By IRIS EDÉN SANTIAGO Special to The Star [email protected] ove over slippers, wallets, gardening tools, and grill mas- ters, because people, there IS life beyond the traditional Mpajamas, fi shing hat and embroidered handkerchiefs. Father’s Day is your opportunity to start a new tradition and let go of the boring and expected. Undershirts, socks and ba- throbes are not gifts, those are closet organizer fi llers. Help ensure your dad’s style is more elevated than the dad next door. It’s 2016 and ladies, dads don’t need to be metrosexual or übersexual to appreciate a little pampering and luxurious gifts. There are soooo many options for grateful siblings and ha- ppy moms everywhere. Today’s dad is not close to Mike Brady or Charles Ingalls … think David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wi- lliam Levy, Gerard Pique, Pierce Brosnan. Well, these hunks may or may not be waiting for you at home, but you can help your dad or husband catch the spirit! Think fun, innovative and dynamic items and gifts that they would not buy themselves but secretly fancy: designer shirts and polos, a cool necklace, skincare products, modern bracelets, color- ful designer loafers in red, orange or green, a membership in the Coliseo de Puerto Rico’s VIP Club, professional cooking classes with a popular chef or, maybe, silver cuffl inks in the shape of their Daniel Espinosa favorite sports car, enameled boxing gloves, elephants, or marine Jewelry motifs from Daniel Espinosa’s 2016 Men’s Collection.

His creativity springs from the fortuitous convergence of two factors: his Latin American roots and European education, which was further perfected through the study of Art in Florence, Fashion in Holland and International Marketing in New York. At Espinosa’s cave you will fi nd exquisite gifts from trendy watches and cool bracelets to leather briefcases and cuffl inks you never thought you’d fi nd.

They recovered superbly from going behind to a fi rst half goal from Nani to equalise through Birkir “Thor” Bjarnason and leave Portugal in a sweat des- pite dominating possession for much of the game. For Ronaldo it was a nervy night as Portugal as his Euro dream hung in the balance. The Real Madrid legend has won absolutely everything in club football – including league tit- les in two countries, three Champions Leagues and the Bernabeu, insisted they have the tools to makme three Ballon D’Or trophies. But the one thing missing it happen. And that makes Iceland’s performance all on his illustrious CV is a trophy with his country – the more lauldable. and he is desperate to put that right.
