We all wish we could stroll into Maserati of Long Island and get our notoriously impossible to shop for dad a new set of wheels… maybe next year. In the meantime we don’t need a Centurion Card budget to make this Father’s Day truly memorable and special. Keep reading for a look at gift ideas dad will love.
- Head over to Roosevelt Field’s Williams-Sonoma and snag the Flour Shop Checkerboard Cake Kit. It’s a fun activity to do with dad if he fancies himself a chef or to make for dad if he’s more of a gourmand. It’s a bit involved as compared to your run-of-the-mill cake mix, but the result is truly a unique and unforgettable treat that anyone with a sweet tooth will appreciate, especially given the handmade touch.
- In tandem with Flour Shop you might want to snag dad the Aquasonic Vibe Series Ultra-Whitening Toothbrush at Westbury’s Walmart. It has nearly 30,000 reviews on Amazon to prove it lives up to its hype and at under $40 it’s a more-than-reasonable antidote to truckloads of sugar – plus it comes in multiple colorways.
- If you’re shopping for a dad with young children, while you’re already at Walmart, checkout the new PLAY-DOH Pizza Delivery Scooter Playset. It’s such a fun way for dad to connect with a toddler since it packs so much into one toy. It includes a ride-on scooter that features a play kitchen and accessories, plus a pizza slot and checkout station. Accessories include a cell phone for taking orders, credit card, 10 cans of Play-Doh and more.
- Shopping for a highbrow gift? Dad can skip the Botox and instead opt for Orveda, which you can get exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue. The highly concentrated, clean and vegan skincare brand is packaged in masculine bottles that look as good as the elixir contained inside work. Users say that the products feel great on skin and absorb quickly.
- At the end of the day being with our loved ones is the best gift of all and while in today’s digital age the art of a handwritten note seems long gone, it doesn’t have to be. The Paper & Plan Co. makes paper products from notepads to planners and for Father’s Day you might want to consider their Farmers Market Bundle, which includes like “you broc my world” and “I’m grapeful for you” cards. A thoughtful card and a big hug might be the best gift yet.
- East Hampton’s Kirna Zabete is best known for their fashion, but they have a fantastic curated selection of home products as well. Kick off summer vibes with a piece of maritime-themed art like Matt Albiani’s Guard Feet.
- Speaking of summer vibes, we’re loving Sqween sunscreen for kids. Toss dad a tub and hit one of Long Island’s fantastic beaches. It’s 100% mineral and “ick-free” as the brand says and goes on with a brush so dad will actually have fun slathering it on with kids.
- The cabana shirt is the must-have shirt for both men and women this season. Keep dad looking fly with one of Todd Snyder’s signature cabana shirts, like this Cropped Terry in Bisque, from the designer’s East Hampton boutique.
- If you’re shopping for a coffee lover, head over to one of Ralph Lauren’s Long Island shops to snag Ralph’s Coffee Barista Polo Bear Tumbler, a convenient and stylish way to enjoy a hot brew all day long.
- It’s a known fact that sleep goes out the window as men get older and frequent urination becomes a common problem. While it won’t cure an enlarged prostate, Yogasleep’s sound machines, including their newly launched Hushh 2, can make getting back to a snoozing state after a bathroom trip more seamless.
