For one reason or another, buying gifts for dads can be tricky, which can make finding the perfect one a bit daunting. Fortunately, having previously spent years curating all things lifestyle as a career, I know a thing or two about what people want — yes, even guys — and exactly where to find it.
Treat your dad to a gift he can’t resist from my hand-picked selection of Father’s Day gifts below. Each one screams “you’re #1” so you can maintain your status as his #1.
Let’s face it, most men don’t have the time or patience to prioritize self-care, but that doesn’t make doing so any less important. Pamper your dad with our Essentials Duo, featuring our best-selling cleanser and face cream. It’ll help to simplify his skincare regimen so much that he’ll actually stick to it. He’ll wash his face in the shower, pat it dry once done, then apply the moisturizer. Easy! Trust me, he’ll even look forward to it (I’ve heard it from many of our male customers).
2. Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Polo
I seriously adore Buck Mason! It’s one of my go-tos for men’s gifts because there’s something for everyone — regardless of age. Everything they sell is simple, neutral, and cool, which is perfect for dads since I always like to avoid anything too trendy or colorful. Instead, I lean toward timeless staples like this neutral Field-Spec Rugby Polo for a classic fit that can be dressed up or down and will last for years to come.
3. Orrefors Erik 3-Piece Decanter Set
Though I, admittedly, know very little about whiskey, this modern crystal decanter set is so stunning it might even make me consider a nightcap! For the fathers who love their spirits, it’s a practical yet sophisticated gift featuring the decanter for storing and two Double Old Fashioned glasses for serving.
4. Ray-Ban Aviator Classic Sunglasses
One of my all-time fav accessories is my Ray-Ban Aviator sunnies. Though I, of course, have the women’s version, the pair with polished gold frames and green lenses knows no gender. They’re truly iconic. Bonus: they’re reasonably priced and fit practically any face shape. Plus, with the summer sun coming in hot, they’d make your dad look and feel not only hip, but protected as well.
When all else fails, get a gift card to allow even the pickiest parent to choose something he adores. I’d give him one from an under-the-radar, very fly store that’s slightly unexpected, like The Stronghold. It’s an LA-based company that was founded in 1895 (talk about timeless!), making the very first branded apparel to be manufactured in the city. Your dad will have so much fun browsing everything from leather, hand-blocked hats to denim jackets and beyond. It’s to die for!
