The 25 Best Gifts for Dads, Grads, and the Other Well-Groomed Guys in Your Life

This hardworking mask is both an anti-aging LED mask and an eye-area massager in one. Not to mention, it looks very Jason Voorhees-esque, so horror film fans will appreciate that. Luckily, he can’t do any hilarious sneak-ups on you with this mask on, it’ll be glowing when he uses it. Oh, and most importantly: It’s going to help him look younger, longer.  Read more about it here.

Have you seen Brad Pitt lately? Sure, the guy’s got A-list stylists and groomers on speed dial, but behind that globetrotting schedule is this 3-step skincare routine. Let’s call it Pitt’s red-carpet-ready regimen—and now it’s Dad’s twice-daily routine, too. We’d be remiss not to tout their recent hand cream launch too, which uses the brand’s same signature age-defying antioxidant/resveratrol recipe to reduce dark spots and slow other signs of wear.

The gift of scent discovery—nay, the gift of luxury scent discovery. Whether Dad wants to rotate scents every month or study up on the latest launches before picking his next signature scent, well, LuxSB has him covered.My ost recent gem of a discovery from the tastemakers: MEMO Paris’s date-centric Abu Dhabi (as in, the date fruit, alongside oils of cardamom and vetiver)… exquisite stuff.

Finally, a bath mat that ages well, not to mention, casts an aromatic hinoki scent when it gets wet. The wood famously resists mold, and this one comes straight from Japan. (Just like everything that luxe bath brand Amayori offers.)

This candle imagines the sun clearing gray skies over the Scottish Highlands and the royal grounds. Musk, moss, mint, freesia, foliage, and freshly mown grass… it’s uplifting and rousing, the perfect transportive gift for dad—and it pairs well with whiskey, naturally.

This marble shave bowl has the heft of a bowling ball, and looks simply statuesque on dad’s sink ledge. That’s saying nothing of the luscious lather that the Marseille-style soap builds up (and its herbaceous-resinous aroma). In fact, every single product from Eredi Zucca Milano is A+ grooming gift material, from manicure sets to safety razors, from hair brushes to shave brushes, from hand cream to leather travel cases.

Porto-based Tatara makes some of the finest and most thoughtful shaving tools. And speaking of finest, they’ve used the finest badger hair possible for this premium brush, with maximum water retention and shave lather. Between that and the stainless steel handle, Dad will be counting down the seconds til his next shave.

Herringbone lining, silver embossed shiny calfskin, hand or wrist carry… Loewe’s Puzzle collection is geometric perfection, and this wash bag is a standout from the lineup.

A favorite recent launch of ours, Naomi’s trio of gritty soaps neutralizes any garlicky, raw-meaty, or other pungent aromas from the mitts after food prep. It uses natural deodorants from bread yeasts to break down odors, and leaves skin feeling soft and smelling great (or at least smelling neutral, should you opt for their fragrance-free bottle).

This striped, plush, woven robe carefully toes the line between “style icon” and “guy who retrieves his newspaper from the porch and yells ‘Morning, Stuart!’ to the neighbor.” Dad can have it both ways, and at least Stuart will shout back “Hey nice robe, Herb!”

One of the cooler ways we’ve seen (and sniffed) scent diffusion… this terracotta pomegranate radiates warmth with its chypre expression of bergamot, pom, spices, musk, and oakmoss. No matter which room it occupies, it steals the show with its beautiful, centering scent.

It’s increasingly common to have a sauna installed at home—whether in the backyard or in the basement. There are plenty of brands to browse for this, and maybe Dad will want to have a say in the design itself. Bottom line: Your siblings will never outdo this gift; you’re officially Dad’s favorite.

These towels are every bit as iconic as Pendleton’s blankets—and every bit as soft, too. Take it to the beach, hang it by the shower, it doesn’t matter; in any case, it’s a tasteful (and absorbent) statement.

Nobody makes combs quite as cool as Machete’s, the Atlanta-based brand known for using Italian acetate in inventive ways. We think a majority of dads would dig this blue dual-toothed number, which definitely has more flair than anything they’ve seen at the barber shop.

A lot of brands like to call themselves “the Ferrari of [insert industry here],” even when their products aren’t muscled up and moving at lightning speeds. So let’s call Bolin Webb’s R1 the BMW of razors instead—a true enthusiasts’ tool that has a cult following, is high quality but accessible, and even uses Gillette Mach 3 razors so it’s not too exclusive. He’ll feel pretty damn special with this on his sink ledge and will think of you each time he freshens up.

Giving someone a fragrance is a veritable minefield—you don’t want to waste money on a full bottle of something he might not like. Instead, consider services such as LuxSB – Luxury Scent Box (a monthly subscription that sends samples so he can find new favorites, or simply occasionally switch up his roster) as well as the sample section of LuckyScent, where you can curate an offering, let him pick a favorite, and then gift him the full size.

And don’t forget that many fragrance brands offer curated sample sets. Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Fragrance Wardrobe for Him is among the best of these, and offers eight best sellers from the luxury brand’s assortment, all in 0.37-oz. vessels. He can either rotate through them depending on the occasion or use the experience to find a new favorite among the roster. Our money is on Gentle Fluidity Silver EDP, but let’s see where he lands.

Braun poured the entirety of its glittering history in the world of industrial design into the Series 9 Pro+ shaver, which has been meticulously crafted to help your gift recipient look clean-shaven for longer. It comes with the sharpest foil razor the company has ever put into a shaver, a cleaning base designed to keep that razor sharper for longer, and a travel case that’ll keep the device charged for weeks on the road. If you’re shopping for someone who can’t grow a beard, look no further.

Remember that comment we made about brands calling themselves “the Ferrari of __”? Well, this superhero toothbrush comes close to that distinction. Beyond the Bluetooth integration, the paired tracking app, and the LED brush-head replacement reminders, this one also has a terrific charging case that allows you to keep it juiced up on the go. (Not that its long-lasting battery risks running low within the week.)

This follicle-saving gel won a Robb Report Grooming Award in 2023, thanks to its ability to absorb steadily into the dome, where it can fight follicle-shrinking hormonal byproducts. Best of all, it does so without disrupting the actual hormones in his body, since he’s applying the ingredients topically instead of ingesting it orally. One caveat: He will have to help fill out the submission form here, and provide photos so that Xyon’s doctors can help supervise the process and tailor his mailed prescription properly.

And in its bundled format, it saves you a little money so you can buy something nice for yourself.
