Editors' picks: must-have June Cathay Shop products

Summer has well and truly arrived – marking the start of those long, sun-soaked days we all love. Whether you’re gearing up for a family vacation, staying closer to home or joining friends at a music festival, there’s plenty to get excited about. 

Amid all the summer activities, don’t forget that Father's Day is on 15 June – now’s the perfect time to choose a thoughtful present to show how much you appreciate your dad. It can be hard to keep track of everything that’s going on, so we’ve curated a list of creative gift ideas he’ll love, along with some practical summer essentials for the month ahead.  

Gifts for Father’s Day

1. De'Longhi - La Specialista Arte Evo

If Dad needs his coffee fix in the morning, this state-of-the-art, stainless metal coffee machine is sure to please. The La Specialista Arte Evo boasts newly upgraded Cold Extraction Technology, allowing him to whip up a refreshing cold brew in less than five minutes. 

Other premium features include a Thermoblock Heating System that maintains water at ideal temperatures to preserve the richness of coffee beans, and a My Latte Art steam wand to craft smooth milk froth. It also comes with three pre-set recipes for espresso, long black and cold brew, eight grind settings to suit various coffee beans, and a full set of professional barista accessories. 

2. Thule - Accent laptop bag 

The perfect companion for business travellers, this versatile laptop bag can be converted from a briefcase to a backpack. A host of internal organisers will keep Dad’s belongings secure, including dedicated laptop and tablet pockets, a SafeZone compartment for storing glasses and other fragile items, and specific slots for a phone, pens and business cards. 

It’s also fitted with a padded, removeable shoulder strap for comfort when carrying as a briefcase and a pass-through panel for attaching the bag to his suitcase. With its simple black façade that goes with any outfit, this is set to be Dad’s trusty, go-to carrier for many years to come.  

3. Samsung - 43" The Frame LS03D 

Whether for his study or his man cave, help Dad elevate his hideout with Samsung’s The Frame. Tech aficionados will appreciate its immersive surround sound experience powered by Dolby Atmos and Q-Symphony technology. With Art Mode, Dad can display his favourite artworks or personal photos on the big screen, while customisable bezel frames allow him to choose one that integrates seamlessly into his space. 

The Frame also offers great convenience – its motion sensor detects when you enter and leave the room, automatically turning on and off to save energy.

4. Head - Multifunctional adjustable dumbbell set 

Whether Dad is a seasoned gym buff or just starting to get into fitness, this combination of dumbbells, barbells and kettlebells means he can build a comprehensive workout routine while saving on storage space. Dumbbells can be used for shoulder presses and bench presses; barbells for deadlifts; and kettlebells for a range of pushing and lifting moves, such as the goblet squat and kettlebell swing. All three modes have an adjustable weight range to suit personal training needs and fitness levels. The set also includes a jump rope to round off the workout with some cardio.

Summer essentials 

5. Factiv - ECT1 1% Ectoin airy sunscreen 

We all know that sunscreen application is crucial to skin health, but thick, sticky and uncomfortable formulas can often deter us from this habit. That’s where factiv’s airy sunscreen comes in. Free of alcohol, fragrance or parabens, this lightweight, refreshing and deeply hydrating option is perfect for daily use. 

Fuelled by Ectoin, it protects against photodamage, pollution, inflammation and dryness. This means that it actively shields against harmful UV rays while also preventing wrinkles and pigmentation, fortifying the skin barrier, soothing redness caused by irritants, and enhancing the skin's long-term moisture retention capability.  

6. Miu Miu - Ladies sunglasses  

Make a fashion statement while looking after your eyes. These Miu Miu sunglasses will help you see everything clearly, whether that’s up on stage or down on the soccer field.  

Offering 100% UVA and UVB protection, these sophisticated oval sunglasses feature dark grey lenses and a thin-rimmed black acetate frame for a touch of timeless retro charm. With a streamlined and lightweight design, you’ll barely notice them whether they’re sitting on your nose, on top of your head or in your bag. The devil is in the details – its gold-toned vertical logo plaque acts as a hinge while adding subtle branded flair.  

7. MALIN+GOETZ - Bergamot deodorant 

If your Glastonbury Festival itinerary includes camping or glamping, you can’t forget to pack a deodorant stick to stay fresh. Free of aluminium, alcohol, baking soda, parabens, as well as synthetic fragrances and colourants, this vegan deodorant is formulated with plant extracts and fermented enzymes, making it ideal for sensitive skin. 

It’s infused with probiotic enzymes to neutralise odour, corn starch to absorb excess moisture, and mood-boosting bergamot for a fragrant finishing touch. The convenient opaque stick glides on smoothly with no residue and is housed in eco-friendly, 100 per cent recyclable polypropylene packaging. 

8. LUND London - Lite water bottle (500ml)

With its clean geometric lines and vibrant hues, this bottle may resemble a Bauhaus lamp – but it’s not all style and no substance. BPA-, PVC- and phthalates-free, the lightweight stainless-steel bottle is built with an airtight, leakproof screw top lid, making it a handy, durable option for your jam-packed summer days. 

It's slim enough to fit in your car cup holder but wide enough to fit fruits and ice cubes for customised drinks. Staying hydrated – while reducing single-use plastic water bottles – has never looked this good.
