Updated June 1, 2023 11:47 am

Maybe he’s a fitness junkie, an avid outdoorsman or a clotheshorse. Maybe he’s a connoisseur of fine spirits or an audio-obsessed record collector. Maybe, probably, he is you and you are him. And you deserve some Father’s Day gifts that are actually good this year. They don’t have to be luxurious or expensive (though they certainly can be), just something that improves your life in some small, meaningful way.

Feel free to casually share this link with your kids, your spouse or anyone else who might be inclined to buy you a father’s day gift.

Our Top Father’s Day Gifts

Nike Sportwear Sports Essentials Shorts
Nike Sportwear Sports Essentials Shorts

Begone, busted baggies. He deserves a new pair of go-to shorts, and few are going to beat Nike’s lined Sports Essentials. They’re sleek, comfortable and guaranteed to drop your strokes.

Ray-Ban 0RB3025 Aviator Large Metal Sunglasses
Ray-Ban 0RB3025 Aviator Large Metal Sunglasses

Bombas Men’s Calf Sock Starter 4-Pack

Yeti Rambler Beverage Bucket
Yeti Rambler Beverage Bucket

A hardwearing centerpiece for his backyard barbecues and other outdoor festivities, the new Yeti Rambler Beverage Bucket holds a 6-pack of beer or three bottles of wine — and like all of the brand’s gear — is engineered to keep drinks refreshingly cool all day long.

Booze Gifts

Courage & Conviction
Courage & Conviction

In partnership with Virginia Distillery Co.

Proud, passionate and aged to perfection. Sound like Dad? Then let him sip a whisky that’s his equal (and another father’s lifelong dream). Family-owned Virginia Distillery Co.’s award-winning American Single Malt whisky line, Courage & Conviction, harnesses Virginia’s dynamic climate to add depth and intensity to expressions aged in first-fill bourbon, sherry and rare cuveé casks. Not sure where to start? The flagship Signature Malt just won Whisky Of The Year at the 2023 London Spirits Competition. The 4-pack of 50mL mini bottles features all of the above expressions, including the Signature Malt. Or you could simply focus on outdoing your siblings and go with one of the limited Single Cask offerings — watch for their Double Cask Reserve, coming later this year. 

High Camp Torch Flask
High Camp Torch Flask

If you really think about it, flasks are sort of impractical. A pain to fill, a pain to clean and, sometimes, even
a pain to drink from. High Camp Flasks have changed the discreet, on-the-go drinking game with the Torch Flask — a double-walled insulated, pocket-sized 6oz drinking receptacle with a screw-on cap that doubles as a shooter-style glass. Because let’s be honest: those endless children’s sporting events would be a lot more enjoyable with a few sneaky sips here and there. And in a vessel this handsome, no one would even judge. (Kidding, everyone will still judge, always, but fuck ’em.)

Cincoro Anejo Tequila
Cincoro Anejo Tequila

Usually, we’d shy away from recommending a “celebrity” tequila. But Cincoro, a project from five NBA owners (including Michael Jordan), is both an outstanding agave spirit and a uniquely packaged one as well. The añejo, barrel aged for over two years, is a copper-colored standout, with hints of dried fruit, cinnamon and dark chocolate. It’s perfect for a tequila Old Fashioned or as a sipper. BTW, if you really love dad, get him the 1.75L edition, which features the unique five-sided bottle presented in a tailor-made gold box.

Russell’s Reserve 13-Year-Old Bourbon
Russell’s Reserve 13-Year-Old Bourbon

In partnership with Russell’s Reserve

According to Master Distiller Eddie Russell, “Releasing Russell’s Reserve 13-Year-Old Bourbon is a moment I’ve come to look forward to each year.” Much like the moment on Father’s Day when dads everywhere get to raise a dram of the good stuff. Russell created his bourbon brand in homage to his father, so there’s really no better choice of bourbon to pay respects to your old man than the oldest expression in Russell’s Reserve’s portfolio, which is also a recent winner of the coveted Double Gold medal from the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Legacy 10-Piece Roll Up Bar Tool Set
Legacy 10-Piece Roll Up Bar Tool Set

This ten-piece bar tool set features all the essentials dad needs to whip up cocktails on-the-go (well, besides the liquor, of course.)

Cuisinart Private Reserve Wine Cellar
Cuisinart Private Reserve Wine Cellar

For the dad who wishes he had space for a wine cellar, Cuisinart’s minimalist, 8-bottle refrigerator is a more practical alternative. 

Whiskey Peaks Pacific Northwest Set of 4 Whiskey Glasses
Whiskey Peaks Pacific Northwest Set of 4 Whiskey Glasses

You know we love our Whiskey Peaks. This particular set of handblown glasses features raised topographic impressions of notable mountain ranges in the Pacific Northwest. 

Monte Rio Skull Red Wine 2021
Monte Rio Skull Red Wine 2021

 For the dad who’s a little punk rock, this red blend looks good on the table and in the glass. The organic grapes are sourced from Lodi, one of our favorite California wine regions, and the juice was fermented in stainless and concrete with native yeasts. Put a little chill on it and serve with a grilled dinner — maybe he’ll even let you hold the tongs this time.

Shinola Bifold Wallet
Shinola Bifold Wallet

We’re generally not big on flashy logos around here, but the subtle flex that is the embossed logo in the corner of this luxurious wallet from Shinola is pretty much perfect.

Zodiac Super Sea Wolf GMT Pro Diver Watch
Zodiac Super Sea Wolf GMT Pro Diver Watch
