This paste (known as “vanilla caviar”) comes recommended by pastry chefs from Gramercy Tavern to Sqirl. “Its flavor is pungent and deep — so close to an actual vanilla bean that you can truly taste the difference between this and the bottled stuff,” says Strategist food and dining writer Emma Wartzman.
Author Jenny Han calls this carton of flavored salt “the secret to movie-theater popcorn at home.” A three-quarter teaspoon of this and he’ll swear he’s at the movies (even though he’s just rewatching Braveheart on the couch).
This affordable fountain pen “writes perfectly,” according to author André Aciman. “It’s like the Volkswagen of pens with a Jaguar engine.”
This analog wooden foot massager is one of our favorite gifts for doctors — it’s even compact enough to fit under a desk.
If Dad can’t relax until he’s tackled any lawn imperfections, he should try these nifty leaf scoopers. “The dorky, low-tech scoops are bright-yellow, Pac-Man-shape plastic disks with a strap that you slip your hands through; imagine those little monkey toys that play the cymbals,” says Strategist contributor Sarah Z. Wexler of the slightly silly tool. “And I am in love,” she concludes.
For a few dollars more, you can upgrade him to Italian brand Proraso’s toning aftershave, a brand recommended by barbers as the best on the market and what they use on their own faces.
Gift him this actually attractive compost bin, which Strategist writer Erin Schwartz says performed well in hot New York City summers.
In talking to authors about the best audiobooks, many said that having a book read to you means you are more likely to actually finish it because you can listen while doing other things, like the dishes, walking the dog, gardening, or driving. If Dad’s many duties are getting between him and the latest Jack Reacher thriller or Obama memoir, a subscription to Audible’s audiobook library could be just the thing.
Spending hours debating the meaning of the series finale might not be your idea of a good time, but dads who think of Paulie and Silvio as close friends will appreciate this cheeky reference to one of Tony’s business ventures.
Invented by a German optometrist to teach his children numbers and colors, Dutch Blitz is described as a kind of “very energetic solitaire.” Strategist contributor Lauren Guidry writes that the game threatened to tear her family apart. “I’ll persuade my husband to play a few hands between meetings as we both work from home and are slugging through the day,” she says, and calls the dopamine hit from a quick game “euphoric.”
“It’s a funny invention, no?” says pastry chef Jacques Torres of these exfoliating gloves. “Call me lazy, but these make things so much more efficient.”
According to Strategist tech writer Jordan McMahon, MagSafe is one of the iPhone’s best, most underutilized features. This magnetized wallet can attach right to his phone and has a stand that allows him to scroll in portrait mode hands-free.
We recommended this cooperative party game for a reader’s “neurosurgeon son who is into Magic: The Gathering,” but it would also be great for dads who get too heated when they don’t have enough sheep to build a settlement.
“Turn it on, put your feet on it while you’re working, and it’ll warm them up,” is how Sarah Cooper, the comedian best known for her dad-favorite viral impressions of Donald Trump, describes this heated footrest. “It’s the best gift I’ve ever given myself.”
An insulated growler is the perfect thing for him to fill with his favorite grisette or DIPA — and keep it cold for hours.
“The world of whiskey is littered with glassware,” says Jason Julier of whiskey website Malt Review. He mentions these tulip-shaped glasses as a favorite: “They provide solid performance and a robust, practical design.”
He can take on new pyrotechnic cooking experiments outside with this book of recipes from chef Francis Mallmann, who specializes in cooking over a live fire.
This lightweight portable charger will keep his phone charged on the go — and it makes a great gift, according to Megababe founder Katie Sturino.
If his fingers are too big to text on a small phone screen, this nifty Bluetooth keyboard will turn his iPhone in to a tiny typewriter. “Weighing just seven ounces, it folds up into a slim nondescript rectangle that can easily slide into a tote bag,” says Strategist writer Katherine Gillespie.
Gifts for girlfriend‘Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power,' edited by Mark Godfrey and Zoé Whitley Very Good Deal
Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power chronicles work created by Black artists from 1963 to 1983. That 20-year period defines the civil-rights movement, and thus lots of art at that time dealt with race, politics, and what it meant to be Black in America. This would look nice sitting out on a coffee table and makes for good reading material, too.
One of our 100 most-stood-behind products ever, this affordable white-noise machine has helped New York Magazine deputy editor Alexis Swerdloff get to sleep for no less than eight years (and in three apartments) and counting.
Singer Jake Shears suggests this roast straight from New Orleans’s iconic Café du Monde. (If Dad’s the type to go through several bags of beans in a month, you might consider a coffee subscription instead.)
As Strategist contributor Chris Schalkx explains, the Qubii “has a USB plug on one side and a USB socket on the other, plus a slot for a MicroSD memory card. To back up my photos, all I had to do was sandwich the Qubii between my iPhone’s wall-outlet adapter and power cord and plug it into my phone.” (Note that the model shown doesn’t come with a MicroSD card, but you can spring for Qubiis that do if you’re willing to spend a little bit more than $50.)
Many men swear by safety razors and say they provide a smoother and less irritating shave. The Merkur 34C is our best-in-class safety razor; the expert barbers we spoke to praised its reliable engineering and ease of use.
If he’s killed a windowsill basil plant, it’s not his fault: “The roots of herbs are somewhat simplistic,” says Sera Rogue, the owner of the Brooklyn gardening company Red Fern. “They require daily watering.” The AeroGarden is our best-in-class hydroponic smart garden and will provide a constant supply of basil he can harvest straight from the kitchen counter.

If your dad is the type to spend 15 minutes in a panic trying to find his keys before leaving the house, we suggest the Tile bluetooth tracker, which is about the size of a nickel and can stick to all his valuables.
Baristas have a lot of opinions about best way to brew a cup of coffee, but all agree that freshly ground beans are better. If Dad’s still buying his pre-ground — or if he’s still using a grinder he bought ten years ago — this relatively affordable grinder would make for a just-fancy-enough upgrade, according to Paul Schlader, the head roaster at New York City’s Birch Coffee. It has 12 grind-size settings for different brewing methods along with a “cup selector” dial.
In our gift guide for beer lovers, Andrew Burman of Other Half Brewing Co. recommended this rapid cooler from Cooper. “Having a rapid cooler for beer, wine, or Champagne is key, especially for last-minute gatherings,” Burman says. Dad will never have to clean up another exploded beer in the freezer again.
This made-in-America aluminum lawn chair is a classic. The UV-resistant webbing seat has a bit of stretch, so it’s comfortable to sit in for hours.
If he’s all but given up on using tiny bits of string, the expert-recommended Waterpik may finally be the thing that gets him to stick to a regular flossing habit.
Whether he’s a certified Italophile or simply loves to cook, this precisely calibrated pasta machine from an Italian company that’s been around since the 1930s is a classic and comes recommended by a pasta pro.
After sticking this Tom Colicchio–approved, “perfect meat every time” thermometer in his T-bone, he can monitor its temperature from his phone up to 165 feet away.
The latest Fitbit is an activity tracker, step counter, heart-rate monitor, and much more. It has various goal-oriented exercise modes for activities like running, swimming, cycling, and yoga and also offers sleep analysis.
A Twitch-streamer-approved microphone will set him apart from the other tinny-sounding podcasters — and it plugs into a USB port, so it doesn’t require advanced tech skills to set up.
