This Splurge of the Week is more like splurge of the decade. For one, the cost of this Golf, Ball, Tee and Tray by Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. is like buying a brand new car. This luxury piece by Italian jewelry designer Elsa Peretti is just one of the fabulous creations she made in collaboration with Tiffany & Co. Peretti captured the spirit of the fairway with a sterling silver tee and a golf ball covered with 390 pavé diamonds totaling eight carats. The perfect give for dads who considers golf as one of their passions in life.

Top Picks for Father's Day Gifts Under $100


You can agree or disagree with me, men are easy to shop for. So, shopping for a Father's Day gift shouldn't be a challenge. I've always find gift shopping for my dad took less decision time in comparison to shopping for my mom. Not to say one is pickier than the other. Men are just easier to shop for period.

Here are my top picks for Father's Day gift ideas under $100. When I was working on my list, I had one thing in mind, functionality. Look for gifts that dad can use daily and can get a lot a mileage from. At the end of day, dads would appreciate anything. Even something as simple as a greeting card. Whatever you give him on his special day will go a long way.

Yup, you read it right. I have 11 not 10 best gifts for him under $100. I kinda got carried away, just a little. Anyhow, I'm sure most of you can agree that men are easy to shop for. And it's not because we tend to appreciate anything and everything gifted to us. Don't get me wrong with that last sentence, we are thankful and secretly love getting presents. We are easy to shop for simply because we can use any addition to our closets, accessories, grooming, etc. Hey, we are very ecstatic if we just get a gift card. On what to buy with that gift card, is a totally different story.

I've always told my friends who asks for advice on how to let the 'man' in their lives know that he needs to change their cologne, ditch their raggedy shoes or anything that has to do with improving their style and fashion sense is to get the point across in a subtle way. And one way to do that is through gifts. So, make this holiday gift giving an opportunity to upgrade his style. This shouldn't cost much but can last a lifetime!

Happy Father's Day!

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...
To all dads out there specially my dad, Happy Father's Day! Hope to see you soon! Enjoy your day.

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!

Smart Gifts for Him # 6: Grooming Tools

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!

Smart Gifts for Him # 5: Sleepwear & Loungewear

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.

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.
