FATHERS DAY: Other Gifts

I posted a beauty fathers day post yesterday and today is the final in the 'series' and these are just a few extras for you.
My dad absolutely loves reading - especially autobiographies. But these books are a little different to what he'd normally read. The Top 10 of London - £10.00* is so interesting. It features literally everything to do with a London and presents it into a top 10 list. For example 'top 10 oldest hotels,' 'top 10 retail centres in London' and 'top 10 film sets in London.' It's a great read and if you're obsessed with London like I am, this is a must! I personally think my dad is a great cook and he enjoys cooking and barbecues so if your dad is like mine then Weber's Barbeque Anytime - £15.99* will be perfect for him. Every recipe is illustrated and the instructions are pretty simple too. The recipes are great and they're things that you wouldn't think to try out on a barbecue.
If you're planning a splurge then I'd definitely recommend the Classic Aviator’s Men's Watch by BOSS Black - £275*. This watch is so beautiful. When I first held it in my hand I was amazed by how stunning it really is. It also feels very sturdy so you know that for the price, it's going to be very good and you're going to get your money's worth.
Mugs! You can't really go wrong with mugs and I really like these two. Both mugs retail for just £3.52 each.
And of course, cards. I personally love the one in the middle. My dad is a big Northern Soul lover and when he was younger he had lots of records so the middle card is wonderful. Card prices from L-R £1.50, £2.00, £2.00.

FATHERS DAY: Beauty Products

Fathers Day is just around the corner (17th June) so I thought I'd do a couple of posts recommending gifts for you. I feel that Fathers Day is neglected often and the focus is mainly put onto Mothers Day but remember, your dad is just as important! So here are my recommendations...
Kyoku is a range that is designed specifically for men. It incorporates ancient Japanese knowledge of natural extracts such as Ginseng, Green Tea Leaf, Bamboo, Chamomile and Avocado Oil with up to the minute scientific research.
The Kyoku Oil Control Lotion - £43.00* is for men with oily skin. It contains dual-action micro-particles which reduce shine on the skin whilst also keeping it fully hydrated. It also helps combat spots and contains SPF 15 to protect the skin from harmful UV rays.
The Kyoku Daily Facial Cleanser - £19.00* is powerful enough to clean away dirt and oil that is deep beneath the skin's surface but it's also gentle enough to use every day. It combats the appearance of dark circles, adds moisture and protects your skin from the effects of temperature and pressure whilst also preventing irritation. 
The Kyoku Razor Repair Balm - £29.00* is for those who find that shaving is irritating their skin. It's specially formulated to combat irritation, redness and dryness that shaving causes after every shave. It not only does all of this but it also smooths the skin texture and calms redness.
I love the packaging of these products. You can tell that they're very gender specific but they also look classy and high end (which they are). I love the smells as well.. they're not overpowering, they're just nice and manly.
The Weleda range is free from synthetic additives including fragrance, artificial colour or preservatives and these products are made without raw materials derived from mineral oils. They're also not tested on animals.
The Weleda After Shave Balm - £13.95* is a soothing and calming balm which refreshes the skin whilst moisturising it as well. It helps to sustain the skin's natural oils and Chamomile and Myrrh sooth the skin. It's also cooling and protects the skin from dryness, leaving it soft and supple.
The Weleda Smooth Shave Toner - £13.95* can be using before or after a wet or dry shave. It tightens the skin and makes the hair stand up which results in an easier shave. It also soothes and tones the skin whilst disinfecting any small cuts.
Once again, I love the gender specific packaging and also the scent. I also think that these are a really good price as you get a lot of product.
I truly love the Wilko's shower creams and since attending their event, I've been in to Wilko's to pick a few up for myself. However when it comes to men, I'm sure they don't want sweet, strawberry scents. So I'd recommend the Wilko Minty Shower Cream - £1.00* and the Wilko Tropical Coconut Shower Cream - £1.00* (or two for £1.50). These both smell absolutely beautiful and I've had to keep the coconut one away from my sister as she's obsessed. The scent lingers on the skin and because they're a shower cream, they moisturise the skin as well.
I've tried Pro Activ before and I'm a big fan! You can see my reviews of these products here so I won't go into too much detail but I really love them. They're gentle and are great for combating acne and spots. They also help with acne scarring as well which is wonderful and it's impossible to get spots without them leaving marks. You can buy the Pro Activ set here.
What man doesn't want aftershave? I was instantly attracted to this because of the vintage TV box. I've smelt this before and it's really love. I'm useless as describing scents so I'll just say.. go and smell it! This is the Diesel Fuel for Life gift set - £35.
