Welcome to the first installment of our 2009 Father's Day Gift Guide. We've compiled a short list of the best gifts out there to help Dad look his best all year.
We've chosen some fairly standard Father's Day gifts - neckties, a watch, a wallet, etc. - and are bringing you some of the most original and high quality products we could find.
Don't miss our picks for the Dad who loves gadgets!
Brooklyn-based designers Will Beck and Ryan Sovereign bring unique style to the realm of neckwear. Each necktie design is an original and is limited in production to under 90 pieces. The two Rhode Island School of Design graduates create wool, silk and cotton neckwear that is understated yet edgy. If you're going to buy a tie for Father's Day, make it a Sovereign Beck design.
Moosejaw has the perfect shirt for the active dad, and it's not your average polo: the Men's Motive Polo SS Shirt by Arcteryx. This handsome collared shirt is made from a DryTech fabric that wicks moisture, so it's comfortable indoors and outdoors. The Men's Motive Polo comes in five colors: Everglade, Bluebird (pictured), Woodsmoke, Copper and Dried MS.
It's no surprise our President favors his Jorg Gray 6500 timepiece. The 6500's classic sophistication and dignified design makes it the perfect choice for dads everywhere this Father's Day. The watch features a matte black dial, an Italian buffalo leather strap, Japanese chronograph movement, scratch-resistant mineral crystal and water resistance up to 100 meters.
ThinkGeek's unusual take on an otherwise utilitarian wallet is anything but geeky. In fact, the Stainless Steel Wallet is probably a lot cooler than what Dad is carrying around now. This bi-fold wallet is made from finely woven microfibers of stainless steel and comes in two formats: 1) four card slots, one money pocket and one clear ID window, or 2) criss-cross card slots.
Is Dad's grooming routine a little stale? Give him Wahl's Lithium Ion Complete Grooming Kit - the world's first using the innovative lithium ion technology. It runs up to three times as long and has double the torque of other groomers. It also features a 1-minute quick charge, which is great for guys on the go or for traveling. The grooming kit only takes an hour to achieve a full charge, and when in use, it offers a smooth shave and precision trimming.
If Dad travels a lot for business or is planning a relaxing getaway, the Overnighter is a masculine and functional bag suitable for short trips. The Overnighter is made with orange and olive water-resistant heavy duty polyester trimmed and accented with genuine leather. The interior is lined with men's shirting fabric and has three compartments.
Give Dad the gift of green grooming with Pangea Organics' manly bar soaps. Each 3.75-ounce bar is boxed up in plantable packaging. That's right - after he opens up his soap, he can plant seeds outside! Canadian Pine with White Sage's masculine fragrance offers purification for the body and grounding for the mind.
Ole Henriksen designed this kit exclusively for a man's skin care needs. All formulas are suitable for every skin type and are easy to use on a daily basis. The Men's Kit contains Natural Hair Wash, On The Go Cleanser, Sheer Transformation and Walnut Complexion Scrub. The hair wash contains cleansing and moisturizing sea kelp, kukui nut, awapuhi and orchid extracts. The cleanser uses vitamin C to stimulate collagen synthesis and fight environmental damage. Sheer Transformation is great for anti-aging and hyper pigmentation, and the scrub is soothing for skin with aloe vera gel and chamomile.
