The Boardroom: Father’s Day, Wishes, Realities + More | CorporateFashionista.com

  • In case you missed it…here. Facebook COO and LeanIn Founder Sheryl Sandberg’s compelling post mourning the loss of her husband David Goldberg. Her authenticity and resilience amidst tragedy is truly admirable. My heart goes out to her and her family. The piece inspired me to seek out a digital print of one of my all-time favorite Sandberg quotes found here and here.

  • Father’s Day is just around the corner. Of course, there are many different ways to celebrate and express the connection. If you’re looking for tangible gifts, I’ve got some ideas for you. Here are three up-and-coming innovative brands:

    Rossling & Co. create modern watches. Founded by three brothers, Nadim, Terry and Karim, who are on a mission to design quality watches that are stylish, versatile and affordable. This marks the company’s third super successful watch collection and Kickstarter campaign. Ending soon.

    Scent Trunk is a personalized fragrance digital subscription service for men. Each month three deluxe sample (1.5 to 3 ml) niche scents are delivered to his door. CEO Will Yin explains the difference between Niche vs Designer and Cologne vs Perfume in this helpful video here. Monthly $15/Seasonal $20/Gift Options. This client-focused startup now offers full size buying options and it has expanded to include fragrances for women.

    Mizzen+Main is a fast-growing men’s apparel company best known for its advanced performance, low-maintenance fabrics. A go-to brand for entrepreneurs and athletes. Kevin Lavelle founded the American-made brand after one very sweaty workday. Expect moisture-wicking, wrinkle-free materials in fresh, classic designs.

  • Need a graduate gift? Here are some special finds:

    Tribute is a digital platform that makes it easy to create beautiful, collaborative video montages to celebrate the people you care about on special occasions. Simply invite family/friends, collect videos, and compile your tribute.

    Vrai & Oro’s fine jewelry without the markups. Always a favorite.

    Sugarwish is a sweet candy gift that starts with an eCard and ends with a delicious home/office delivery. Giftees get to choose which candies they want from old-school Bit-O-Honey’s to Sour Patches to Reese’s Pieces. 80+ sweet treat options. I sampled 4-pack Sugarwish Petite with delight. 8-pack Classic and 16-pack Ultimate available too. Prices $25-$70. Shipping included.

    P.MAI is reinventing backpacks for the professional woman. Modern, stylish, luxurious, user-friendly designs. Say goodbye to heavy totes, clunky laptop bags, and aching shoulders. Products made from premium quality materials in a family-owned factory that works with global brands like TUMI and Tommy Hilfiger. Founder Phuong Mai’s Kickstarter campaign is already successfully surpassing her goals to support working women everywhere.

    Natalia Allen 3D dresses. Versatile, figure-flattering, high-quality designs made from a robot. True conversation-pieces. Here is my Forbes interview with the high-tech fashion designer herself.
