Who’s Your Daddy

Saturday, March 1st, 2008
Posted in Seasonal Features, Store Adore Blog

Even for the uninspired, jewelry and flowers are always a safe bet for Mother’s Day. But what about Dad? “More time with you,” my father says. “Anything but a necktie,” says a friend’s pops. But you know you have to do better, if not just to make up for that nose hair trimmer you get him last year—even if he really needed it. Store Adore’s suggestion for pinpointing the perfect Father’s Day gift is to consider the role he plays in your household and buy a gift to suit. A few of our ideas to get the creative juices flowing. For the dad who’s…

The Family Forest Ranger

Your dad’s idea of family bonding is to load up the camper for a week in the wilderness, complete with nature hikes and songs sun ’round the campfire. His s’mores will be so much tastier if they were flawlessly toasted—and if he could prep three at once. Get him this hand-held rotisserie ($25) from Wishingfish, our favorite online source for quirky yet thoughtful gifts. Now just don’t forget the bug repellant!

The Gourmet

While the other kids ate french fries, he fed you foie gras. Instead of pigs in a blanket, your family picked at pate. For the dad with the sophisticated palette, you can’t beat cheese from Artisanal. The webshop for the famed Manhattan restaurant is comes pretty close to a real cheese counter—minus the addictive scent. Choose from a variety of international and local artisan products (at a variety of price points) for delicacies like this Classic Grande Cheese Tin ($95) filled with five hand-selected half pound cheese, condiments, dried fruit, and crackers. It sure beats chicken fingers.

The Family Archivist

From soccer game to school dances, dad is constantly snapping pics. The attic is filled with boxes of family photos, but he’s gone digital of late. For the dad—and better yet, the grandpa—who loves to keep the memories alive, you can’t beat this digital brag book from Red Envelope, a no-brainer resource for gifts for every occasion. With room for up to 2000 and a 3 1/2″ LCD screen, he can stage on-the-spot slideshows at a moment’s notice.

The Primper

He spends more time in the bathroom than your younger sister. (Who knew that blow drying a balding head could take so long?) Hey, if dad appreciates a little pampering, then why not help him indulge? Made from botanical ingredients and delicious essential oils, luxurious products from The Art of Shaving have redefined what was once an everyday chore. Available for a variety of skin types and in scents like lemon and sandalwood, these starter kits ($38) come with everything he needs for a smooth shave.

The Sommelier

You may not be able to tell the difference between between a Riesling and a Chardonnay, but your dad can navigate a 3,000-bottle wine list like a pro. Indeed, his wine cellar seems to have taken over the living room. A membership to a wine club from Bottlenotes is sure to quench the thirst of this connoisseur. Sign him up for one of several clubs to fit his lifestyle, from the Kosher Wine Club to the Dinner Party Club (complete with food pairings) to the Seasonal Tastings Club (with the best current wines). After he answers a series of diagnostic questions to establish his flavor preferences, Bottlenotes will ship him the wines the company thinks suit him you best. Order just two bottles or a case of 12, and let him change up his choices as his tastes evolve. Just make sure there’s a pairing for mom’s meatloaf.

The Chef de Cuisine

Sunday brunch may be his specialty, but why not give him the morning off from the waffle iron? From world famous gourmet grocery store Zabar’s, the Don’t Be Homesick Crate ($149) is overflowing with fresh-baked bagels, cream cheese, ground coffee, salami, pastrami, Jewish rye bread, and more. It was designed for faraway New Yorkers, but we bet it would do the job for any hungry dad. Now all he needs is Sunday paper and some peace and quiet.

Sugar Daddy

Your dad sometimes feels like a human ATM. So he’ll certainly get a kick out of this money card wallet from Paris House ($75). It’s available at Auto, a boutique specializing in clothing, home accessories and gifts that celebrate whimsy, creativity and sophistication. And it’s the perfect present from Daddy’s Little Princess.
