It’s that time again – Father’s Day!! Whether you are buying for your husband, your father, your father-in-law, or you’re looking for ideas to give your kids, buying a father’s day gift can be tricky. Do you go for something to wear, something to eat, something to read, something for the house, or an experience? Here is our FabList of recommendations. And you can check out our entire Men’s Gift Section on the site for even more ideas!
Cook/Coffee Lover:
- Breville Foamer. This thing ROCKS. Chrissie’s husband uses this multiple times daily for his lattes and it creates the perfect foam at the touch of a button. If the man in your life doesn’t have a good foamer, this is the one to get.
- Aero Press Coffee Maker: Jo’s husband read about this on Tim Ferris (the 4-hour work week guy) and he’s been addicted to it! It’s a bit of a project but it keeps him entertained in the morning and I must say it makes a very nice cup of joe! Combine it with the Breville foamer above for the perfect gift.
- Kitchen Aid Coffee Station: Jennifer Garner just posted about this fully automated espresso machine that crafts cafe-worthy macchiatos, lattes, and more with the press of a button. With over 40 preprogrammed coffee classics, 7 grinding levels, and froths dairy and plant-based milks. Good-bye Starbucks!
- Cast Iron Skillet: Perfect for searing steaks and cooking almost anything!
- Electric Kettle: John Ramsay just got one of these to go with his Aero Press! It’s designed for pour-over coffee and other hot beverages and has a custom temp button, LCD display, and cordless serving. Quince has a nice one as well.
- Wireless Meat Thermometer: A FabList best seller!
Cocktail Lover:
- Glass Topper Cocktail Smoker: This handheld torch and glass topper lets you create complex, smoke-infused spirits that are sure to impress even the most discerning cocktail enthusiast.
- College Cityscape Cocktail Glasses: Show a little school pride with these glasses depicting his alma mater’s campus and logo.
- Yeti Cocktail Shaker: 18/8 stainless, no-sweat design.
- Whiskey Peaks Cocktail Glasses: Take your pick of mountain peaks hand-blown by expert craftsmen from 100% lead-free glass.
- Stanley Flask: 8oz with Never-Lose Cap, Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Hip Flask.
Clothes Refresh:
- Vuori clothing. Chrissie’s husband isn’t one to splurge on tee shirts or shorts, but once he got his hands on these shirts, shorts, and pants there was no looking back. For more dressed-up casual looks (and work) these pants are now his go-to. The collared shirt is also for ‘nice casual’, as are the ‘nicer’ shorts. The joggers are for weekend wear or very casual work attire. And lastly, the workout shirt is for exercise. He’s found his uniform.
- Peter Millar 1/4 Zip Pullover. It’s not a casual sweatshirt, but not a sweater either – more like a super soft upscale sweatshirt that Chrissie’s husband has worn pretty much daily since getting for Christmas a year and a half ago. He’s got it in 3 colors now and those and his Vuori items are all he wears!
- ABC Pant from Lululemon: The Ramsay men love these pants and have them in multiple colors. They don’t wrinkle, are breathable, have 4-way stretch, and retain their shape.
- Cashmere socks: 3 times warmer than wool socks and sososososo soft. They are a treat for the feet!
Couch Potato:
- Monogrammed Fleece Throw Blanket. I gave my father-in-law this fleece blanket and my mother-in-law stole it so I got her one as well. This cashmere one from Quince is also really nice if you want cashmere instead of fleece.
- Foot or Neck Massager: How about a good neck or foot massage while he watches he favorite show…or he can put the foot massager under his work desk (Chrissie has one and loves it – it heats the feet as well as massages them!)
Outdoor Enthusiast/Athletes:
- Goodr Sunglasses: For a lower-priced item that’s also great quality these Goodr glasses are great. The price can’t be beat so if you lose them you don’t need to freak out. My husband has two pair on rotation.
- Pickleball Racquets
- Rumpl Camping Blanket: Featuring a DWR coating for water, stain, and odor resistance, this insulated puffer blanket is perfect for camping, hiking, traveling, picnics, beach days, and more. It repels water, dirt, sand, spilled drinks, and pet hair. Available in a variety of colors and prints.
- Rucking Vest: All the rage these days, rucking vests add an extra challenge to a workout routine with added resistance to help build strength, endurance, and improve overall fitness.
Patagonia Houdini Windbreaker: Weighing in at under 4oz, this lightweight, packable jacket is great for runners or hikers when a lightweight, windbreaker is needed.
Misc:
- Braun Shaving Kit: THIS 8-IN-1 CURATED style kit meets all the needs: trim, detail, body groom, precision shave, and trim your ears and nose
- Portable tire pump which may seem like an odd gift but it really works great and can live in the car (we’ve used it many times actually!).
