In just a blink of an eye, another year has passed and Father’s Day is right around the corner again.
Well, buying gifts for dad can be one of the toughest and most challenging tasks as he probably wouldn’t tell you explicitly what’s on his bucket list – or would most likely brush you off by saying that he’s good without any presents.
We get how much of a struggle it can be but don’t fret, AVENUE ONE is here to help with our compilation of 25 practical gifts that we guarantee all dads will love!
For dads to embark on a self-care journey
1. Origins bestselling duo
Dads might seem unbothered when it comes to self-care and grooming but if you gift them the right items to help them kickstart a skincare regime of their own, we’re sure they will be asking for self-care Sundays with you in no time!
Start by giving the nature-powered skincare from Origins, now dressed in slate grey. Dad will get the brand’s bestselling Dr. Andrew Weil For Origins Mega-Mushroom Relief (S$63), which is a soothing watery treatment lotion that feels ultra-light on the skin. It’s formulated with potent natural actives such as Reishi, Fermented Chaga Mushrooms, and hydrating Hyaluronic Acid that helps boost your skin’s hydration levels and instantly soothes any visible irritation.
Next up is the Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash (S$43) that is gentle on the skin yet mighty when it comes to rinsing away impurities and excess surface oils as it’s formulated with key ingredients such as Broad Leaf Kelp Extract, Wheat Protein, and Tourmaline. Dad will feel clean and razor-ready after a simple wash as the dry and oily zones are now balanced, and skin is refreshed with a mint-infused scent from the facial wash.
You can now purchase this skincare duo at all Origins and Sephora stores islandwide as well as online on Lazada. Alternatively, you can also contact the Origins Concierge Service at 9657 0854 to make your purchase.

Made with advanced massage technology, this tiny but mighty massage sofa comes with auto massage programs targeted at the neck and shoulders that help with hunched backs derived from the extended usage of mobile phones and digital screens in general.
What we really like though is the DIY feature that lets you customise your massage sessions by allowing you to choose from a variety of techniques such as kneading, rolling, and tapping!
