Fête des Pères is French for Father's Day & is celebrated this year on Sunday the 15th of June.

Here are some Francophile gift ideas for the “Sophisticated Daddy” which are all available at Moi Decor.

Vintage-styled wall mounted bottle opener by the French brand Natives, this Chic style bottle opener is available in different designs such as the Bistrot de Paris range. It has a sturdy metal bottle opener and a clever cap catcher at the bottom which makes it super easy to use and clean up.

The Lord Brian Range by Natives have handy retro styled napkin dispensers that are great for bar counters with a “English pub and bulldog theme”.

.
Laguiole Cheese knives and wine bottle openers in a stainless steal range, these are made in France and are of superb quality! They all come with a certificate of authenticity.

Enjoy spoiling the very special father's in your life and have a wonderful loving weekend wherever you are. ~ Team Moi

Heart doilies: How to use

Heart doilies are simple, but they can be used to create romantic touches to packaging or décor. And with Valentine's around the corner, it's the perfect time to play around with these cuties.
String baker's twine through the holes to create bunting, or have them strung vertically to create a heart doily curtain; they can also be used around cans or mason jars, tied with twine.
