These father’s day gifts will bring a smile to dad’s face:
Feather Popular Double Edge Safety Razor Shave Bundle (P1,399) from Shave Manila
Disposable razors, begone. Yes, electric shavers are a thing, but we’d like to point your attention to butterfly or double-edged razors, which get the job done efficiently and elevate the daily shave into a little premium, self-care ritual. Dad can replace the dull blades with new ones instead of buying another pack of razors. This one comes with the razor and 22 feather blades.
Available on Shopee.
Fuel cards (starts at P1,000) or fleet cards from the gas station
You might not feel it as much if dad drives you around as a favor, but fuel costs can add up and there’s no better present than a gift card from your dad’s preferred gas station like. It’s less of a fleet card and more of a fancy gift certificate he can use to pay for car fuel or other accessories and essentials from the gas station shop.
But hey, while you’re at it, might as well file in his application for a fleet card if you really want to go the extra mile. Trust us, he’ll appreciate it.
Available at gas stations nationwide.
30W USB Type-C Mini Car Charger Port (P239) from Essager
Road trips mean long expanses of asphalt with no sockets in sight, so it pays to have a charging port in the car that can help power small devices like phones. Just plug it into the auxiliary power outlet, use a wire, and he’s good to go. For faster charging, use a USB C cord.
Available on Lazada and Shopee.
PC061 22.5W Fast Charging 10000mAh Wireless Powerbank (P1,369) from BAVIN
Dad not a fan of cars? Well, we’re pretty sure he still has a phone that needs a power boost from time to time. Get him a reliable power bank like this wireless one from BAVIN. If dad’s phone isn’t Magsafe compatible, he can still use the charging cords he already has to recharge his phone.
Available on Lazada and Shopee.
Portable Rechargeable Electric Screwdriver (P1,625) from INGCO
Enough of mismatched bits and bobs and rusty screwdrivers. Time to purchase a new set of screwdrivers that will fit every nook dad will ever encounter in the house. But not just any screwdriver, no, this one is electric—that’s less elbow grease and more time spent gasping at how easy it is to screw and unscrew stuff with a single press. Cool gizmo reputation aside, this one’s actually useful and will ease the work on dad’s hands.
Available on Lazada and Shopee.
Nylon Body Bag (P790) from Uniqlo
Some dads swear off bags and claim pockets are enough, but for the dads that do like to bring a bag or pouch, this one from Uniqlo delivers at just P790. It’s just the right size for daily use and has roomy pockets that can fit all of dad’s essentials and more. We know his pants probably have big pockets for everything he could possibly need, but this bag can definitely elevate his outfit and carry stuff—he’s hitting two birds with one stone here.
Available online.
Carta Multi Card Case - Flat in genuine leather (P421) from NiQUA
This one’s for the dads who have sworn off bags and pouches. Stuff all the cards and cash dad could ever think of needing in this multi-card case from Marikina-based brand NiQUA. It’s made from genuine leather and you can take your pick from the numerous color options they have. Useful, compact, and high-quality, dad can easily incorporate this gift into his daily life.
Available on Shopee.
New Balance 574 Sneakers in Navy (P5,795)
Pops is unarguably leading the shoe game in the household thanks to the resurgence of dad shoe styles in recent years. Sure, you might have made fun of him for wearing kicks with extra thick soles and multi-fabric paneling, but his time is now and together you can strut in style in matching sneakers. Our recommendation? The New Balance 574 in this navy and white colorway that will pair with clothing pieces dad already has, all the while elevating his ensembles moving forward.
Available on Zalora.
AeroPress Go Travel Coffee Express (P2,750)
Coffee is a lifestyle for some and if your dad is obsessed with the beans, the AeroPress Go is a no-brainer gift. Just because the Aeropress Go is made for travel doesn’t make it less than the OG: it can still make one to three cups of hot coffee per pressing in about one minute. This set includes 350 micro filters, chamber, plunger, filter cap, filter holder, funnel, stirrer, and scooper.
Available on Shopee.
Huntsman Swiss Army Knife in Red (P2,389) from Victorinox
Swiss army knives from Victorinox are survival must-have for everyone, dad included. This variation has a small blade, can opener, a 3mm and 6mm screwdriver, bottle opener, wire stripper, reamer, punch and sewing awl, corkscrew, scissors, wood saw, multipurpose hook, toothpick, tweezers, and a key ring. All Swiss army knives can get dad out of a tough spot, but if you want to get him one in his favorite color, the shop also carries the useful gadget in other shades.
