1. L.L.Bean Henley Shirt
A solid henley is a must-have. It’s the Ryan Gosling of shirts—rugged yet effortless and nonchalant, ready for any situation. Whether he wears it with jeans or underneath a leather jacket, this long-sleeve waffle knit option from L.L.Bean is both timeless and durable.
Contemporary brand Mack Weldon champions radically efficient wardrobing and this henley is proof. It’s woven with Thermolite, a fabric that adds tons of extra warmth without adding weight.
Few brands prioritize fit quite like Naadam, which is why we love this henley. It’s crafted with a classic not-too-skinny cut and features mother-of-pearl buttons. It’s also made from a sustainable eucalyptus that’ll hold up to daily wear and tear.
2. L.L.Bean Leather Belt
Everyone needs a good leather belt in their wardrobe. This tan version from L.L.Bean is made in England and looks great with his favorite pair of chinos or jeans.
If your girlfriend’s dad is a wine lover, this subscription from Bright Cellars will let him know how much you care. Choose from one, two, three, six or 12 bottles delivered to his doorstep each month.
This is a great gift for a man who loves to cook. The cookbook features more than 70 recipes inspired by America’s most iconic national parks.
3. L.L.Bean Moccasin Slippers
Whether they’re paired with a fuzzy robe or their favorite leggings, these slippers will put you in your girlfriends dad’s good graces. The cozy moccasin-style slippers feature a shearling lining and a durable rubber sole to help keep feet warm and comfortable.
Each year, the brand sells a pair of their Wicked Good slippers every seven seconds—that speaks to how much people love them. This particular model is a shearling moccasin that has a contoured memory foam footbed to buffer feet against cold floors and is backed with an eco-friendly thermoplastic rubber sole.
These lightweight sneakers are a great gift for the outdoorsy guy who likes to hike or take long walks. They’re made with sustainable eucalyptus fiber and are machine-washable to make them last longer.
4. Allbirds Eucalyptus Walking Shoes
Allbirds shoes are some of the most comfortable sneakers you can buy. They’re made from natural materials like merino wool, Tencel (a semi-synthetic fabric derived from regenerated cellulose fiber such as eucalyptus tree wood pulp), recycled nylon, castor bean oil, and even the soles of the shoes are made from sugarcane!
The company has seven different sneaker styles including Wool Runners, Dashers, Toppers, Skippers, Mizzles and Trail Runners. They also have boots and slippers that use the same merino wool and sustainable materials as their sneakers.
Jeremy loves the Dasher Mizzles because they’re water-repellent and have a comfortable, padded interior to keep his feet warm and cozy during cold, rainy days. They’re great for casual running or jogging, or for walking around town or errands.
5. Infuse-Your-Own Whiskey Kit
Dads love a good cocktail, so this unique gift is sure to please. It’s an easy-to-use cocktail smoking kit that comes with everything he needs to create his own drinks at home.
This whiskey infusion kit is ideal for those who love to experiment with different flavor combinations. It includes a 750ml vessel, a removable base with infusion filter and six infusion flavors that can be used together or individually.
This unique gift allows you to turn your favorite bottle of alcohol into a drink that is truly one-of-a-kind. It features an auto vacuum wine saver that seals and caps a bottle of your choice to preserve the quality, taste, and feel of the liquid. It’s an essential tool for any cocktail lover! A must-have for any home bar.
