Unique Gifts for Dads Who Have Everything
It is the unfortunate truth that many men want for nothing. In theory, this makes dads incredibly hard to shop for…until you realize that, even if he thinks he has everything, there’s still an abundance of objects and experiences neither of you had considered out there, gifts like bespoke whiskey flights or stainless steel mind-melders or a gut microbiome test (gross, but cool). Never say never.
Flaviar Whiskey Academy Gift Subscription
A critical issue with trying to find gifts for enthusiasts — they tend to have everything already. For the whiskey-obsessed dad in your life, skip the stones and secure him a proper journey instead, with Flaviar’s Whiskey Academy, a curated, personal flight of nine American whiskeys for him to sip, learn, and enjoy. Class 1 also comes with a handwritten card, tasting notes, a $10 voucher towards a full-sized bottle and a Certificate of Completion.

Luxury Gifts for Dads Worth the Splurge
If a Father’s Day splurge is the name of the game this year, look no further. True luxury is in the eye of the beholder…but it is also a pair of debossed suede loafers, or Japanese-made sunglasses. Sure, these gifts will run you a pretty penny, but isn’t he worth every cent?
Gucci Horsebit 1953 Collapsible-Heel Suede Loafers
If luxury is your game, we’d suggest a superyacht. That being said, Gucci’s latest take on their cult Horsebit Loafer is pretty great, too. Debossed with the iconic double-G logo and featuring a collapsible heel for maximum step-in-ness, they’re the definition of maximalist opulence.
Garrett Leight Kinney J Sun Sunglasses
As if Garrett Leight sunnies weren’t elevated enough, these specific Kinneys from the California optics label are Japanese-made from the best of the best materials.

SISU The Crew Cabin Sauna
True luxury is schvitzing in the comfort of your own backyard.

Nike x Hyperice Hyperboot
A premium recovery boot that utilizes heat and Normatec dynamic air compression to help feet relax on the go.
Booze & Food Gifts for the Kitchen-Obsessed Dad
Given that drinking and snacking are a pillar of dad-dom, booze and food gifts that incorporate the likes of fine whiskey and oversized pizza axes are a no brainer for Father’s Day. Wether he likes to chef it up in the kitchen, mix it up at the bar or simply appreciates a good meal and a better drink, you can’t go wrong with the below.

Dads love a challenging kitchen task, and what’s more impressive than making your pasta from scratch? This machine features an easy-to-grip crank that kneads and flattens dough with ease.
Style Gifts for the Fashion-Conscious Dad
Ironically, dad style is one of the most coveted looks around, but whether or not you’d currently consider his closet raidable, there’s a good chance he’ll appreciate the fashion-forward assist of a style gift this Father’s Day. No man should be without a really great watch (especially an American-made timepiece with a story to tell), but the range of options are endless. Summer shirting, suede sneakers, swishy shorts — it’s all there for the gifting.
Shinola Mooncraft Monster Chronograph Watch
Much like your own good ol’ dad (or husband, or whatever), Shinola’s Mooncraft Monster Watch is special.

How’s that for a gift?
Kardo Tiger Block Print Shirt
Well, that’s his backyard cookout outfit settled.
LUCA Suede Terra Low Sneaker
All sneakers are for dads, but not all of them are dad sneakers. Understand? We didn’t think so — point is, a pair that he can wear to the office and bar alike is greatly appreciated.
Lululemon ABC WovenAir Pull-On Short 7″
We’ve long preached the good word of 5″ inseams, but for the more traditional dad types, these 7″ WovenAir shorts should suffice.
Taylor Stitch The Stevens Sportcoat
Thoroughly classy and not the least bit fussy, Taylor Stitch’s interpretation of a charming summer sportscoat is slightly less formal than traditional models, making it ideal for dad to dress down with jeans and his favorite tee.
Tech Gifts for the Gadget-Loving Dad
Shopping for the plugged-in (both metaphorically and literally) father can be tricky — he’s often one step ahead when it comes to the latest gadgets, audio equipment or tech. Gifting useful, easy-to-use upgrades to devices he already loves (or a charming retro analog version) is a great way to ensure he gets the gift he really wants. This is where we come in — the below tech gifts are fully updated and ready to rock right out of the box.

Nanu Arc Alarm Clock
Low tech is still tech, right? If pops is still stuck in the analog era, skip the smart alarm clock and opt for Nanu’s Arc instead — the retro mechanical chime alarm and sleek form will almost certainly tickle his fancy.

Finally, a solution to his stockpile of ancient cassette tapes. This modern cassette player offers 12 hours of uninterrupted playback, along with a built-in Bluetooth 5.1 connection.
Travel & Adventure Gifts for the Jet-Setting Dad
Is he a man on the move, ready to catch a flight or book it to the backcountry at a moment’s notice? He’ll probably want something to assist in the adventure, gifts to smooth over travel, zhuzh up his overnight look and keep him safe and comfortable when he needs it most. Dads with wanderlust tend to appreciate function over form, but the following selects — glorious knives and ergonomic packs — combine both.

Home Gifts for the Master-of-His-Domain Dad
Some dads savor the comforts of his castle — his worn-in lounger, maybe or a grill he knows like the back of his hand — above all else. For this type of homebody or backyard boss, there is no greater gift than one than one that elevates the space he already loves, be it patio, office or man cave. Opt along the lines of luxurious coffee gear, comfort-forward pajamas and new-fangled kitchen killers; gifts he doesn’t know he needed and soon won’t be able to live without.

Imagine your typical “kiss the cook” apron. Now, imagine that it was bulletproof — that’s more or less what he’ll be getting with the grill-busting F&T Waxed Apron.
Bird Buddy Smart Bird Feeder
One of our favorite backyard items, the Bird Buddy, is like a combined Ring camera and bird feeder. The weather-resistant device captures high-definition photos and live streams the action around your feeder.
