Ahead, find everything from hiking boots that go the distance to a virtual cooking class he’ll never forget.
Gas Pizza Oven
“We got my dad this pizza oven for Father’s Day last year and it’s probably his favorite gift we’ve ever gotten him. He uses it in the backyard almost every weekend (as long as the weather’s nice) and has so much fun showing guests how it works. Plus, it makes some of the best pizza we’ve ever had—to the point where we hardly ever order out for pizza anymore.”

Durable Hiking Boots
“I’m excited to get my dad a new pair of hiking boots. He’s an avid hiker and an outdoorsy person. He’s the type to go out for a walk even if it’s snowing because he always needs to reach his daily 10k steps goal. This shoe would allow him to take walks in any weather, and it’ll be comfortable on him for more intense hikes. Because of the pandemic, he hasn’t been able to go far for hikes, but now that he’s fully vaccinated and travel is starting to happen again, he’s been planning his next hiking adventure with my mom! I can already foresee him wearing these boots and enjoying the view from the Great Smoky Mountains."

Menswear Subscription Service
“Even before the pandemic, my dad’s wardrobe mainly consisted of loungewear. Can you blame him? Sweatpants and hoodies take the guesswork out of getting dressed every day, and who doesn’t love that? Contemporary menswear subscription service Menlo House does the same thing, but with much more elevated fashion options. At $60 per month, I can have 2-3 pieces of curated apparel from footwear to athleisurewear delivered to my dad’s doorstep.”

Popcorn Maker
“My dad never wanted anything expensive or fancy for Father’s Day, and I always look for simple gifts that bring joy to his life. So the first time I saw Colonel Popper, I knew it was the perfect gift for him. It’s a collapsable silicone bowl that makes a perfect batch of microwave popcorn every time. It serves as both a popping container and serving bowl, cleans easily and smushes down for storage. What’s not to love?”

Cozy Joggers
“I recently bought a pair of Vuori joggers for myself, and I love them so much I am getting a pair of men’s joggers for my dad this Father’s Day. The material is super soft and lightweight for summer months, and they come in a variety of colors to fit every dad’s style. I bought him a pair in charcoal heather.”
-Kim Peiffer, Deputy Editor
A Year of Soap
“My husband is a bar soap loyalist, so for Father's Day I'm upgrading his basic shower staple with this set from Caswell-Massey. The luxurious, triple-milled bars come in classic scents like warm sandalwood and sweet almond and last way beyond a few uses, making this 12-piece collection actually a full year’s worth.”

Handmade Pasta With Grandma
“My dad lives thousands of miles away in Mumbai, and I haven’t seen him since the start of the pandemic. So this Father’s Day, I decided to surprise him with the kind of gift I think he’ll truly appreciate—spending time together whipping up a delicious meal from scratch. We’ll both be tuning in from two different time zones and learning the art of pasta making from a sweet nonna in Italy. I hope he enjoys this experience as much as I have enjoyed planning it out!”
