last minute father’s day gifts

September 4, 2009

If you’re anything like me, you probably still haven’t bought your father (or husband) a gift for Sunday. So, if you’re planning to race out the door in your lunch break, or sometime tomorrow, here are a few ideas to help you choose quickly.

1. Save his skin

We can’t quite turn him into the dishy Patrick Dempsey, but we can help his skin. Suited to those men who have sensitive skin and get reactions from shaving, the new L’Oreal Paris Men Expert Hydra Sensitive range is free from irritants like soap, alcohol and colorants. There are six products in the range: a cleanser ($16.99), shaving foam, shaving gel (both $14.99), after shave balm ($16.99) and after shave cream ($21.99).

The Nivea Post Shave products are popular with men and women and are a steal at just $13.99 each. Could be good with a box of scorched almonds.

2. Electrify his routine

A good old Remington electric razor will sharpen his morning act. The Remington Titanium 360 ($150) comes with a cord or cordless operation. It’s got titanium coated shades with a 360 degree flex and pivot head - giving a closer shave over those tricky facial contours. It takes 90 minutes to charge completely and works cordless for 30 minutes. For a quick recharge - just pop it down for 5 minutes. Other features include worldwide voltage,  storage pouch, cleaning brush, 30 day money back guarantee and 2 year warranty.

3. Keep it brief

You can never go past a new pair of boxers - Barkers have a 3 pack for $59.95 whereas at KMart you can rifle through and find a nice checked pair for $15.

4. Chur Chair

It’s nearly summer, he’s probably broken the old one - so give him a foldable, comfy, outdoor chair so he can sit next to the barbie and keep an eye on the charring while having a beer.

Citta, Chair in a Bag $54

5. Proud pix

Or you could do what I’m going to attempt to do for my hubbie - print photos and put them in a frame. I’m fond of the ones at Nest and I’m going to get a four photo frame $140 and fill it with pictures of our baby girl.

Enjoy Sunday,
