Gin Texture, by Talaé

© JDG

Although it should obviously be consumed in moderation, we advise you to offer a dad who loves spirits the Talaé Texture Gin, a Made in France tasting alcohol, the result of a collaboration between the Talaé bar and the Baccae urban distillery. Between tradition and modernity, the Texture benefits from attractive botanical sourcing from French and European agriculture, with notes of bergamot, eucalyptus, Timut pepper, lemon balm and fig leaves. Enjoyed neat, on the rock, or in a cocktail accompanied by a tonic, your summer evenings are guaranteed. Count 38€ for a 70 cl bottle, only available at the Talaé bar and for a limited time.

Bose Ultra Open Headphones

Going against the current trend, Bose launched its new Ultra Open headphones last February. Without a noise reduction system, they boast immersive sound, without interruption from the outside world. With their astonishing cuff-shaped design, their completely open earring-shaped design, and their foolproof comfort, the Ultra Open are intended for sportsmen and walkers who would like to enjoy their music or podcast without giving up on their sound environment. Available in black and white, they are offered at 349€.

All for €159, it would be wrong to deprive yourself of it.

New Bubble Water Bottle

The Tiger brand recently released its New Bubble bottle, which allows you to take any sparkling drink without risking explosion or loss of bubbles. Thanks to its exclusive Bubble Logic technology, the insulated bottle can maintain normal pressure inside, thanks to a safety valve placed inside its cap. Light, compact and available in several colors, the New Bubbkle from Tiger is marketed in several colors and capacities, from 41€ for 360 ml.

If you are looking for an original and practical gift, the OnePlus POUCH is ideal. The smartphone manufacturer launched its 3-in-1 charger a few days ago, and we have to admit that the object is a gem of innovation. Able to replace a classic charger, an external battery and a charging cable, the accessory adopts a unique and modular solution, in a particularly successful design. A real Swiss army knife for charging, ultra-versatile thanks to its 3 USB-C ports and magnetic connection. For 91€, you will never run out of battery again.
