Toss the socks and choose something special this Father’s Day

Father's Day is around the corner and it's time to celebrate the dads in our lives with gifts that reflect their unique personalities and interests. Whether your dad is a style guru, a braai master, an outdoor adventurer, or a bookworm, there's something special out there to make his day memorable.

Here are a few suggestions to make sure dad's pleased as punch next Sunday.

For the foodie dad
No man should be without a decent chilli oil. It’s basically a braai staple, never mind the perfect ingredient for pasta, pizza and more. Have a look at the Banhoek Chilli Oil 3-pack - you can choose the original oil and then add in a more exotic option like Asian, Garlic or Chipotle. It comes packaged in a nifty carrier, perfect for gifting.

For the oenophile dad
You probably haven't heard that term, but it’s someone that loves their wine. If that’s your dad then this is the gift. Take a gander at the FAT bastard site - their ‘The Golden Reserve’ is everything that Father’s Day dreams are made of and we think dad will just love it.

For the sporty dad
If your dad is always on a golf course or the back of a mountain bike, it’s time to encourage him to get his family involved in his sport endeavours. How about a pair of beach bats to bring the family together?

For the braai dad
You’ll know this dad well. He’s a sucker for everything cooked on a braai and loves to serve it straight off the flame. It’s time to thank him for his efforts by elevating his style with a pair of "The Braai Pant'' – these long pants are the perfect way to braai and wipe your hands in true South African style. If that’s not his vibe then consider the ultimate braai tool, a traditional Firehawk Design Braai Bellow. Braaivleis, hier g*t ons!

For the experience dad
If your dad is all about experiences and culinary delights, why not take him to La Parada for a Spanish inspired meal. With restaurants around the country the delicious food and vibrant atmosphere is a perfect experience for the whole family.

For the bookworm dad
Durban born travel writer and columnist Darrel Bristow-Bovey released his latest novel, Finding Endurance late last year. The book has flown off shelves in SA, and for good reason. Drawing on literature, natural history, personal memoir and the thrilling epics of polar adventure, the book illustrates how in the face of self-inflicted natural disaster, we can still pull off a miracle or two.

For the stylish dad
Dad’s don’t always know where to start when it comes to their skin. Help your dad find his groove with a simple cleanse, moisturise, and protect routine. The Environ Original Range of products is available from a range of salons nationwide. Opt for the Original Foaming Gel Cleaner, Moisturising Gel and RAD Antioxidant Suncream SPF15.

If you’re thinking a mid-Winter escape, a jolly good option is the The Capital 15 on Orange Hotel & Spa, currently enjoying a Winter Hotspot promotion.
It’s brilliantly situated in Cape Town’s richly historical Gardens, just a short stroll down to vibrant Kloof Street ... think trendiest of cafes, coolest cocktail bars, swishest people. There’s also the Planetarium and the V&A Waterfront a few kilometers away ... so you won’t be short of anything to do.
In fact, you don’t have to go far for a proper treat ... the hotel boasts a great restaurant, pool and bar deck - all of which have views of Table Mountain and Signal Hill, and a gym, and it's also home to The Grotto ... with a moody jungle vibe, you’ll find a spa bar with a curated selection of wellness beverages, hydrotherapy pools, a steam room and sauna, a pola plunge pool (for the brave!) and glorious Serenity Nests - think being swathed in cozy luxury with a choice of meditation or sound therapy. Add to that a menu of spa treatments and packages - think Winter Warmer or Date Night spa treats, with welcome hot drinks and personalised massages, pedis or mineral mist riturals, and luxurious gifts to take home ... it’s the perfect way to spend a chilly day.
There’s a range of accommodation ... from standard rooms to executive suites to one and two bedroom apartments ... we rather like the idea of booking into one of the three fancy pods ... the Moet & Chandon, Glenmorangie or Hennessy Signature Pods are not only super luxurious but you’re also welcomed with the obvious drinks and gormet platters. Bliss.
The special rates - from now until August - start at R2208 per room. There’s a brilliant Winter Hotspot competition running, with prizes of ten two-night stays for two people including breakfast at any of The Capital properties in an entry-level room, as well as vouchers from Nom Nom Jewels, ARC Cosmetics and Corona ... you’ll find the details on the website, thecapital.co.za

The North Face ... and the icons of exploration

Born way back in 1966, The North Face has served the needs of expeditions in the harshest regions in the world. And a few of the items have become icons ... taking on lives of their own. Harnessing cutting-edge technology, innovative design and athlete insights, they were revolutionary. Now, they are iconic, worn and used everywhere from city streets to mountain tops. These include the Himalayan Parka - this ultra-warm parka became the gold standard in high-altitude climbing and cold-weather survival. The Mountain Jacket - worn by the first American team to scale the six classic north faces of the Alps in a single season. The Nuptse - one mile southwest of Everest, five miles up and bitterly cold, this jacket named after the Nuptse summit is famed for its game-changing warmth. The Denali - which made its debut on the backs of Todd Skinner and Paul Piana during their historic, 30-day free climb of Yosemite’s Salathé Wall, where it set a new standard for technical fleece.
And The Duffel - if there could be just one bag to symbolise epic adventures, it’d be this. Made of burly fabrics, and built to be transported by porters, yaks and camels, these hard-wearing gear totes journey everywhere from expedition base camps to urban metropolises.
All of these iconic items, plus so many more desirable garments for adventure or city wear, can be found on www.thenorthface.co.za

We’re giving away a Base Camp Duffel Bag worth R3599 ... tough and practical, with loads of thought-through features - think zipped-end pocket for dirty shoes and wet clothes, mesh pockets, detachable adjustable ergonomic shoulder straps. Use a duffel when in transit, or a backpack when you’re on the move. In a nutshell, it’s an explorer’s best friend.

Indoor trees are a hot décor item, great for creating atmosphere, while mopping up stale air and toxins. There’s probably more than 5 reasons why indoor trees work so well as an indoor décor feature, but here are five that come to mind:

- Indoors or out, trees are a living sculpture. When grown indoors they add a finishing touch to a room or act as a focal point (much as they would do in the garden).
- There’s nothing like living greenery to bring a room to life, especially in winter when everything outside is turning brown.
- The texture of their stems and the various shades of green foliage complement rather than clash with indoor colour schemes. The secret is to match the tree (and its container) to your décor style’.
- They provide height in airy, double volume spaces, fill awkward corners or frame a window.
- Because of the volume of their foliage, indoors trees are particularly effective in purifying stale air and removing toxins.

Tips for indoor trees:
- For even growth turn the container (1/4 turn) every week, to equally expose all sides to the light.
- Re-pot every two years or so into the next sized pot until it reaches the right height, then trim to keep it in proportion to the container.
- Don’t move trees too often as they acclimatise to their surroundings.
- Use room temperature water when watering.
- Whatever you choose, go for show. Let the trees dominate their space. Keep it simple and let there be plenty of air and light around them, so that they stand out.

The names say it all: ‘Pink Kisses,’ ‘ Early Love,’ ‘I love You’ and’ ‘Purple Wedding.’ These pretty and petite pot carnations in romantic shades of pink, blush and purple, come from centuries of cultivation.

The association of carnations with love, fascination and distinction goes back some 2000 years, when they were named ‘the flower of the gods’ by Greek philosopher Theophrastus.

Like roses, many myths and legends surround the carnation, reinforcing its association with romance. They are woven into wedding bouquets and celebratory wreaths and are worn in buttonholes.

Modern pot carnations are compact and bushy, producing masses of bicoloured double flowers above grey-green stems and leaves. They can be planted as a showy border, are ideal for gravel gardens, and are hardy plants for patio containers and hanging baskets. They are perfect gift plants and can be grown indoors.

Unlike the older, taller carnation varieties that need staking and pinching, pot carnations don’t have to be fussed over.

And they're easy to grow!
- Pot carnations needs four to five hours of full sun. Plant in well composted soil that drains well.
- Space plants 30cm apart and plant the crown of the plant level with the surface of the soil. No need to mulch; the stems like to be free of lingering moisture.
- Once established, plants are drought tolerant and should not be over-watered. Let the soil dry out moderately before watering. The roots tend to rot in soggy soil.
- Fertilise once a month and cut back after flowering for a repeat flush of flowers.
- Container grown plants do best with morning sun and afternoon shade. Use a good quality potting soil that drains well and feed with Margaret Roberts Organic
- Supercharger after planting. Plants in containers need more water than those in the garden. Boost growth and flowers with a liquid fertiliser once a month.

A blend wine and music ... a match made in (Nedbank and the Cape Winemakers Guild) heaven Tasting Notes - A Story of Sound and Wine, was launched this week, a collaberation between five Nedbank Cape Winemakers Guild protégés, composers, and neuroscientists to scientifically and creatively use music notes to interact with your brain to enhance the tasting notes of the wine. We know music is a universal language and the right wine can make any experience more pleasurable. We know wine pairs with food.

Cadbury In Our Own Words

Cadbury Dairy Milk is on a mission … to help inspire a love of reading in children, with a library of children’s stories in their mother tongue. “A love of reading is sparked when children see themselves in stories and relate it to their lives, even more so when it is shared in their home language,” says Xolisa Guzula, an early literary specialist. However, the first book many South African children read is not the immersive experience Xolisa describes, as very few are able to enjoy storybooks in their home language. A survey by the Publishers Association SA (2016) highlighted the fact that only 2 per cent of children’s books published commercially in South Africa are in local African languages. And in a country where 80 per cent of the population speak a home language other than English or Afrikaans there are not enough relatable stories available. Cadbury Dairy Milk wants to change this and help inspire a love for reading amongst children. What better way to do this than by creating a library of enchanting children’s stories in their mother tongue. According to Langa Khanyile, Chocolate Equity Lead, Sub Saharan Africa, “Cadbury Dairy Milk has always been a brand that aims to bring people closer together, we are founded in the spirit of generosity and pioneering social impact.” Lara Sidersky, Mondelez SA Category Lead For Chocolate, adds, “That is why we want to impact the future of our children and are asking all South Africans to generously translate just one word to help co-author a library of children’s stories in African languages. We believe there’s a glass and a half of goodness in all South Africans and can’t wait to see what they share.’’ With this small act of generosity, everyone can help Cadbury Dairy Milk and Nal’ibali realise the goal of co-authoring 1500 children’s stories in African languages by 2023. By simply sharing one word as part of the In Our Own Words initiative, South Africans will be part of the change.

All your man needs to look and feel his best Jules Dedet, the renowned street artist, is the aptly chosen face of this new Jimmy Choo Urban Hero fragrance – a nod to the confident, mysterious man with a hint of rebellion. It gives off intense woody notes, think grey amber and leather accord, which mix with warm black pepper and sensual rosewood, and fresh lemon caviar.

From R1299, from Truworths, Edgars, Foschini, Dis-Chem and Clicks. • Bentley Momentum Unlimited is as lush as the sleek interior of a Bentley motorcar! The first rev is a burst of bracing grapefruit and tart green apple, with the citrusy brightness of cardamom. As it reaches cruising altitude, the heart notes take a new direction, with the wood and leather notes inspired by the luxurious interior of Bentley cars. After that, it’s all skin musks and ambroxan, a quintessentially masculine ambery note. You’ll find it at Truworths and Dis-Chem, for R1499. • What is it with men’s products? They’re all easy-to-use, multipurpose, two-in-one … we should take lessons. The Glow Man is a two-in-one (obviously) body wash and peeling glove. Oh. And it has an ergonomic shape. Because … boys!
