SPF might not sound like the most exciting gift, but hear us out. Jack Black’s Face & Lip SPF Set covers the two spots dads are most likely to forget — face and lips — with an SPF moisturizer and an Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25, all for $22. Tuck it into a gift basket with his favorite treats and it goes from practical to genuinely thoughtful without much effort on your end.

Dossier’s Lost Americana—a 2026 NewBeauty Award winner for Best Genderless Fragrance, co-created with MGK—is the fragrance for the dad who doesn’t do boring. It opens with incense, almond and pink pepper before settling into a warm, earthy base of vetiver, patchouli, vanilla and a hint of chocolate.

If the dad in your life is into his health—or should be—the Oura Ring 4 is the gift that keeps giving data. The titanium smart ring tracks sleep, heart rate, HRV, body temperature and more, 24/7, from a device that looks like jewelry and wears like one too.

The accompanying Oura app translates all of it into actual insights like recovering smarter, sleeping better and stress tracking. It’s an investment, but one that tends to make people wonder how they functioned without it. Read our senior beauty editor’s review of the Oura Ring for more.

For the dad who treats sleep like the performance variable it is, the Hatch Restore 3 is the nightstand upgrade of all upgrades. The bedside device combines a sunrise alarm that wakes him with light before sound, syncing with his circadian rhythm rather than jolting him out of it.

For the dad who thinks splashing water on his face counts as a skin-care routine, Kiehl’s Classic Gentleman Collection is a two-step intervention he’ll actually stick to. The set pairs the Facial Fuel Invigorating Face Wash—a caffeine and menthol gel cleanser that wakes skin up like his morning coffee—with the Facial Fuel Moisturizer, a vitamin C and caffeine-infused formula that hydrates and leaves skin looking energized. Just remind him that daily SPF is still a must.

The HigherDOSE Full Body Red Light Mat isn’t for the faint of wallet, but for the dad deep in his wellness era, it might be exactly right. The full-body mat delivers dual-wavelength red and near-infrared light to support muscle recovery, mood, skin and sleep, and it’s versatile enough to lie on, drape over himself or hang on the wall. It’s basically a home wellness studio that folds up.

This one felt like a must-include; just be forewarned it might not arrive in time for Father’s Day, so go ahead and spoil the surprise in a card. Unlike most red light masks adapted from devices made for women, the Omnilux Men was clinically tested specifically on men’s skin, using red light at 633nm and near-infrared at 1072nm to target wrinkles, post-shave redness and uneven tone in 10 minutes flat.

The 2026 NewBeauty Award winner for “Best Immune Support Gummy,” Grüns Immün packs 13 ingredients, including vitamin C, zinc, elderberry, ashwagandha, turmeric and more, into a sour pineapple gummy that actually tastes good. It’s the supplement he’ll remember to take because it doesn’t feel like taking a supplement.

For the dad who wears many hats (focused worker, concert enthusiast, present parent, etc), the Loop Switch 2 might be the most useful thing in his ears all day. Three adjustable noise modes mean he can dial back a loud dinner, focus through a chaotic office or protect his hearing at a show without swapping anything out.

For the dad whose idea of a perfect day involves exactly zero lace-tying, the Bombas Friday Slide is the move. Lightweight EVA, a cushioned molded footbed and a waterproof build mean he can wear them from the backyard to the beach to the grocery store without a second thought. And if you’re cutting it close, Bombas offers priority shipping to get them there in time.

Factor (from $11/meal)

If you know he’s on a GLP-1 and struggling to keep his nutrition in line, a food delivery service like Factor might be the answer he’s been looking for. The brand’s GLP-1 Balance Menu was built for exactly that: fresh, never-frozen meals that are protein-forward and portion-controlled, ready in minutes, no meal prep required.

If he doesn’t have a signature scent yet (or you suspect he’d choose differently if given the chance), this is the gift. Sephora’s Father’s Day Cologne Sampler includes 15 sample-size fragrances plus a certificate to redeem a full-size bottle of whichever one wins.

If he’s constantly complaining about a sore back after workouts or a long day on his feet, get him the Theragun Mini Plus. It’s the only travel-sized Theragun with built-in heat—reaching 131°F in under 60 seconds—so it works faster and deeper than a standard massage gun.

The Nodpod is basically a weighted blanket for his eyes. Four microbead pods sit gently across his eyes and temples—applying just enough pressure to quiet an overactive mind and block out light—with cooling cotton on one side and cozy fleece on the other. Fair warning: you’re going to want to steal it.

He might not ask for it, but once he has it he won’t take it off. The Apple Watch Series 11 tracks everything from sleep quality (now with an actual sleep score that breaks down your night) to signs of high blood pressure, all on a full 24-hour charge, with 5G connectivity and a display twice as scratch-resistant as before.
