What do Dads Want for Father’s Day?
Hi there,
It’s June—and if you’re like me, you’ve probably just started thinking about Father’s Day gifts for dads. Maybe you’re even doing a little browsing for yourself and dropping some not-so-subtle hints to your family. I’m here to share my honest thoughts on the topic.
At the ripe age of 39, I’ve had my fair share of Father’s Days—buying gifts for my dad, occasionally for my older brother, and now, on the eve of my 5th Father’s Day as a dad myself. These days, all I really want are practical Father’s Day gifts—things I use regularly that make my life easier. I’m talking socks, underwear, and other daily essentials.
Sorry to break it to you, kids and moms, but novelty shirts, hats, and mugs are cute—but unless Dad collects those things, they’re usually not necessary. Maybe a good idea for his first Father’s Day, but that’s it.
Before I had kids, my ideal gifts were things for my car, sports gear, and (drumroll)… new socks and underwear. Yes, even back then.
In a recent Instagram Reel, I was shown relaxing in a bubble bath. It was nice—not going to lie— even if it was filmed for our brand. Still, the message in the post holds true: men appreciate a well-crafted liquor, beer, or cigar. Giving Dad time where he can unwind is good for him. Whether he enjoys it alone or shares it with friends, quality items like these bring positive vibes and create memorable moments.
If you’re looking for unique Father’s Day ideas, think less novelty, more purpose.
Alone time—at least twice a week—is essential for a dad’s mental and physical well-being. Whether it’s the gym, a round of golf, the barbershop, or just hanging out with the guys for a few hours, this time helps recharge his battery.
Good hygiene tools are underrated. Introducing guys to high-quality soap, beard oil, or manscaping products doesn’t just make them smell and feel more attractive—it can do wonders for their partners too. Win-win, right?
This is where a great partner comes in. If a man has someone who tells him the truth and supports his growth, that’s a keeper. If he needs time off from the kids and his partner sees that, he’s going to show up as a better husband, dad, and overall human being. Of course, this takes communication, patience, and effort from both sides. All good things take time, love, and the right environment to grow.
And yes—Dad should be recognizing this too. Mutual support is the goal. #PowerCouple (if hashtags are still cool).
Now, let’s talk about a real game-changer for Dad: a backpack that does it all.
The Day Trip Backpack is like a Swiss Army knife for fatherhood. Not only is it a top-tier diaper bag (complete with a changing pad, tote bag, and pacifier pouch), but it also shines as a travel companion. It has a built-in insulated cooler, making it perfect for vacations, beach days, or hot afternoons at the park. It fits a large ice pack plus snacks and drinks for the whole family.
And get this—Dad can also use it as a work bag. With enough space for a large-screen laptop, packed lunch, and post-work gym clothes, it’s the most multifunctional bag out there. We designed it with all stages of manhood—or as I like to call it, Dadhood—in mind.
So whether you’ve already found the perfect gift for the dad in your life or you’re still unsure, here are 5 tips to guide you in finding the best gifts for dads in 2025:
