12 Father's Day Gifts Our Editors Are Buying on Amazon

My dad has worked in construction for most of his life, as a result he loves two things: lunch boxes and the workwear brand for all working men, Carhartt. This combination of the two feels like the perfect mix. —Krista Jones, commerce director

I strive to be more creative than this. This year, I’m really hoping this New York or Nowhere x Mets hoodie comes back in stock in time, but I'm not optimistic. For this type of year when I come up empty on new ideas with Father’s Day mere days away, I can never go wrong with my dad’s longtime favorite cologne. (It’s truly the only one he’s ever worn since I was a kid.) Get this one, or grab your own dad's all-time favorite. —Cristina Corvino, deputy commerce managing editor

You want the honest to god truth? I’m going to send the man a punny card with a nice note and $150. Then I'll text him Esquire links about sotol, baiju, and bourbon. Trying liquor and calling to debrief is our regular form of communication. Plus, whenever he’s in New York or I’m home in Georgia, we try to have something new to open for the other.

But if I were to buy a physical something, I’d get him these whiskey glasses with a topographic of Half Dome from Huckberry. I got him a decanter the brand did in collaboration with The Explorer’s Club, and he loves that. These would finish the set. —Luke Guillory, commerce editor

Papa has a penchant for a relatively high-maintenance shaving routine. It typically consists of old-school instruments, like fine shaving brushes and shaving soaps in tubs, that serve a ritual purpose. After borrowing my Wahl trimmer, he's on the market to update some old-school habits to further finesse his meticulous routine. A new gadget like this trimmer will do just the trick given his demanding taste. —Alfonso Fernandez Navas, senior editor of style and market

My husband was never a big koozie guy, until he discovered these insulated ones from YETI. He uses them all summer long, and we’ve gifted them to most of the men in our family over the years. I'll get him a new color to add to the collection. —Lauren Smith, director, commerce editorial

My dad splits his time between Dallas and Guatemala City and always needs to look jet set-ready. His monogrammed socks need to match his belt, and his dress shirt has to be perfectly ironed. That type of stuff. For luggage to match his crisp appearance, I'd get him a Tumi backpack. —Andrea Rios, fashion assistant

I have the rare husband who’s obsessed with self care and meditation. I already know he will be obsessed with this HigherDose Suana Blanket and spend all his free time using it since he's a new, tired dad. But selfishly, I’m going to get this for him, so I can use it for myself. —K.J.

My dad needs a new phone, or so my mom keeps reminding me. If you’re in the same boat, I’ll let you in on a little secret. You don’t have to get your 80-year-old father a brand new iPhone 16 Pro Max with the best cameras and top-notch Apple artificial intelligence. You can find a perfectly good refurbished smartphone on Amazon well within gifting budget. And you know he will use it every single day because, well, it’s a new phone to him. —Bryn Gelbart, associate commerce editor

If there’s one thing my husband loves, it’s his tech. Plus, he welcomes anything that will level up his home office setup. One of his favorite gifts to date has been this handy charging station from Anker that streamlines his desk. No more pesky single cords hanging around, and it allows him to charge his phone, AirPods, and Apple Watch all at once. —Mackenzie Dunn, senior commerce manager

I also tend to buy something for my older brother who has kids around Father’s Day. He’s not my dad, but I love him and my nephews a lot, so it’s a thing I like to do. He and our dad are EDC guys, so I could actually double up on this one. I want to get one of these Combat Assistance Campagne (C.A.C) knives used by the French military. They’re made by TB Outdoor, a French knife maker that’s owned by families who have been making cutlery since the 1600s. These knives are military surplus, so they have all the hardcore stuff you’d expect like a strap cutter, window breaker, and reverse clip. Then there’s also a slightly more rare version that has a corkscrew because, well… they’re French. —L.G.

I got my husband this rolling knife sharpener for Father’s Day last year, and he uses it more than I ever thought he would. We both do, actually. It’s so easy to use and in a few rolls our knives are razor sharp. It’s also just a cool kitchen tool to own. Our houseguests see it and often want to try it out themselves. —Jessica Dukes, commerce editor

OK, last one. This is out of my budget, but I’ll say it because my dad has been asking after one for a while now. Ooni makes killer pizza ovens. We’re always awarding the brand in our year-end Gadget Awards. My favorite version is the Karu, because you can cook with wood or charcoal for that live fire taste, but you can also hook up a propane tank for something easier. It gets hot enough for blistered Neapolitan style pies, and I know the old man would have a blast with it. Might be one where all the brothers pitch in for a Christmas gift. —L.G.
