Did you wish your dad Happy Father’s Day? It’s not too late yet, in case you haven’t. And while you’re at it, sample this for a gift idea — a genuine classic Peterson pipe perfectly paired with a high-polish chrome Zippo lighter. This special pipe lighter allows a strong, steady flame that doesn’t burn the pipe bowl. And if you want to make it even more special, you have the option of customising the lighter with an engraved message for your father. Pick up this cool set for Rs 9,500.

Cool quotient

Talk your dad into a summery makeover for Father’s Day. Choose from Blackberry’s Wonder of Whites collection to make him give in to the idea. The predominant colour in the range, of course, is soothing white. And on offer are shirts in comfort fabrics like linen, cotton and in cotton linen blends. Also available are shorts, capris and even trousers. While the shirts are in the range of Rs 1,600 to Rs 2,000, capris and shorts are priced between Rs 1,095 to Rs 1,395.

Power drive

Now here’s something that even the most-hard-to-please, no-nonsense father can’t resist. The Victorinox Presentation Master is one cool accessory to own. Not only does it offer a 32GB storage device, it also provides secure data encryption technology. So, files and folders can only be accessed by recognition of your fingerprint or password. The Presentation Master also has integrated Bluetooth remote control for your PC/notebook and a laser pointer. And, of course, there are the ‘Swiss knife regulars’ like a blade, screwdriver, scissors, etc. The ‘flight secure’ model of the gizmo comes without blades, making it safe to tote around while travelling. (Price on request).

Timeless gesture
