Fragrance
Take time to examine the brand and fragrance of the products available in the shops. Choose one that you think suits his style. Prices of male fragrances range between sh30,000 to sh200,000 in shops around town.

Wine/whiskey
Fathers love to relax in the evening sipping their favourite drink. If a bottle of wine or whiskey is what makes him happy, then pick him a bottle. Good wines cost between sh20,000 and above. For whiskey, you may have to part with a lot more than that.

Car accessories
Most men have a close bond with their cars. Get him seat covers, for example, or a steering wheel cover or a cleaning kit. Alternatively, buy individual items like car freshener or car shampoo.

Travel set
If he travels a lot, a travel bag will do just fine. If he goes to the gym regularly, get him a trendy, sporty gym bag. They cost about sh20,000.

Surprises
Get together with your mum, and plan something special for the day. Start with breakfast in bed and present a gift to him after that. End the day with a well cooked meal. This will make him feel appreciated. Alternatively, take him out to dinner. This will let you have quality time with him.

Treat at the spa
Just like women, your dad needs grooming. Make an appointment for him, or get a voucher to visit the spa.
Let it be his time to be pampered.

Theme gifts
Show appreciation for your dad with a personalised gift. It could be a wood plaque, a clock or coffee mug. Alternatively add his photograph to a personalised picture frame. Gifts like this cost between sh15,000 and 50,000.

Classic gifts
Wallets, belts in pure leather; cufflinks and neckties are gifts that have stood the test of time.
