A FATHER MEANS...
A Father means so many things...
A understanding heart,
A source of strength and of support
Right from the very start.
A constant readiness to help
In a kind and thoughtful way.
With encouragement and forgiveness
No matter what comes your way.
A special generosity and always affection, too
A Father means so many things
When he's a man like you...

Father's Day is only a few days away and if you are still shopping for a gift, here a few gift ideas you might want to consider. True to fashion, gifts for dads are not as extensive compared to gifts for moms. Being an optimist, I figured no need to fret but see this as an opportunity to challenge myself on how can I make this Father's Day special for my dad.
So, the idea of upgrading and updating every man's essentials, i.e. wallet, tie, belt, etc. Was the easiest to go about on what to get dads for Father's Day! Believe it or not, sometimes dads are so busy with work and caring for their family. They don't realize they can use a new wallet or a new belt. And when you give them something that thoughtful, it just make the present more special. Also, you don't have to get dad the flashiest and hottest thing out there. Devote some time shopping around and I'm sure you can find the best gift for Father's Day. Like this pair of Forzieri Multi-colored Swarovski Crystal Cufflinks (shown above) for $81.00!

I can't stress it enough the importance of skin care and maintenance for men. And it's during the cold season that a skincare regimen is most needed. Protecting your face against the harsh elements will have long term benefits. Keep in mind, it's never to late to start a regimen of your own.Skincare products and grooming tools are the key in achieving and maintaining a healthy-looking skin. If you shave with disposable razor blades even if you use top-of-the-line skincare products defeats their purpose.
As much as possible invest on grooming tools that works with your regimen. Also, having your best face forward involves maintaining your eyebrows, nose hair and facial hair. If you have to tweez then go for it. You can also have your eyebrows wax once a month or on your next haircut. So, if you know someone who follows a skincare regimen but lacks the right grooming tools. Give him the tools he's been missing!

PJ's are perhaps the one thing I don't mind receiving on my birthday, Christmas or any other occasion that involves giving me a present. Because it doesn't matter if its winter, spring, summer or fall, daytime or in the evening, you can find me in a pair of comfy pajamas. Specially when I'm at home. During this cold season, flannel and jersey sleepwear are best and cotton or other light fabric for warm months.
As far as how much you should spend on a pair of sleep pants, a $50.00 budget buys a nice pair from Banana Republic, GAP and Nordstrom. Macy's has boxed gift sets that are reasonably price. And if you're looking for great bargains on men's sleepwear Old Navy is the place to shop.

I think there are some guys who secretly wants a trendy designer bag. May it be for traveling, the gym, work or for everyday use. I remember shopping with my brother at Nordstrom and told him that I'll buy him a new bag for school. And as we are browsing, I noticed that he wasn't really looking at the bags. I kept on showing him designer bag after designer bag and all he say is yeah that looks good or it's cool. I later asked him why he seemed uninterested, he said handbag shopping is a girl thing. Oh brother! Long story short, he eventually told me that he liked the Tumi Messenger Bag we saw at the store.
Goes to show that us, men wouldn't mind getting a trendy gym bag, messenger bag or designer luggage as a gift this holiday. I guess this gift is best suited for someone who travels frequently for work. It would be nice to have something to remember you by when he's away from home. Makes homesickness a little better to handle.

Personally, I try as much as possible not to gift cologne unless it's specifically on someone's wish list. I say this from personal experience of receiving colognes (as gifts). Either I get a cologne that I usually wear seasonally or worst a scent that I don't really care for.
And yes, it's the season of giving and the thought is what counts. But to save you the trouble of exchanging your gift and avoid any awkward reactions opening your third bottle of the same cologne. You should let people know (don't demand) that colognes are not on your wish list this holiday. That's what I did last Christmas and actually was thanked for making their holiday gift shopping a little easier.

For those planning on giving cologne to their brother, dad or to any other 'guys' dear to you this holiday. I strongly recommend, 'The One' by Dolce & Gabbana - a concentrate of elegance and sensuality. A spicy, oriental fragrance, developed on the harmony of tobacco with refined base notes such as cardamom, ginger, cedarwood and orange blossom. If I was to pick the season's best men's fragrance hands down this is 'The One'.
Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, you know what that means Christmas is just around the corner. The spirit of giving is in the air and we will start shopping for gifts for people dear to our heart. So, I decided to create a series of smart gift ideas for guys and the ladies. Every week 'The Smart Stylist' will feature 3 smart gift ideas as part of '12 Smart Gifts for the Holidays'.
Modern, young and fun is always expected from Paul Smith. And it doesn't matter whom the gift is for. It can be your dad, brother or friend, Paul Smith transcends any age and never go out of style.

![]() Paul Smith Belts have a sense of humor and trendy styles. Great gifts for guys into music and arts. Like the guitar belt buckle for the rock n' roller in your life or a 'art noveau' inspired geometric belt for your aspiring artist. ![]() Paul Smith Multi-Color Cufflinks $130.00 Nowadays, ties and cufflinks are not just accessories for formal wear or the workplace. They add character and a finished refined look. For casual everyday look, fun and whimsical cufflinks and ties are the way to go. Have a dog lover on your list? Paul Smith has a pair of dog cufflinks ( $95.00 ) that are pretty cool. And as for ties, go for skinny ties. They are easy to pair with any shirt. Guys, ties you wear for work should be worn at work. If you're planning on giving neckwear to someone, pick one that is simple yet trendy and colors that are easy to wear. | ![]() Polka Dot Tie $135.00 Bluebee Skinny Tie $135.00 |
