It seems that dads just want to chill out and relax – maybe be a couch potato watching sports on TV or a beach bum sprawled out in the sand. Perhaps a round of golf is his goal or a few sets of tennis. Whatever way he wants to spend his special day, there are terrific choices for special gifts guaranteed to please him.
Sand Art Sculpture is perfect for Dad's desk top when he is deep in thought. Created by an Austrian artist, the sculptures create a new picture each time it is flipped. Finishes are walnut or black, $69 to $99 from Red Ginger Home, Red Bank.
Lacquered Boxes in rosewood or walnut burl are perfectly sized to hold Dad’s remote controls, keys or cell phone, $59 to $89 from Red Ginger Home.
A “Gentlemen’s Essential Face Care” facial,Milagro Spa, is perfect relaxation for the harried Dad as it is designed to neutralize the effects of stress, sports and harsh abrasives that a man is exposed to on a daily basis. A 50 minute session is $98. Milagro Spa is in Red Bank and Manasquan.
The Sharper Image has many great ideas for Dads: for the golfer, there are electric golf club cleaners from $9.99 to $19.99; for the beach bum, the innovative 3 N 1 Beach Chair, $99.99 — the first beach chair that allows you to lay on your stomach in true comfort, is easy to fold and portable; lazy Dads will love the King-size Hammock for a little slice of heaven on hot summer days, $199.99; and for the chief BBQ Chef there is a rechargeable Motorized Grill Brush, $9.99 or an Outdoor Grill Set with spatula, tongs with spearing tips, grill brushes, and a digital fork with built-in thermometer in a carrying case, $79.99.
Another super idea for the outdoorsy Dad is a graceful Chiminea, $179.99 from Sickles Market, Little Silver, which would add sculptural beauty to the garden in warm weather. In cooler weather, the chiminea can be fired up for a blazing fire to enjoy while sitting in the garden or on a patio.
For the chief executive Dad, always on the go,Garmany in Red Bank suggests the Gucci Duffle, $590 or a Paul Smith Wallet, $225. And for sons wanting to be like Dad, matching Vilbrequin Swimming Trunks – men’s, $230; boys, $120-130. For mom to give Dad, there is the Trophy Husband T-Shirt, $28.
Once Dad has opened his gifts, what better way to celebrate his day than with a beautiful grilled Butterflied Leg of Lamb marinated in mint sauce. Recipe to follow.
Happy Father’s Day to all Dads, Grand-dads and Dads-to-be!
