PSA: Birks 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 the suede footbed lining, which makes this show oh-so-comfortable. WH editorial assistant Addison Aloian has a pair herself, and they're her fav go-to shoe.

This smart toaster is made for the dads who take their morning toast (or afternoon paninis) seriously. Users select the specific kind of bread and dial in their preferred degree of doneness for the perfect crunch every morning.

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.

Loved by our (vegan) senior commerce editor, Neha Tandon, and her gluten-free sister, these vegan, gluten-free cookies are great for the dad who has a sweet tooth but also has tons of dietary restrictions, via allergies or choice.

When's the last time you bonded with your dad over a good ol' single malt? If it wasn't recently, it's probably time to replenish his collection. This 18 year-old single malt whisky is a favorite of WH editor Neha Tandon, who loves sipping on it with her own dad.
