Father's Day Gift Guide 2025: The Best Luxury Hotel Gifts
These salmon flies are hand-tied in Scotland and sold by the Fife Arms. Luxury hotels are used to catering for - and enchanting - a clientele who are used to having the best of everything. Their superb curation of experiences also extends to their boutiques. Here are some of the best gifts to treat the father in your life. This Edinburgh hotel has opened a shop that shares its Victorian aesthetic. Edinburgh's most experiential hotel - The Witchery- has linked up with the city's most famous leather goods specialist MacKenzie. Inspired by the hotel's exuberant Victoriana, the Gladstone Overnight Travel Bag (£1595) combines leather and brass fittings with the finest Scottish, fully waterproofed canvas. Designed for weekend breaks, the large main compartment has a pocket suitable for a small laptop or a wash bag. The base is reinforced, and solid brass feet keep it off the ground, ensuring your bag is fit to take you on a lifetime of adventures. Bamford London has produced a new watch for the Hotel du-Cap-Eden-Roc on France's Cote d'Azur. Just in time for Father's Day, Hotel du-Cap-Eden-Roc has launched the Bamford Riviera Watch – a limited-edition collaboration between the iconic hotel in Antibes and the luxury watch company Bamford London. This sleek timepiece comes in three Mediterranean-inspired hues: Sea Blue, Sky Blue, or White. With its stainless-steel casing, self-winding movement, waterproof design, and the iconic Eden-Roc lifebuoy detailing the second hand. The Claridge's Cocktail Gift Set will help your father get a taste for Fumoir, Claridge's famous bar. Revisit - or anticipate - a trip to Fumoir, Claridge's justly venerated cocktail bar with this Claridge's Cocktail Gift Set (£175.00). A deeply delicious dive into the hotel's Jazz Age (see also the hotel's Bright Young Things Sleepover package). The set comes with two ready-mixed bottles of Fumoir's Old Fashioned and Negroni. The gift also contains a copy of Claridge's The Cocktail Book, plus olives and mixed nuts, wrapped up in a gift box with ribbons and a fully authentic sense of indulgence. Taurus is the new blended whisky from the Torridon hotel in Scotland. One of Scotland's best-kept hotel secrets, the family-run Torridon hotel in Wester Ross has just launched the limited edition Taurus Whisky (£125). Blending a two-grain whisky with a single malt, with hints of aged apple, stone fruits and vanilla, Taurus Whisky is a labour of love born from The Torridon's owner, Dan Bristow and his best friend Hamish, who hails from a distinguished distilling family. Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland Since it opened a century ago, Scotland's most famous hotel has been known as the Glorious Playground. With the opening of the Gleneagles Sporting Club, there's even more reason to love Gleneagles. Produced in Scotland with 100% Lambswool Shetland Cloth and inspired by the surrounding Ochil Hills, the Tweed Flat Cap (£130) comes in three sizes and is tailor-made for strolls across the countryside. The Newt has a new collaboration with the cult Niwaki producer of garden implements. In a particularly apt cross-pollination, Somerset's acclaimed Newt hotel and gardens in Somerset has joined forces with the cult Niwaki garden tool company. A blend of horticultural expertise with Japanese craftsmanship, the range includes the Niwake Samue jacket in Newt green and the Hori Hori tool (£38), a gardening tool for digging, weeding, and planting bulbs, engraved with The Newt's logo and accompanied by a custom canvas sheath. The Fife Arms in Braemar has showcased Scottish crafts since opening in 2018. Yes, Scotland is strongly featured on this list, but its craft traditions are currently in a very sweet spot that utilises both heritage skills and innovation. The Fife Arms has been instrumental in championing these. Based on the River Dee, TwinPeakes is dedicated to the art of fly fishing and has created a collection of bespoke salmon flies most suited to Highland fishing spots. The Fife Arms Salmon Fishing Tin (£145) has nine flies that are each individually hand-tied in Scotland using a palette of the Fife Arms colours. For different conditions in the season, the flies are presented in an engraved aluminium fly tin made by renowned fly tin maker Richard Wheatley Ltd and lined with sustainable British wool. These cricket socks epitomise Estelle Manor's playful approach to its boutique's offering There's nothing wrong with socks as a Father's Day gift, especially if they come from Estelle Manor, the ultra-hip Oxfordshire members' club and hotel. These nicely retro Estelle Manor cricket socks (£20) will multitask for other sports too and have plum detailing. The Hoxton has collaborated with Barc London to produce matching sweaters for dogs and their humans. For all the dog dads out there, the Hoxton Hotel group has collaborated with Barc London to produce a collection of matching knits. With two patterns - Out of Office and Holiday Club - using the colour palette of the global Hoxton group, each jumper helps support local dog shelters with a 10 per cent donation from the profits. Made from 100 per cent cotton, human ($60) and canine versions ($40) come in XS to XL versions.

Lodi police remind community of motorcycle safety
( The Lodi Police Department reminds the community to be vigilant of motorcyclists when traveling on the road. Video Above: Driving safely in work zones Police said that as the weather starts to warm, more motorcycles will be on the road, increasing the importance of staying alert to help reduce crashes and save lives. LPD cited data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that showed that 6,218 motorcyclists were killed in traffic crashes in 2022. This represents 15 percent of total highway deaths that year. Meanwhile, California statistics showed that 634 motorcyclists were killed in 2022, a 3.8 percent increase from 2021. 'Motorcycles may be difficult to spot, so be extra careful before changing lanes,' Sergeant Dan Bristow said. 'A simple double take can make a life-saving difference. Motorcycle riders do not have the same protections drivers and passengers do. Let's all do our part to keep each other safe out there.' DUI checkpoint to be conducted in Stanislaus County Police remind drivers to: Check mirrors and blind spots before changing lanes. Keep a safe distance from motorcyclists and do not follow them too closely. Remain cautious when a motorcyclist turns on their signal and make sure the rider is turning before moving ahead. Police remind motorcyclists to: Wear a U.S. DOT-compliant helmet with eye protection. Wear sturdy clothes such as a jacket, pants, boots with nonskid soles and gloves. Add reflective elements to the clothing and motorcycle so drivers can easily see. Avoid riding in a driver's blind spot and never assume a driver can see the motorcycle. Keep the lights on at night and during the day. Police also remind the community that neither the driver nor the motorcyclist should drive distracted or under the influence.
