We’ve found clothing and accessories to help him step up his fashion game, premium steaks, and more. He deserves the splurge.

A linen shirt that’s just plain cool…
Buck Mason makes timeless menswear, and this linen camp shirt is no exception. It’s made of a lightweight linen that has a slight sheen and a camp collar. This is the type of shirt that will make him want to smoke a cigar or pair it with crisp shorts on vacation. ($168, Buck Mason)
Classic Wayfarer sunglasses…
You heard it here first, the next old-is-new-again trend will be the return of Ray-Ban Wayfarers. The shape tends to look good on everyone, and they’re polarized to reduce glare if he’s out on the lake. If they were good enough for Bob Dylan, they’re good enough for Dad. ($230, Nordstrom)
A cast iron Dutch oven to spoil a self-proclaimed chef…
Help him take his cooking to the next level with this cast iron beauty from Alva. This 5.3-quart Dutch oven has a large base, so it’s great for searing or browning meats and vegetables all at once.

Plus, it’s nonstick, indestructible, and looks super stylish, so he'll be making family dinners in this for decades to come. ($299, Alva)

A foolproof waffle maker for hotel waffles all the time…
What goes better together than dads and waffles? With this smart waffle maker, he’ll get the perfect crispy Belgian every time.

($219.95+, Williams Sonoma)
A leather sneaker that’s really comfortable…
Show him you care by gifting him the comfortable sneakers you’ll also be wearing all summer long. They’re leather for a more elevated feel than his usual running sneakers, and will match every outfit he puts together. The gold foil logo is subtle, and they’re breathable enough to wear on even the hottest days. ($110, Nordstrom)
The Rolls Royce of shavers…
This razor will sense and adapt to his face for the closest shave he’s ever had.

You’ll be helping him make his grooming routine way more efficient. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)
A coffee table book he’ll be proud to show off…

A charging pad to keep all his favorite devices ready to go…
No more bending over to grab the charging cable or forgetting to plug his phone in entirely at night. All he has to do is place his phone on this sleek charging pad and it’ll be juiced up by morning. It also charges his AirPods at the same time, serves as a catchall for his watch, and levels up his nightstand in leather or linen. ($160, Courant)
Hand-brewed coffee pods to make his mornings a little smoother…
These pods are brewed with the finest coffee beans, then flash frozen to maintain their freshness, so even true coffee connoisseurs will approve. All he has to do is add hot water or melt the pod ahead of time, then add to chilled water or milk if he wants it iced. Take it from us, these recyclable capsules get us out of bed in the morning. (64+, Cometeer)
A steak gift box that conveniently serves four to six…
What better gift to give than everything he needs to make dinner for the whole family?

A pair of over-the-ear Bose headphones to help him block out the noise…
When he just wants to relax, all he has to do is slip on these Bluetooth-compatible headphones made by a brand that’s synonymous with high-quality sound. They last up to 24 hours on a single charge and have two modes, one for complete noise cancellation and one that’ll let some background sounds in. ($249, Best Buy)
An eau de parfum to elevate his fragrance game…
He probably wouldn’t buy this for himself, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve a little Hermès. This fragrance is the perfect mix of earthy and woody scents, including fresh herbs and pear granita. Since it’s a universally appealing scent, it’s something you or your mom can borrow, too. ($125+, Sephora)

A bifold wallet for all of his cards and cash…
Chances are he’s had the same wallet since you were born, so it might be time for an upgrade. This one is made from full-grain leather, so it already feels soft and broken-in. It has eight credit card slots, a large compartment for cash, and a slim construction so it won’t feel bulky in his pocket. You can even get it monogrammed for a sweet personalized touch.
