He is our anchor, our strongest admirer, our staunchest critic, our greatest ally, our unrelenting mentor, our loyal defender. This writer could go on and on describing him using different adjectives and superlatives but at the end of the day he is that man that goes by the name “daddy.”
The role that a father plays to a child—from the time of birth up to the moment the child reaches adulthood—is crucial, critical and not at all easy. Therefore, it is only fitting to give him the accolade, gratitude and tribute that he rightfully deserves.
As we celebrate Father’s Day tomorrow and pay tribute to the most important man in our lives, Inquirer Property provides readers some gift ideas to consider, gifts that are truly fit for the hardworking and ever reliable king.

X-O Rust Paint & Primer In One

Gear Ties would allow dad to organize nearly anything from a small cord or cable to large sporting goods equipment. Twist it, Tie it, Reuse it.
Apollo Precision Tools
Perfect tool for any father who is into fixing stuff and repairing items at home. The 53-piece set from Apollo Precision Tools provides all the tools necessary for most repairs around the home.

Alarm Clock
Just what dad needed to ensure that he makes it to the meeting on time. The cased analog alarm clock available at all Muji stores is compact, handy, and can be easily packed, just like how dad likes his things.
LED Torch
Every man needs a flashlight. Give dad something he could use in the garage, around the house or just about anywhere he goes. (Available at Muji, Power Plant Mall)
Wall-mounted CD player with radio
It has built-in speakers that are deceptively loud and a power cord that doubles as an on/off switch. This impressive sound gadget is one of Muji’s brilliant products in store. But more than being an entertainment display, the Muji CD player represents design ingenuity as it has received recognitions worldwide. In 2002, it received the German iF Gold award and D&AD Award while in 2005 it was added in the permanent collection of New York’s Museaum of Modern Art (moMA). How’s that for having a functional piece of art for dad’s entertainment in the confines of his own home.
