Is it just me, or does Father’s Day always sneak up on the calendar? This time of year feels like someone is holding down the 2x button and suddenly here we are, with Father’s Day right around the corner.
So if you’re looking for a Father's Day gift for your partner, your dad, or any father figure who deserves extra appreciation, I pulled together a list of thoughtful gifts he’ll use and love. Think well-made items that make everyday life a little more comfortable and a little more enjoyable.
My husband, Jason, would totally vouch for most of these or wish he had them already. And no, I won’t be reminding him this gift guide is live since his gifts are coming straight from this list.
Wishing you time to celebrate the dads who show up in all the steady, everyday ways. I hope this guide helps you find something that feels just right for him.
Lounge
Vuori | Sunday Performance Jogger
Vuori is a brand I love myself, so gifting from here feels easy. These joggers are comfy (without the bulk), super wearable, and versatile enough for weekends, workouts, or lounging.
Vuori | Sunday Element Hoodie
Soft, structured, and cozy. This is a great standalone gift, or you can go for a matching set moment and pair it with the joggers. He’ll live in it all weekend.
Vuori | Ponto Short
A description that reads “lightweight and smooth like butter” speaks volumes. Shorts don’t usually get the same comfort treatment pants do, but these are the exception.
Vuori | Strato Tech Tee
A solid staple for his rotation. It’s casual, breathable, yet polished enough to wear beyond the gym.
Bombas | Sunday Slipper
Slippers with nearly 10K positive reviews obviously had me intrigued. So I scrolled through a few pages and kept seeing things like “my second pair,” “clouds on the feet,” and “I went without them for a couple of days and missed them so much.” I may or may not be eyeing the women’s pair now too.
Parachute | Waffle Robe
Both high quality and relaxed, with a hotel-at-home feel. Would be sweet to gift with a simple note like: Lounge in this a little longer today—you’ve earned it.
Anthropologie | Found Notes Woody Evergreen & Embers Candle
A thoughtful piece especially if he has a home office. It will fill the space with a piney, woodsy scent that’s grounding without being overpowering.
Self-care
Braun | Electric Shaver
If you know he’s been holding on to an older model shaver, then this is just the right gift—waterproof, cordless, and quick enough for busy mornings.
Jack Black | Beard Grooming Set
A reliable pick if he takes pride in his beard or just wants to keep things tidy. This set covers the basics: cleanse, condition, and tame.
Yves Saint Laurent | Y Eau de Parfum Men’s Cologne
I love that this smells fresh and not overpowering. It’s a crowd-pleasing scent that still feels classic. Definitely one of those colognes that makes you lean in a little closer.
Theragun | Therabody Relief Massager
Yes, this shows up on a lot of gift guides, but for good reason. This handheld therapy tool targets muscle tension and stiffness with short bursts of pressure. It’s one of those tools he won’t know he needs until he has it.
Jaxon Lane | Rain or Shine Daily Sunscreen
Warmer, sunnier weather is here, so while this might seem simple, IMO it makes for a thoughtful gift. So many men just grab whatever’s in their partner’s product drawer. Let him have some sunscreen of his own that works, feels good on his skin, and doesn’t leave a white cast.
Heating Pad
This is one of those gifts you wouldn’t think to buy for yourself, but once it’s in the house, it’s always in heavy rotation. Weighted for the shoulders and upper back, it’ll be used constantly to help with tension relief after long days or awkward sleep.
Travel
Beis | The Carry-on Roller
So. Good. Smooth wheels, smart compartments, and a weight indicator built right into the handle. If his current carry-on has seen better days, this one’s a major upgrade.
Apple Airtags
The gift that keeps on giving. Perfect as a small add-on, and genuinely useful for keeping track of keys, bags, or whatever else mysteriously disappears on a daily basis.
Apple Airtag Wallet
A clever combo of function and peace of mind. It holds cards and cash like any classic wallet, but with a built-in Airtag slot. And it also lets him track it from his phone if it ever goes missing.
Essentially—no more frantic searches before heading out the door.
Macbook Sleeve
Smart pick if he’s always hauling his laptop from place to place. Sleek, protective, and doesn’t scream “tech accessory.” Looks sharp in a backpack or carried on its own.
Dagne Dover | Travel Case
Another brand I really love. This keeps his essentials in check without taking up too much space. He’ll appreciate the clean design and that it holds its shape even when tossed in a duffel.
Dagne Dover | Tech Organizer
Oh so useful. This helps him keep cords, chargers, and gadgets from getting lost at the bottom of his bag. It’ll make such a difference when he's on the go.
Home cook
Crate & Barrel | Barbeque Tool Set
I feel like nothing says Father’s Day quite like a grill gift, but that doesn’t make it any less of a fun choice. If he looks forward to grill season, this one’s a no-brainer.
Crate & Barrel | Swoon Decanter
Wine lover on your list? This makes even a regular weeknight glass feel a little more special. Pair it with his favorite bottle—red, white, whatever he’s into.
Crate & Barrel | Belgian Waffle Maker
For the dads who always enjoy having breakfast covered. This makes two waffles at once, so no one’s left waiting. A fun way to level up his weekend routine. And bonus points if you get to enjoy the finished product.
Blackstone | Griddle
If he does already love grilling, this kicks things up a notch. Great for smash burgers, breakfast outside, or cooking for a crowd. Trust me, he’ll find excuses to fire it up.
The Original Whiskey Ball
Gotta love a gift that does exactly what it promises. For this one, it’s having slow-melting ice that keeps his drink cold. One of those things he’ll appreciate having around.
Mitsumoto Sakari | Chef’s Knife Set
If he likes spending time in the kitchen, you can’t go wrong here. Well-crafted and makes prep feel more like a skill than a chore.
Ooni | Outdoor Pizza Oven
So many people love this pizza oven. It makes family pizza nights feel like an event, but in an easy way (love that it cooks things up incredibly fast). And it’ll get plenty of use when friends come by for dinner. He’ll be the go-to pizza guy in no time.
Everyday essentials
Banana Republic | Luxury Touch T-Shirt
Feels a bit more than your standard tee but just as wearable. Soft, smooth and one of those pieces he’ll reach for on repeat.
Banana Republic | Chino Pant
Tailored but not stiff, these chinos work for office days, dinners out, or whatever’s on the calendar. A closet staple that slots easily into his weekly lineup.
Everlane | Organic Jeans
Everlane’s a favorite for me and so many of my friends. And their men’s pieces deserve just as much love. These jeans have a modern fit and enough stretch so he can move comfortably throughout the day.
Everlane | Classic Shirt
This shirt is a really easygoing pick for summer and comes in a bunch of colorways so you can find one that fits his vibe.
J.Crew | Court Sneakers
Low-profile and will pair with nearly anything. These strike the right balance between casual and put-together.
Bombas | Vintage Striped Socks
Can’t beat the comfort and practicality of gifting Bombas. I love the vintage vibe on this pair.
Sezane | Wells Sunglasses
Does Sezane ever miss? (That’s a no). These were their first-ever sunglasses design, and you can tell they got it right. Timeless shape and a cool tortoiseshell finish.
If you’re looking to make Father’s Day a bit smoother for everyone, it doesn’t have to be complicated. Stock the fridge for the weekend (and the week ahead) and maybe prep a few meals—I've got you covered here. In the planning mood? Start talking through your next family trip ideas over dinner (there are tons of fun places to have on your radar). Or, pull out your baby memory book or talk about some of your favorite recent parenting moments once the kids are in bed.
Whatever you buy, whatever you plan—what really counts is letting him know how much you appreciate the dad he shows up as, every single day.
