Gifts for Father’s Day to thank the men in our lives

Whether you’re looking for quirky fashion, tongue-in-cheek gifts, practical presents or just something to say, “I love you, Dad,” we’ve found some to hit all the points. Here’s our Father’s Day gift guide for 2018.

If you’ve got a man who enjoys the finer things in life, get him something he will really want this Father’s Day at One Bond Street. It’s your one-stop shop for all things elegant and refined, including limited edition, solid sterling silver, London hallmarked wooden cufflinks and watch boxes (while shopping, you can even pick something for yourself because it has a wide selection of silver jewellery and accessories for women, too!). With its superior craftsmanship, outstanding quality and original, powerful and symbolic designs, you won’t go wrong with a gift from here. We especially love its cufflinks, which are made from a recycled 747- 400 and Spitfire roundels (and can be purchased together with a carbon fibre cufflink or watch box!). Anything you find here will be both inspiring and stunning!
To celebrate Dad this holiday, One Bond Street is offering Sassy Mama readers both free delivery in Hong Kong and a 15% discount! Just use the discount code “ONE18” when checking out (valid until 15 June).
Still stuck on finding that perfect Father’s Day gift? Worry no more, mamas! Make Father’s Day more exceptional with the sleek Coravin Wine System from Bidvino!

For those who want to get their gifts prepared early, you can order now and get next business day shipping to most parts of Hong Kong! Just in time for Father’s day. If you just want some quality wine, you can find that at Bidvino, too. It was founded by some of Asia’s most prominent wine industry experts, which means you’ll find an exclusive and extensive range of big wine brands in stock. And never run out of your favourite wine!

We had a hard time deciding between the hilarious coasters (“Beer: Created By The Gods, Drunk By Legends,” $55), beer glass (“The Plan: Get Drunk. End of Plan,” $110), or the Man Tin ($110) pictured above, because all the gift ideas for dads here are so adorable and funny they made us laugh out loud! You can even find vouchers for dad ($78) that your little ones can fill out for him to redeem later. Find something for the man with a sense of humour, the beer lover or just the guy who won’t throw anything away. We know he’ll get a kick out of getting them as much as you do giving them!

Just because the weather’s heating up doesn’t mean your dad wants to sit inside! For the avid hiker, jogger or sportsman, these canteens caught our eye because they have triple insulation and will keep liquids cold for 25 hours or hot for 12 hours without sweating or freezing. If he’s feeling cheeky, the 25-ounce size can even fit a bottle of wine or bubbly!

Some dads like to putter around the house, BBQ on the balcony or perhaps work at home. All those things would be so much more fun if he had some tunes to keep him company. We’re eyeing these super cool companion speakers by Bose. Rather than a headset, these are worn around your neck so you can still hear what’s going on around you but also enjoy the music you want to hear.

Get one for Dad and daughter to signify their love.
