For All the Fathers, Always: A Father’s Day gift guide
Honoring all who step into the role with gifts and gratitude
Tatay, Daddy, Dad, Pops, Papa, Papi, whatever name you call them, whether by blood or by bond, this June we honor them all. Fatherhood wears many faces, and behind each one is a quiet strength, a steady presence, a love that often goes unspoken but is always felt.
We often say we should celebrate them not just this month but every day. Yet life gets busy and we forget to call, to share stories, to laugh over a game of cards or simply sit beside them in silence. Still, they continue to give, to show up, to love without asking much in return. That’s the quiet beauty of fatherhood.
If you’re still searching for the perfect gift this Father’s Day, we’ve gathered a thoughtful collection of must-have items. Whether he’s an adventurer, a scent connoisseur, a tech lover, or someone who appreciates timeless style, these gift picks are thoughtfully curated to suit every kind of father figure.
Adizero Boston 13, Adidas – P8,000
Whether he’s a casual jogger or a serious runner, this fast, training-ready shoe is the perfect new companion on his runs. It features 13.8% more Lightstrike Pro foam for added softness, while the Lighttraxion outsole pattern helps reduce weight without compromising grip.
Phantom Elixir, Paco Rabanne, P8,750
For the dad who’s never afraid to turn up the volume, this bold fragrance channels rock-and-roll energy. Oud at the heart meets fresh marine notes and warm vanilla bean at the base, creating a scent that’s both magnetic and electrifying—perfect for night outs and signature moments.
212 VIP Black Elixir, Carolina Herrera, P8,550
If oud isn’t quite his style, this ambery, aromatic, and gourmand fragrance offers a lighter—but no less impactful—alternative. With sparkling grapefruit, bitter juniper, and black licorice layered with orange blossom and saffron, it finishes with rich notes of black vanilla, oakwood, and vetiver. It’s smooth, bold, and built to linger.
Double Take Short Sleeve Polo, Alo – P6,200
Alo makes its debut in the Philippines just in time for Father’s Day. This short sleeve pique shirt features drop shoulders and a boxy silhouette, offering both comfort and style. It’s the kind of piece that works for everything—from airport fit checks to tee time at the country club.
Instax Mini 41, Fujifilm – P6,599
A blend of nostalgia and modern simplicity, this analog instant camera is more than a photo tool—it’s a memory-maker. Its Close-Up Mode reduces framing guesswork for more accurate shots and fewer wasted films. Bonus: you’ll probably end up with your own personal photographer for the day.
Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung – P81,990
From finding photos with a single command to scheduling his next game night, the Galaxy S25 is a smart and intuitive upgrade. Powered by AI, it’s like having a pocket-sized assistant—perfect for the multitasking dad you wish you could be with more often.
Meisterstück Document Case Gray, Montblanc – P144,800
If he’s constantly jetting off for business, this sleek and elegant case makes an impeccable companion. Featuring a larger Montblanc logo, it includes functional interior pockets, top leather handles, a removable shoulder strap, and a trolley sleeve for ultimate travel ease.
Mexico 66 Chunk, Onitsuka Tiger, P12,800
A stylish update to a classic favorite, the Mexico 66 Chunk adds subtle height and elevated fashion sense which comes in white and black colorway. With its iconic hand-stitched-style stripes and a chunkier sole, it blends nostalgic charm with modern flair—perfect for dads who appreciate a touch of bold design.
And as we celebrate, we also pause to remember the fathers who are no longer with us. Those whose voices we miss and whose wisdom still echoes in our hearts. May their memory be a blessing, and may our love for them live on in how we carry their legacy forward.
