Looking for Father's Day gift ideas? Some dads are easy to shop for, but others require more time devoted to thinking of an extra-special gift that shows you care. Here we've got a selection of cool gifts - including classy items, the latest technology, gadgets and lots more - that dads will love to have.
Bally
Scribe Legere, with its lightweight micro-sole, now extends to a classically styled chukka boot in unlined, fine suede. This lightweight city shoe is crafted from box calf and pebble-grained leather. The Bally moccasin is re-introduced with a new injection moulded sole for maximum comfort and function.
Rolex
Rolex's new version of the Oyster Perpetual DAY-DATE will lend elegance and prestige to any father. Debuted in 1956, the DAY-DATE was the first chronometer wristwatch to indicate the date and day of the week on the dial in full. The new version in 18-carat white gold boasts a 36mm Oyster case, which ensures it is waterproof to a depth of 100 meters, and alligator leather straps with a 18ct gold crownclasp.
Begum Khan
At once refined and fun-and-funky, these rabbit cufflinks are a great way to spoil your father and make him feel like a modern-day Sultan. Inspired by the rich cultures of the Orient and the Ottomans, every handcrafted cufflink from Begum Khan is designed to provide detailed sophistication. These original pieces will offer your father a luxurious taste of eccentric sensibility and fun.
Royal Selangor
Chinese designer Yang Mingjie uses bamboo and pewter to create a series of chic, elegant teapots, teacups, brushes, saucers and a snack plate for well-known Malaysian pewter manufacturer Royal Selangor.
Neuhaus
This exciting collection is the perfect gift for your father if he happens to be Tintin fan! The covers of the 12 most popular stories from the comic series decorate three tins filled with delicious Neuhaus chocolates. Each tin contains 32 chocolates in four flavors.
Jawbone
Jawbone Up is a wristband able to track your activity, food intake and sleep, reminding you to take action to keep fit and healthy - so it's a wise as well as cool gift for Father's Day. One of the hottest wearable gadgets, it consists of a wristband and apps supporting iPhone and Android. The Up tracks how you sleep, move and eat 24/7, so you can know yourself better and make smarter choices.
Sleep tracking includes hours slept, deep versus light sleep and how many times you wake up. Activity tracking include steps, distance, calories burned and time spent. Take a photograph of your food, scan a barcode, browse the UP image gallery or search the ingredient database for information. UP helps you track calories, fats, carbohydrates, protein, sugar, fiber and sodium.
Tod's
The Double Stripe collection from Tod's is a must-have this season, which serves as testimony to the Tod's philosophy of combining tradition with modern excellence. It derives its name from the double leather stripe that decorates each bag. These stripes can be customized to the customer's specifications to reflect a favorite national flag or football team stripe, for example.
