Father's Day grooming gifts to present a moment of self-care

Father's Day—it's the perfect time to show our appreciation for the dads, grandfathers and father figures who support and shape our lives. But finding the right gift can be a challenge, especially for the man who has everything. This year, consider swapping out the usual socks or gadgets for something a little more indulgent: self-care gifts that combine style, substance and sophistication. Whether he's a grooming enthusiast or simply deserves some TLC, a well-chosen skincare hero or stand-out scent is a thoughtful way to elevate his daily routine.
Does he enjoy bold, energetic scents? The vibrant notes of Ralph Lauren's Polo 67 or Rabanne's arresting Million Gold should hit the mark. Looking to upgrade his skincare game? Stop at a sensorially rewarding and hard-working formula like Aesop's Lucent Facial Refiner or Origins' Ginzing Gel Cream.
Meanwhile, design-forward dads will treasure the sleek minimalism of Sachajuan or Le Labo on their shelf. The latter is a one-way ticket to elevated ambience—as is the olfactory whirl of Frédéric Malle's Essential Coffret, scented novelty in a box.
Guaranteed to please even the most discerning men in our lives, read on for Vogue Singapore's edit of grooming gifts that will make any father's day: Courtesy of Ralph Lauren

Clawing to freedom: New York restaurant releases 110-year-old lobster to the sea

New York restaurant owner Butch Yamali holding on to Lorenzo as he makes his way to release the lobster. PHOTO: PETER'S CLAM BAR/FACEBOOK Clawing to freedom: New York restaurant releases 110-year-old lobster to the sea A lobster estimated to be more than 100 years old is living its best life after being pardoned by two American officials and released into the ocean. The release of the 9.5kg 110-year-old crustacean named Lorenzo – a beloved mascot at Peter's Clam Bar in Long Island, New York – was held on June 12 in conjunction with National Lobster Day and Father's Day. He was earlier pardoned by Hempstead town supervisor Don Clavin and Nassau County legislator John Ferretti, according to reports by the US media. Broadcaster WNBC reported that Lorenzo then travelled to Atlantic Beach Reef with a full escort on a boat. Broadcaster NBC New York quoted Mr Clavin as saying: 'I can't think of a better way to celebrate National Lobster Month than by pardoning Lorenzo and sending him off to enjoy retirement in the Atlantic.' According to Peter's Clam Bar owner Butch Yamali, Lorenzo had been living at the eatery for years. 'Lorenzo just kind of slipped through the cracks and ended up in our tank for years,' Mr Yamali told New York City television station WPIX-TV. 'Some of these lobsters just don't live that long, and this one did. So we figured what better way to celebrate Father's Day than by freeing Lorenzo. He became like a pet. People would come see him and take pictures with him, and he was just an object of the store.' Mr Yamali said he was happy to be able to give Lorenzo a second chance at life in the sea. 'He's going to be missed, but I think it's better like this. If he passed away here, it wouldn't be a good thing, and I couldn't have the heart to sell him,' he said. A June 13 Facebook post by Peter's Clam Bar said Lorenzo is now 'living his best life – clawing his way to freedom and soaking up the salty breeze (instead of butter)'.

Lilo & Stitch actor David Hekili Kenui Bell dies aged 46, Entertainment News

Lilo + Stitch star David Hekili Kenui Bell has died aged 46. The actor, who played Big Hawaiian Dude in the 2025 live-action remake of the movie, Lilo & Stitch has died, his sister, Jalene Kanani Bell, confirmed on Sunday (June 15). She wrote on her Facebook account: "It is with a heavy heart that I share that my sweet, generous, talented, funny, brilliant and handsome little brother David H. K. Bell will spend today in the company of our Heavenly Father. I've been waiting for the words and mindset to properly express the joy of a human, and Prince of a Man he was, but fate pushed my hand this morning by a pre-scheduled Father's Day newsletter honoring the men in our lives. "I met my little brother at the age of 18, on my high school graduation day, it was the most amazing surprise which I had been asking for years, that our mom's made happen for us, and that gift has lasted a lifetime. "While I didn't grow up with a father, David gave me all the unconditional love I could possibly ask for and I believe that all his family and friends received the same from him. He was always so proud of me, his nieces and his grandnephew, constantly engaged and always coming up with fun activities to get-together. We looked forward to going to Tahiti and the Lindsey reunion together to create more family connections." Jalene also shared how just two weeks ago, David bought the "best seats in the house" for his family to watch him in Lilo & Stitch at the cinema. She added: "David loved being an actor, doing voiceovers, spending time with Brutus travelling as an ambassador for Kona Brew. The film industry and entertainment were so exciting to him, and I loved that he enjoyed the arts. He went to Punahou and Kalani while our dad spoke Hawaiian so his ability to deliver lines with English understanding, Indigenous knowledge and Pidgen to da Max… made him a diamond in the rough. "You can hear him over the PA system on arrival at Kona Airport where he loved working to create an awesome and safe customer experience. "He was and will remain a bright and shining star. He recently made it onto the big screen with an iconic Lilo & Stitch moment. "He planned ahead and purchased the best seats in the house for us all to go together to opening night in Kapolei just two short weeks ago. That's one trait we didn't share, planning ahead. We talked about and were so energised by the fans dressed in Lilo & Stitch gear head to toe, T-shirts, one zees, hats, masks, and the merch galore flying off the shelf as we stood in line for popcorn. "I said we should get shave ice after the movie and reenact the screen but then realised the store was already closed. To celebrate him and try to ease our grief we went to get shave ice and my grandson's emotions were on point. "To Aunty Gerry and the Kenui 'Ohana you raised an amazing human who became the most loving and supportive man in my life, and I am eternally grateful. I share this grief with our older sister Kehau Bell, and my younger sister, Lara Leimana, who while not a Bell, loved and adored him as her own. "He enjoyed social media and I'll be resharing some of my favourite posts he made, and some I am just seeing for the first time that I missed, because they are so funny and heartwarming. "Hug your loved ones today... our last time together after returning home from the movie was just sitting on my living room couch telling stories about life, having a seltzer and doing a little genealogy. Blessed by this and all the big and small moments, I will keep our memories alive." [[nid:719186]]

Aaron Kwok confirms wife Moka Fang is pregnant with third child

Yes, those baby rumours are true. Aaron Kwok took to the occasion, Father's Day on Sunday (Jun 15), to address the speculations, sharing that he and his wife Moka Fang, 37, are expecting their third child. The couple already have two children together: Chantelle, seven, and Charlotte, five. While attending a promotional event for his new film My First Of May, Heavenly King Kwok was asked if had any good news to share. He chuckled and admitted: 'I'm going to be a daddy again. This is happy news – I won't go into too much detail. I've always said, the more children at home, the livelier it is – and I love a lively home! I think it's wonderful.' When asked further about the news, he explained: 'It's not that I don't want to talk about it, but I'm always working. And today happens to be Father's Day." 'Like I always say, it's all about the right timing and environment. I love lively households and am more than willing to receive this gift. I'm very thankful to the heavens.' Regarding the baby's gender, Kwok said that he'll "accept whatever comes", and that his two daughters 'kind of know' they will have a younger sibling. Interestingly, Hong Kong actor Alex Fong also announced that his wife is expecting. Kwok said: 'Congratulations to him! And I'm going to be a dad again – I'm very happy.' The pregnancy rumours sparked in May after Fang shared Mother's Day pictures wearing a loose-fitting dress and having a bit of a baby bump. Speculation fuelled when Kwok gave a vague reply when asked about the rumours: 'I have always believed that children are a gift from God. This is something to be grateful for, and I will not respond too much.' This story was originally published in 8Days.
