Every year, Father’s Day rolls around and we’re hard-pressed to find the perfect gift for the man who made us who we are while also devoting himself to his career. Whether he worked at home or abroad, on a construction site or in an office, your Dad deserves something special this year. If your old man is anything like ours, he’s still constantly working and throwing himself into his career even when he’s at home. These gifts will make his life more productive, a little easier or even more fun.
Best Made Company Spare Parts Trays
As much as we all try to stay organized, there are always going to be a certain amount of knick-knacks, writing implements, desktop tchotchkes and decorative display pieces that just can’t find a home on a properly organized desk. When it comes to clean desks, dad is generally as bad as we are. That’s why the Best Made Spare Parts Trays exist, a uniform and elegant organization system of multiple trays built in the USA from 22-gauge steel and designed to keep all small parts nice and tidy when in use or on display.

OXO Good Grips Cold Brew Coffee Maker
Quality shoes are essential. Great tech is a must. A properly stocked bar is almost a necessity.

Warmer weather is coming, and it’s high time you introduced the old man to the wonder that is one of the best cold brew coffee makers on the market, the OXO Good Grips Cold Brew Coffee Maker.

Whiskey Peaks Rocks Glasses
If your old man is anything like ours, he appreciates a good drink at the end of the workday. More importantly, he understands the necessity of keeping quality glassware on hand for a few fingers of the best whiskey to close those deals that stretch into cocktail hour. For all those occasions there are the Whiskey Peaks glasses. With raised topographic impressions of some of the most impressive peaks on Earth modeled into each Huckberry-exclusive glass, these are the perfect vessels for enjoy and appreciating a good glass of hooch.

The NOMATIC Notebook and Planner are essentially modern versions of the traditional Moleskine notebook. Perfect for the desk or the bag, this lay-flat notebook is outfitted with useful features like a second piece of elastic, organizing ribbons, lined/blank/perforated pages, whiteboard pages and the ability to hold your pen.

Luckies of London Cabin Tidy
Despite the fact that the Cabin Tidy isn’t made of Lincoln Logs or any of the other building materials dad taught you how to use, this is the kind of gift he’ll actually use instead of pretending to appreciate. Three separate compartments for paper clips, tacks, staples, cables and more mean this natural pine and sheet metal organizer is as functional as it is clever. And when the outside pegs aren’t being used to store pens and pencils like tiny wood logs they can also be used to hold the phone for epic PokerStars showdowns. Dad will appreciate the nostalgia regardless of what he uses the Cabin Tidy for.
$29
Libratone Track+ Earphones
With four levels of adjustable noise cancellation, an impressive battery life and a form factor that makes them almost impossible to lose, the Libratone Track+ Earphones check off all the requisite boxes for what Dad needs in a pair of headphones.
