“A Father is someone you look up to no matter how tall you grow”
– Unknown
Every year, Mother’s Day comes and goes but for some reason, Father’s Day just seems to catch you by surprise. Not this time. We did a little digging and the one thing all Dad’s seemed to want, was…. well.. to relax. A quality lounge-on-the-couch session. While a nap isn’t easily wrapped and gifted, we rounded up the best Dad’s Day presents he’s sure to love.
**In honour of the wisdom Dad’s (or Pops, Daddy, Papa, you get the idea) always have, we want to hear the best advice he’s ever given you. Tell us about it in the comment section below, with the hashtag #DadKnowsBest (because let’s be honest, they usually do). Winner gets a $50 Giftcard, which you can give to dad OR head to SoftMoc (or Softmoc.com) yourself and snap up a gift for him.
Because planning date night with mom isn’t exactly #1 on Dad’s To-Do list, do it for him (& her). Pick up a pair of snazzy Sperry Gold Tips or keep it casual with Clarks “Allston Edge” Lace Up’s. Have a tech-savvy Dad? K-Swiss’s Tablet Organizer is the ultimate in smart cases.
You know the saying.. all a man needs is his fishing pole and a cooler. Or toes in the sand… Beach Bum or not, Sperry’s “Santa Cruz” tan sandals are casually cool.
Because he’s had that wallet in his back pocket for the past twenty two years, upgrade (or give him the option to) with Fossil’s “Bradley Execufold” wallet in tan or black.
Last but not least, give him the best in lounge wear – moccasins. We’re partial to SoftMoc’s 1471 Brown Leather and Double-Soled tan cork mocs.
And for the Dad who’s got everything, the golden egg of gifts, a SoftMoc Gift Card.
