A set of mochi ice creams for his sweet tooth…
“I got my dad the classic matcha flavor of these mochi ice creams, and he would practically run to our freezer after dinner to grab them. Sadly, he has finished the entire box and has reminded me of that fact. I’m sending him this variety pack so he can try more flavors. Plus, when I’m home, it’s a nice way to enjoy a sweet treat together.” —Martha Upton ($99.95, Goldbelly)
A comfy pair of clogs for gardening, errands, and everything in between…
“Chicago is finally beginning to see some sun, and my dad is back to gardening. Since his go-to gardening shoes are nearing the end of their life, Birkenstock's Boston Soft Clogs will make a perfect new pair. The contoured footbed gives him support whether he's standing or crouching, and the rubber sole is sturdy for rocks, dirt, or any foundation he might come by. Plus, my mom often realizes mid-chore that they've forgotten something, so its slip-on nature makes it suitable for him to run quick errands.” —Vivien Lee ($99.99+, Nordstrom)
A meal delivery service to give him more weeknight variety…
“Dads are typically specialists in a few dishes. (My dad makes the best pancakes in the world.) But it’s always nice to show them how they can switch it up. This service will deliver meals like beef tinga tacos and cajun salmon made by chefs to his doorstep, and the app makes it easy to pick out his meals for the week. Plus, you can get him 50% off his first order when you sign up now.” —Martha Upton ($5.55+ per meal/CookUnity)
A mug that’ll always keep his coffee hot…
“My dad is fanatical about brewing the perfect cup of coffee (his secret: add a pinch of cinnamon), so I know he’ll appreciate this temperature-controlling mug. It’ll keep his coffee hot for up to 90 minutes, so he can take his time sipping it in the morning while he reads the paper.” —Caroline Goldstein ($76.88+, Amazon)
An adult snap bracelet to keep his tools on hand…
“As my dad's trusty helper (who now lives miles away), the MagSnap Magnetic Wristband will seamlessly help him throughout his DIY projects instead. Although thin in appearance, the wristband can hold everything from nuts and bolts to drill bits and washers. You already know I'll be signing the card with, "There will be no missing screws here.” —Vivien Lee ($14.99, Amazon)
A knife set to bring out his inner chef…
“If you spend enough time with anyone who loves to cook, you’ll realize the importance of sturdy, sharp stainless steel knives. My dad’s a big fan of cooking and grilling, and while he’s emotionally tied to his tools from the early 2000s, I’m excited to gift him this set (sharpener included).” —Alessandra Rey ($62.99, Amazon)
Dad appropriate sandals…
“These Oofos sandals have been going viral for their unmatched arch support and extreme wipeability. Because my dad is still a Crocs stan, I figured it’s time to upgrade his worn out pair with these.” —Margo Ghertner ($59.95, Oofos)
A performance hat that won’t show sweat…
“My boyfriend’s dad received this hat as a gift and loves how sweat-wicking, breathable, and perfect it is for when he’s playing golf. While other performance hats can be a little less than stylish, this one actually looks good. Plus, it’s durable, no matter how many times he’s throwing it in the back of his car.” —Martha Upton ($79, Zappos)
