16 Cool Gifts Dad ACTUALLY Wants This Father’s Day
Just in case the days and weeks seem to fly by without you even noticing (ahem, guilty) Father’s Day is coming up this Sunday, June 16, and the men we have in our lives deserve a hat tip (and a strong pour of whisky) in their celebration. If you’re seeking out other ideas to celebrate the man in your life this Father’s Day, see below for some creative, and straight up awesome, gift ideas.
Personal Whisky & Water Decanter
Speaking of that strong pour of whisky that dad deserves… Are you getting enough water? Yes? Good. Now, is your whiskey? This decanter for one lets you easily add a splash of H20 to spirits. It also looks neat, even if your drink isn’t. The globe has an inner and an outer chamber, so one can be filled with whiskey and the other with water. When you’re ready to imbibe, pour a finger or two of booze, add a few drops of water, and savor the flavors awakened by the combination. Use it to dilute cask-strength liquors with high alcohol contents, or simply to bring out the subtleties in your favorite bourbon or scotch.
Mega Dad Personalized Comic Book
He lifts donut trucks in danger with his super strength, and takes on evil stuffed animals with a wham! and a pow! He’s Mega Dad. This custom hard-cover comic book incorporates your kid’s name and Mega Dad into a colorful story of heroic adventures both big and small. A fun addition to reading time, it makes a dynamite gift from child to parent, or for a new dad.
RAWHYD Leather Co
RAWHYD produces leather wallets, toiletry kits, and koozies at the moment, all made of high-quality leather. Better yet, they have even more products coming soon. RAWYHYD’s products are top quality and fashionable and great gifts for husbands, boyfriends, dads, sons, etc. They are made of top grain leather and will last a long time to come.
Better yet, this is a company that gives back, giving 10% of profits from every month to their partnered orphanage in India that goes to pay for the school fees for the kids. Each month, they have been able to sponsor about 15 kids, with goals to continue to grow this number as the company grows.
Art of Shaving Kit
Want to get the man in your life some top quality grooming items? Consider this his version of the highly indulgent bubble bath. The Art of Shaving offers elegant hand-crafted razors & shaving accessories for men. Their unrivaled products will elevate shaving from an act to an art. With plenty of options to choose from, you’re sure to please just about anyone.
Himalayan Salt Plate & Holder Set with Recipe Book
Himalayan salt has a very stable crystal structure, which allows it to hold a temperature very well. You can chill it to use as a serving platter for sushi, or heat it over a grill or stovetop to cook your veggies. Cooking on salt gives it a greatly enhanced flavor over that of a frying pan. The mineral content in the salt gives it a more nuanced flavor than table salt, and the amount of saltiness it imparts varies with the type of food (moist foods absorb more salt, fatty foods repel it, etc.). Himalayan salt is also long-lasting and naturally antibiotic, needing little more than wiping with a damp sponge after most uses. Whatever you’re serving up, you will be sure to do so with greater flavor and flair.
Make Your Own Hotsauce Kit
To add fiery flavor to nachos, chili, pizza, and more, while raising your metabolism, there’s nothing like a full-bodied hot sauce–and making it yourself can add an extra kick to the mix. Produce a piquant variety of hot sauces with this DIY kit, offering cayenne, ancho, curry, and chili spice packs. Simply follow the instructions, combining the spices with the included peppers, vinegars, and brown sugar to create your own handcrafted condiments. Six bottles and customizable labels let you package and present up to six of your own small-batch sauces that’ll turn up the heat on your favorite foods.
IPA HomeBrewing Beer Recipe Kit
The deck is stacked with a whole lotta hops – Magnum, Chinook, Centennial and Citra. This beer kit provides a smooth malty caramel with a touch of toast, and an intense hop presence with pine, citrus and fruity notes. Just follow the simple instructions, and within just a few weeks, you’ll yield 5 gallons of homemade, handcrafted beer.
Wood In Philosophy Watch
When seeking something timeless (literally) look no further than a watch. Even better, these watches are stunningly well-designed one-of-a-kind wooden watches from Wood In Philosophy.
Each watch is made with high-quality materials including Swiss movements, sapphire crystal glass, and exotic hardwoods. Their wood band watches come packaged in a beautiful wooden gift box and their leather band watches come in a stylish black box, perfect for gifting. They also offer custom text or image engraving. The only problem you’ll have is deciding between which watch you want (to gift) most.
We’ve seen these watches in person, and trust us on this one, it’s a gift that he’s going to love.
Baseball Stadium Screen Print Map
From Fenway to Dodgers Stadium, visiting every ballpark in America is a baseball lover’s field of dreams. Commemorate the nostalgic pilgrimage with this screen print map.Whether it takes a summer or a lifetime to complete, it’s a fun keepsake for the fan who knows the crack of a bat sounds different in every diamond.
Wine Delivery from Winestyr
For the refined palate, and something that you can enjoy alongside dear old dad, consider wine delivery from Winestyr.
Winestyr encourages you to “discover better wine”. Through their online shop, you can both purchase unique, hard-to-find wines, and also sign up for their Wine Club. Winestyr is kind of the boss of wine clubs, with the belief that small production wines should be much more accessible.
Sign. Me. Up.
Wait, I mean… get this for dad, either by the bottle, in a gift set, or set it and forget it with a wine club subscription.
Ron’s CBD Balm
EcoVessel Reusable Drinkware
While EcoVessel has plenty of other drinking options on their website, all the same quality, let’s focus on this 64oz growler. This gift set, specifically, includes two 16oz insulated beer (or coffee) mugs.
EcoVessel uses what they call TriMax triple insulation, keeping your beer cold all day and night and the double barrel insulated beer mug holds the perfect pint, keeping beer chilled and crisp until the last sip … sounds like the perfect pairing!
JJ Suspenders
I’ve always been a fan of buying the men in my life things that they may not buy themselves, but would look ah-maaaaz-ing wearing. Sometimes a man just needs a subtle nudge in the dapper department.
For those occasions where he wants to style it up a notch (or use suspenders for their true intention of holding up pants) consider JJ Suspenders.
Founders Jackson and Josh recognized that shopping for suspenders was painful, and boring. In pursuit of stylish suspenders for a wedding, the came up empty-handed, finding a handful of generic, outdated and overpriced suspenders. In further research, they found out the quality of most suspenders was low, as well.
And so began JJ Suspenders, bringing the world high-quality, handmade items sure to please.
10/10 in support of more men wearing suspenders on the regular.
Sprezzabox
A friend introduced me to this subscription box, and to be honest, I got it for my husband in a moment where I wanted to get him something nice, but not invest in what could end up being a hefty price for a swanky item. My solution? Sprezzabox.
Sprezzabox is a subscription box for men’s fashion accessories. For $28/ month, Sprezzabox sends a box (retail $100+) to your mailbox. Commonly, a box includes: a tie, socks, and then usually has some kind of lotion or skincare item, and some kind of accessory- like a tie bar, ascot, etc. My husband finally upgraded his wallet thanks to Sprezzabox, but also received a second in his box since first subscribing at Christmas. The boxes generally have a common theme, with color and/or design, so you’re basically upping his style game each month. You can pay monthly ($28), or for 6 or 12 months at a time, where you get a little discount the more you commit. I pay monthly, and like knowing that I can cancel anytime.
SleepPhones
If only I’d known these existed, I would have packed them on every family reunion.
SleepPhones promote sound sleep and healthy lifestyles in ways you’ve never heard. With thin, adjustable and high-quality audio speakers nestled inside a comfortable, wearable, and washable headband, AcousticSheep products make listening to audio easy:
- When going to sleep or sleeping next to a snorer
- People suffering in various degrees from excessive stress or worry
- Listening to music and TV in bed at night while your partner sleeps
- For listening to music while traveling or commuting
Smart Watch Wood Stand
All the items he wants to keep safe, in one place. Bring natural elegance to a dresser or desk. This wooden stand serves as a docking station for smartphones and can hold smart or traditional watches on its wood arm.
For even more inspiration, check out our Father’s Day guide from last year. Pretty sure we included some kind of meat bouquet in there.

March 31, 2022 at 12:55 pmIt seems to me that choosing a gift for a man is the most difficult thing, because they never know what they want. I think jewelry will not be superfluous for anyone, it will be a great gift even if he has everything. I found a diamond jesus pendant here and chose the best one
