It’s a week until Father’s Day and you still haven’t found pop a present?
D’oh!
Luckily, all is not lost.
The Post has located many practical Father’s Day gifts that will please dad — and not break your wallet. Plus, you don’t have to leave home or the office to shop for most of them since many are available online.
HAIR: Dads who still flaunt a full head of hair will love Allure Day Spa and Hair Design’s aromatherapy hair and scalp treatment. Purchase gift certificates by June 17 and get great savings on this and many other spa treatments. (Hair and scalp treatment are $45, down from $90. Call [212] 644-5500 for information.)
EARS: Make your music-loving dad a personalized CD of his favorite songs by logging on to Imix.com, which allows you to choose from a mix of 300 tunes. After you’ve created your own title, message and cover for the finished product, your present gets shipped within 24 hours. (CDs are priced according to number of songs. Most run about $20 and there’s a $5.99 shipping price. )
FACE: Not only does the Braun Syncro System electric shaver promise to give dad the closest shave he’s ever had, it cleans itself, too: All he has to do is drop the device into its special Clean&Charge chamber, where its four rotating heads are cleaned and conditioned and its batteries charged. Depending on features, it retails for $140 to $200 and can be found on http://www.braun.com. More traditional shavers might like a few beard helpers from Kiehl’s like the Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream and bottles of Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion (which tames razor burn). (Available at Kiehl’s and Saks Fifth Avenue for $13.50, $20.50, respectively).
NECK: Remember all those ties you gave him on past Fathers’ Days? Well, help Dad organize them Sharper Image’s Quiet Power tie rack. Ties hang on an oval rack that rotates to help him find the tie he’s looking for. Best of all, Dad only needs to give up 5″ of his closet space to the gizmo, which holds up to 72 ties. (It’s $59.99 at Sharper Image stores or at http://www.sharperimage.com.)
BODY: For back pains, consider a body treatments at SoHo’s new Life is Beautiful spa, which offers a “Get Me Going” Swedish massage and reflexology foot treatments. (One hour sessions are $75 and $60, respectively. Call [212] 475-1431 for info.)
BELLY: If, like Homer Simpson, your dad’s bag is beer, you might want to consider gifting him a MicroBrew Kit. The kit contains all the ingredients needed to make one of three beer flavors, including Export Ale, Nut Brown, and Porter recipes. Teetotalers or dads watching their waists might need to stick with “Beer: A Connoisseur’s Guide” by Christopher Finch. The 228-page illustrated book features the best brews around the globe. (Availabel at http://www.redenvelope.com for $29.95 and $35.)
BACK: Almost any dad would love a made-to-order shirt from the Custom Shop. The store, with five area locations, honors gift certificates of any amount (most run about $100). Shirts are sewn to his specifications from one of 200 different fabrics, such as pinpoint Oxford and two-ply Egyptian broadcloth. (Call [212] 867-3650.)
BACK POCKET: So this was the year he finally got himself wired? Help him carry his new electronic organizer in a sleek leather holder from Coach. It holds a Palm V to a T. (It’s $78 at Coach stores or http://www.coach.com.)
FEET: Score your exec dad a classic wooden shoeshine stocked with everything he needs to keep his wingtips ship-shape, including four horsehair brushes, Kiwi shoe polish in black and brown, buffing clothes and extra shoe laces. (It’s $65 at http://www.redenvelope.com). While his shoes are drying, dad might want a pair of slippers. We like the ones at http://www.AsianIdeas.com, where Chinese “Zori” sandals are priced a mere $8.
