A Very Specific Father's Day Gift Guide
Each dad is different — and this guide gets that. Whether he’s outdoors before sunrise, deep into health & wellness, or unable to get a full night’s sleep, we’ve rounded up picks to match what he really needs. And since you know him best, you get to choose.
For the Dad Who Hikes, Bikes, or Just Likes Being Outdoors
He’s the kind of guy who prefers trees to screens, packs light, and somehow always has the best trail snacks. So forget the sticky bug sprays that smell like chemicals, the plastic water bottles he’ll never clean, and the camping gear we both know has only seen the garage—here’s what he’ll actually appreciate.
Cliganic Mosquito Repellent Patches
A bug repellent he’ll actually want to wear. These chic, plant-based patches stick to his shirt or backpack and create an invisible, essential-oil-powered force field (citronella, lemongrass, and geraniol, all the good stuff!). No sticky sprays, weird smells, or chemicals soaking into his skin. Perfect for camping, fishing, or backyard BBQs, AKA any situation where he ends up wildly swatting the air and claiming “mosquitoes love me.”
Cliganic Mosquito Repellent Clips
Minimal, rugged, and designed to blend in with his gear. Just pop in a repellent pellet, clip it to a backpack, belt, or boot, and forget it’s there, along with the bugs. Powered by essential oils like citronella and peppermint. Let's just say he is going to gatekeep this one.
LARQ Bottle PureVis
A water bottle that literally cleans itself with UV light. It zaps bacteria and viruses in 60 seconds, so he officially has one less excuse not to drink water (or do the dishes!).
Stanley Adventure Cook Set
Throw it in the truck or backpack. It boils water, holds up over a fire, and makes him feel like he’s one with nature, even if it’s just for instant ramen in the backyard.
For the Dad Betting on Biotin, Not Bitcoin
The hairline’s been shifting, and he’s officially entered his scalp-care era. Nothing drastic, just enough to make him suspicious of overhead lighting. These are the go-to tools: no drama or side effects, just consistency (and maybe a dedicated towel).
Housed in a sleek, unisex bottle, this rich, cold-pressed oil is naturally packed with ricinoleic acid and vitamin E. Used weekly as a scalp treatment, it helps nourish the roots, condition the scalp, and promote the appearance of healthier, fuller-looking hair. It’s a simple step with serious payoff.
A fresh, herbaceous essential oil that does more than just smell amazing. This woodsy-fresh multitasker helps nourish the scalp, enhance natural shine, and give hair a more revitalized feel. Use it with castor oil for a simple pre-wash treatment or add a few drops to his shampoo. Bonus: it also makes the whole bathroom smell like a forest spa.
Higher HSR Cap
Looks like a cool dad cap, functions like high-tech follicle therapy. This red light device uses LLLT (low-level laser therapy) to stimulate cell energy, reactivate growth, and it’s FDA-cleared. It’s science, with a brim.
Derma Roller (0.5mm)
Tiny needles, big impact. Rolling this over the scalp opens microchannels for oils to absorb better and stimulates collagen production for stronger, healthier growth.
Maya Chia Gua Sha Comb
This scalp massage tool feels like a two-in-one therapy and spa session. Made from obsidian, a naturally cooling volcanic stone, it boosts blood flow and releases tension, a win for both hair follicles and general dad stress.
For the Dad Who Hasn’t Slept Since 2009
He carries the weight of 1,000 to-dos and still answers emails from bed. He needs less stimulation and more restoration - a nighttime routine that slows the mind, resets the body, and gets him to actually stay asleep.
Cliganic Sleep Surrender Essential Oil
A calming blend of lavender, chamomile, sandalwood, and copaiba. Just a few drops on his pillow or dilute with oil or lotion, apply to pulse points, and it lights out (in a good way). Our top pick for affordable sleep therapy. (Deep sleep is the most important for physical and mental recovery.)
Loftie Alarm Clock
No blue light, no doomscrolling. Just gentle, two-phase wakeups, soothing sleep sounds, meditations built by neuroscientists—and yes, it doubles as a soft-glow night lamp. Bonus: It looks incredibly chic on a nightstand.
Cozy Earth Waffle Robe
Soft, breathable, and Oprah-approved. It’s the wearable equivalent of sleeping in on a Sunday.
Oura Ring Gen3
Yes, it’s a splurge. But it tracks REM, HRV, and sleep efficiency to help him understand what messes with his sleep, and what helps. Not to mention, it comes in a sleek ring that he won't want to take off.
For the Dad Who Never Missed Leg Day
He takes training seriously, and recovery just as seriously. These tools help him bounce back faster, stay consistent, and feel good doing it.
A game changer for sore muscles. Mix a few drops with your favorite lotion, oil, or body wash. The high menthol content delivers a cooling, deep-soothing effect for tired muscles, no synthetic muscle rub required. (We recommend mixing peppermint oil with Jojoba oil for an overnight treatment.)
Magnesium Glycinate
One of the most absorbable forms of magnesium. Helps ease muscle tension, reduce cramps, and improve sleep, without the laxative effects you get from other types like citrate and malate.
Therabody Recovery Boots
Circulation-boosting compression tech he used to only get in physical therapy. Now in the living room. Recommended for dads who take their workouts seriously and want fast recovery. (splurge alert)
Bala Hourglass Foam Roller
It targets knots, fascia, and next-day regrets. Compact, powerful, and the most consistent workout partner he’s ever had. (Our choice because of its shape, specifically designed to safely massage without hurting the spine.)
Micro Massage Balls
Mini but mighty. Perfect for glutes, arches, and anywhere tension hides. Surprisingly effective, and weirdly addictive!
For the Dad Who’s (Finally) Into Skincare
He watched Kevin Costner in Dances with Wolves and Yellowstone back-to-back and realized it’s time to moisturize.
Lightweight, deeply hydrating, and great post-shave. Squalane mimics the skin’s natural lipids, locking in moisture and helping to keep things look smoother.
Balances oily skin, calms redness, and softens scruff. A best-seller for a reason, basically a facial in a bottle at an affordable price.
Rahua Voluminous Shampoo
Amazonian oils, lemongrass, and luxury lather. Bougie? Yes. Worth it? Also yes!
De La Heart Facial Brush
A sleek little tool that packs a quiet punch. This brush gently exfoliates while supporting lymphatic drainage, helping reduce puffiness and boost circulation. Use it with your favorite oil or serum to tighten, brighten, and look like you slept more than you did.
Nécessaire The Body Wash
Subtle in scent, rich in skin-loving ingredients. This gel cleanser is loaded with niacinamide and vitamins to support your skin barrier without stripping it dry. It’s the kind of body wash that makes your old one look like it was never really trying.
