These cushiony shoes are more than your average flip-flops. Yes, Dad can wear them around the house and to the beach. But wherever he goes, he'll have the added benefit of active recovery, thanks to Oofos' soft foam, which absorbs impact and supports arches—def a great gift for the weekend warrior.
This Father's Day gift is also a gift to dad's car, favorite boots, or furniture. The kit includes everything he needs to clean and condition leather, vinyl, and even faux/vegan leather to keep it in tip-top condition.
If your dad's idea of a fun afternoon involves lots of spandex and a cycling route, he'll love these sporty shades from Oakley to protect his eyes on the ride.

Who doesn't love a fire pit? (Even better when it produces minimal smoke.) This tabletop-sized fire pit from Solo Stove is designed for patios without the space for a full-sized pit. Yes, there's still plenty of room for toasting s'mores.

This spacious bag doubles as a tote and a backpack and is an ideal gift for the dad who often hits the beach/park/tailgate with a lot to carry. It's made from sustainable materials sourced and processed in Ethiopia, and has a rugged construction that will last for years.
This lightweight rain jacket is a must in any wardrobe. It stylishly comes in neutral colors, is made from packable, breathable recycled polyester, and has a soft and weightless feel.
