Scentuals has been making aromatherapy and skin and body care products with natural, cruelty-free, and ethically sourced ingredients since 2008. Now’s an excellent time to check out their new Invigorate Men’s Line of organic and natural products for Dad! May we suggest a set of facial cream and serum for some luxurious skin care? Each is made with moisturizing and enriching ingredients like shea butter, organic aloe juice, and organic argan, camellia seed, and sweet almond oils.

Or if Dad’s growing a pandemic beard, how about a bottle of Scentuals’ Invigorate beard oil. Lightly scented with warm amyris, sandalwood and vanilla, this lightweight, non-greasy formula contains a nourishing blend of organic argan, jojoba, coconut and safflower oils to soften and hydrate his beard and the skin beneath. I love the smell of this! Throw in a nice beard comb and scissors for a wonderfully pampering Father’s Day gift.

Scentuals has been a vital part of our local community for years, and during the current pandemic, they’ve been leaning in to support local healthcare and essential service workers with donations of free hand sanitizer and Scentfree Hand Repair Cream. Thank you for pitching in!

With all of us doing more cooking at home, Dad will appreciate a new multi-function griddle. Cook pancakes, eggs, bacon, steaks, burgers, fajitas, and more on this versatile Hamilton Beach 3-in-one model that serves as a griddle, grill, or grill/griddle combo! The nonstick, PFOA-free cooking plates are removable and reversible, and each has an independent temperature control so Dad can customize his set-up for whatever’s on the menu. The cooking plates and grease tray are both dishwasher safe so cleanup is a breeze too.

Munchkin is a card game for the whole family – a humorous take on role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. The cards are full of dad jokes like the Broad Sword that can only be wielded by female players, and monsters like the “Maul” Rat that whacks you with a giant hammer. This is one game Dad won’t mind playing over and over and over again with the kids.
