Gifts for fathers

MANILA, Philippines?Every morning my husband plays with our baby Benito while I work on the breast pump. He carries Benito when it is time for the yaya to eat her dinner. In fact, people get surprised when they hear that Paolo changes Benito?s diaper. I find it funny because, at home, pitching in is really second nature to my husband.

So, for Father?s Day, I will treat him to a Clarins massage. And for my peace of mind, I?ll also buy him more SPF products that he can use when he?s out playing golf. Happy Father?s Day!

Amina Aranaz-Alunan on husband Rafa

?I ALWAYS knew Rafa would be a great father. His funny child-like nature has always been one of his strengths! He is wonderful with Lucas, very playful, loving and doting in spite of his busy schedule! During our recent vacation, our parental skills were truly put to the test as we travelled without a yaya! As a treat, this Father?s Day, I would like to give him a ?self-pampering kit? filled with products from Clarins, Murad, L?Occitane and Clean, and topped off with a bottle of Acca Kappa eau de toilette.?

Olivia Francisco on dad Lito

?MY DAD is special to me because he has everything there is to look for in a dad. From him I learned value for work, passion for sports and hobbies, respect for friends and colleagues, and real love and devotion for family.

I got him Thierry Mugler cologne cause I love its light fresh scent. I hope he enjoys it!?

Kat Tantoco-Lobregat on husband Paolo

?I LOVE him because... he?s my best friend, he?s a great companion, fun to be around, an amazing dad. The list could go on... My gift for him is a Inis Nobile Acqua Di Parma Perfume?

Bea Montecon on dad Bito

?I LOVE my dad because we have the same shallow sense of humor. He totally gets me, that?s why we get along so well. He?s the best! For Father?s Day, I?ll give him Pond?s Age Miracle Cream, because he uses it and I know he just ran out of it.?

Erica Paredes on dad Jim

?I LOVE my dad because he never gave up on me, never doubted me and has loved me even when I was the hardest person to love. He taught me a lot of lessons by example, and has helped me through the many situations I got myself into throughout my life. I never felt like he looked down on me or didn?t take me seriously, even when I was a child. Now, our relationship is a good mix of parent-child and friend. I can talk to him about anything without feeling embarrassed or scared. He?s a super cool dad. He?s been a father figure even to my close friends. He likes to meditate so I?m giving him a Dyptique candle for Father?s Day to help him relax and get in the zone.?

Gec Chia on dad George

?I AM truly appreciative of all the support and understanding my dad has given me over the years. He has served to be an inspiration to me and my family. I am blessed to be his son. I plan to give him my personal favorite: Gendarme Perfume. I also want to give him Thierry Mugler perfume and Hierbes di Ibiza so he has a variety of perfumes to choose from.?
