Whether he’s a mechanic, a tech junkie or a big softie, your dad deserves to be spoiled this Father’s Day. Think about all the nuggets of advice, pats on the back and insanely good dad-jokes you’ve experienced in your life – dads really show up when you least expect them to. And they often come with mountains of surprises!
A SOOTHING TREATMENT
With age, skin naturally becomes thinner, drier and prone to sensitivity. This soothing face mask will instantly moisturise and give a refreshing boost to skin. The creamy formula reduces redness and will replenish skin after just 10 minutes.

MASCULINE NOTES
Aftershave is usually a must-have grooming product, especially for men with skin that’s prone to razor burn. Yardley’s long-lasting aftershave is enriched with vitamin E and smells great! It’s fast-acting and won’t leave a sticky residue, and is mucho protective of freshly shaven skin.

EXTREME HYDRATION
It’s a running joke that dad’s are simple when it comes to shower products, often choosing the 4-in-1 option. Even though Clarins’ super moisture balm, shampoo and shower gel and face wash aren’t combined into one bottle, the three essentials will put a smile on his face. The trio rejuvenates the skin through a blend of super-hydrating organic houseleek and leaf of life extracts. Enough to convince any dad to forget the ‘instant’ products he was using before.

WOODY & AROMATIC
Your old pal won’t mind this new addition to his space. The stylishly packaged fragranced candle helps set the mood for a relaxing evening after a hard day at work. It’s an intimate gift, and choosing the fragrance that your dad will enjoy most shows that you take interest in what he likes and dislikes. This one’s natural scent conjures the great outdoors.

FOR THE CARING GENTLEMAN
This new woody-meets-spicy fragrance has welcoming powdery notes of iris, with hints of nutmeg adding a glow of warmth, amplified by sandalwood and patchouli notes. Poetry aside, it really is quite inviting! This ‘hug in a bottle’ is perfect for winter and makes a cool Father’s Day gift – your dad will want to wear it every day.

HATS OFF TO DAD
If you need a grab-and-go, practical kind of present, this one’s perfect. Made from a long-lasting and shape-retaining acrylic knit, North Face’s classic beanie is comfortably soft and breathable, and will keep your dad warm for many cold seasons to come. (It’s also a great accessory for when he’s having a bad hair day.)

TIME OUT
What screams ‘Father’s Day’ more than socks? Cosy, funky socks. Nike’s everyday socks are quite special – the thick terry sole offers extra comfort and impact absorption, while Dri-Fit technology will keep dad’s feet dry throughout the day. They also feature ribbed arch bands for support.

A SNEAKER LOVER’S DREAM
The ritual of keeping a pair of sneakers clean is a major part of being a sneakerhead. If your dad is major collector of quality kicks, then he’ll love this nifty sneaker protector. Manufactured with a water-based solution, this cleaning formula absorbs quickly into shoe fabrics to form a lasting invisible barrier against dirt. It’ll keep his footwear looking fresh, and he’ll fit the ‘Cool Dad’ brief to a T.
