Here Are the Best Budget-Friendly Gifts for Different Dads
Gifts for Fashionable Dads
1. New Balance 574 Split Sail $79.99
While we can’t walk a mile in dad’s shoes, we can certainly make it more comfortable. Gift him with the gift of comfort with classic yet standout sneakers. Dad sneakers are in right now, so this gift will inspire his day-to-day outfits.
2. Brooks Brothers Argyll and Sutherland Rep Tie $89.50
Level up dad’s power suit with a sleek and stylish tie from Brooks Brothers. The tie is the pièce de résistance of suits and will elevate even his oldest black or navy suits.
Brooks Brothers is beloved for tailored suits and the elegance of their designs — and that’s just dad’s branding isn’t it?
3. Zara Stretch Sheen Suit Jacket $99.90
Well-tailored suits maketh man, and this Zara piece will do the trick. A blazer is a menswear staple and one of the most versatile fashion pieces in his wardrobe.
A fun shade of indigo will add interest to dad’s work attire, while still remaining sophisticated and formal. We’re done with black and navy this 2020.
4. Uniqlo White T-Shirt $14.90
It may seem like a simple gift, but you’ll be surprised by the impact a simple white tee can bring.
There’s nothing a white tee can’t do. He can wear it with well-fitting jeans when he’s off duty or with a smart blazer (see gift idea above) to wear to work. The white tee can multi-task as well as a dad can.
5. Topman Black and White Color Block Knitted Polo $50
Pajama bottoms and a smart shirt is the new WFH chic. Let his 10-year-old polo shirt rest and gift dad with this comfy knit polo. The neat collar says means work, but the fabric means cozy.
Topman is known for curating the latest in street style. Let this knit polo be the gateway to his new 2020 look. Washed out polos are not welcome in 2020, or ever.
6. Quay Aviators $55
Exchange dad’s dorky glasses for a pair of trendy glasses. Upgrade his conference call game with this piece from Quay. If all the conference can see is his neck up, we have to make it count.
These glasses will protect his eyes from blue light from devices, which leave him with a headache at the end of the day. Think of this is as the gift of style and relief.
Gifts for Metro Dads
7. Edwin Jagger Shaving Gift Set $70.45
For men who prefer a clean and shaven aesthetic, a shaving set is a must-have. Make space for dad in the vanity, and spoil him with an imitation ivory set. This new addition to his arsenal is sure to brighten his morning (and his jawline).
This set includes a brush, shaving bowl, Gillette® Mach3 blade, and stand.
8. Jaxon Lane Bro Mask 100% Hydrogel Face Mask $28
This mask comes in a two-piece set for father’s who rock a beard. Packed with niacinamide, collagen, and peptides, dad will stay looking young and glowing. Consider this is as a gift for mom as well.
If he feels that a sheet mask is a step over his comfort zone, tell him not to worry. The packaging is very manly, making use of black and white color palettes exclusively. And its users include Nick Jonas and Justin Theroux — can you get any manlier than that?
9. Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne $70 (30mL)
A refined man finishes off his work attire by spritzing on a sophisticated fragrance. Boasting warm and fresh notes, you can’t go wrong with Jo Malone’s signature Lime Basil & Mandarin cologne.
Its scent isn’t so overpowering, but not so faint that it will dissipate after a few hours. Expect this cologne to work with you in your 9-5 and the drinks after.
Gifts for Fit Dads
