Father’s Day Gift Guide: Unique Grooming Gifts for Dad
Shopping for the perfect Father’s Day gift can be tricky. You want to avoid the cliche tie or mug, but also find something meaningful and something he’ll actually use. Why not upgrade his daily routine with a premium grooming care gift for Father’s Day?
As a modern apothecary with a wide array of unique personal care finds, we might be a little biased, but we can’t look past the value of a quality self-care routine. It can be easy to overlook the value of a high-quality grooming routine, but the right product has the ability to completely transform a dad’s daily ritual.
That’s why we asked Garrett, our in-house shaving and grooming expert, to comb through our catalog and recommend the very best Father’s Day gifts from our collection of grooming finds.
The Best Grooming Products for Dads Whose Shaving Routine Needs a Little TLC:
One of our most recommended brands, Proraso is a barbershop staple that can deliver professional quality at home. The tin features Poraso’s beard wash, beard oil, and beard balm, all created with the expert hands of professionals using a single blade in mind, focusing on product quality.
| “Proraso products have been used by some of the best barbers for decades, and beard wash, oil, and balm are some of the best products they have available. The tins also feature a beautiful illustration and are easy to gift.” - Garrett
This Father’s Day beard grooming kit has every step needed for comprehensive beard care with an understated spicy, woody scent.
This Cella kit has three full size products that can be a complete beard care routine for men, featuring the signature Cella shaving cream bowl, aftershave lotion, and the Cella branded shaving brush. Cella shaving products have stood the test of time since the end of the 19th century, when they became known for their super-concentrated formula that greatly hydrates beard hair in order to make it easier to cut and protect the razor’s blade.
| “Our most underrated product, and great for the Dad that appreciates a traditional
shave.” - Garrett
If you’re thinking you’d rather just give Dad an individual shaving product as opposed to a set, go with the Noble Otter Shave Soap. Noble Otter is dedicated to creating shave products that offer more variety of scent than other shaving brands. This particular scent, Northern Elixir, has notes of eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender, and frost.
| “Noble Otter is another brand that tends to fly under the radar, but I love it. This Northern Elixir Shave Soap has a great scent and a gentle cooling effect on the skin, making it perfect for summer shaving.” - Garrett
For the Dad Who Doesn’t Even Need to Shampoo
If your Dad doesn’t need beard care (quite the opposite actually) the Sweet Comb Chicago Bald Head Essential Care Set is a fun and unique alternative. And when you support Sweet Comb Chicago, you’re also supporting a Chicago local business! Born out of a backyard in Chicago’s Roger’s Park neighborhood, Sweet Comb Chicago is named after the Chicago Beekeeping scene, where home-grown beekeepers are working to improve the bee population.
| “It comes with a head scrub, polish, and buffing cloth because bald heads need
attention too!” - Garrett
For the Dad Who Loves to Smell Amazing:
A forever classic, Jockey Club by Caswell-Massey is a timeless scent. An American heritage brand, Caswell-Massey is officially the fourth-oldest continuously operating company in the U.S. Today, Caswell-Massey still maintains that historic sense of innovation, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance.
| “It’s my go-to masculine fragrance recommendation. It’s sophisticated without being
overpowering.” - Garrett
If you’re looking for a fragrance at a lower price point, Gold Cap Number #6 is much more affordable but just as charming.
If your Dad would love a fancy soap, Mistral Soaps are the way to go. All Mistral soaps are triple milled, meaning they’ve gone through a process that removes all air bubbles, leading to a denser, longer-lasting, more luxurious soap.
| “Mistral is the cream of the crop when it comes to soap production, with all of their
soaps being triple-milled out of Provence, France, which is a region known for fragrance
production.” - Garrett
The gift set makes a great gift, or you can find individual Mistral Men’s Soap Bars at Smallflower.com if you’re looking to mix and match. Our favorite scents include Cypress Oak, Mahogany Rum, Mezcal Lime, and Salted Gin.
Universal Grooming and Shaving Gifts for Any Dad:
The Tiege Hanley Essential Routine is another easy gifting set, but for the Dads out there who don’t need beard care. If you’ve been trying to get your Dad to stick to a skincare routine, this is the perfect set to give him. Tiege Hanley’s mission is all about accessibility: it’s sensible, simple, and affordable skincare. If you’re having trouble getting Dad to stick to a skincare routine, Tiege Hanley is the brand to get him started.
| “Everything he needs is in one place” - Garrett
The set includes a cleanser, an exfoliating scrub, and a moisturizer with SPF protection.
If you want a fun yet functional gift, try the Tooletries Back Scrubber. It’s silicone and therefore easier to keep clean and dry than a standard back scrubber. Backscrubbers improve cleanliness in hard-to-reach areas, while exfoliating the skin and improving circulation. This particular backscrubber from Toolertries is gentle yet firm, and long enough to cover every inch of the back and shoulders.
| “Backscrubbers are the kind of thing you don’t realize you’ve always needed until you
have one.” - Garrett
