BellaSugar's Guide to Father's Day Gifts

BellaSugar — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 07:00:13 -0700

Father's Day is one of those times when I like to get a little bit mushier than usual with my dad. It's so easy to pick up a sappy card, write down all of your feelings, and give him a great big bear hug like you used to when you were little.

Since Dad happens to also be a guy, I find it works best to balance out the sweet card with an indulgent (and not-so-serious) grooming gift like cologne, a handmade aftershave, or a new soap. I've included my picks for pop below along with your awesome Father's Day finds. Happy shopping!

The classic dad is part handyman, part rugged, slightly techy, and maybe even a little bit preppy. He's the kind of guy who doesn't fuss much with products, but the ones he does use are time-honored and he's very brand loyal. Pops definitely likes to look good, but he's equally as interested in the beauty of the outdoors and maintaining beauty from within. Here are my top picks for the tasteful, traditional dad.

Don't forget that this coming Sunday is Father's Day. You guys are doing a nice job of coming up with innovative gift ideas on your own - but for the rest of you who are struggling to find a great grooming-related gift for your dad, brother step-dad, uncle, boyfriend, friend or grandpa, I'll be bringing you different themed ideas all week long.

Personally, I always find it challenging to find something thoughtful, meaningful and practical for guys, especially the rugged, sporty type. Below are some ideas that aren't overly indulgent or fragrant (minus the actual fragrances I've suggested) beauty-related products for men - enjoy.

Beauty Mark It Results: Great Gifts For Dad

You should know by now that Sunday is Father's Day, and with your help we've been able to organize all of your great gift ideas. Today we covered the sporty dad, and we'll be bringing you more guides (for each type of dad) all week. Last week we enlisted your help to find out what you were going to be gifting your father.

TeamSugar member brittanyk found a fantastic gift in the Sephora Scent Sampler for Him. I love this particular set because it allows your pop to sample eight different colognes, from Kenneth Cole to Yves Saint Laurent. Then, after your dad picks his favorite, he can bring in the included voucher to choose the full-size bottle of his selected scent. The best part is that the set also includes a shaving cream from Anthony Logistics.
