Fathers are in the spotlight this month

After briefly considering making an exact copy of that famous present your father exclaimed over when you were only five, you have finally settled on something wiser and rather more grown-up: a practical, or even unusual, gift to mark Father’s Day properly.

Here is a selection for fathers, to help you make up your mind:

Fathers who smoke

Cigarettes, shishas, cigars, pipes, e-cigarettes: there is an accessory for every habit.

For cigarettes, you will find lighters with a plain, understated design. If your father is a keen collector, a Zippo lighter with its matching leather pouch may suit him better.
For a smaller budget, look at cigarette boxes. With a Star Wars design, you may well get to hear “I am your father” along with the thanks.

Shaped like a pineapple, with changing lights or with a protective cover, shishas and hookahs come in many versions. Black, blue, red: the choice is yours.

For cigar smokers, the range of gifts is wide: a desk or travel humidor, Havana Club ashtrays available in five colours, a cigar cutter, cases, and also a cabinet that holds up to 120 cigars.

If you like giving gift sets, there are sets for those who use e-cigarettes and pipes.

Watches

Your father likes to show off his wrist, except that the watch he owns is no longer in fashion. Give him the chance to prove that he has taste in accessories.
Two ranges are available: “sport and leisure” watches, or the “professions” Akteo watches. All of them come with a smart, plain strap.

Pens

Ballpoint or fountain pen, awaken the writer sleeping inside your father.
Signing contracts, shopping lists, crosswords: there will be plenty of occasions to bring out your gift with pride.

Happy Father’s Day to all fathers!
