Dad might be too cool to be dropping hints for Father’s Day, but we’re certain that these seven gift ideas will leave him grinning from ear to ear. Honour paternal bonds and celebrate fatherhood with meaningful gifts that will encourage dad to pick up a fun new passion, hone a current hobby, or simply make his daily life easier.
1. For the gamer: PlayStation 5
Sony’s next-generation game console is set to launch by late 2020 and you can bet your tech-loving dad’s got his eyes on it. Boasting features like a speedy SSD, built-in 4K Blu-ray player, and ray-tracing, the all-digital console comes without a disc drive and will be backwards compatible with PS4 games. To sweeten the deal, why not pre-order him some new games while you’re at it? Think highly-anticipated titles like Godfall, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and Horizon Forbidden West.

2. For the cook: Wagyu beef
If dad’s a whizz in the kitchen, he’s going to appreciate a slab or two of these gourmet Japanese beef. We’re talking Hokkaido wagyu A4 striploin steak with a marbling score of 8 or Kokuou wagyu A4 ribeye, both airflown from the land of the rising sun. Valued due to its scarcity and quality, the latter has a name that translates to “meat emperor” and comes from Japanese black cattle that is grown in Kumamoto Prefecture.

3. For the well-groomed: Gillette heated razor
The latest gizmo in razor tech comes with a hefty $200 price tag and is said to mimic that luxurious, hot-towel shave feeling one gets at a gentlemen’s barber. But that’s not all—the device also comes with a hefty, easy-grip handle, as well as a heating element that beautifully aligns with a five-blade cartridge for that neat, clean shave. Pair it with a can of soothing shave cream and he’ll have the best shave of his life.
