If you’re missing your faraway paw on Father’s Day (June 16), create a substitute father by buying these handy mustache clips and attaching them to household items. You’ll be surprised at the tender filial feelings that can be prompted by the sight of a coffee packet sporting a bushy tash. And the grounds will stay fresh, too. Sold in sets of four (¥630) the clips could also be a Father’s Day gift. They’re practical, original, and they’re not a tie or a golf ball. But they’re probably only suitable as a sign of dissatisfaction with your upbringing—or a warning you’re about to ask for money.
