Happy Father's Day: 10 gifts that won't end up at the bottom of the closet

Every Father's Day, it's the same story. Manon, 32, doesn't know what to get her dad and always ends up settling on the usual pair of socks . "Not very original," admits Manon. "I can see he's touched by the thought. But in reality, it doesn't make him any happier than that, and I understand! For my mother, I always take the time to find a useful and personalized gift. For my father, it's more complicated. Yet I love them both equally." For those who, like Manon, are always short of ideas, Le Figaro has selected ten accessories that should change the game.
