Our editor-in-chief’s husband weighs in with his top gift picks for this Father’s Day. —Jay and Noa Nichol
dad bod. Maintaining my "dad bod" (open to interpretation) has become a top job as I head into my 40s, and any help I can get in this pursuit is appreciated. I’m liking Under Armour‘s new UA Rush workout range: base layers made of mineral-infused fabric that absorbs the energy your body emits and reflects it back into your tissues and muscles, improving strength and endurance. Translation: my muscles can work harder, and my dad bod gets better.
watch want. Here’s a real "wish list" item: a luxury watch. Like Chopard‘s L.U.C. Perpetual Twin in stainless steel ($32,600), with alternating matte and polished finishes that give a "shimmering" effect. It may not keep track of my daily steps, but it sure looks stellar with a suit!
spa papa. Whenever my wife tells me she’s gone for a facial (often) I wonder if I should be doing the same. While I’m not well versed on these things, I’ve been told microdermabrasion is a safe bet. Relieve the effects of sun damage, aging and blackheads? I’m in. And I hear Spa at the Madison offers a package of six treatments for $599—sounds like a good gift for a newbie.
close shave. No beard here; when it comes to facial hair, I keep it clean. That said, it’s nice to mix my everyday drugstore products up with some higher-end potions once in a while. New Bleu de Chanel shaving cream ($69) and two-in-one moisturizer for face and beard ($65) fit the bill; fancy, fragrant and they work (I’ll go back to the cheaper stuff when these run out).
deep sleep. With a little kid at home, the last few years have been, well, sleep-less; whatever time I get to spend not awake has to be quality. I recently discovered the Endy memory foam pillow (from $80, it’s made of shredded bamboo charcoal, which sounds cool); it can be adjusted to suit your preference by removing foam to achieve the desired density and is, in my opinion, the best part of our bedroom décor.
