Let’s be real—fathers often are the lesser-spoiled parent in our lives. Whether it be for birthdays or Christmas, the gift that dad unwraps tends to be less flamboyant and more practical. But dads deserve to be doted on too, and now that the bountiful bouquets and glittering jewellery of Mother’s Day are behind us, it’s time to put more thought into this Sunday’s event. Instead of a practical pair of socks, indulge the man of your household with a Father’s Day gift that is a touch more luxurious.
For the wine connoisseur with a refined palate, a bottle of the iconic Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz is a prime option. A flavoursome blend of two red wine varietals, Australia’s most-collected wine bursts with the bold tannins of cabernet and the velvety tang of shiraz, delightfully balanced with the aroma of seasoned oak. Should dad be more caffeine-reliant instead, reach for a Coffee Bag gift box from Moroccan heritage brand Bacha Coffee, newly expanded to include two more majestic brews, along with Christofle’s sleek, silver-plated travel cup to enjoy his cuppa on the go.
Design enthusiasts would be thrilled to receive a hardcover copy of François Halard 2, a must-have compilation of the renowned French photographer’s architectural photographs, pages filled with breathtaking images spanning grand interiors, artists’ studios and architectural pilgrimage sites. Eager for dad to experience ground-breaking home design first-hand? Sit him down on an Eames lounge chair, a timeless, enduring classic in the world of mid-century furniture.
There are plenty more posh gifts where those came from—below, look through Vogue Singapore’s shortlist of the most lavish gifts to spoil dad with this Father’s Day.
