And if you happen to count yourself among the dads in your life? Even better. Feel free to casually share this link with your kids, your spouse or anyone else who might be inclined to buy you a gift. Below, the best Father’s Day gifts to give to dad this year.
Father’s Day Gifts Guide
Editor’s Picks: Our Favorite Father’s Day Gifts
With so much goodness out there, it can be hard to pick just one thing for pops. We’ve got you — below, find a round-up of our own personal editor picks, gifts that we are actively considering (or have already pulled the trigger on) bestowing upon the old men of InsideHook this Father’s Day.
Unimatic UT1-AS Alps Watch
A dive watch is as classic as it gets for Father’s Day, and indie watch label Unimatic’s designs are just funky enough to surprise him.
Vuori Kore Short Unlined 7″
Call ’em boring, but these shorts are what he genuinely wants. The modest 7” inseam should meet his standards, and the four-way stretch blend feels like heaven on the legs. Plus, you won’t be embarrassed when he wears them out of the house.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB
An endless amount of historical non-fiction in hand-held paperweight form? Sounds like a pretty good gift to us.
Filson Tin Cloth Zipper Tote Bag
It’s time to put an end to the all-too-real trope of dad pockets. Filson’s handy Tin Cloth Zipper Tote has more than enough room to lug around his necessaries, be it to work or otherwise.
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.
Viome Full Body Intelligence Test
We can all but guarantee he’s never received a gift like Viome’s Full Body Intelligence Test. The at-home kit offers advanced analysis and advice — like, on a cellular level — for gut and microbiome health, making it great for bio-hacker types.
Craighill Summit Card Case
The days of the bulging, beat-to-shit leather wallet (also: cash) are over. Craighill’s sweet summit card case — a stainless steel holder the size of a Zippo — is the future.
Daphne’s Tiger Woods’ Tiger Headcover
The perfect gift for golfers and fans of the phrase, “big dog.”

Luxury Gifts for Dads Worth the Splurge

The Row New Lucca Suede Loafers
If luxury is your game, we’d suggest a superyacht. That being said, The Row’s latest take on their cult Lucca Loafer is pretty great, too.
Drake’s 7cm Medallion Silk-Habotai Tie
Opulence is in the eye of the beholder. This beautiful Silk-Habotai printed tie from Drake’s is almost disgustingly nice, and, at just a hair under $300, a luxury-meets-common-sense pick for any refined man.
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.
Esterbrook Ebony Ballpoint Pen
Luxury doesn’t have to equal to zeros. This Esterbrook Ballpoint Pen oozes sophistication and glides with a precision he’ll appreciate the two times per year that he actually uses it.

There’s a ton of gear that combines peak performance and plush comfort, as well as fitness tech that ticks all the metric-loving boxes. Find the best way to present to Dad below.

Wellness Gifts for the Health-Conscious Dad

A bundle of primo cuts from trusted purveyors, shipped to his door right in time for prime grill season? Uh, yeah, we’d say that’s a pretty solid gift.

More rugged and ergonomic than a traditional pizza slicer, this axe-shaped pizza cutter can slice through even the thickest of crusts on the first try.

No man should be without a really great watch (especially an American-made timepiece with a story to tell), but the range of options is endless. Summer shirting, suede sneakers, swishy shorts — it’s all there for the gifting.

Billy Reid is the ultimate dad brand — casual enough for everyday comfort, versatile enough to work across various settings and just cool enough that he’ll feel like a proper Steve McQueen when he chucks on this rugged denim shirt.

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 tech gifts below are fully updated and ready to rock right out of the box.
Sonos Ace Over-Ear Headphones
Sonos might be a bit of a cliche at this point, but there’s no denying the incredible quality and consistently perfect functionality. Plus, now he won’t be the old guy with AirPod Max.
We Are Rewind Bluetooth Cassette Player
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.
Carl Friedrik Compact Weekender
Don’t let your dad be that guy at the airport with the busted duffle bag. Carl Friedrik’s chic weekender can crate way more than you’d expect and won’t get him automatically flagged at TSA.
Preppi Solar Charger & Emergency Radio
For the outdoorsy Dad, this durable, portable charger and emergency radio set is a lifesaver for more rugged adventures (literally).
Home & Backyard 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 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.
Ratio Eight Series 2 Coffee Machine
A coffee maker so nice they released it twice, the Ratio Eight Series 2 sits at the intersection of design ingenuity and a damn fine cup o’ joe.
