With Father's Day approaching, let’s take a moment as the staff at French Beauty Co share their top gift ideas to celebrate their dads. We’ll also delve into some heartfelt stories and cherished memories of our paternal figures.
Emilie’s story:
“One day my dad took me to the market and we ended up staying for over 3 hours looking at a show (inside a marquee). We were only supposed to buy bread and be back within 15 min so my mum called every police station and hospital in the area. Mum didn't talk to my dad for a few days!!!”
Emilie's pick: Bon Parfumeur Eau de Parfum 801 Aquatic
“Dad always likes a nice fragrance. My pick is Bon Parfumeur 801 as it reminds me of Bleu de Chanel. It’s the perfect scent for any dad that likes a fresh but citrusy fragrance!”
Sonia’s story:
“One of my favourite memories with Dad is the time he booked us a surprise family vacation. It has to be one of the most cherished holidays we’ve ever had.”
Sonia’s pick: Monsieur Barbier Super Daddy Box
“My dad is a super daddy, so this box is perfect for him! It comes with all the essentials for shaving, making it a practical gift for any man. Plus, it's a really cute present. I’m sure he’s going to love it!"
Clementine’s story:
“One special thing about my dad is that he’s always worn different socks on each foot and loves unique socks with patterns or animals that stand out.”
Clementine’s pick: Cerave Facial Moisturising Lotion
“For Father’s Day, I’m planning to give my dad the Facial Moisturising Lotion from Cerave, because he always has very dry skin and I already use this product everyday for years and I love it.”
Ivy’s story:
“My dad is a man of few words, but when he does say something, he slays! He is the sunscreen police and he even tells me to still put it in my ears. That's why I always get him sunscreen because you can never be too safe!”
Ivy’s pick: Avene Sunscreen Emulsion SPF 50+
"My dad uses sunscreen every day, so it’s always a great gift idea for him. I particularly like this one because it's water-resistant, non-greasy, and offers protection from both UVA and UVB rays. It’s like a sunscreen that doubles as skincare, which makes it the best choice!"
Cassandra’s story:
“One quirky thing about my dad is his constant lateness. When I was younger, we even missed a flight because he was running so behind, and we ended up having to spend the night at the Paris airport!”
Cassandra’s pick: Nuxe Men Travel Pack
"My dad enjoys smelling great, and I think this Nuxe collection has a divine fragrance. Since he prefers to pack light when travelling, this would be the perfect travel kit of essentials for him."
Arnaud’s story:
As my daughters put it, “Dad’s jokes are terrible, but we love him because he’s always there for us. So, my sisters and I teamed up to get him this Monsieur Barbier Beard & Hair Care Box.”
Their pick: Monsieur Barbier Beard & Hair Care Box
"Dad loves his beard oil and uses it every day, so we're sure he'll appreciate a restock. Plus, this pack includes shampoo and a comb, making it the perfect gift!"
Erin’s story:
“If you’ve ever wondered where the saying “happy as Larry” comes from, it’s all thanks to my Dad, Larry. He’s the source of every joke and the one who shaped my sense of humour. He has a way of bringing light to every situation, and his sole purpose seems to be putting a smile on my face.”
Erin’s pick: Monsieur Barbier Exfoliating Cleanser Face Wash
"I bought this for my partner months ago, and he loves it for cleaning and exfoliating his skin. I thought it would be the perfect gift for my dad as well! It has a delightful almond scent and is truly a great daily product."
We hope these thoughtful gift ideas and personal stories inspire you to show your appreciation for the special men in your life. Here’s to making new memories and honouring the ones we hold dear. Happy Father’s Day!
