Why are they so utterly difficult to buy things for?
They’re not complicated people, and yet when it comes to showering them with goods purchased at stores, they all turn into the riddle of the Sphinx.
So we solved it. No, we don’t know your dad/husband/grandfather/etc, but we can almost guarantee at least one of these gifts will knock his socks off.
Oh, and there aren’t any socks on the list. Socks are a dumb present.
1. Allbirds Men's Wool Loungers
But there are….shoes. Shoes are a great present. And you will not find a more comfortable, handsome slip-on. And in fact this shoe has loads of gushing, glowing reviews for their unmatched comfort AND they’re anti microbial to boot—which means his feet won’t stink. As much.
2. The Nue Co. Forest Lungs
It’s earthy, woody, clean. Those are really good words for a fragrance. And this fragrance also has what might be the best name of any fragrance we’ve ever seen.
Plus, most men secretly adore scents even if they don’t talk about it.
3. Amazon Echo Show
This is the ultimate useless but incredibly gadgety device he’s dreaming of buying for himself right now.
He will be able to make video calls, listen to audio books, watch live TV, drown in a binge of Game Of Thrones that he’s finally getting around to watching, summon Alexa to answer whatever question his heart desires, or connect with everyone else in the house on their phones because it’s come to that.
If you get him this device, he will love you more.
4. Brooklinen Linen Robe
He might never ask for a robe, but when he receives this robe, he will absolutely, 100% wear this robe. It’s lightweight, and comfortable as all get out.
5. True Botanicals Stress Relief Essential Oil Roller
Ditto this. Can you imagine your dad being like, honey I would LOVE an essential oil rollerball for Father’s Day this year! However. The scent is so good, so soothing, so truly stress relieving, it’s a guarantee he will not only use it up, but buy himself another.
6. Kindle Paperwhite
Designed only for reading books. Pleasing to hold. Feels weightless. And it’s WATERPROOF. He will flip. Guaranteed.
7. Yamazaki Home Cable Management Box
Wellllllllll, to be fairrrrrrrrrr, this might be more of a gift for yourself so that you don’t have to look at another chaotic pile of cords he’s been “meaning to deal with” for 6 months and now you’re close to divorce. Nevertheless he will think it’s techy and fun and you can passively aggressively get what you want while also seeming thoughtful. Aka, the dream.
8. A Fitbit
Is this on the pricey side? Yes. But if he’s a gadgety person and doesn’t have a fitbit, you have just stumbled on to the gift that will come up every year as the best gift he’s ever gotten.
You can create that future moment right now.
9. Corpus Naturals Deodorant
Again, this might be more for you if you’re sick of smelling his rancid, nose-annihilating Degree “Extreme Blast” Sport Spray that leaves a thick haze in the bathroom for 27 minutes after he exits.
Dont tell him that it’s “clean” because he’ll think it won’t work. But little will he know that it’s the single most effective clean deodorant on the market, and has the most beautiful cedar scent known to man. And woman.
10. Hario Original V60 Pour Over Dripper
If he’s a coffee drinker and if he doesn’t have this pour over dripper? Well. This coffee dripper will take his casual coffee interest into full-blown pro status. It’s the best. And he will love you more for recognizing he needs such a nice thing in his life to finally bring him true happiness. Aside from his kids, yada.
11. Blk & Bold Coffee
And then of course, he needs a truly great coffee to go with it.
This brand is nerdy enough to thrill even the snobbiest coffee aficionados, and approachable enough for dads who run on Dunkin’.
If he’s a coffe snob, he will absolutely appreciate this one. Whole beans are preferable if he has a grinder, but their ground beans are also delicious and he will think of your kindness every morning as he takes that first, warming sip.
