Track this
It’s waterproof and can be worn to the gym. Gift this pair of track pants to daddy if you want to send him subtle hints that he should hit the gym. The picture here is not very flattering, but then I am not as proficient with the camera that I though I was

Money wise
Since most dads seem to love cars and bikes or are always talking about cleanliness of room/car/bike/ windows, here’s a gift for him: the Bosch Aquatak 100 PLUS. It’s a high-powered washer that he can have fun using

Umbrella
If you’re standing in the rain and want to sing “You can stand under my umberella,” then all you have to do is buy one. The Bombay Store has newsprint umbrellas and this interesting print is what I sort of fancied

Warm jacket
In colours like ice blue and lime green, this water-proof jacket can also be used in the cold winter that Pune experiences. The furry hood can be a deterrent, but the jacket is really smart, try it on

Wash up
This shower gel can be used on the hair as well as the body for those in a hurry. It has a rich spicy fragrance and lasts for quite a while after you’ve exited the shower

Ear the rain
Set in silver, this pair of earrings from Anokhi look like they are a cluster of raindrops. A perfect accessory to sport this season. The main raindrop is purplish pink so, team it with with a nice white outfit and go dancing in the rain

Bata ballerina
This is no time for leather pumps, even if you’re Lady Gaga. You’ll only injure yourself by slipping on wet tiles and then get sick leave. So, tragic as it is, it’s time to wrap those leather shoes and let them relax. Wear pink shoes like these if you must
Available at Bata, M G Road
Rs 299 |
