What to Get the Man who has Everything
Lisi Korn
I was reading all these blogs about Father’s Day, and they were all exactly the same. Same gift ideas, same ties, same tools, same, same, same … I mean, really?
So it got me thinking, what could I do for dad (and you can insert husband, brother, friend… any father in your life) that would be really special? Don’t get me wrong, this is in no way or form a gift list, none of that BS… this is just something I thought were fun for all the cool dad out there (I just know there is SO much more to choose from out there than making the 300th tie purchase. But if that’s what makes him tick, then by all means keep growing his tie collection).
Keep it traditional with something shiny
Now there’s nothing wrong with being traditional, if that’s your thing. A nice watch – which may not be an experience, unless he’s crazy into watches and then it totally counts as one – is the male equivalent of diamonds, and pretty much the only jewelry we can shower on our guys…
So, what time is it?
Drum roll… let us present you with the Master Ultra Thin Minute Repeater Flying Tourbillon (a.k.a., the watch he’ll feel like a million dollars in… or $400,000).
Price? $400,000. Jaeger-Lecoultre – jaeger-lecoultre.com
But there are many shiny things out there…
If you want to keep adrenaline going, dads, sons, uncles, grandfathers, you name it, they all love cars, and they LOVE fast cars, (even though some only drive above 30 mph LOL). This a NICE grown up toy to have or to ride, or to look at, or all of the above! Have them feel forever young and let him drive this bad boy at a professional race track and maybe this time he can get up to 40mph.
So we covered “bad ass James Bond” dad, the watch aficionado, and big-boy-toy fan, how about the
Elite Golf: How about gold golf clubs?
He’ll be the envy of the country club with this 14-club masterpiece golf set from Honma, and up and coming Japanese brand. Made of both gold and titanium, these art pieces have been manufactured by 100 craftsmen.
Price? $75,000. Honma – honmagolf.com
The Crossfit-Ninja Warrior Dad
This is the health/fitness-nut-I-run-500-mile-marathons (or want to believe that I do) kind of dad. Who knows? Maybe he can be the next American Ninja warrior (BTW did you know there is an American Ninja Warrior gym in North Miami?).
I’m all in for this kind of dad/ hubby. If running all those miles, doing crossfit, or becoming the next American Ninja warrior is going to make him look like (or close to) David Beckham, then I will buy him a lifetime membership! Maybe this gift is really for us, ladies? 😉
Forget concert tickets…
Blow his mind (and his eardrums) with this couture handcradted speakers.

But Don’t Forget to Relax
Dad doesn’t have time for much, because he’s SUPER busy being the #bestdadever! Let’s face it, we love spending time with the family, but everyone needs a little “leave-me-the-heck-alone” time. So why not a “don’t bother me I’m having a 2 hours massage” present? Guys would never indulge in something like that on their own, but don’t you believe for a second they would turn it down.
and Have a Bite!
You can do one, two or all of the above, but a little family time can be the icing on the cake.
Breakfast, lunch or dinner (I leave that on you) but nothing says “I love you, Dad/hubby” like butter and carbs. After all, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,” and a nice Italian meal may be just what the, ahem, chef ordered.
