Traditional gift ideas for dad - Trinidad and Tobago Newsday

There is certainly no lack of options when it comes to buying gifts these days. But while it's great to have an array of choices, when it comes to choosing the perfect presents for the fathers in our lives sometimes it's best to stick to the more classic gift choices. Here are a few suggestions for some great traditional gifts for Father's Day:

Leather journal

Many men and women throughout the ages have used journals to record their thoughts and experiences. These journals often become true family treasures as they can pass on the experiences, and perhaps the wisdom, of our ancestors from one generation to another. How about gifting your father with a nice leather journal for him to start recording his memories?

Wristwatch

Many of you might be wondering what the point of buying your dad a wristwatch is when he most likely already just uses his phone to check the time. But a classy watch still remains one of the best ways for a man to improve his style and is one of the best accessories for him to elevate his look. A wristwatch will also save your father the annoyance of having to fish in his pocket to pull out a clunky phone every time he wants to check the time.

Kitchen knives

Whoever said that men can't cook has obviously never met your father, right? A great gift for the chef in our lives is a top-quality kitchen knife. A complete collection of knives should include a good all-purpose chef's knife, a serrated knife, a paring knife, a vegetable cleaver (also known as a Chinese chopper), as well as a fillet knife; however, purchasing all of these knives at once will cost a pretty penny. So you can always just start dad's collection off with one or two. There's always next year's Father's Day after all!

Rum

TT is home to some of the finest rums in the world, and there are several local Angostura rums which would make a great addition to anyone's liquor cabinet. While some of the cheaper rums make good additions to cocktails and mixed drinks, Father's Day is a good occasion to treat dad to a good bottle of aged rum which can be enjoyed all on its own.

Wallet

Money might not be able to buy happiness, but it sure can help sometimes. Having a nice wallet to keep his money and cards handy in is not only convenient, but it can also help to elevate your dad's style. A quality leather wallet which will last for years is a classic choice for a Father's Day gift.

A good book

Reading is a timeless and enriching activity. Why not treat your dad to one or two good books to help him grow his library? Hardcovers may be a bit more expensive, but make for really classy gifts. Be sure to get something in a genre that you know your dad will enjoy.

Cologne

Our sense of smell is one of the most powerful senses that we possess, and we are all definitely judged by how good we smell. Wearing a good cologne is a surefire way to help your dad boost his confidence and make a good first impression no matter where he goes.
