May 16, 2012 - PRLog -- Skokie, IL (May 2012)  - With Father’s Day just around the corner and high school and college graduates off to start the next phase of their lives, the question at hand seems to be: “What can I get them that they’ll love?”  With the incredible selection of retailers offered by Westfield Old Orchard (Skokie Boulevard & Old Orchard Road, 847-673-6800), gift-giving for your dad or grad can be simple and fun.  

Yes, sometimes it’s difficult to shop for dad, but Westfield Old Orchard makes it easy with great gift ideas for every dad’s taste. For the fashion conscious dad, sophisticated specialty retailer Brook Brothers pulls out all the stops.   Get him the Silver Train Cuff Links for $195 and he’ll look dapper all the way to the office.  If dad is one that lives in the gym and loves to stay in shape, Westfield Old Orchard Finish Line has a huge variety of options for him.  The Reebok ZigRee Trek Running Shoe is perfect for his next 5K run for $114.99 or get him the Nike Free 4.0 V2 Running Shoe; a Finish Line exclusive for only $89.99.  

Dad has a skin care regimen too!  Help him get his youthful glow back with a set of custom selected products from The Art of Shaving.  Gift him with The Art of Shaving Skin Care Kit which includes Facial Wash, Facial Scrub, Moisturizer, and After-Shave Mask® for $65.  Or, he can get that super close shave he loves with the Fushion Contemporary Shaving Set in Black or Ivory for $255.

Who doesn’t love supple leather goods?  Dad is no exception, so perhaps set your sights on the Leather Snap Case for his iPad for $145, or the Alpha Large Soft Leather Travel Satchel for $575 from world renowned leather retailer Tumi.

Let’s not forget about the grads!  As they embark on new adventures wouldn’t it be nice, if they take a wonder gift along for the ride? For the sentimental graduate who’ll always want something to remember her good times at school, Westfield’s Pandora offers the LP WG, pavé bracelet, 0.14ct for $770 available in Sterling Silver or 18k Rose Gold.

College-bound graduates will have something to write home about for graduation if they un-wrap the new Macbook Air notebook.  Available at Westfield’s Apple Store, it starts at $999. Or, send your grad off to college with something to make their dorm room feel more like home with fun gifts from Crate and Barrel like a set of 18th Street Dinnerware for $39.95 or a color 4’ x 6’ area Zak Rug for $299.
