known fathers catered for. However what about all the different dads? The place to begin?
Nicely truthfully, I’ve exhausted myself with all of this considering however I’ll offer you a bonus advice for all the fashionable fathers on the market: Gucci Responsible Pour Homme. Particularly the Eau de Parfum.
The Parfum is so modern and attractive. The bottle is a little bit of a showstopper – it has a particular “if Batman wore scent” vibe – and the perfume itself is heat, woody and manageably unique. It’s a crowd-pleaser however in a massively refined means – and who doesn’t need one thing a bit luxurious and trendy from the Home of Gucci? Daddy, Daddy Cool.
Gucci Guilty Pour Homme Parfum is £83.30 at Boots.
And when you’re nonetheless caught for concepts then take a look at this Gifts for Dad information for extra inspiration.
Costs are appropriate at time of writing and whereas shares final.
Proper, I’m going to cease there. There’s an actual danger that a few of my reward concepts would possibly backfire on me. I wish to state this proper now: I can’t be held completely accountable if Santa turns up clean-shaven for Christmas 2023…
