Father’s Day Gift Guide 2010!

Welcome to the Raging Rouge Father’s Day Gift Guide!  If you’re stumped about what to buy Dad for Father’s Day, you’ve come to the right place! Don’t forget that Father’s Day is on June 20th, so you should place any online orders immediately!

	Kenzo fragrances are always a favorite choice, and the Kenzo Eau Par Kenzo Pour Homme Father’s Day Gift Set is the perfect pick for the strong, silent type. Citrusy and sensual, this must-have from Kenzo will speak volumes for him! The best part about buying a Kenzo gift set is the price is exactly the same as buying a stand-alone 3.4 oz bottle of fragrance. It’s like getting the full-sized shower gel for free! Click HERE to check it out at KenzoUSA.com.
	Dad can’t exactly powder his nose to reduce shine, so if excess oil is an issue, the Sea Clear Oil Management System by H2O+ is a great skincare gift!  From a foamy, pore-refining cleanser to a mattifying toner, Dad’s skin will never look better!  Retail price for the Oasis Shine-Free Hydration System by H2O+ is $38.  Click HERE to check it out.  You can even add on to the kit with a 10-minute deep cleansing Mud Mask!
	For an eco-conscious Dad, the brand you shop should be Pangea Organics.  Not only is the packaging made from 100% post-consumer paper, but organic seeds that are plantable!  Don’t recycle the package, just soak the box in water for a minute and plant it! The Tunisian Olive Oil & Coconut soap is gentle, moisturizing and only $6.99 per bar!  Click HERE to buy it from PangeaOrganics.com.
	The hipster Dad deserves a fragrance as modern as he is. and the latest by Express fits the bill.  The recently launched “Honor” has a citrusy energetic zing and a lingering musky masculinity.  Top notes:  fresh water accord, peppermint and basil.  Heart notes:  grapefruit, fig and green ivy.  Base notes:  musk, vetiver and a hint of vanilla.1.7 oz. bottle is $44.90 and a 3.4 oz. bottle is $59.90.  Click HERE to buy it from Express.com.
	Products from The Real Shaving Company are great gift choices for Dad!  My husband loves the super-thin consistency of the shave gel, and the ultra moisturizing formula leaves his skin feeling baby-soft post shave!  Best pf all, the formula is paraben-free!  The Real Shaving Company is available at many drugstores, including Duane Reade and Rite Aid… so you can grab a gift for Dad while you run your errands!  Retail price for each is a mere $5.99.  Click HERE to visit realshaving.com to find a retailer near you.
	C.O. Bigelow’s Apothecary-inspired products are a great choice for the no-nonsense Dad in your life who likes things “just so”.  C.O. Bigelow’s “Barber Collection” includes various “Elixirs” named by color.  Elixir Green cologne is a woodsy scent sure to please Dad (and only $19.50!).  I’m also very fond of the Hair and Body Wash ($10).  It can be used all over in the shower, and a muted scent lingers…  It’s wonderful!  Click HERE for store locations
	If Dad’s got a major case of the wanderlust, or if you’re buying on a budget, then look no further than the tiny zen-like Kenzo Ryoko!  This small pebble-shaped bottle is great for travel, and a 0.7 oz. spray bottle retails for only $29.Click HERE to check it out at KenzoUSA.com.
	For a bit of “old world” charm–as well as a luxe splurge–Anthony Logistics offers the “Whisker Lifter”, a cruelty-free brush that lifts beard hairs away from the skin pre-shave. Anthony’s Whisker Lifter retails for $80 and can be found online at Anthony Logistics, or Sephora.com. What a great gift for the shaving enthusiast!
	When in doubt… let him pick it out!  Unlike other gift certificates, Sephora’s Collector’s Edition Fragrance Sampler is actually a wrappable gift in itself, filled with deluxe samples of Canali, Diesel, DKNYMEN, Givenchy Play, Guerlaine Homme, Ralph Lauren Polo Black and Versace.  Dad can sample them all, and when he chooses a favorite he can head over to Sephora with the enclosed voucher to exchange it for a full-sized bottle!  Click HERE to buy it at Sephora.com
