Crabtree & Evelyn Mens Collection Gift Set, Approx USD70.
If good ol’ pops enjoys a tad bit of regular luxurious grooming then Crabtree & Evelyn’s mens collection is the safest bet. The gift set contains cologne, hair and body wash and a triple milled soap and you may pick from Sandalwood, to Myrrh to West Indian Lime notes – whichever suits his elegant nose. Our favourite has to the subtle and refreshing West Indian Lime.

For the well-groomed dad:
Ferrari Cedar Essence, Approx USD113
Since it would cost a bomb to get your father a Ferrari car (the dream though), why not get him the next best thing? The Ferrari Cedar Essence that is inspired by the mythic “Blu Tour de France” Ferrari Gran Turismo (GT) car colour and gives off intoxicating notes of Cedar, orange, lime and peppemint with lingering woody base notes like patchouli. You may give him a hug after!

For the sartorial dad:
Then we have the dads who put Fashion Police out of business for lack of snarky comments. The dads who know more about the different suits than the tailor themselves and for him, we suggest getting some very wearable threads in streamlined silhouettes from Singaporean label, Coupe Cousu.

For the sartorial dad:
Tateossian Rhodium Tourbillon Mechanical cufflinks , USD321
Nothing speaks greater of a well-dressed man than a pair of stunning cufflinks adorning his wrists. And if he’s into anything mechanical, the Tateossian Rhodium Tourbillon Mechanical cufflinks are bound to impress with the visible gears gracing the surface.

Laser Projection Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard, USD99
Your dad loves to have his finger on top of everything new - gadget wise - and he relishes in showing off his new toys to his best buds. If that were the case then a virtual keyboard would do all that and so much more. This tiny device projects a keyboard onto any flat, opaque surface and you can easily type away with actual key sounds – additionally it saves space while travelling and the wife will be reeling just from seeing the reduced clutter

For the tech-savvy dad:
Marshall Headphones, USD135
We’re pretty sure at times dad just needs a breather or rather a noise-cancelling device at home and let’s give him that little pleasure alright? Instead of flashy over the top headphones, opt for one that is minimalist in design, yet speaks volume for masculinity – the Marshall headphones are in the bag for sure.

For the foodie/ drink connoisseur:
Fried & True Cookbook, USD18
Which foodie dad wouldn’t love a piping hot plate of fried chicken on their dinner tables, or any table really? If he’s the chicken lovin’ guy then get him this fried goodness of a cookbook and the family can look forward to some delicious night ins with a thrilling movie to accompany the food. Yum!
8/10
For the foodie/ drink connoisseur:
Chillsner, USD29.95

We love our beer cold and so do our dads but instead of rushing to finish the last sip before it turns warm, let’s give our dads the joy of savouring glorious cold beer to the very last sip. His life will become a beer heaven for him right there and then and trust us; he will be thanking you for this.
