Quay Australia

New sunglasses are always a great idea, and this Quay style is a perfect choice for the son who could never have too many pairs in his collection (or who tends to misplace his shades often). The lightweight gold geometric frames are meant to flatter different face shapes and will be a refreshing change from his classic aviators.

Hoto

The son who loves a home improvement project will absolutely geek out on Hoto’s brushless 12-volt drill, but it’s an equally useful tool for the not-so-handy man who needs to do some work around the house. Powerful, lightweight and durable, its sleek design features an LED display screen, a built-in battery and a USB-C charging port.

Amazon

A little competition goes a long way when sharing your Wordle winning streaks in the family group text, but now you can up the ante by taking things offline at your next gathering.

Naadam

Cashmere for summer is, in fact, groundbreaking—but only when it’s in the form of shorts. This Naadam style will have him feeling oh-so-cozy when the AC is turned up full-blast, thanks to a roomy drawstring waistband and heavenly soft Mongolian cashmere. Consider his go-to sweats replaced.

Neiman Marcus

While a family trip to Iceland would be a lovely Father’s Day gift for your son, this soothing gel face mask from Blue Lagoon Iceland is likely more within budget. It’s infused with geothermal bioactive Blue Lagoon seawater, which is rich in electrolytes that hydrate and help maintain a healthy skin barrier. If you’re looking to splurge on something a bit extra this year, it’s also included in this Father’s Day gift set alongside two other ultra-luxe products from the brand.
