GIFT GUIDE: The perfect Father's Day present for every type of dad
Father’s Day is that time of the year when we honor our beloved dads.
Whether he's doing household repairs, conducting business calls, cooking for everyone, blasting the songs of his time, giving life advice, or delivering dad jokes, our fathers are known for wearing many hats.
As a carpenter, plumber, company executive, chef, DJ, and life coach, among many other roles, there's a perfect gift for every version of him.
This list does away with the proverbial statement mugs and ties. By June 15, you ought to give him something that's not only on-brand and unique, but also practical and usable based on what type of papa, pop, daddy, dad, or tatay he is.
The Astig Father
He loves to cap a busy day off at work with a nice glass of scotch. He's laidback, chillaxed, and astig like that.
For this type of dad, something to match his vibe would be the perfect gift. Johnnie Walker has a limited-edition Blue Label Ice Chalet, which features smooth layers of salted honey, cacao, and soft malt.
Created in collaboration with luxury ski brand Perfect Moment, the liquor comes with a stylish bag that turns into a crossbody accessory once the bottle is removed. This reinforces his chill aura.
