We’ve polled the Hubbies here at Yummy Mummy and the verdict is in: Anything on this Gift Guide will more likely than not score you bonus points this Father’s Day.

GENTLEMEN’S TONIC
www.gentlemenstonic.com
B47-B48, Basement 1 Level, The Landmark, 15 Queens Road
Tel: (852) 2525 2455
Email: [email protected]
A spa for men who don’t go to spas, this well-known British brand combines a traditional barbershop with grooming and lifestyle treatments – all while being a reassuringly masculine refuge designed exclusively for men – think wood, leather, marble.  Beyond run-of-the mill barber services like cuts and shaves, they have a range of treatments created with some famous – and infamous – historic male personae in mind.  I think Hubby could do with The Hemingway after stepping off his next red-eye flight.  Perfect “after a night of heavy drinking and bull fighting” it includes a Bloody Mary, an aromatherapy facial and massage.

MANDARIN SHAVE

Super sweet matching tees for Daddy and the little one from one of our favorite new sites for gifties, Babatude. Just the right combination of cute and cool makes this set perfect for Dad.

PHEASANT SHOOTING IN CHINA AT GLENDARRY
An English style driven pheasant shoot in China?  Yup. Book Dad and his mates on a trip to the Glenderry Country Club in Pine Valley, just outside of Zhuhai and he’ll get a chance to tromp around the countryside on a shoot that comes complete with gun hire, beaters and trained gun dogs, lunch and afternoon tea and more.  Get the full scoop here – but note the shooting season at Glenderry runs November 1 – March 20 so this would be a fall trip he’d have plenty of time to plan for.

DATE NIGHT DINNER FROM THE PORTERHOUSE

Tel: (852) 2553-3765
E-mail: [email protected]
How ’bout the ultimate date night dinner delivered? The Porterhouse is one of our hands-down favorite meat delivery services in Hong Kong and while they are of course known for their insanely divine steaks, did you know they also have one of the best creamed spinach dishes around?  They offer easy in-home catering options (either with a chef or prepped and ready for you to ‘whip up’) to make a date night at home easy and elegant.
