#FathersDay: 13 Gifts You Can Give Dad To Make His Back-To-Office Life Cool

There's so much more to men's grooming and so many cool products to make this process easy. We spotted this on our daily LBB pilgrimage, the Boar Hair Shaving Brush & Natural Shaving Soap Combo from Pink Woolf. Dermatologically tested and handcrafted, he will love the uses of boar hair that helps with a superlative shave and exfoliates the skin with the pleasant scent of the oceanic blue soap. With this we'd also suggest pairing this extremely easy to use, Nose and Hair Battery Operated Trimmer, specifically built for removing troublesome nose and ear hair. All of these definitely mount for the perfect Father's Day gift. 

Dads have this superpower to always dress impeccably, and yes while he might have several office-wear clothes already, it'll be nice to throw in a mix of some semi-formal linen shirts too! We recommend linen shirts because, they're super breathable and perfect for the summer. Brands you can refer to are Marks and Spencer, Uniqlo,  Bombay Shirt Company and more.

One of the many things that I've learnt from Dad is to make a "To-do" list before starting the day off. The delight of checking the boxes after each task is finished is exceptional. Whether it's for jotting down recipes or making a work plan, gifting our fathers some vintage stationery is always a good idea. Our favourite would be this Task Planner Notepad or Modaro's A5 Notebook with Phone Holder Pocket, Card Holder, Pen Holder and Monthly Planner. LBB too has plenty of great stationery to go with too. Another brand that does the classic and traditional types of journals, planners, notebooks and more is UC - The Design Atelier.

Getting him a mug for his office is a no-brainer. Plus since it’s Father’s Day you can get super cheesy because trust me, Dads love cheesy stuff (after dad jokes, of course) We love this heat changing one from Marks and Spencer. It’s cute, sturdy, affordable, and essential!

Going back to office will mean re-organising his space again, and for that, you obviously need an organiser. Luckily, Studio Indigene, has a host of organisers which are perfect for office use. We particularly like this one since it’s minimal, doesn’t take up too much space, and serves the purpose of being functional. For more options from brands such as SPIN, IKEA and Unisoul, check out this list of best desk organisers. 

Desi dads love their Mohd. Rafi and Kishore Kumar jams till date. So why not gift him a snazzy pair of ear buds so that he can not only listen to music while commuting to work, but also block out the haters with! I recently got my dad these Boat Air Drops, I loved them because they don’t cost an arm and a leg, the reviews were decent enough, and it’s quiet boomer-proof! He loved them because they're easy to use, the battery lasts quite long (claims to have 14 hours of playback which is true so far) and he gets to listen to his favourite songs! It's a win-win.

It’s a universal truth that Dads love munching. But to stop him from ordering endless samosas and kachoris in the office, gift him a bunch of healthy snacks he can keep at the office and munch on for evening snacks. You can make a huge hamper out of these Minty Makhaanas from Nutty Yogi, Monsoon Harvests’ Cranberry Almond bars, Nutripanda’s Multi Namkeen and much more from here.

We bet since the pandemic hit, he hasn’t bought himself a pair of good formal shoes. So please take this opportunity, by gifting him a lovely pair of formal shoes. They’re not only great for office-wear but can be worn otherwise too. We love these Whiddon Pace Dark Brown ones from Clarks! They have like a hundred more options, so check those out too.

LBB Tip: For more reasonable options, check out Hush Puppies and their collection of men’s formal shoes. 

Handy and super functional. A wireless charger makes for a great gift since it’s not something that he’d not buy himself, but it is pretty useful. It’ll save him the trouble of carrying his phone charger to office and back since he can just leave this there. We spotted this one on Croma, it's sleek, minimal, and has a dual charging pad too! So if your old man juggles two phones, he can easily pop them on here while working. 

Yes, a definite splurge, but if not now, then when will you spoil him rotten?! Swarovski pens are not pens, they are statements. And if you want your pop to make a statement then definitely get him one! They have several options to choose from, and honestly, while we cannot decide which ones are best, we’d definitely say we love the Classic Silver Tone one. It’s understated, minimal, and quite stylish. Plus it comes in 5 colours, so take your pick! If you still think that a crystal pen might be pushing it, then check out this Shakespeare Pen from Hidesign, luxurious with a solid brass barrel, and high-quality vegetable tanned leather! 

LBB Tip: Also, if you want to go the pen route, and want more options, check out this. 

Another no-brainer, office bags are an essential when it come to office supplies. So gift him one this Father’s Day so he can walk in, in style, eh? We spotted this Smith and Blake messenger bag that looks quite sleek, stylish, and sophisticated. They also have a ton of options on their website too!

LBB Tip: They have a Father’s Day Sale going on! Also, if you dad travels a lot, then check out Mokobara for super trendy luggage that's all about being sleek, minimal, and functional.

Boss man needs a tie and cuff links set, right? Even if he doesn't wear it daily, we all know that dads want you to dress formal even if you're going to the beach! Go get your old man this set from Louis Phillipe that comes with a tie, cuff links and a pocket square, in navy blue. If he's a daring fashionista, then may we recommend Satya Paul for their vibrant colours and prints. For someone on a budget, this adorable Superman symbol cuff link and tie clip is perfect!
