Dad's come in all shapes and sizes and from all walks of life. It's hard to pin down the perfect gift, because dads are a bit difficult. I think what they really want the most is our love, respect, and some special time together. After all of that, a present is just icing on the cake.
Here: My Fave Finds. I Hope Your Father Fancies Them, Too.
For DIY Dads. He'll make bright, herbaceous gin that’s perfect for Negronis, Martinis, Gin and Tonics, and more, right in his own kitchen. Cheers, Pops!
Sur La Table
Most Dad's think they are King of the grill, this gift will confirm it. Any grill master will proudly carry these tools of the trade from family picnic to the block party.
Uncommon Goods
A great gift to send to Foodie Father's across the miles! Delivered from Salumeria, Chef McNaughton’s artisan deli and larder. All the items—from house-made salumis to artfully-crafted olive oils, vinegars, salts, and more—will come with a note from Thomas explaining why he uses them in his own award-winning restaurants.
If Only
Even if Dad has a collection of watches, he probably doesn't have one of these. WEWOOD fashions wooden timepieces from mostly scrap-wood and uses state-of-the-art Miyota movements. The result is an unique watch that's both handsome and earth friendly. Best yet, You buy a watch and they plant a tree!
We - Wood
If Dad takes his environment seriously, he will appreciate this utility tote by Monocle this Summer. An architect might tote his rolled blueprints, a businessman will use it as extra space for file folders that don't fit in the briefcase. The boater will tote his belongings to and from the boat. A gardener will carry his tools. Well, you get the idea.
Need Supply
Old School cool with a twist! If Dad has a record collection, it probably is a little dusty now. A portable, vintage-style turntable easily converts your old records from vinyl to digital files. Stereo speakers play his favorite tunes at full volume.
