Gillette’s Heated Razor ($200) from Gillette Labs is the latest in razor tech and features a self-heating razor, mimicking the experience of a nice hot towel shave. It’ll go great with a can of soothing shaving cream.
All dads just seem to love having full control over the household light situation, right? We have no idea why. It’s just a Thing with them. Sengled’s Smart LED Multicolor Bulbs & Hub ($65) will give him that and more. Dad can create light settings ranging from candlelight to sunset. It comes in over 16 million colors, and it works with both Google and Alexa.
2. sports enthusiasts
You can’t go wrong with gifting dad a dozen Dixon Fire Golf Balls ($75) if he’s a golfer. These eco-friendly golf balls were designed for professional golfers looking for the highest level of performance in feel, spin, distance and durability.
Whether dad’s a fitness buff or just dealing with daily aches and pains, help him limber up with Therabody’s Thergun Mini ($199). It’s percussive therapy will gently ease cramping and tightness in only a few minutes no matter where he is, thanks to its portable compact size.

For the dad who keeps his hiking boots well worn in, consider an ENO DoubleNest Hammock ($70) for him to relax in along the trail. It also works great in the backyard on a sunny afternoon.
And if dad is a runner, rower, cyclist or anything in between, an armband to hold his phone is always a good idea. LifeProof’s LifeActiv Armband with Quickmount ($25) holds every type of phone and ensures their touchscreen is always accessible.

Speaking of which, elevate your dad’s grill skills with a cut of the most sought-after beef on the planet: a Japanese A5 Wagyu Steak ($349) from Holy Grail Steak. Holy Grail carries a wide range of top quality meat from which to choose, including filet mignon and ribcap steaks.

A Fuego Box Small-Batch Quarterly Hot Sauce Subscription ($112) will help to keep his taste buds happy all year round. Whiskey lovers might enjoy a bottle of Legent Bourbon Whiskey ($40). This bourbon has a very cool backstory. It was created by the mastermind behind Jim Beam and the mastermind behind Suntory whisky. It’s a mix of Japanese and Kentucky styles.
4. stylish dads
For a dad who loves good footwear – or one who might need some extra encouragement to ditch the raggedy old New Balances, give him a futuristic pair of Tod’s Shoeker/02 ($695) in High Tech Fabric.
Switch up his cologne with Bleu de Chanel ($72), a lighter Eau de Toilette with notes of cedar, grapefruit and sandalwood.

Help him drown out the noise during flights with a pair of Sony Noise Canceling Headphones WH1000XM3 ($350). These wireless headphones have superb noise-cancelling capabilities and phenomenal sound and battery life (28.5 hours at normal volume.)
6. gamers
If your dad is into gaming, consider ordering him a Custom Xbox Controller ($70 and up) from the Xbox Design Lab. With full color customization, this is a creative way to give dad a one-of-a-kind gift.
Or give him an Oculus Quest VR Gaming Headset ($399) so he can get lost in his own world, without needing separate hardware to do it. Dads need “me time” too, right?

For the less tech-inclined Dad who nevertheless still loves games, consider a chic deck of cards for his weekly poker nights. It’s the dealer’s choice, and we’re opting for Tiffany Metallic Playing cards ($100).
Finally, since dad has given you everything (with the help of mom, ahem) why not go for the moon and give him a limited edition Louis Vuitton Foosball Table. It will only set you back a cool $75,500. He’s worth every penny.
