Happy Father’s Day

By Babs Rodriguez

Dad might say that he thinks it’s a hokey holiday. Perhaps he claims that he has all the material goods he will ever need in life. What is most likely true is that he really doesn’t want you to spend any money on him. But if you choose wisely, he will, for once, be glad that he didn’t win.

Fathers always appreciate the gift of time, but if you are not going to help him to clean out the garage, here’s an option that doesn’t involve breaking a sweat. Check out the Norqain line of fine Swiss timepieces and take advantage of a raffle to win an Adventure Sport. Customize the engraving plate on the side of the casing for Dad (and yourself, should you win). Haltom’s Jewelers hosts the Norqain brand-debut event, which includes wine and nibbles from 5:30 to 7 p.m. June 16 at the Grapevine store; all proceeds will benefit the charities of the Colleyville Rotary Club. Raffle ticket sales culminate at the evening event.

Adventure Sport Watch, $1,990; raffle tickets, $20, Haltom’s Jewelers

If your father’s way of making troubles disappear has always impressed you, why not invite him to take his craft to a new level with an online MasterClass in problem-solving taught by Emmy Award-winning scientist Bill Nye. Or maybe he’d like some magical insights from Penn & Teller in their first-ever class. There are lessons in everything from gardening to philosophy, all taught by big-name instructors. From $15/month, masterclass.com

Another timely gift for the fellow who taught you the importance of being tech-savvy is the Series 7 Apple Watch. The durable multitasker gets high marks as a fitness partner, and myriad band choices make it fashion-forward, too. From $399, Apple
