"My husband and I both love Filson bags, and I think it's time we start my dad's collectsion. They're indestructible and timelessly chic. For something a little less practical, my dad is a huge Bob Dylan fan (who isn’t?), and he loves these photographs of rock stars in their prime—he could never have too many."

“My dad went on African safari a few years back and came home with armloads of photographs, a head full of stories, and a promise to himself to go again, so I thought bringing a bit of Africa to him, like adopting a giraffe, would make his day. I also think he needs a better camera for the next trip (one that doesn’t allow for red eye), and this old-school Leica in the classic case would be not only perfect, but very stylish.”

“My dad has pretty formal tastes when it comes to dressing and has never worn a pair of jeans in his life. I like that these brogues have a flash of color on the sole because he would never pick them himself, but I know if I bought them, he’d wear them. And a children's book by one of Nigeria's most famous authors—my dad is Nigerian and loves nothing more than to spend time with his three-year-old grandson, Sachin. This is for when Sachin pays a visit."

“At 76, my dad wasn’t exactly an early adopter of technology. In fact, I believe/know he still has a dictaphone. A few years back, however, I turned him on to the pleasures of e-mail (or receiving e-mails, anyway), and I now spend a lot of time explaining things like the word “browser” and “download.” But I do love that enthusiasm, so I am taking him up a notch by buying him a new iPad. It’s simple, he can take it with him everywhere, and I am going to trick it out with some really dad-friendly apps.”
