"Did they send me [darkness] when I asked for [SUN]."
1. A fan-favorite Orolay parka — this coat has so many features, you'll wish you had this many winters ago. Let's see...it's got a fleece-lined hood and six big pockets, it's windproof, and it's just friggin' cute! You'll be warm and on-trend.
Promising review:"This coat is no joke. The coldest temperature I tested it out was 9 degrees, and I did not feel like I was freezing at all! I even tried to wear with just a T-shirt, no sweaters/layers underneath, to see if I felt cold...nothing. No cold! Boomshakalaka! It's also so stylish, roomy, has a thousand pockets (goodbye purse!), and looks different from all the rest out there." — Zhure
Get it from Amazon for $125.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–5XL and in 12 colors).

2. A reparative O'Keeffe's night lip treatment you should apply before bed if the cold has caused your lips to crack! It's formulated with beeswax and shea butter to help you wake up to refreshed and moisturized lips.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful. I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products, so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed, and my lips healed faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic, and I won't go anywhere without it now." — Anna C. Adams
Get it from Amazon for $8.60.
3. A pack of spiced tea bags so you can easily make warming hot toddies, mulled wine, or apple cider right at home. Just add to your (alcoholic) beverage of choice and enjoy!
Amazon
These tea bags are sugar- and caffeine-free!
Olde Tradition Spice is a small business!
Promising review:"What a treat on a cold day. Use it in juice, water, cider, or wine. Delicious." — Carol
Get a pack of eight from Olde Tradition Spice for $11.99+ (also available in a pack of 24).
4. A self-heating mug to keep you from having to microwave the same cup of coffee a million times because it's so cold outside that your drink keeps practically freezing over. This mug has three temperature settings and a long-lasting battery to keep you sipping that perfectly warmed beverage for hours.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This comes with a lid and a charging base.
Promising review:"If you like to walk away from your hot beverage and keep coming back to a hot cup, this is for you. I love that it is portable, and I don't have to keep it on a warming plate. It can go outside on my deck. And I love that it has three heating options!!" — Cheryl M.
Get it from Amazon for $99.95+ (available in 10 colors).
5. A baby-wipe warmer if your little one has made it known that they are not a fan of a cold wipe on their bottom. It's even got a night-light feature that has a 10-minute auto shutoff.
Promising review:"I love this thing. I'm SO glad I got it. My child is 2 months old, and we've been using it since we got home, and there's been zero mold. It's super easy to fill and holds a whole pack of wipes. It has a nice long cord as well as a little light, and it locks on the sides of the bottom lid to keep it down when pulling out wipes. Now, when I use cold wipes in the daytime, they bother my hands because I'm used to warm wipes, so I can't imagine how nice it is for my little one to have them warmed up. It heats up only on the top of the lockable portion of the warmer. Not too hot, not too cold, and no little hands can get into it as long as it's locked. The only issue (which isn't huge) that I've run into is that when the wipes get low, the inside gets pretty hot. This is fixed as soon as it's filled again. I was so indecisive on this issue, and I'm so glad I decided to splurge." — BR
Get it from Amazon for $29.97.
6. A checkered electric heated pet pad — find your kitty's favorite of 11 temperature settings. Its cover is also machine-washable and its cord is chew-resistant. Your furry friend will be so comfy in their new bed that you'll be able to keep your bed all to yourself.
Promising review:"This has been a fantastic addition to our home. Its size is perfect for cats and smaller dogs, providing a cozy and warm spot for them to relax. The adjustable temperature feature is great, as it allows me to set it to my cat's preferred range of 85–90 degrees. Any hotter, and my cat tends to move away, so it's nice to have the flexibility to adjust it to their comfort level. One unexpected benefit is that it helps keep my cat off my laptop while I'm trying to work, which has been a huge plus! The washable cover is easy to clean, making maintenance a breeze. Overall, this heating pad has made a noticeable difference in my cat's comfort and my productivity. Highly recommended!" — Salty
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors).
7. A portable oscillating space heater with an adjustable thermostat to keep you warm as you sit by your window and watch the snow fall. This energy-efficient heater not only gets hot super fast but is also super quiet.
Promising review: "Firstly, this heater puts out a tremendous amount of heat. I got this for a room that doesn't have a door, so I didn't expect it to heat the space that well. Surprisingly, this heater not only makes the entire space comfy, but the adjacent hall to the room manages to get warm from this heater as well. It's also incredibly quiet. It's the quietest heater I've had for this space, and I've had a few different ones in this space. It's also so sleek. It looks high-tech while not requiring a lot of space or tech know-how. Plug it in and either push power on the remote or power on the actual device, and you're ready to go. It has three modes and yes, I can tell the difference between low and high heat output. The timer is wonderful. And the remote is serviceable enough to be useful." — L. Thornhill
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in two colors).
8. Or a Shark air purifier and heater that not only provides heat but also filters out 99.98% of large, small, and micro-sized particles like smog, toxins, and smoke.
This can also work as a fan in warmer months.
Promising review:"I slept so well. I woke up feeling refreshed and with no headache for the first time in a long time. It was on all night, and it stayed warm in my home; I didn't have to turn my heater on in the morning like I usually do since the temperatures have been in the low 30s. It is fantastic!" — Sandy
Get it from Amazon for $189.99+ (available in two colors).
9. A pair of faux fur-lined rain boots because it's no longer enough for waterproof shoes to just keep your feet dry; they must also keep your feet warm. And these Chelsea booties definitely fit the bill!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I bought these to wear on an Alaska cruise since it rains a lot. I hate my feet to be cold and wet. These worked great and were very warm and comfortable. My feet never got wet or cold while hiking in the rain or walking around on the deck, even when it was cold and rainy. I didn't wear them ahead of time to break them in, and they never caused any issues." — Tammie Self
Get them from Amazon for $35.23+ (available in sizes women's sizes 5–11 and six colors).
10. Or a pair of waterproof slip-on snow boots if you don't have time to deal with shoelaces when your pup is itching to go out and do their business in the winter snow. Just slide these warm boots on, and you're good to go!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I wore these for a week every day while traveling in Oregon. We encountered some snow while hiking around, but my feet never got cold or wet from the snow." — L
Get it from Amazon for $26.98+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and in five colors).
11. A microwavable cat-shaped heating pad that you'll want to cuddle up with on chilly nights. And you can also use it to help relieve period cramps, body aches, and pain.
The cover is machine washable.
Promising review: "What a face! So darn cute. The fabric is very soft. The size is puuurfekt. It's sewed so expertly that I'm impressed, right out of the box (which is pretty enough not to need any gift wrap if you might want to send it). And it's weighted just right. I don't plan to use it as a heating pad, but as a comfy hug-me when I need a herbal-infused soother. The scent is light but earthy and refreshing. Very cute!!" — J. E. Nelson
Get it from Amazon for $17.69.
12. A pair of fleece-lined leggings — stay warm and cozy all winter long. These comfy thermal leggings are perfect for your morning runs, long and chilly plane rides, and just lounging around the house. And it's got pockets...POCKETS!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I was looking for some comfy, breathable, and warm leggings for traveling. Bought two others with higher reviews, and these beat them hands-down on quality and fit. Bought my usual size, and they fit beautifully. Comparable to luxury brands without the price!" — Keri A
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 13 colors).
13. A boot dryer and warmer because you don't have time to wait for your boots to thaw from yesterday's snowy excursion; you have things to do and people to see! This device silently warms the air that rises into the boots so they dry more quickly.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I was skeptical about the 'no moving parts' thing, and also concerned for energy usage because I'm a cheapskate when it comes to that electric bill. But some sorcery allows for this thing to have no moving parts, low energy consumption, AND the boots are hot in the morning. No more wet toes before I even leave the house. I read a lot of reviews of people whining about not having an on/off switch or having to unplug it to turn it off. I thought it was a legitimate concern before purchasing, but I have now determined that it was just whining. I have two pairs of boots anyway so there's always one pair on it. Pleased with purchase." — Public name (required)
Get it from Amazon for $49.95.
14. A rechargeable hand warmer to keep your hands nice and cozy if you're worried that they won't survive the lower temperatures. And with three heating levels, it can be customized to your comfort!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"My husband and I go to Colorado every winter and when I found these, they became a game changer. They are so helpful, especially on the mountain skiing or when we went snowmobiling. I didn't have any trouble with the battery lasting and I would just recharge at the end of each day! I'll never suffer through the cold elements again without it!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in nine colors/patterns).
15. A bath overflow drain cover if you've been dreaming of dunking your entire body into a warming bath but know that your tub can't handle more than a few inches of water because of that dang drain! This cover's suction cup and power grip help ensure an ultra-tight seal, so go ahead and fill that tub up!
Amazon
Promising review:"I have a high-stress job, and I've started taking baths as a way to unwind. However, it never seemed like I could keep enough water in the tub to really enjoy it. This little thing makes a HUGE difference!! I get at least an extra three inches of water and it is great." — Hyacinthe Snyder
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in nine colors).
16. A pack of four outdoor faucet covers that'll help protect your faucets from the elements this winter. Because a frozen or burst pipe is not something you wanna deal with. Like, ever.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "We bought these to cover our outdoor faucets in lieu of the styrofoam option. Not only are they super easy to install, but they worked perfectly and withstood anything the winter weather threw at us." — Carissa Eaton
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $18.99.
17. A pair of comfy-cozy fleece-lined Crocs because your regular-degular Crocs are not super great at keeping your feet warm but you're still determined to rep Crocs all year long. Get ready for a snug fit that conforms to your feet and keeps your toes toasty!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "I love my lined Crocs. I hate having cold feet, so these come in handy." — Maria Moya
"I admit it: I was a Crocs hater for a while, but these absolutely converted me. I wear them everywhere! So comfortable, easy to slip on, and warm with the fur. Will be getting some more Crocs soon." — Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in women's sizes 4–17/men's sizes 2–15 and 35 colors).
And if you're more into fur than fleece, Crocs makes faux fur–lined platform Crocs, too!
18. A Levoit humidifier whose large 6-liter tank is perfect for helping humidify large rooms because maybe you'll breathe a little easier this winter with more moisture in the air. Plus, it's super quiet, so you can WFH during the day and sleep through the night in silence.
BuzzFeed writer Melanie Aman has this humidifier and swears by it: "When I moved to NYC, the winters absolutely destroyed me, and I dealt with dry, flaky skin and constant nose bleeds. I knew I needed to get a humidifier, so I bought the first one I found on Amazon, and it was...fine...but I hated how hard it was to clean. So, I bought another humidifier. And then another humidifier. But every humidifier I bought was just soooo hard to clean. They all had nooks and crannies — or even unreachable surfaces — that got moldy fast and required a lot of contorting of my wrist to wipe down with a sponge. I also hated having to refill the water tank every day. So, I went searching for a humidifier that was easy to clean and had a big water tank. This bad boy ticks all the boxes for me, and the app features are fantastic. You can set the target humidity in a space, and the humidifier will run until it reaches the threshold, which it will then maintain. It also has schedule and timer features, but I don't use those since I work from home and have the humidifier running basically 24/7. There's even a plant identifier feature that will set the humidity at the optimal level for whatever plants you have."
Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in two styles and colors).
19. A window insulator kit if you need help lowering your energy costs this winter. This crystal-clear film heat shrinks to seal out drafts so you can enjoy a toasty home this season.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I buy this every winter, and it makes a BIG difference! We have super-thin windows, and this works like a charm to stop 80% of the cold drafts. I find I can sit right next to the window without a problem after installing them. It's easy to install and looks invisible after you apply heat with a hair dryer. No one will be able to tell there's a film, and it'll look completely transparent after you apply heat. It was so satisfying to see the wrinkles disappear! It looks great, works great, and will save you energy! Win-win win!" — Raymond
Get a five-window kit from Amazon for $21.49 (also available in a 10-window kit).
20. A magnetic insulated door curtain to stop winter's cold winds from making their way through your closed front door. This thermal and weatherproof cover can also be used on basement and garage doors. Now, you can actually feel the warmth your radiator's been emitting.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I needed something to help with the amount of cold air that would come into the house every time our front door was opened. Winters in Alaska can be brutal, and our arctic entryway is not heated. Since I hung the thermal curtain, I have noticed a huge difference! Perfect length, great material, super strong magnets…almost too strong. They close on their own every time. Would recommend." — Laroberts907
Get it from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in a variety of sizes and three colors).
21. And an attic stairway insulation cover because the shiver going up your spine isn't because your attic is creepy as heck; it's because there's cold air escaping from it. OK, maybe your attic is also creepy. But this easy-to-install cover might just help you save on your energy bills.
Promising review: "Beautifully made!! Came in a small box, and I was dubious. Unfolded it and realized how wonderfully it fit. The trickiest part was the stapler. It took less than five minutes to staple and make secure. Immediately noticed less cold and less noise!! Wish I had done this simple task years ago." — CC BBQer
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available with or without a staple gun).
22. A plush, double-sided shaggy faux-fur duvet set so warm, you'll have absolutely zero reasons to complain about the dropping temps! And since one side is faux fur and the other side is velvet, you'll be cozy no matter which one you choose.
Amazon
Promising review:"If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I'd grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it, and it's seriously so cozy and well-made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It's incredibly soft and isn't the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things, so I'm here to tell you — if you're on the fence about buying this...do it!!" — Sk
Get it from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and 32 colors).

23. A wool blend knit hood if your fave coat doesn't have a hood, or maybe it does, but it's just not doing enough to keep you warm. Reviewers even say how easy it is to layer under/over clothes.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I love this!!! I am from Georgia and was planning a trip to Indiana. I am not used to the cold weather. I hate to be cold. One thing on our agenda was ice skating, and I was worried about staying warm on the ice. I do not like hats on my head. This was so convenient. It worked as a scarf and hat. It was warm. It was soft. It did not cause static, either. And it looks good on." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in eight colors).
24. A quick-heating stainless-steel electric kettle that'll get a lot of use if wintertime means tea, cocoa, and abandoning your cold brew for a hot pour-over coffee. Its charming precision-pour spout means you'll get the perfect amount of hot water. Every. Time.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"We were searching for a new kettle that would meet our needs, and this one fits the bill perfectly. My wife uses it to heat water for French press coffee, and I use it for pour-over coffee. The temperature settings would work great for tea as well. I love the hold feature so I can keep the temp constant while making pour-over. The spout works great and gives me excellent control over flow and location. It also looks sharp on the counter! We use it every day, and we are very happy with our purchase." — Steven Baker
Get it from Amazon for $69.99.
25. A pair of slip-on, microwaveable slipper boots because your freezing feet are begging for relief. Just pop them in the microwave for up to 90 seconds. Oh, and they're lavender-scented for a little aromatherapy!
www.amazon.com
26. An adjustable window AC unit cover to protect you from the wintry winds that will try to blow through your unit's vent. Its embedded cotton also prevents warm air from escaping your home and venturing into the wild.
www.amazon.com
Just be sure to check the size of the cover against the size of your AC unit!
Promising review:"I love it. I put it on, and then, in probably a half hour, I could notice the change in the room. That breeze was gone." — DA-BIGGUY
Get it from Amazon for $17.59+ (available in three sizes and in black and white).
27. A set of four self-adhesive shower curtain clips since one of the worst things about winter is the cold air ruining what would otherwise be a scalding hot shower. Protect your steam with these clips! They'll also help keep water from splashing onto your bathroom floor.
Amazon
Promising review:"These are awesome shower clips! They keep the water from getting on the floor, and they keep the cold air out. They were super easy to install." — Ben P
Get the pack of four on Amazon for $7.99 (also available in a pack of eight).

13 Comfy Men's Shoes Perfect for Summer Travel—and They Make Easy Last-minute Gifts
One Father's Day gift-giving tip I can offer you—as both a daughter and a professional shopping writer—is this: Every dad is unique. I get it; finding a decent gift for the man who seems to have everything can be tricky. Still, I urge you to resist the sea of mini tool kits and office putting green mats that, for whatever reason, seem to make an appearance on every 'Best Father's Day Gifts' shopping roundup across the web. Unless he's growing out his facial hair or has recently developed a taste for craft cocktails, you can probably skip the beard oil sets and whiskey decanters, too. Novelty presents can be fun, don't get me wrong—but if you really want to give your dad something he'll brag about for years to come, functional gifts are the way to go. And there's one thing that, despite all their differences, all dads can agree on: Comfy shoes are king. To help you match the dad in your life with a pair of quality, comfortable shoes he'll love, I've rounded up the 13 best styles I could find on Amazon. From slip-on loafers that feel like house slippers to running shoes so handsome they could be worn to dinner, this list features only the best of the best. You'll find lightweight, travel-friendly beach sandals, casual sneakers, and flip-flops from trusted brands, including Adidas and Skechers, with prices starting at just $34. These sneaky slip-on laced sneakers from Brooks are suited for the dad who's always on the go. They're built with a stretchy, sock-like opening and an adjustable knit upper that work together to let you slip them on and off in a flash—even when fully laced. Lightweight and cushioned, these shoes have earned the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance for promoting good foot health, and Amazon shoppers rave about their comfort and reliability. Reviewers say they're 'comfortable out of the box,' 'have a nice, supportive fit,' and feel like 'walking on a cloud.' These running shoes aren't just beloved by Amazon shoppers—I personally swear by the Glycerin Stealthfit line for keeping my feet comfortable while clocking thousands of steps around New York City. If your dad basically lives in cozy slippers 24/7, consider gifting him these Skechers slip-on loafers for Father's Day. Constructed with a lightly padded collar, cushioned memory foam footbed, and grippy rubber outsoles, they make the perfect travel shoe. Just ask this jet-setting Amazon shopper: Despite running over his bare feet with a chainsaw 10 days prior (yes, really), he was able to comfortably board a flight thanks to how roomy and forgiving they are. Handsome yet casual, these loafers are ideal for running errands, grabbing lunch with the family, or breezing through TSA—and according to multiple five-star reviewers, they're so soft and supportive, your pops' feet will 'feel as if they are in slippers all day.' I'm calling it: Hey Dude loafers are about to be *the* men's shoe of the summer. Previously $65, these under-$50 slip-ons are lightweight, flexible, and machine-washable—a trifecta of features that makes them great for travel. The rounded toe offers plenty of room, while the stretchy elastic laces help them mold to your foot's shape without sacrificing ease of wear. 'These are all I wear,' one Amazon shopper raved. 'I don't have to bend over to put them on, they are light on my feet, and they go with just about everything.' Another five-star reviewer added, 'If you're looking for all-day comfort, these are the shoes for you. They're so light I feel like I'm walking barefoot.' Allow me to present the only walking flip-flop your dad will ever need: The Olukai Ohana Beach Sandal. Designed with water-friendly, quick-drying thong straps, arch-supporting footbeds, and grippy rubber outsoles, they're made to handle everything from beach days to boat decks without missing a step. While the $80 price tag might feel like a tough pill to swallow, Amazon reviewers agree they're well worth the investment. 'These are the best-made sandal[s] that I've ever owned,' one shopper wrote, noting they were already back to purchase a second pair. 'The price seems steep for a pair of sandals, but you get what you pay for.' Another reviewer shared that she bought a pair for her husband three years ago—and they're still going strong. A third added that they 'get more and more comfortable with wear,' and praised 'the value, comfort, and features justify the price.' Podiatrist-approved brand Vionic puts comfort at the forefront—and the Walk Max sneakers are no exception. Tested for performance by independent footwear research lab Heeluxe, these walking shoes feature the brand's lightest midsole yet, offering extra rebound with every step to absorb shock and reduce impact on your joints. Breathable, water-repellant, flexible, and lightweight, they've earned rave reviews from Amazon shoppers, with one saying they 'never want to take them off.' If a family beach trip or all-inclusive resort vacation is on your summer agenda, grab these Crocs sandals for your dad before you go. The adjustable faux leather straps have an understated embossed logo (no one would guess they're Crocs at first glance!) and the plush foam footbeds offer sink-in softness for all-day comfort. 'These Crocs sandals are perfect for the beach but stylish enough to wear with almost any casual outfit,' wrote one five-star reviewer. 'Great grip, lightweight, and easy to clean—they've become my go-to sandals for everyday wear!' Between the anatomically shaped cork soles, soft suede footbeds, and adjustable buckle straps, these Birkenstock Arizona sandals are a dream for the laid-back dads of the world. They offer the comfort, style, and durability Birkenstock is known for—especially among chronic foot pain sufferers and those with joint issues. 'These things changed my life,' wrote one five-star reviewer who had been dealing with round-the-clock foot and heel pain. 'All of my foot pain has gone away,' they added. 'I have serious knee problems and have had a total knee reconstruction, so wearing good shoes is important for me,' another shopper wrote. 'I walked all day in these in an outdoor shopping mall and nothing hurts! I'm already thinking about buying another pair soon.' If the man in your life is in serious need of a reliable daily driver shoe, look no further than the New Balance 574 sneakers. Since 1988, the 574 has delivered the cushioning, breathability, and versatility dads need to go from soccer games to dinner dates—all in a single day. The retro-inspired silhouette suits just about any aesthetic (read: they'll look good in any closet). Don't just take our word for it—one father of two calls them the 'best dad shoes out there.' If your dad isn't already a Hoka running shoe loyalist, let this be the year that he converts. The Bondi 9 sneakers come loaded with the foot-loving features the brand is known for: a padded 3D-molded collar, premium foam midsole, engineered mesh knit upper, and durable rubber outsole, to name a few. One Amazon shopper—and Hoka newbie—gave them a five-star rating for their comfort, fit, and quality. 'I stand all day and push 10,000-15,000 steps; I needed shoes that would help my feet make it through the day,' they shared. 'If you've never tried the Hoka brand and you are looking for a comfortable shoe of high quality, look no further.' Who says comfy walking shoes can't be sleek? The Adidas Kaptir 3.0 sneakers have a slim, contoured knit upper and a rugged midsole that's equal parts sporty and stylish—making them a must for the sneakerhead dad in your life. 'I've had these for a few months now and they've quickly become my favorite travel shoes,' wrote one sneaker-collecting reviewer. 'I love that I don't have to overpack,' they add. 'These work great for casual outings, hitting the gym, and even for a quick run when I'm traveling.' Previously $90, they're now on sale for $62 ahead of Father's Day. Comfy? Check. Lightweight? Check. Handsome? Check. The Skechers Delson-Camden ticks all the boxes for a wear-anywhere travel sneaker any dad would love. Available in 16 colorways and a wide range of sizes—including wide options—these walking shoes have earned nearly 30,000 five-star reviews on Amazon alone. One shopper couldn't even believe these were Skechers. Unsurprisingly, many reviewers say the Deslon-Camden sneakers made the perfect Father's Day gift, with one happy customer sharing that her husband now calls them 'the best shoe ever.' Travel+Leisure writers and editors rave about Nortiv 8 for its durable, comfortable hiking boots—but its lineup of walking shoes deserves just as much attention. Case in point: These Activefloat running sneakers. On sale for under $50, they feature a plush, shock-absorbing EVA midsole that eases knee strain, plus a mesh foam insole designed to reduce foot fatigue. Lightweight and versatile, these sneakers are praised not only 'for running' but also for everyday wear—whether that means traveling, powering through long office days, or even hitting the trails. If the dad in your life cringes at the thought of wearing flip-flops during the summer months, these Dockers may make him into a sandals convert. Equipped with memory foam cushioned insoles along with thick, adjustable straps and a blister-banning padded heel strap, these Newpage sandals are 'comfortable all day long' and 'feel like bedroom slippers,' according to five-star reviewers. Hundreds of other shoppers report they made a fabulous gift for fathers, with one sharing these were a 'game-changer' for her dad who previously avoided sandals due to his wide feet and high arches.

Kyle Richards, 56, calls this dermatologist-approved tinted face sunscreen 'the absolute best'
Talk to any dermatologist, and they'll tell you how important it is to wear sunscreen. Not only does it prevent nasty burns, but it can help you avoid sunspots, fine lines and other signs of aging. Not thrilled by the idea of getting lotioned up every day? Sunscreen for your face has evolved a lot over the years. Thick, oily formulas have yielded to lightweight, silky moisturizers, and the best tinted sunscreens are designed to help smooth out your complexion. One top-seller, loved by Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards, is EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Face Sunscreen. In an Amazon Live shopping video, Richards shared a list of her vacation essentials while in Mexico with her daughters. She calls the sunscreen "the absolute best, best, best product." "Anywhere in the world, but especially on vacation, you know my favorite product I always talk about — everybody I know uses this," she says while holding up a bottle of the SPF 46. "I use the tinted one, so I start with this on my face before I go anywhere." She adds that "it feels really good on your skin." However, Richards also shares that she didn't always take care of her skin, and she has sun damage that "tortures" her. Now, she's making an effort to always wear sunscreen (she also loves this one by Supergoop!) and says she wants her girls to learn from her mistakes. EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Face Sunscreen is formulated for those with sensitive skin who may be prone to acne, rosacea and hyperpigmentation. It contains niacinamide, which can keep excess oil production in check and make pores appear smaller. The oil-free zinc oxide SPF comes in three levels: SPF 40, SPF 46 or SPF 50. You can wear it under your makeup or on its own, like a light foundation, thanks to its subtle tint. A pump makes it easier to dispense what you need, so you're not repeatedly sticking your fingers into a jar. "I love this stuff!" wrote one of the 15,000-plus five-star Amazon shoppers. "It's non-drying and doesn't break me out! I was recommended it by my dermatologist. Also, I love the that it is tinted to give a little bit of a light makeup look without the effort." "Best SPF ever for oily skin!" wrote another fan. "I have tried countless SPFs for the face and they always end up leaving my face greasy and sliding into my eyes, which stings. A dermatologist recommended this brand to me and it has been the best thing ever! It actually absorbs in my skin with zero grease and I forget it's even on. Makeup goes on perfectly on top." "It's a savior for my sensitive eyes," said a final reviewer. "I've struggled with sunblocks that irritate my eyes, but this one is gentle and doesn't cause any burning or discomfort. I should also mention that I have oily skin, and this sunblock has been a true hero in controlling shine. ... The only drawback is its size and price. It's a tad small, and I wish it came in a larger container. But, quality often comes at a price, and I'm more than willing to invest in something that works wonders for my skin." The tinted sunscreen comes in only one shade, so it may be harder to blend on darker skin tones. If the tint doesn't work for you, good news: There's also a clear formula. The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem.
