Father’s Day Gifts That Pair Grooming & Gadgets


When it comes to Father’s Day gift ideas, a few staples have stood the test of time. Ties, watches and wallets are always top contenders, while sports or grill-related presents are also popular. For more tech-savvy señors, electronics are an easy buy – but what’s a child to do when dad already has the latest and greatest innovations? Put down that smiley-face tie with matching cufflinks, and go with a choice that pairs grooming and gadgets.

NuFACE Mini – Anti-aging Apparatus
Papa doesn’t need plastic surgery – just a quick, 5 minute, (non-invasive) facial lift. Contouring large surfaces, the FDA-approved handheld device is suitable for the forehead, cheeks, jawline and jowls. In only a matter of minutes, immediate results are revealed (and full results after 60 days). It’s great for guys who want to avoid surgery but take off years and achieve lifted, toned, skin. All dad has to do is clean his face, apply gel primer and press the spheres to his face before the soft wave microcurrent technology stimulates. No batteries needed – this baby has a charger. It costs $199 at mynuface.com.

Clarisonic Mia 2 for Men – Skin Cleanser Contraption
For the father with only a few seconds to groom, face washing becomes infinitely more efficient. Wetting the brush head, applying cleanser, and holding the device to the face for 60 seconds is all it takes – meaning no pain and no torture for the tough guy. The timer even indicates when cleansing is done. During pre-shave prep, or when simply scrubbing the day away, the device’s brush head and sonic technology cleans skin six times better than hands alone. Reduced pore size, smoother skin and a clearer complexion are achieved easily – with little effort – on the spot. There’s no need to fret over cords for electric currents – place the handheld device in its charging station when not in use to reboot the permanent battery. The gift goes for $149 at Clarisonic.com or Sephora stores.

Instrumental Beauty Portable Pedicure – Foot and Heel Enhancer
Summer and sandals means toes need aesthetic attention. For a manly-man who is opposed to manicures and pedicures at the salon, the on-the-go gadget removes dead, rough, skin and makes feet soft again, via a spinning roller. Without using a blade, moistened or dry feet can take on the battery-operated apparatus for an instantly smoother surface. Even less expensive than an in-person pedicure, it retails for $30 at InstrumentalBeauty.com.
