Gone are the days of giving your Dad a stuffy tie and cufflinks. Whether or not he considers himself a fashionable dad, you can’t go wrong with wearable accessories, from cool beanies and modern watches to stylish shades. Then toss in a fresh scent, skincare set, or a refined razor case. The gift of ultimate relaxation starts with a bathrobe give him one that’s as indulgent as a luxe hotel robe. What is it about fathers and their grills? For those who adore the “sport” or are picking up flame cooking as a new hobby, here are a few accessories sure to get him fired up-from a pair of Japanese-designed tongs to a compact kettle smoker that rings in less than $125. In addition to, say, front row seats to his favorite show, here are a few music-centric presents that he’ll love: a handsome vinyl player that connects to his Sonos speaker system (for jamming out at home) or some album-cover merch.
And for the Dad who needs a little help keeping track of his belongings, an Hermès AirTag will surely be the most practical piece of luxury you can offer him. Luggage always makes a good gift, but even better are those with a dapper touch (think leather accents). From thrill seekers to grillmasters, sports enthusiasts to classic good ol’ dads, here’s a gaggle of gadgets, gear, garb, and more-the absolute best gifts for Dad. And there are also small but equally high-impact presents-luxurious accessories and quality grooming products he’ll love but most likely wouldn’t know to buy for himself. There are really big gifts-world-class luggage, high-ticket tech items, and extreme experiences, for example.
We’ve gathered more than 50 fine options that are just as impeccable, distinguished, and swanky as he is. But these ideas won’t be unoriginal if you think beyond the average run-of-the-mill versions. There are, of course, presents he might expect like, say, whiskey tumblers, barbeque utensils, a new watch, or a flat-screen TV. But that said, the holiday season is fast approaching, and there are plenty of epic-no, exceptional!-and all-around best gifts for dad. Showing your pops some appreciation doesn’t require a special occasion.
