8 Useful Gifts Your Dad Will Want

May 30, 2016 · Fashion, Holidays, Home Décor, Menswear

I’m sure you are all thinking of what to get your precious daddy in celebration of Father’s Day. For me, useful gifts are always great for dads as they tend to like more practical things. Last year I wrote a post with ton of useful gifts for dad. While there is a list as long as Santa’s of useful gifts for dads, I’m honing on a few that I particularly like and find quite useful for any dad out there.

8 useful gifts for Father's Day - Pin

Make sure you enter my Father’s Day gift giveaway courtesy of Sir Wylde. It contains a beautiful blue floral print tie with a handkerchief that can double as a pocket square. Best of all, it’s all made in the USA!

Useful Gifts for Dads

#1 – Tie & Accessories Subscription

Give the gift that completes his look, month after month. Dads deserve to look stylish too!

How can you help the special man in your life dress for success? The Tie Fix is a subscription tie and accessories box service that, for a monthly fee of $14.99 or a prepaid subscription of $149.99 per year, will have your poppa looking sharp and stylish all year long. Each month, dad will receive a box containing:

two ties; and

two accessories, either :

  • socks

  • bracelets; or

  • cuff links

…that are hip, fashionable and professional. He’ll never have nothing to wear again!

#2 – Reversible Pocket Square

Pocket squares are such a hit that it’s a shame if your dad isn’t sporting one yet. Make no mistake, it is no longer just for the dressy men. This accessory can be paired with casual outfits just as much as with formal ones. With the wedding season here, your dad will likely need more than pocket square to wear.

What better of solving this problem than with the Reversible pocket square which has a unique fabric on each side. He can wear it on one side one day and the other on the next. This cool accessory was featured on Capital Hill Style on my cool long time friend Nic Richer Brûlé.

He can even have both sides showing too! It’s a versatile piece entirely handmade with repurposed fabric making is eco-friendly.

#3 – Fishing Shoes

Dad will love you for this. I know this because my husband has a pair of shoes from Soft Science that he adores. You can check out my review in this post.

SoftScience Fin fishing shoes

A sturdy lightweight lace-up water shoe with a self-draining system and a mesh upper, the Fin watermen’s shoe dries quickly. It’s superbly cushioned and stable, woven with a breathable microfibre upper. Ideal for fishing and boating enthusiasts, surfers and beachcombers, it holds its grip on slippery surfaces—in the water and out. It has a sturdy lace-up fishing shoe. It’s a relaxed fit that contains removable, washable Trileon™ insole, which is non-marking, and a slip-resistant outsole.

#4 – Wrinkle Releaser

This is a product I featured on  the blog last year. If your old man like to wear shirts or is still in the workforce and likes his dress shirts to be crisp without having to spend a fortune on dry cleaners, Cold Iron Mojito Wrinkle Releaser by Natural Citizen is definitely one of many useful gifts for him.

Mojito wrinkle releaser

This wrinkle releaser is made from plant-based ingredients and features natural fragrance that smells like a Mojito! Simply spray some on, smooth and hang, and wrinkles disappear from just about any garment in a matter of minutes.

#5 – Folding BBQ Multi Tool

This Restoration Hardware folding tool is a five-in-one essential for BBQs, picnics, tailgating and camping.

Folding BBQ multi-tool

The rugged stainless-steel marinade brush, spatula contains an embedded bottle opener, serrated knife and fork extend to full length. I’m sure your dad already has this tool in his useful gifts list.

#6 – 14-in-1 Hammer Tool

This Sheffield premium hammer tool is perfect for any of your handy needs around the house. While I might have to use Google Images to understand three quarters of the items it include, this highly useful gift is also great to bring along to camping, fishing, or hunting trips.

Sheffield 14 in 1 hammer tool

This multi-tool includes:

  • Hammer head
  • Nail claw
  • Linesman pliers
  • Regular pliers
  • 1/4″ slotted screwdriver
  • 1/8′ slotted screwdriver
  • #2 Phillips screwdriver
  • 2 1/2″ drop point blade
  • 2″ serrated blade
  • Can opener
  • Wire cutters
  • Wire stripper
  • Soft file
  • Key ring

#7 – 3-in-1 Bottle Opener and Sealer

Another useful gifts hit list item is the 3 in 1 Hermetus bottle opener and sealer.

3 in 1 bottle opener

Manufactured in Germany, this bottle opener and sealer opens pop-off and twist-off bottle caps, and features a soft plastic gasket on the underside capable of hermetically re-sealing bottles and maintaining critical CO2 levels. It’s perfect for bombers bottles.

#8 – iPhone 6 Case

The exquisitely crafted Graham iPhone 6 case is made from soft yet durable brown leather, which will patina over time, becoming a deep, rich saddle colour.

It also doubles as a wallet holding important cards and cash. Dad definitely has this item on his useful gifts list! Make it extra special and get it monogrammed in foil or blind-debossed for FREE!

Sir Wylde Giveaway

If you want your dad to look extra special, and get him a gift that he will enjoy, be sure to enter my Sir Wylde giveaway to receive this USA-made, 100% cotton floral print blue-toned tie and handkerchief/pocket square. Sir Wylde is growing in popularity and catching on with many men around the world. Make sure your dad is one of them!

    I confess, I am always stumped when it comes to our anniversary or his birthday, or Valentine’s Day, and yes, Father’s Day too. I never ever know what to get for my man because he is SO finicky and particular, plus it’s been 14 years so I’m running out of ideas. This year, I’ve given him a personalised book. Handmade leather slippers for wearing around the house. Flowers (I couldn’t find a local company that provided singing telegram services, damnit). And now I’m furiously pondering what to give him for that second Sunday of June. Insert grr face 🙂 xoxo

I’m borrowing this story from @jewishvoiceforpea I’m borrowing this story from @jewishvoiceforpeace Lucia Pizarro who worked for the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions in Jerusalem. Israel does not give building permits to Palestinians in East Jerusalem or in Area C of the West Bank (as part of ethnic cleansing strategies) and therefore demolished their homes. She forged deep connections with Palestinian families only to see their lives destroyed by the state of Israel. Then went back to her fancy neighborhood in West Jerusalem.

On Passover she celebrated that the Hebrews came out of slavery into freedom, telling the story as if it was her who was delivered from Egypt....but couldn't do it. She was a 10-minute walk away from East Jerusalem, where her friends were terrified that their home would be the next one to be destroyed.

She lived in Jerusalem with all the rights and privileges that her Palestinian friends didn't have. The Israeli state has imprisoned an entire people, and she was supposed to celebrate her own freedom inside of that same state.

A friend invited her to a Seder but she told him She couldn't do it unless Palestine was mentioned. With time, She created the kind of Seder She could live and share with others, discovering there were many who shared her same needs.

This Ramadan, please think of supporting Palestinian farmers by purchasing locally-sourced dates (not ones made in the illegal settlements), as are not only denied basic human rights, but their economic, physical and psychological states are in peril.

@hcicanada partnered with a local organization to source hand-picked dates from Palestinian farmers, to support them. 100% of the proceeds go towards aid programs in Palestine. You can get it delivered or pick up locally for free.

Spring is here and it’s a happy time for many, a Spring is here and it’s a happy time for many, a chance to get outside and enjoy time with others that we have t seen in a while due to lockdown measures and cold weather, limiting our interactions. For others however, it doesn’t make it any better. My prayers go out to the victims, families and friends of the Atlanta shooting. A tragedy that should not happen. Many Americans and Canadians of Asian descent have been facing racism, and the shooting was the latest and most heinous crime committed recently against Asian Americans. Stop racism in its tracks, stand and speak up against it.
