HEALTH

WATCH
- The Polar Vantage V2, £449, polar.com/uk – buy now
This is a great bit of kit. The Polar Vantage V2 is a waterproof, multisport watch with wrist-band heart rate, GPS, performance tests and recovery tracking.
The app tells you if you are overtraining and you can get alerts on your watch while you are out for a run.
It also monitors your sleep. A brilliant all-rounder.
And the best bit? It’s unisex so the whole family can try it out. I love it.
GADGET
The Freetrain V1 vest is a genius idea if your dad likes to run as it stores a phone, cards and keys[/caption]- Freetrain V1 vest, £29.99, freetrain.co.uk – buy now
If you’ve seen people jogging with odd-looking straps on the front of their chest, it is probably a Freetrain vest.
If you know a bloke who likes running, then this is a genius idea – a vest that stores your phone, card and keys while you run.
You can swiftly unclip a button on your chest to flip it open to get to your phone for easy access to your music, maps and messages.
Brilliant idea.
JOE WICKS

Its new gear includes a Metal Vent Tech Short Sleeve 2.0 top which has technology to inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria on the fabric.
Perfect for running or doing a Joe workout.

BUDGET
- Ted Baker, Bath and Body Washbag Set, £9 (was £18), boots.com – buy now
Bath and body gift set containing a 250ml hair and body wash as well as a 150ml body spray.
The set comes in a stylish leather-effect washbag, which looks far more expensive than it is and is fantastic quality.
Your dad would never guess it costs under a tenner.
MID-RANGE
- Rituals, Invigorating Ritual Medium Gift Set, £29.90, boots.com – buy now
Four products presented in a lovely keepsake box. Contains two foaming shower gels, a shave cream and a body moisturiser.
All feature the Ritual Of Samurai signature fragrance.
The products smell gorgeous.
Value of the products inside is £33.50 – so it is a few pounds cheaper to buy this set than the individual products, plus they are all presented together beautifully in the gift box.
LUXURY
- Acqua di Parma, Father’s Day Colonia Fragrance Gift Set, £113.00, johnlewis.com – buy now
An exclusive Father’s Day gift set containing Acqua di Parma’s iconic Colonia fragrance as well as a bath and shower gel of the same scent.

Comes in a special travel pouch and decorative sleeve with “per papa” on the front.
Colonia is Acqua di Parma’s original and most famous scent. It is light, fresh and citrusy and an all-round wonderful fragrance.
The cologne alone costs £113, so you are getting value out of the bath and shower gel and travel pouch that is also included.
