L'Occitane, Sephora
You recently got the perfect Mother’s Day gift, but now’s the time to start thinking about dad. With Father’s Day just around the corner – it’s happening on June 20–and knowing how dads don’t let go of their stuff easily, it can be hard to find the one item that will actually make a difference. That’s why we compiled a list of gifts that is inclusive of all dads, whether yours is a scotch-enthusiast, an avid hiker, a techie type or a designer dad.
"Daddy" Embroidered Hoodie in grey, Charlotte Cardin
Leave it to Canadian singer-songwriter Charlotte Cardin to come up with merch that is just as cool and effortless as her sound. This limited edition “Daddy” heavy fleece pullover sweat is kind of the best way to tell dad that he’s your #1. So, who’s your daddy?
$120
Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum, Tom Ford
Upgrade dad’s signature scent with Tom Ford’s warm and spicy Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum. With notes of tobacco leaf, creamy tonka bean, vanilla, cocoa, and sweet wood, this fragrance is modern and opulent and was made for the highest of the highbrows.
