What­ever his sport of choice, there is a plethora of Father’s Day gifts for the dis­cern­ing man. Here is a list of cre­ative gifts that are sure to score!

Solum­bra. Boast­ing 100% UV pro­tec­tion and with a rapid-dry weave, the light­weight cloth­ing by Solum­bra is per­fect for golf­ing, camp­ing, run­ning, surfing–even yard work! These gar­ments are game-changers in the realm of sun pro­tec­tion! Buy one nice piece for Dad and he can put away the greasy sunscreen!

Rodan + Fields pep­tide eye wipes. Noth­ing could be more refresh­ing after a long day or a sweaty work­out. Packed with pep­tides, these eye cloths are per­fect for the trav­el­ing man and fit neatly in a gym bag or suit­case. Or, keep them in the refrig­er­a­tor for an extra cool­ing sen­sa­tion. Ideal for women as well. They remove eye makeup in a snap while treat­ing the eye area with a pow­er­house of anti-aging peptides!

The Klean Kan­teen. Water tastes bet­ter when housed in this 100% stain­less steel can­teen, but more impor­tantly, this water bot­tle does not have BPA, a chem­i­cal found in plas­tics that leeches into water and may cause can­cer! BPA has already been banned in Europe, and here in Amer­ica for baby bot­tles as well. This is a great and afford­able gift for Dad.

Tick­ets. Lastly, con­sider buy­ing him a cou­ple of tick­ets to his favorite sport­ing event. If you can afford it, throw in a pair of binoc­u­lars from the sport­ing goods store. He’ll love you for it!

There’s some­thing innately mas­cu­line about the look and feel and smell of leather. And there are so many hand­some leather acces­sories that you can gift on Father’s Day, at all price points. A belt or wal­let is always wel­come. Check out these other sump­tu­ous leather goods that will make Dad swoon.

Ghurka Satchel No. 17, Vin­tage Chest­nut Leather Brief­case, $1,295

Ghurka makes some of the finest, most styl­ish leather acces­sories avail­able. I have this exact bag myself; it’s per­fect for my lap­top. This satchel has seen me through col­lege and aes­theti­cian school, as well as many jobs and lots of travel. You can wear it cross­body with the accom­pa­ny­ing padded shoul­der strap below, or carry it by its handles.

When you invest in a Ghurka, you are buy­ing an heirloom-quality piece. A bag like this will last you a life­time, and as the leather ages, it just becomes more and more beau­ti­ful. Each and every scuff and scratch sim­ply give it more character.

Fash­ion leg­end Coco Chanel said, “The best things in life are free. The sec­ond best are very expen­sive.” And Ghurka is expen­sive, yes, but it’s also worth every cent.

Ghurka Mag­netic Money Clip, No. 134, $145

For the man who prefers dis­creet cash-only trans­ac­tions, this mag­netic money clip fits the bill, lit­er­ally. The minimalist’s solu­tion to an over­stuffed wal­let. A per­fect Ghurka gift for Dad.

Ralph Lau­ren also makes excep­tional leather goods. The sophis­ti­cated exec­u­tive would most cer­tainly appre­ci­ate taste­ful desk acces­sories, such as the alligator-embossed leather pen­cil cup above, $95, or a pair of Ralph Lau­ren book­ends, $295, below, for his library.

Lastly, you can always buy a beau­ti­ful leather frame for his desk or a wal­let with a pic­ture of you inside. Remem­ber though, you don’t have to spend a for­tune on qual­ity leather goods. I urge you to check eBay and dis­count stores, such as TJ Maxx, for lux­ury gifts that are also afford­able. The last thing Dad wants is for you to max out your credit card for him. The truest gifts come from the ♥!

There’s some­thing charm­ingly androg­y­nous about a girl bor­row­ing a man’s clothing–whether you sleep in his Hanes t-shirt, wear your boyfriend’s per­fectly dis­tressed jeans, or bor­row Dad’s leather jacket. Here’s a col­lec­tion of Father’s Day gifts that are wear­able and shareable!

Old School

A vin­tage t-shirt of his favorite band or a sweat­shirt with his favorite sports team is a hip, inex­pen­sive gift that will look great on you, too, like this Nir­vana tee $19.99, pic­tured above. What are you say­ing with such a gift? You’re telling him that you under­stand him, which is what every man ulti­mately wants.

Clas­sic

A men’s cardi­gan sweater is another guy gift you can both wear. If it fits him per­fectly, it will be per­fectly over­sized for you! Check out this cozy Façonnable beauty above, in hand­some navy from Nordstrom.

Or stick with a sporty yet lux­u­ri­ous cash­mere hoodie, above, by Marc Jacobs, also from Nordstrom.

Cool

A fine leather jacket–be it cou­ture or casual–will make Dad look like a mil­lion bucks, and you can wear it too! I’m absolutely obsessed with the Bal­main calf-hair biker jacket above left, $5,655 at Bergdorf Good­man, as well as the Fer­rari motor­cy­cle jacket, above right, $1,870, also at Bergdorf Good­man. Hot. But you need not spend a for­tune on a leather jacket. You can get a smokin’ deal on eBay, like the one below. It’s a Michael Kors bomber jacket, new with tags, which retails for $600 but is sell­ing on eBay for $375. Not bad.

Be sure to read the item descrip­tion very care­fully with regard to size, style and mate­ri­als. Make sure you check the seller’s return pol­icy. A great idea is to have Dad try on a leather jacket in the stores before order­ing a sim­i­lar brand or style online. Also remem­ber to review the seller’s rat­ings so you have a good idea as to their rep­u­ta­tion on eBay. This is very impor­tant. If you know how to shop, you can save big bucks on eBay, where someone’s loss is Dad’s gain.

Father’s Day is Sun­day, June 16, and some­times it seems dif­fi­cult to think of the per­fect present for your main man. Is this because Dad doesn’t have any excit­ing inter­ests? Or because he really doesn’t want any­thing at all? Chances are, it’s more likely that he just doesn’t artic­u­late his crav­ings as eas­ily as the female species, leav­ing the rest of us at a loss for ideas.

But all that’s going to change when you read about these cre­ative gifts for your Papi this Father’s Day. It’s the ulti­mate col­lec­tion of things guys desire. Today’s list of gifts are within the genre of tools, gad­gets and acces­sories, but we have tons more ideas on the way, so keep check­ing back as we count­down to Father’s Day!

Toys for Boys

Guys love tools, gad­gets and acces­sories, and the more unique and spe­cial­ized, the bet­ter. Of course power tools will always excite…anything that buzzes or grinds is cer­tain to please; but here are some fab­u­lous lit­tle morsels as well…toys for all kinds of boys!

Vic­tori­nox Swiss Army Knife ‘Climber’, $40. What man would not adore all the func­tions of a Swiss Army Knife? This one’s got a cap lifter, wire­strip­per, tooth­pick, reamer, corkscrew, scis­sors, can opener, tweez­ers, two dif­fer­ent sized screw­drivers and two blades all in one cool tool! He’ll love play­ing with it! Designed for the man who wants to carry it all with­out the bulk, the Climber has a life­time war­ranty, stain­less steel imple­ments and Swiss-made qual­ity and dura­bil­ity. It’s so dog­gone handy you’ll likely find your­self bor­row­ing it from him!

For the foodie: cook­ing gad­gets are an ideal gift, like this Rösle Dig­i­tal Instant Read Ther­mome­ter, $45. In stain­less steel fea­tur­ing an easy-to-read illu­mi­nated dig­i­tal dis­play that mea­sures in both Cel­sius and Fahren­heit, Rösle’s instant-read ther­mome­ter is a must-have for every­day cook­ing. It quickly checks roasts, deep-fry oil, infant food, even wine for serv­ing and water for mak­ing tea. Per­fect for out­door grilling, too!

Ah, Mont­blanc. Excuse me, but this is not a pen. It’s a writ­ing instru­ment. The fine crafts­man­ship of a Mont­blanc will set him apart from all the other chumps out there who are still sign­ing checks the unciv­i­lized way. You can opt for the Meis­ter­stück LeGrand in black resin above, $450, with gold-plated details–it’s a Mont­blanc clas­sic. Free engrav­ing makes it extra spe­cial. Or splurge on a lim­ited edi­tion, like the dia­mond– and sapphire-encrusted Boheme Papil­lon, below, val­ued at 180,000 Euros! Either way, Dad is sure to leave his mark with the utmost elegance.

Paloma’s Caliper money clip, $325, above left, and Paloma’s Caliper key ring, $250.

Paloma Picasso, youngest daugh­ter of artist Pablo Picasso, has cre­ated a money clip and match­ing key chain for the dis­cern­ing man. It is her and her husband’s pas­sion for clas­sic cars and rac­ing that is high­lighted in this clever col­lec­tion named for an essen­tial auto­mo­bile part: the caliper. Fash­ioned in stain­less steel and mid­night tita­nium, both are orig­i­nal designs copy­righted by Paloma Picasso for Tiffany & Co. Buy one or both; he’ll be delighted either way.

Four­se­v­ens makes the ulti­mate flash­lights for the man who wants to see every­thing clearly. These things come in remark­ably handy for all your late-night adven­tures. The Mini ML, above, is priced right at $39, and at just 2.3 inches, fits eas­ily on his keychain…or he can stash it in the car. But don’t let the com­pact size fool you–these lit­tle things are pow­er­ful! With three bright­ness lev­els, it’s a bright idea for the prac­ti­cal man.

Zippo lighters come in many dif­fer­ent mate­ri­als and themes, for every price point. Whether he prefers a clas­sic wind­proof lighter or a torch, he’ll absolutely light up when he unwraps this lit­tle gift. Boast­ing a life­time guar­an­tee, Zip­pos are eas­ily cus­tomized for a per­sonal touch.
