Memorial Day weekend has come and gone, which means the next holiday on the calendar is Father's Day. Although I'm constantly reminding my dad how grateful I am for him (especially after panic-texting him about tax forms or calling him every time a mysterious light appears on my car dashboard), Father's Day is the perfect excuse to show him a little extra appreciation. And since his birthday conveniently falls just a few days before the holiday, he's getting spoiled twice.
In years past, I've gone the classic dad-gift route: grill accessories, golf clothes, sneakers, you know the drill. But this year, I wanted to surprise him with something he'd never think to buy for himself. While my dad would never call himself a self-care person, every grooming, skincare, and fragrance product my mom and I have introduced him to has become part of his daily routine, so I knew this was the category to shop for him. I headed to Bloomingdale's, one of my favorite places to stock up on beauty essentials, and found an impressive array of luxe finds I know he'll love and use every day. This year, skip the predictable gifts and treat the father figure in your life to elevated beauty finds guaranteed to upgrade his routine.
Gift Sets
I'm personally a huge fan of gift sets—they're such an easy way to introduce someone to a full lineup of products they might not have picked out for themselves. I know my dad will especially appreciate the shaving kit below.
Skincare
Skincare is definitely a category many guys tend to overlook, but men deserve a solid routine just as much as the rest of us. These everyday essentials will make any father figure feel a little more pampered.
Woody Scents
My dad has always gravitated toward woody fragrances, so these are right up his alley. Whether you're in the mood to splurge or looking for something a little more budget-friendly, these scents are guaranteed to earn compliments and make him feel extra special.
Fresh Scents
A great scent always feels super thoughtful and personal. With summer officially here, fresh fragrances are phenomenal gifts that they'll wear all season long.
Gourmand Scents
Lastly, for the dads who like richer, more indulgent scents, these picks are guaranteed to make his day. Not only do they smell incredible, but the bottles would make great display pieces in his bathroom or dresser.
