With Father’s Day falling on 16 June, you still have plenty of time to track down a gift or two for dad. Here at Gafencu, we know all too well that dads have a reputation of being a bit more difficult to shop for than mom, and so, we’ve made it easier for you with our father’s day gift guide.
Tassels
Known for being the quintessential male accessory, it’s hard to go wrong with a tie – especially if that tie comes from E.Marinella the 105-year old Italian necktie company from Naples, Italy. With over one-hundred years of craftsmanship going into these extraordinary handmade ties, dad will surely be delighted with the silk fabrics which are on offer in an assortment of unique and colourful designs. www.tassels.com.hk
Hydrogen
Those looking to impress their dad on Father’s Day would be well advised to check out luxury sportswear brand Hydrogen’s Hole In One golf collection. The range’s sporty, lightweight, breathable and wrinkle-resistant materials are said to ensure that pop’s swing is amply enhanced, while he remains reassuringly snug within a Hydrogen Golf Long-Sleeve top that comes contoured to his body shape. Fashioned from thermo-regulating fabric, this is the ideal greenwear for golf grandees. www.hydrogen.it
Salvatore Ferragamo
Guaranteed to give dad a modern and sophisticated look, especially when he goes in for the dinner cheque, is the bi-fold wallet courtesy of Salvatore Ferragamo. Made with hammered leather, the wallet is given a near three-dimensional look thanks to its thick grain. With a double compartment including document pockets and multiple card slots, this wallet won’t only help dad look good, it’ll keep him organized. www.ferragamo.com
Piaget

Hugo BOSS
Meanwhile, for the truly contemporary chap, why not seek out the BOSS BOTTLED Infinite from Boss, the ultimate German luxury brand. In addition to gifting any man the alluring aroma of sparkling mandarin, cinnamon and lavender, this rich scent also boasts notes of sandalwood, while blending harmoniously touch with the skin. As the first fragrance to benefit from diamond technology, dad can remain scentsational from the office, to the golf course and on even to when it’s time for bed. www.hugoboss.com
Montblanc
If dad is one to dismiss the more recent adage that the art of letter writing is past its day, you’ll be wise to check out German luxury brand Montblanc‘s Meisterstück Le Petit Prince Solitaire Doué Midsize Ballpoint Pen. The pen is not only a superb writing instrument but has also been designed to pay homage to the sweet story of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, a story which reminds its reader to consider life through the eyes of a child. A beautiful way, indeed, to show dad that he’s an inspiration, no matter your age. www.montblanc.com
