For the Stylin’ Pops
Father’s Day nicely coincides with summer, so some handsome beach attire might be in order. Dad is sure to look cool in these swim trunks from Orlebar Brown+ — even as he attempts to explain why the fish must be in another part of the lake that day.

For the Sports Fanatic Pops
Last year, ESPN took the athletic world by storm with their unprecedented 30 For 30 film project, in which 30 directors (including Oscar-winner Barry Levinson, Jon Singleton and Ice Cube) shot their own sports documentary. With more than 2000 minutes of total viewing material and a slew of special features included on each DVD, this 12-disc set will have dad glued to the flatscreen — and best of all, he’ll be watching something other than The Red Green Show.

This meal fit for your king includes: a delectable starter plate of Crostino Funghi Mushroom Toast; a rich main course of Insalata e Bistecca Steak Salad topped with cherry tomatoes and fresh gorgonzola; and a bowl of rich Tiramisu for dessert.

For the Well-Groomed Pops
Ideally, your Father’s Day present should make dad thankful to be a man. Frederic Malle, a leading name in fine cologne, has infused four of its classic fragrances into a most satisfying body wash. Before now, it seemed impossible to use a loofa and still manage to smell rugged, but hey — we live in the 21st century, after all.

Happy Father’s Day, from all the sons and daughters at Seattleite!
