New dad, Ryan Livingstone, from Craigshill celebrated in style at The Centre, Livingston after being chosen out of hundreds of entries, as this year’s ‘Father’s Day’ winner following a heart-felt nomination by his partner, Lauren, referring to him as being ‘The World’s Greatest Super Dad’ to his 10-month-old daughter Zara.
The lucky dad, who works in construction, won a VIP makeover and pampering day and gifts worth over £600 which included a £150 Gift Card to spend at The Centre, Livingston on a new summer wardrobe.
With the help of personal stylist Caroline Phipps, and his partner Lauren who joined him on the day, Ryan picked out various bright, colourful and floral shirts, t-shirts and shorts from River Island for his upcoming, first family holiday to Tenerife.
Ryan also won £200 worth of vouchers from Barclays Diamonds, to put towards a watch of his choice. After a special VIP appointment, with a celebratory drink, he picked out a stunning classic timeless Tissot Swiss Watch which he had his eye on for some time and a goodie bag too.
Next up was a special pampering session at the newly opened beauty and wellbeing store, Rituals where he was gifted a box of luxury, relaxing treats, including their famous shower foaming gel in a beautiful keepsake box and Boots where he was given personal advice on skincare management by their No7 expert consultant and also received lots of goodies to try out at home.
Other surprises on the day from generous retailers included a power bank and fan from the gadget store, Menkind, YSL MYSLF Eau de Parfum from The Perfume Shop and a £25 Gift Card from Waterstones to buy a book of his choice – perfect timing for his summer holiday!
To complete his special day, the couple were treated to a tasty lunch at wagamama, where they tucked into a katsu chicken and firecracker chicken curry with gyoza’s on the side.
Ryan said: “Thank you so much to everybody at The Centre, Livingston for being so generous.
“I never win anything so it really felt so surreal, it’s definitely a Father’s Day I won’t forget and will be hard to top that’s for sure!
Patrick Robbertze, Centre Director at The Centre, Livingston, said: “We were inundated with nominations this year for our Father’s Day makeover competition, with so many wonderful stories of super dad’s which made it really tricky for us to pick one, however Lauren’s stood out as she really highlighted the lovely relationship her partner Ryan has with their new baby.
“Thanks to all of our retailers who helped to make his first ever Father’s Day a special one to remember and congratulations once again to him for being our very deserving winner.”
