18 Fun And Fashionable Gift Ideas For The Cool Dad

Forbes11-06-2025
With Father's Day this weekend, I thought it would be a great time to round up some of my favorite gift ideas and go-to fashion, wellness, and lifestyle favorites that are great to give the dads in your life.
Amazon Echo Show 15 | $299
Amazon's Echo Show devices are a game changer in any household, but this bigger screen is an amazing upgrade. This is the ultimate multimedia and organization device. Dad can watch his favorite shows, plan his week on the calendar, get his favorite news updates, and more, all with the help of Alexa voice commands. And the highly anticipated Alexa+ is coming soon!
Hexclad 10-Piece Sous-Chef Cutlery Bundle | $699
For a gift with major wow factor, give Dad this incredible set of knives. These stunning knives are designed to stand the test of time, with quality trusted by top professional chefs. They have an intricate wood grain design on the blade and a luxurious weight to the handle. This set comes complete with a cutting board, sharpener, and magnetic stand!
Vuori Ponto Performance Half Zip Hoodie ($118) and Pant ($98)
Vuori's DreamKnitTM fabric really is a dream! This incredibly soft material always feels (and looks) amazing on the body, and can be worn all day or even to sleep. I recommend pairing the Ponto Performance Half Zip Hoodie with the Ponto Performance Pant for a flattering athleisure look. This is the ultimate loungewear for Dad, and he'll thank you every time he wears it!
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate | $19.99/month
For the Xbox-loving dad, there's no better gift than a Game Pass Ultimate Annual Subscription. This pass gives access to all his favorite games, as well as other perks like online console membership, cloud gaming, and an EA Play membership. New, high-quality games are added every month, too, including day one releases, so this gift keeps on giving all year! Xbox is upping its game this year, pun intended, with major new title releases and even a new handheld console, so it's the perfect time to give this gift.
Shokz OpenDots ONE | $199
For the dad who loves to exercise, the new Shokz OpenDots earbuds are a fantastic gift. These new open-ear clip-on earbuds feature JointArc technology and soft, contoured silicone that keeps your ears comfortable while staying securely in place. I actually forget I'm wearing them, since I can barely feel them when I have them on! The sound on these is rich too, utilizing premium Dolby Audio.
Pre-Owned Rolex Day-Date 228239 | $65,995
For the showstopping Father's Day gift, give Dad a luxe watch from REKLAIM, a newly-launched direct-to-consumer luxury marketplace for watches and handbags. It's the best place to source stunning and rare Rolex watches, including the rare Rolex Day-Date 40 that Tom Cruise himself sported on his recent Mission: Impossible press tour. REKLAIM's curated collections, like the Timeless Collection, sift through to find the best of the best in luxury watches to select from and find the one that's perfect for every stylish dad.
Our Place Titanium Pro Cookware + Bakeware Set | $584
For the dad who loves to cook and bake, Our Place's stunning new titanium pans are the perfect way to show your appreciation this Father's Day. These are the first non-toxic nonstick pans without any coating, and are dishwasher and metal utensil safe. They have a lifetime warranty and can withstand temperatures up to 1000°F (750°F for the Gold color)! If those specs aren't enough, he'll love them when he tests them out! Plus, a bonus set of nonstick bakeware is included in this set for his favorite breads and tray bakes (or to keep to yourself if he doesn't bake!).
Brümate Müv 35oz + Trio Bundle | $65
If it's time to replace Dad's travel coffee mug, Brümate makes the best leakproof mugs and cups! The Müv mug is the gift he didn't know he needed, and will love every day. It has leakproof technology, a grip on the bottom, and keeps drinks hot for 6+ hours (or cold for 24+ hours). This bundle includes a Hopsulator Trio as well, which fits 12oz or 16oz cans to keep his favorite canned beverages cold for hours! (Bonus: it converts into a tumbler with the included leakproof lid.)
HigherDOSE Sauna Blanket Starter Kit | $825
This is sure to wow any health nut dad. Treat Dad to an at-home sauna experience with this bundle from HigherDOSE.

They also taste amazing on their own, and Brightland recommends delicious food pairings for each bottle. Give Dad his very own California olive oil tasting at home with this gorgeous gift! I'm also obsessed with The Pizza Night Set, which includes the best jalapeño & herb olive oil and blackberry balsamic vinegar for your at-home pizza night!
Shark® Cordless PowerDetect™ Clean & Empty System | $449
The Shark vacuum is perfect for the dad who loves to clean (and they do exist)! This is the best vacuum I've used. This powerful device auto detects different floor types and adjusts to the surface and cleaning direction that it's vacuuming. You can really feel the power boost and see the difference this makes in increased cleaning. And it auto empties after every clean, right from the charging base!
MUNICIPAL Origin Shoes | $180
Cool dads wear cool sneakers, and MUNICIPAL makes some of the coolest sneakers around. Their Origin Shoes are designed for comfort and style, and feature M.FLOAT, a proprietary layered system that maximizes performance and comfort. The neon green accent on the soles and extra laces adds an extra punch to a classic sneaker.

Kroma Wellness High Protein Bundle | $165
Kroma's High Protein Bundle is the perfect treat for Dad this Father's Day, featuring high-quality ingredients he'll love. Once you introduce him to these delicious products, he'll never go back to his old ones. The Super Porridge is one of my favorite breakfasts of all time, and the 24K Chicken Bone Broth is so rich in flavor, I can't believe it's packed with so much protein!
Cuts Skyline Knit Overshirt ($98) and SoHo Trouser ($124)
Cuts Clothing is one of those brands I can guarantee Dad covets. Their clothing is so innovative, from shirts with different hems for every style, to wrinkle-free trousers, to rich new colors, to designs that flatter different body types. You can't go wrong with anything from their site, but some of my favorites for him are the flattering SoHo Trouser, the cool Skyline Knit Overshirt, and the comfy AO Polo.
Fishwife The Starter Pack With Gift Tin | $88
For the dad who loves fish, Fishwife makes the best gift sets. Fishwife packaging is the best of the best, and their gift set tins don't miss a single detail. This brand isn't just about gorgeous packaging; the quality of the fish is amazing as well! I love grabbing a tin of the Sardines with Preserved Lemon and pairing it with some crackers and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc for the perfect date night snack.
Big Ass Luxuries The Baby Big Ass Bundle | $257
For the homebody dad who loves a good candle, gift him a Big Ass Candle! Recently featured on Shark Tank and landing a deal with Lori, there's a reason this company has taken over the home fragrance market! The Jazz Lounge scent will remind Dad of a luxury cigar lounge or jazz club. With notes of amber, vanilla, musk, and spiced clove, it balances out the tobacco leaf and patchouli notes beautifully for an iconic scent.

Games industry in search of new winning combo at Gamescom 2025

The global games industry gathers for the vast Gamescom trade fair in Cologne this week, with hopes that upcoming heavy-hitters like "GTA VI" can help the industry escape its doldrums. Tuesday's opening night event will show off major releases slated for the months ahead, with the starring role going to "Black Ops 7" -- the new instalment in the sprawling "Call of Duty" saga. Trade visitors will have Wednesday to peruse the stands and make connections, before tens of thousands of enthusiastic gamers are unleashed on the vast salon from Thursday to Sunday. Last year's Gamescom drew almost 335,000 people to the Cologne exhibition centre, where studios lay on vast stands with consoles or PCs offering hands-on play with the latest releases. Nintendo is back in 2025 after staying away last year, surfing on record launch sales for its Switch 2 console. And Microsoft's Xbox gaming division will show off new portable hardware expected to be released towards the end of the year. Sony, the Japanese giant behind the PlayStation, has opted out this time around. The mood is mixed for the roughly 1,500 exhibitors attending this year, as major publishers have recently steered back into profitability but the job cuts seen over the past two years continue. In early July, Microsoft said it would lay off around 9,000 people, with hundreds leaving game studios like "Candy Crush" developer King and several games cancelled, including "Perfect Dark" and "Everwild". - Battle for attention - "The industry is consolidating quite a bit" after the bumper years when Covid-19 lockdowns created a captive audience, said Rhys Elliott of specialist games data firm Alinea Analytics. Around 30,000 workers have lost their jobs since early 2023, according to tracking site Games Industry Layoffs -- more than 4,000 of them so far this year. Revenue in the global games market should hold steady at just under $190 billion this year, data firm Newzoo has forecast. The number of players and hours spent with the medium are stable while an ever-expanding number of titles are jostling for attention. And with leviathans like "Roblox" or "Fortnite" swallowing the attention of hundreds of millions of monthly users, "everyone's fighting for a smaller share of that pie," said Circana expert Mat Piscatella. The need to find new audiences has pushed Microsoft's Xbox, the biggest games publisher in the world, to switch strategy, increasingly offering its titles on competing console makers' hardware. "They've had really great success on the PlayStation platform. Sony is making a bunch of money on that too," Piscatella said "It's a little bit of a win-win all the way around." Some PlayStation games are making the trip in the opposite direction, with "Helldivers 2" the first to be made available on Xbox as well as the traditional PC port. - Success on a budget - Shoring up sales is vital in an era where the cost of developing high-spec "AAA" games has mounted into the hundreds of millions of dollars -- exposing studios to massive risk should their games not perform as hoped. But several breakout hits have recently shown that lower-budget games can still win over players with gameplay, story and art style, such as four-million-selling French turn-based battler "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33". "There's a realisation you don't need to spend masses of money to deliver a high-quality game that can appeal broadly and so everyone is rushing towards that model," said Christopher Dring, founder of industry website The Game Business. But "for every 'Clair Obscur' success story, there are 10 games that fail to find an audience at all," Piscatella pointed out. "It's hyper-competitive for those products outside of that big sphere" and smaller developers must fight hard for the funding they need to get games to market. Nor is the cult-hit trend likely to displace the mega-budget mastodons. Analysts predict that Rockstar Games' vast "Grand Theft Auto VI" could notch up the biggest launch for any entertainment product in history. That might be the juice the flagging industry needs to regain some of its mojo. kf/tgb/gv/lb Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

James Bond 'has to be a guy', says Helen Mirren

Dame Helen Mirren has said James Bond should be played by a man, even though she is "such a feminist". In a new interview with Saga Magazine, the Oscar-winning actor said "you can't have a woman. It just doesn't work. James Bond has to be James Bond, otherwise it becomes something else". Amazon MGM Studios will produce the next iteration of the spy franchise, with Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight set to write what will become the 26th film in the series. The Studios previously said they were planning a "fresh" take on franchise but would honour the "legacy" of the "iconic character". The 80-year-old is currently starring opposite former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan in the much anticipated film adaption of The Thursday Murder Club, in which she plays a retired spy. Brosnan, 72, also told the magazine that he believed a male actor should continue to play Bond and he was excited to "see a whole new exuberance and life for this character." He starred in four Bond films during his tenure as 007, starting with GoldenEye in 1995 and finishing with Die Another Day, which was released in 2002. Mirren has previously been quoted saying that the concept of James Bond was "born out of profound sexism", and that women have always been an "incredibly important part" of the Secret Service. Mirren and Brosnan are not the first to push back on the idea of Bond being played by a woman, with the sentiment echoed by Brosnan's Die Another Day costar, Halle Berry. "In 2025, it's nice to say, 'Oh, she should be a woman.' But, I don't really know if I think that's the right thing to do," she said, speaking at Cannes Film Festival in May. The James Bond franchise was owned by the Broccoli family for more than 60 years, but producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson sold creative control to Amazon for a reported $1bn (£760m) earlier this year. Speculation about who will next play the titular character has been rife, with British actors Aaron Taylor-Johnson and James Norton rumoured as frontrunners for the part. There is no current release date set for the next film. Who will be the next James Bond? Speculation mounts after Amazon buys 007 Peaky Blinders creator will write new James Bond film Amazon plans 'fresh' James Bond but will respect 007 legacy
