When it comes to holiday gifting, Father’s Day can be an especially tricky case. Dads won’t often know what they want and will feed loved ones a few “I don’t know” or “I don’t want anything” lines in lieu of an in-depth wishlist. Instead of continuing to ask over and over, we’d advise taking matters into your own hands and snapping up a luxe gift for Dad that he’s sure to love—even if he doesn’t yet know it exists.
In pursuit of the perfect Father’s Day gift, we’ve rounded up a wide range of products across the home, grooming, and style categories that are sure to wow him. Need something for the coffee drinker in your life? There are smart mugs and sleek French presses for that. Stumped on what to get an avid plant dad? There are a few planters we’d recommend. Here, a closer look at everything that got the ELLE DECOR seal of approval this Father’s Day.
You could get Dad a no-frills ceramic coffee mug, but where’s the fun in that? Ember’s offering lets users control its temperature via an app, so a morning cup of joe won’t go cold when it’s left out. It works just as well for tea too and is available in white, gray, and red colorways.
Replica’s notes of clove, chestnut, and vanilla bring just the right amount of earthiness to a space and are sure to be an instant hit for Dad. If he really falls in love with it, the fragrance comes in a reed diffuser version as well.
Audiophiles will love and appreciate just about anything from Bang & Olufsen, but the Danish brand’s sleek, stylish home speaker should be top of the Father’s Day wishlist. Designed to fill a whole room with top-of-the-line audio, the natural oak finish also makes it a chic addition to the living room shelf or cocktail table.
One of the best parts of travel is luxuriating in a freebie hotel robe, so why not bring some of that experience home to Dad this holiday? Parachute’s cozy Turkish cotton robe comes in a wide range of muted colorways, and it’s a luxe option that won’t completely break the bank.
Level up Dad’s morning routine with a French press that’s a cut above the standard glass options on the market. Clean geometries and elegant stainless steel come together in Georg Jensen’s offering for a coffee accessory that’s sure to brighten up the kitchen counter (and Dad’s a.m. commute).
Since wallets are such an everyday accessory, there’s a good chance that Dad has endured enough wear-and-tear to merit a chic designer replacement. Gucci’s comes in a taupe leather as well as a brighter orange hue, plus the fashion house’s signature double G motif.
When it comes to gifting, chocolate is always a good idea. Even better is a set of bars from the mind of renowned chef Thomas Keller. Flavors range from classic milk chocolate to more distinct offerings like yuzu and truffle fries.
This bag from the Four Seasons is the perfect gift for the on-the-go dad. Inspired by the look of vintage luggage, the brown leather bag also comes in a green option, should he want a bit more pizzazz for his luxe carry-on.
Skincare isn’t something that every dad will splurge on for himself, so why not surprise him with a gift set that has just about everything he’ll need to get started? Jackfir’s set includes a facial cleanser, moisturizer, and shave cream, so Dad can look and feel his best in no time.
A good bedside charger is a gift that keeps on giving, especially a wireless one with space to store watches, keys, and other accessories. Made of Belgian linen, Courant’s sleek charger is also available in a range of leather options, so it will suit just about any dad’s sense of style.
Unlike a candle, an essential oil diffuser like the Aromini gives Dad some freedom of choice, letting him queue up a wide range of different fragrances from santal to thyme. You can always snag Aromatech’s Discovery Set too to help get him started.
Keep happy hour interesting with a set of Champagne flutes that immediately stand out from the rest. MAX ID NY’s design combines geometries to create a beautiful set of glasses that masterfully catch the light. Just add bubbly....
If, like the rest of us, Dad can’t get enough of The White Lotus, then it may be time to splurge on a new luxe pair of espadrilles. Perfect for the neighborhood barbecue or the Italian riviera, they’re a stylish staple in any wardrobe.
In addition to runway couture, Balmain dabbles in hair-care couture; the latter makes for the perfect gift for Dad. With notes of bergamot and sandalwood, this gel will keep styles in place and smelling great.
The gift of sleep is the gift that keeps on giving, and few things will help Dad catch more z’s than a Brooklinen pillow. The soft-yet-supportive cushion is a must-have in any bedroom—and won’t completely break the bank either.
For the sporty sort, we’d recommend snagging a canvas pickleball bag that Dad can take to the court. Tangerine Paddle makes a myriad of fun, colorful paddles, in addition to its striped tote; you can even customize a gift package combining the two via the website.
The budding mixologist will appreciate this set, which includes a corkscrew, bottle opener, ice scoop, and jigger. It’s plenty chic too: The embossed leather handles combines seamlessly with stainless steel for a classic, elegant look.
Falcon Enamelware’s minimalist-chic offerings will be right up Dad’s alley, especially, in this case, if he enjoys a cup of tea with breakfast or brunch. The set is also available in green, red, gray, and black, so there are both bold options and more subdued ones.
