Father's Day

It’s Father’s Day this Sunday.Time to spoil your dad – make him breakfast maybe, take him out for dinner, or buy him something to make him smell nice, or to pamper himself with. Here are a few of my favourite Father’s Day bits and bobs, starting with this brilliant Happy Father’s Day Lush Gift Set (£12.95, lush.co.uk) which contains three brilliant pampering products, and a postcard your dad can make a paper aeroplane out of. (Men are boys all their life you know!).

The set contains a big chunk of Sea Vegetable Soap, a Big Blue Bath Ballistic and a bottle of Dirty Springwash shower gel.

If it’s a fragrance-based gift set you are after for your dad, then how about a classic, like Aramis? Its been around since 1964, and is as classic a ‘dad’ fragrance as you can get. With notes of bergamot, citrus, patchouli, sage, sandalwood and leather, dad will love it. The gift set contains 100ml Aramis Aftershave, a 24hr anti-perspirant, all packaged in a stylish gold box (£40, houseoffraser.co.uk)

Japanese skincare brand Kyoku is just the thing to keep Dad’s skin in tip-top condition. Choose from three of the best products, or give him the trio – spoil him. They are Sake Infused Shave Creme (£25), Razor Repair Balm (£29) and Facial Moisturiser SPF15 (£43) Available at Boots.

And if your dad likes Superdry clothes, then how about treating him to one of their fragrances as well? There are three from the Dry Collection to choose from – Dry by Superdry, DoubleDry by Superdry and Dry Oil by Superdry (£55, superdry.co.uk, houseoffraser.co.uk). The packaging is really smart, don’t you think?

Each fragrance is very different – ones rich and woody, one is more citrus-based, and the third is sweeter, with vanilla notes. Choose carefully for your dad!

Finally, how about introducing your dad to the brilliant Jack Black brand. There are gifts for every type of dad in this collection. I love the Jack Black Balm Squad Lip Quad (£19.95) – four different lip balms in two best-selling flavours, Natrual Mint & Shea Butter, and Lemon & Chamomile, and two limited edition balms – Mandarin & Mango and Shea Butter & Vitamin E. Or try the Turbo Wash Energizing Hair & Body Cleanser (£16.95), or the Double Duty Facial Moisturiser (£28). Dads have got to start looking after their skin! Available at Boots
