Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Posted on by

It is the Father’s day this Sunday and here are some ideas for that first man in your life.

Like it or not, daddy has to take care of his health and heart. This little heart-rate monitor automatically establishes hear-rate limit of the wearer, displays target zone and provides audible alarms when you heart reaches the zone. Better still, it will always remind him of you whenever he works out and it costs only USD90.

The classic gentlemen gifts are ties, belts or wallet. If you are giving him one of those. Make sure it counts. leather belt from Hugo Boss at USD85, money clip wallet from Prada for USD270 and silk tie from Zegna at USD170.

For the sporty daddy, nothing beats a nice sporty, fuss-free watch for weekends like this Tag Heuer Formula1. Price starts from USD900 before discount.

If you daddy is a professional photographer or thinks he is, this camera bag from Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite line will definitely tops the list of his favorite gifts. Price is USD2,330 from Louis Vuitton.

Finally for daddy who loves expensive leather goods, this will be a gift to remember. The classic Gucci horsebit loafers in crocodile costs USD1,590 but it is what a pair of expensive loafers is supposed to look like.

Askme – Bag or Watch?

Posted on by

Hi Purseholic

I am buying a gift for my wife’s 37th birthday. We have been married for 12 years now and I am looking for something rather expensive and special. I am torn between a watch and a handbag. My wife wears a Seiko watch which I bought for her 5 years ago. She also owns three designer handbags from Gucci. Coach and Prada. My budget is S$3000 for a handbag and up to S$5000 for a watch. I don’t think she has any preference in particular but in your opinion, which one will a woman prefer? A watch or a handbag?

Hello Alvin

I am not very sure which one your wife would prefer but generally speaking, the art of horology is not something that the fairer sex would appreciate. Even if they do, it would be more for its looks rather than the mechanism that runs inside the watch.

In your case however, I am leaning more towards a watch for your wife as she has already own three designer bags and only one watch. Nevertheless, I am going to give you recommendation for both and you make the final call yourself.

Seiko is a decent watch and it runs for years but a Swiss made timepiece is a different thing altogether. For SGD5,000 or less, you could get a Tag Heuer. My sis just recently purchased a diamond-paved Tag and is very happy with it. Choose from one of the Tag Heuer Aquaracer watches above. They are fine watches, water resistant up to 300m and obviously versatile enough to be worn from day to eve. These watches are indeed running on Quartz rather than Automatic, then again, she would not mind. The brushed stainless steel version with diamond-paved bezel costs around SGD5,000 (left) while the stainless steel and yellow gold version costs around SGD3,000 (middle) or SGD4,000 for extra diamonds (right).

Now for handbags, I am thinking either a Louis Vuitton Brea GM in Epi Leather (around SGD2,500) or  the classic Loewe Amazona 36 (around SGD2,500) would make a good addition to her small collection.

Trust me when I say that all the Tags and bags above are rarely seen in Singapore hence pretty special.
