Style File: Father's Day Gift Ideas

Neck-ties, golf clubs and dress shirts. Sure, they're nice, but why not treat your dad to something different this Father’s Day?

The Boston Harbor Hotel is rolling out the red carpet with a dad's day package in their delux spa.

"It’s really a great experience I have seen more men get hooked on spa services just by experiencing it," Boston Harbor Hotel Travis Umpleby said.

For $175, dad gets a pedicure, facial, gift box full of goodies and have complete access to the fitness center for day.

"I’ll have to ask for this for next fathers day," one dad said.

If a back yard barbecue is what your father fancies, let him be the envy of the neighborhood with the ultimate barbecue tool kit from Brookstone.

"It’s the best gift that we have in terms of the BBQ'ing father. It covers everything you need to make your backyard pleasure enjoyable for Father’s Day," Norman Elliott of Brookstone said.

The kit comes complete with an electronic-temperature reading meat fork, a light for night grilling and every other tool that you may need to make your grilling great.

"It’s the perfect gift," Elliott said.

If you are bringing your dad to the Father’s Day Red Sox game, he's in for an extra special surprise.

"We have a gorgeous lawn that has been revered for generations so we say why not come out and play catch," Dr. Charles Steinberg of the Boston Red Sox said.
