The Luxe Gift

Even men with the most simple (or nonexistent) grooming routines will appreciate the finishing-touch power of a new scent. A mix of sage, bergamot, and vetiver has universal appeal, and the ombre bottle is sharp enough to pass muster on any dresser.

The Strategic Gift

People who don’t like or need things tend to appreciate experiences or services. Help organize things for the busy, always-traveling Dad with a service that gets his luggage—or his golf clubs—to the hotel ahead of time (like San Antonio’s Emily Morgan).
