- A Vintage Tale: Get dad to go retro (he’ll love it!) with a vintage mandarin-collar shirt. Ladies, don’t forget to grab some for yourself as well. They have everything from sweaters, skirts, jackets and even Tartan suits.
- Artifella Design: Artifella Design brings in its popular Colatotte range of products. Both stylish and full of health benefits, these products are made from anisotropic permanent magnets which help to improve blood circulation and relieve body stiffness. Available as wristbands, knee and elbow guards and even pillows, regular contact with this special magnet helps to manage body pain, boost your energy levels, reduce joint inflammations and improve quality of sleep and mental concentration. Dad will feel like a new man thanks to Artifella Design!
