This coming Sunday (June 16), fathers around the nation will gather with their families and hopefully, get some well-deserved relaxation. A typical Father’s Day tradition is giving gifts to Dad and we’ve got a wide array of gifts for the fathers or father figures in your life.
Father’s Day typically centers on Dad getting a meal, his favorite drink, perhaps letting him command the remote control for the day, and other ways to make the big guy feel special. There is usually an emphasis on “real dude” stuff like cigars, whiskey, and grilling tools. While all of that is fine and dandy, Dads these days aren’t so easy to figure out.
In our travels, we’ve encountered Dads who like to explore nature, grow plants, expand their accessories collection, update their fashion, and even get into some games. This list is another hefty one but we feel it covers the gamut of possibilities for the best gifts for Father’s Day.
Some of the gift ideas below have appeared in guides we’ve done in times past, along with several new entrants. As always, we’ll mention anything we know about the products, especially ones we’ve had the honor of trying out ourselves.
For now, peruse the gift guide, and Happy Father’s Day to all.
NOTE: This post will get continual updates throughout the week.

Aerangis is the creation of Alicia Tsai, who was inspired by her gardening grandfather who routinely gifted her aerangis orchids from his greenhouse.

3. Arca Gear
I don’t know much about Arca Gear but I love what they’re about. As someone who loves long walks, having a place to store all my goods while on the go is a chore. Arca Gear handles that and more with enough space in its Arca Gear Hyrdo Carrier for bottles up to 64 oz in size.

4. Atacz
Atacz is a company that has serious aims of repurposing plastic waste and transforming it into a fiber that can be sewn into its variety of carrying bags, totes, and more. From bottles to bags, that’s pretty dope.

5. Aura
Aura is all about WiFi-connected digital photo frames that come in a variety of sizes, styles, and finishes. I have a digital photo frame but it’s on the older side and requires a memory card upload to cycle out the images. You won’t have that issue with Aura as it comes equipped with an app where other users can share their memories too, and it even plays videos. That’s awesome.

6. Bellabu Bear
Dads deserve comfy, silky soft pajamas too and Bellabu Bear fits the bill. Designed at first to help the founder’s daughter rest well at night and not irritate her skin, Bellabu Bear is the only clothing brand to be recognized by the National Eczema Association. The brand is perfect for Dads with sensitive skin and I can confirm these are some of the comfiest pajamas I’ve ever worn.

7. Bevel
Bevel should be familiar to readers of CASSIUS as we’ve featured the brand many times over the years. I’m hoping to try out the beard care pack soon because I take pride in my face follicles. Also, as most should know, Bevel was founded by Tristen Walker and that’s something we always want to highlight so salute!

9. Couchmaster Cycon 2 by Nerdytec
I’ve been a remote worker for well over a decade and like all home workers, I’ve picked up the bad habit of placing my very expensive laptop in precarious positions, including my lap. The Couchmaster Cycon 2 by Nerdytec, a device we’ve covered before, seems to be a solution for folks like me and also for gamers who want to lay up comfortably. I haven’t tried out the device yet but I hope to do so soon.

10. Dometic
I’m not necessarily what you would call an outdoorsman but a lot of my buds are and I’ve come across some great rugged coolers and the like over the years. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like what Dometic has to offer. The CFX2 looks to be the brand’s latest innovation and electric coolers sound like something I need in my life.

11. GREEN
GREEN builds upon the science of ORT (Oral Rehydration Therapy) and adds caffeine to the mix in its mission to hydrate and energize. The husband and wife team designed GREEN for morning and afternoon uses, or as they say, rituals, and you can even customize your orders.

12. High Camp Flasks
It seems mad cliche, but flasks are truly a great Father’s Day gift. But why be boring about it? If you want to impress Dad, get him a flask from the homies at High Camp Flasks. I’ve been using High Camp Flasks for a few years on my camping trips and sometimes when I’m just hanging out on my deck and want to relax. Rugged and reliable, High Camp Flasks will impress your Pops.

13. Hippy Feet
Of the brands I’ve covered in this gift guide, I can give readers a resounding cosign for Hippy Feet. Not only are their socks fly as hell but they donate a portion of their sales to help unhoused youth. As someone who spent time in the streets, this warms my heart. Get Dad some dope socks and tell Hippy Feet D.L. Chandler sent you.

14. Houston White
Houston White does it all. Fashion, hair and body products, coffee, you name it, the Minneapolis native has his hands in something fresh. I’ve tried out the full lineup of hair and body products and I recommend Houston White fully.

15. Kamsah
The North African cooking method of using tagine pots makes the task of cooking an artful one, especially if Dad is into the slow-roasted flavor. Kamsah honors the tradition via its tagine pots handcrafted by artists in Tunisia and also specializes in serving dishes for hosting as well. If Dad is a foodie, Kamsah is the gift to get. Available on Amazon.

16. Keeki
I don’t know much about baking bread but I do enjoy eating bread. That said, if you’ve got a Dad who likes to bake bread, Keeki has a solution to keep the loaves fresher for longer via its beeswax lining and easy open-and-close method. Time to get to baking!

17. King Kongin
Energy drinks have been the rage for years but plenty of them are loaded with sugars, and artificial colors and generally taste like some mid. King Kongin claims to bring something new to the space with zero sugar, zero carbs, no artificial colors, and 180 grams of caffeine to give Dad a good boost before a workout or before hitting the links. Master P, Snoop Dogg, and bodybuilder NDO Champ are brand ambassadors, so some official people from the culture stamp it.

18. Kubo Tea
If Dad is like most of us and enjoys a hot cup of joe in the morning, sometimes it doesn’t always work well with us. Kubo Tea wants to be add its name to the hat of your Dad’s morning ritual with organic green teas packed with vitamins and herbal boosts such as lion’s mane mushrooms to help jumpstart the day without any of the crash.

19. LâMO
I’ll keep it one million with you. I’m not a beach person. Summer is not my favorite time of year, I can’t swim, it’s too hot, I can keep going. That said, I put on a pair of LâMO and now I’m ready to hit the sands. I think it was from a place of sheer ignorance, but I never knew flip-flops could be this comfortable. If your Dad is a beachgoer, this is an easy cop. And they’ve got far more than just flip-flops too. Color me interested.

20. LAST SAINTS
I’m not ashamed to say that even at my seasoned age, I’m most comfortable in streetwear. LAST SAINTS specializes in this and they’ve got a fly lineup of graphic t-shirts featuring all the NBA teams in the old-and-new-again oversized fit style that my generation perfected (I had to stunt). They also have hoodies, sneakers, and more.

21. Moss Air
I shared Moss Air in last month’s Mother’s Day gift guide and I’ve been rocking it ever since. I’d post a photo but currently, my home is a wreck so we’ll get that photo shoot going later. That said, I am sneezing less, and breathing better, and I give credit to the Moss Air unit. It also looks good in the home. If your Dad gets the sniffles around this time of year due to impurities in the air, this is what he needs.

22. Mr. Turk
Mr. Turk is the menswear line from California designer Trina Turk, who founded her company alongside her husband Jonathan Skow back in 1995. This is a brand for men unafraid of colors and has that West Coast breezy vibe they’re known for.

23. NOBULL
Founded in 2015 by Marcus Wilson and Michael Schaffer, NOBULL specializes in athletic apparel and footwear. Based in Boston, they’re also connected with a pretty famous and recently retired NFL quarterback you may have heard of. That said, we’re digging the floral print of their NOBULL footwear because Dads love flowers too.

24. Oyin Handmade
I’ve been using Oyin Handmade for several years now and it is the most consistent hair product I’ve ever used. Each time I made the foolish choice of abandoning the brand, my hair paid the price. The Levi Fisher Bundle, which is pictured, is for all the bearded Dads up there and I’ve purchased this bundle many times since its initial release.

25. Phonelace Miami
If you’re someone who has the butterfingers like me, you the pain of dropping your phone and ruining those very expensive devices. Phonelace Miami has a solution with its attachable lanyards and straps allowing Dad to wear his phone and also access it when handy. They have a lot of neutral styles but if your Dad is like me, go for a wild color.

26. Probiomlyte
I’ve been in a long battle with my gut health and just in the past few months have I begun to understand the science of probiotics. Probiomlyte, produces a hydration solution along with probiotics, promising that their product will deliver super thirst satiation and other benefits. I’ve been using the brand for a couple of days for my post-workout sip and I’m enjoying it.

27. Razer
If your Dad is into the Meta Quest 3 bag like I am, hear me out. I love the Meta Quest 3. It’s easily the best device of its kind that I’ve used but the included head strap is not my favorite. Razer’s head strap makes for a much easier time. The brand also has Bluetooth headphones and a bevy of other gaming accessories that’ll have Dad slicing sabers and blasting aliens in no time.

28. Rewind It 10
One of life’s inevitable moments as a man is that your hair is going to change colors with age. If you’re not quite ready to embrace the salt and pepper life, Rewind It 10 will, well, help you rewind it a decade. As you can see, the brand is endorsed by Fat Joe, Tyson Beckford, DJ Khaled, and others so it’s definitely official.

Starter, a leader in sports-related fashion, partnered with the Giants to launch a new 1925 Collection honoring the team’s inaugural season. Starter also has other offerings like MLB varsity jackets, Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks gear, and more.
33. Sucker Punch
When I was a kid, my Nana used to make my brother and me lunch sandwiches with pickles from my Pop-Pop’s garden. They made their own bread and butter, dill, and spicy pickles. Sucker Punch, a brand I’ve been snacking on for years, brings back a lot of nostalgic feelings. Going beyond traditional pickles, the brand has electrolyte shots, snack packs, and more.

34. There’s Work to Be Done. (An Official Yellowstone Quote Book)
Yellowstone, a series created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, was one of the first times I breezed through a show and felt that the story was told as clearly as possible. The popular series has spawned several spinoffs and IP, including the new book There’s Work to Be Done. (An Official Yellowstone Quote Book). If you’ve seen the show, straight talk reigns supreme on the Dutton cattle ranch. Also, one of my grandparents was indigenous and I’m always fascinated to see his people have their stories told. Get this book if Dad is into Yellowstone.

35. The Southern Scholar
As a remote worker, I don’t get a lot of opportunities to show off my “good clothes” as my mother would say but I do have some fly stuff in the closet. One area that I struggle with is the dress sock game but The Southern Scholar got me completely together. Founder Kevin Wohlman grew tired of dress sock options that slouched and didn’t employ the look he was going for and went all-in by ditching the world of finance to begin The Southern Scholar. Mr. Wohlman, you’re appreciated.

36. Tonnino
One of the first meals I made as a kid that I eventually perfected is what I call my Kitchen Sink Tuna Salad, which involves a top-secret (kidding) blend of herbs, spices, mayo, and more. I won’t mention the brands I used but none of them appeared to be of the quality I’m seeing with Tonnino. I haven’t tried the brand yet but I’m intrigued by its lineup of marinated tuna filets, tuna in tins, and even salmon filets. If your Dad likes to chef it up or is trying to employ sustainable and ethical eating to his routine, this looks to be a great place to start.

37. Torras Coolify Neck Fan Collection
Torras specializes in a variety of smartphone cases for both Apple and Samsung devices, and those appear to be their top-selling items. However, the dog days of summer are here for many across the United States and neck fans are in. The brand’s Coolfiy collection is neck fans with style featuring a range of devices for all kinds of uses. If your Dad runs hot, get him a Coolify neck fan this Father’s Day.

38. Tote&Carry
I came across the Tote&Carry brand most unusually. I was watching Rapsody, a world-class rapper out of North Carolina, who sat down with music executive Ray Daniels for The Artist Spotlight. At the end of their chat, Daniels handed Rap a bag from Tote&Carry, and the quality struck me. I discovered they also make bags and apparel for men. I haven’t tried out any of their products but from the looks of things, the founders Tony Rey and Tony Dennis are well on their way to greatness.

39. The WHEAT Collectiom
Founded by actor Huw Collins and his wife Molly Shaeehen, The WHEAT Collection is all about comfortable style and design. Depending on Dad’s style, you’ll find polos, shorts, t-shirts, and more all adorned with the names of famous cities across the States.

40. Turtle Beach
The gamers out there know that Turtle Beach is a leader in the accessories space with high-end headsets, controllers, keyboards, and more. Covering major consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox, Dad’s gaming needs will be covered. Be sure to check out the brand’s Stealth 600 Gen 3 headset that we have featured here.

41. Watex
My late Pop-Pop was an interesting man. He wasn’t much into socializing, the total opposite of my Nana, who loved entertaining guests. Pop spent a lot of time in the garden and the vegetables and fruit he grew became part of his wife’s spread often. I bet he’d be tickled to see folks getting into home gardening. No, literally, gardening in the home. Watex, founded by Denise Sung, offers a solution for people who want to grow produce in the comforts of home while learning a valuable skill.

42. What’s Next? A Life Sized Drinking Game
If Dad is into game night, make it a fun one with the What’s Next? A Life Sized Drinking Game. This game from the M&J Games company is literally life-sized as players have to engage in a series of silly tasks in order to advance. If you don’t complete the task, you’ll have to take a drink. But what I love about this is you don’t have to add booze to the mix, any drink will do.

43. Vincero
I’m pretty certain that Vincero will be in the mix anytime I put together a gift guide. The brand specializes stellar pieces such as watches for men and women, along with jewelry and they drop new high-quality designs so frequently that you’re going to want to invest in a box to display the wares. Treat Dad to a timepiece that won’t crack the wallet but certainly looks like it did.
