4. Safety Razor from The Social Space
Are you looking to up your father’s grooming regime? We’ve got a zero-waste gift recommendation for you. The Social Space’s Safety Razor provides the closest shave by gliding gently and smoothly over the skin and cutting the hair follicles at the skin level. Ingrown hairs, begone! Each pack comes with 10 replacement blades, which can last around 70 shaves.

5. Weber Grill Academy
Sign dad up for a grilling course so that he can turn tricks (and cook, obvi) at the next family barbecue event. Weber Grill Academy runs introductory programmes that teach participants the art of grilling. If that’s too basic for him, he can level up by attending the special lessons, which dive deeper into prepping for special cuisines and meat cuts.

6. JBL Live Pro 2
For the audiophile dad that can’t seem to get enough of his music, how about snagging him some JBL Live Pro 2 True Wireless earbuds? The new true adaptive noise cancelling and smart ambient features are absolute dreams. This hands-free support allows you to switch up to ambient sounds and enjoy conversations without removing your earbuds. And if your dad is the forgetful type, have no fear. At full charge, these babies have a 40-hour battery life which means it’ll last you a good long time before it needs another dose of juice.

Is your father into luxury watches? Consider Rado’s Centrix Diamonds timepiece. While it comes in various colour combinations, our vote goes to classic black and gold. The dial is accentuated with four sparkling diamonds, while Rado’s signature sapphire crystal adds a scratch-resistant shine to the watch’s face. Dad will be the talk of the town once he has this baby on his wrist.
