Last Minute Father’s Day Gift Guide for Any Dad - Page 7
Father’s Day is Sunday, June 18 and if you haven’t grabbed a gift for the fathers (or even father figures) in your life— from your own dear old dad to your best homeboy with a newborn—we’ve compiled a list of items to consider for that special day.
And to make things a little more interesting, we’ve categorized each gift idea by definitive characteristics, because after all, no two dads are exactly the same, right?
If you’re shopping for an avid jetsetter, we have a few options here or maybe Pops is a Jay Z fan—there’s something that’ll fit his tastes in this gift guide, too.
Take a moment, run through our gift guide and bookmark a few things for yourself while you’re here. Be sure to leave the screen up in front of your kids, no need to be subtle.
He’s Always At the Airport
Shinola Leather Travel Kit in Bourbon — $295
Your pops may travel pretty frequently but he still considers himself low-maintenance, throwing all toiletries in a Ziploc and calling it a day. It doesn’t have to be like this though, beloved. Cop this handy little Travel Kit from the Shinola company (based in Detroit!) and allow your dad a little class when he’s moving around from state to state. Buttery soft leather on the outside and pragmatic canvas within, just in case something springs a leak.
Samsonite Silhouette XV 21″ Hardside — $249.99
As a grown man, you ought to have at least one respectable piece of luggage, and if you’re always at the airport for one reason or another, then you already know how much wear and tear suitcases end up enduring. Any one of Samsonite’s Silhouette XV Hardside pieces would be the perfect replacement for your father’s old luggage. The Polypro exterior is tough enough to last through countless occasions of careless and rough handling by airline crews. The Tru-Trac wheel system makes the Silhouettes easy to maneuver and the 21″ Hardside is still light enough where he can glide to his gate without struggling with the weight of his bag.

He Takes Care of His Beard At The Crib
Bevel Rechargeable Electric Trimmer — $199.95
Your homie scoffs whenever you suggest receiving the “proper shave” at a barbershop, because honestly, who has time for that? Between parent-teacher meetings, late night tummy aches and still having to clock in somewhere, he’s better off taking care of his grooming at home. Besides, he may not trust anyone else to touch his beard. Fair enough. The Bevel Rechargable Electric Trimmer is an easy way to make sure he’s taken care of while taking care of himself.
He’s Always Ready to Roll Up
Benny Box — 24 Wallets, 10 Papers Each — $160
Your favorite cousin has always been an advocate for the legalization of weed and finally, things are beginning to look up. Once the kids are down for bed, gift him with a Benny Box from Empire Rolling Papers. He’s probably seen Rick Ross promoting the papers on the Gram, even gifting Curren$y with a few. The papers are organic, GMO-free and totally safe to smoke — they’re non-toxic, lab tested, printed on vegetable paper with water-based ink and use a sugar adhesive. And they just look cool! It’s like using a big face to roll up. BTW, if you can’t find any locally before Sunday, the company also ships via Amazon Prime.
He Remembers the Days Before Yachty
Ateaelle ‘Old Atlanta’ Tee — $25
No knock on the younger generation of artists anywhere, of course, but this dad may appreciate a breathable tee that reminds him of the soulfulness of the Dungeon Family without insulting whatever Yachty and ’em have going on.
He’s Partial to Fragrances
Maison Margiela MMM Replica By the Fireplace — $126
There’s something about the smell of a fireplace that taps into a memory of peace and comfort. This fragrance from Maison Margiela may be a bit too hearty (to some) for the summer with it’s notes of Orange Flower, Chestnuts and Vanilla, but it’s pretty exclusive and still doable as a signature scent. This is one that you can pretty much guarantee everyone won’t be wearing.
He’s Always Been a Primper, Low Key
philosophy for men
— renewed razor sharp cleansing shave cream — $20
— the microdelivery face and body scrub — $28
— renewed hope mattifying moisturizer — $36
If you know for a fact that this particular dad doesn’t stop at shaving — he indulges in regular exfoliation and so on — philosophy has a line just for men that includes the renewed razor sharp cleansing shave cream which softens the hair being shaven as well as the skin underneath. Once he takes care of the errant hairs, the best way to clear those pores and get rid of that dead skin left behind is with the microdelivery scrub and finally, a few dabs of the renewed hope mattifying moisturizer is bound to set him up for greatness without his face having that puberty shine.
He’s a Yankee Fan Till the End
There’s something about that navy and white, even better when it’s combined with a Yankees symbol. Vans got it right with this offering from their MLB collection. Cop these SK8-His for your brother, so he can rep even while chasing his kids on the playground.
He Can Spit Reasonable Doubt From Beginning to End, No Breaks
Madeworn x Roc 96 Jay Z Dead Presidents Tee in Dirty White & Black — $161
Maybe you can put your bid in to receive this one as a gift. Especially since you’re the only one in the whole crew who can spit every line to “D’Evils” without tripping up once.
He Has a Decent Golf Swing
Top Golf Fathers Day Promo — $75-$115
If there’s a Top Golf in your area and your dad swears he was supposed to be living the life of Tiger Woods circa ’96, you’ve got to remind him — in order to be Tiger then, you gotta be Tiger now. Once those logistics have been worked out, set up a reservation for one of their bays. For two hours of Topgolf gameplay, the cost is $115 but if you reserve bays for the first time slot of the day, reservations are only $75 per bay.
He Started Juicing ‘Cause Styles P Said So
Cuisinart Electric Juicer Stainless Steel CJE-1000 — $149
One of your best guys from home, has decided to only do the chicken spot on occasion and get with this juice movement. After all, he has his own family to live for and Styles and Jada swear by fresh juice daily. Show your support for his strides in good health and grab him one of these Cuisinarts for Father’s Day.
He’s a Sucker For The Details
Miansai Modern Anchor on Rope, Navy — $70
This dad takes his time getting dressed, careful not to miss a single opportunity to stunt — but always low-key. Just adding a little something extra to emphasize the flyness of the fit. Something like this Rope Bracelet from Miansai would be perfect, hinting at a bit of style even on a super casual day.
He Prefers Everything on Vinyl
Crosley Cruiser Deluxe Portable 3-Speed Turntable with Bluetooth — $65.99
Help your granddad step into the millennial arena with one of these turntables. It would essentially be a happy medium — allowing him to play as much of his old wax as his heart desires and once the grandkids come through, they can show him how to hook his phone up to it. Pretty dope bonding experience.
