Father’s Day is just around the corner and I’m here to help you gentlemen (and ladies) get ahead of schedule and do your Father’s Day gift shopping now. Father’s Day is Sunday, June 16th so be sure to mark your calendars and get in your orders early.
This is a particularly special Father’s Day for me because it’s my first Father’s Day as a dad. What I’m getting at here is I basically expect everyone in my family to buy me Father’s Day gifts to distract me from the fact that my 2-month-old infant son is screaming from his bassinet.
Given my particular expertise here at BroBible over the years in crafting together gift guides of things guys actually want to purchase I thought I’d throw together a list of 2019 Father’s Day Gift Ideas for everyone to sift through and pick out the best items for dad. You can scoop up any of the Father’s Day gifts below by clicking any of the links in this article.
FuegoBox Hot Sauces
Fuego Box
I guess I came into fatherhood at the perfect time because I’ve currently got a collection fo about 15 to 20 hot sauces in my fridge and another 5+ on the shelf in my pantry. I’ve got truffled hot sauces, habanero hot sauces. I have everything from a blueberry hot sauce for putting on breakfast burritos to a banana buffalo sauce for wings that will change your life. I’m always on the hunt for new hot sauces and that’s why FuegoBox is so incredible.
You can get $10 off a FuegoBox membership with the code ‘BROBIBLE10’ and pay only $19.95 for $29.95 worth of hot sauce!
Treat Dad To The GilletteLabs Heated Razor
GilletteLabs
There’s a decent chance that your father is the man who taught you how to shave your face. Now you can repay that favor by hooking dad up with the hottest razor in the world right now. The GilletteLabs Heated Razor is a complete game-changer because it provides all of the luxuries of a barbershop hot towel shave at the press of a button. Thanks to the evolution of shaving technology, the GilletteLabs Heated Razor has taken their traditional 5 blade razor to the next level by adding a heated blade. Within seconds, the blade will heat to temperatures of 109 – 119 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you really want to put a smile on dad’s face this Father’s Day then give him the best razor out there so he can shave away that stubble like a professional and experience the best shaving years of his life at home.
Take Dad Fishing (Or Get Him Some Fishing Gear)
Dads love fishing. This is a universal fact. If anyone ever asks me what I want for Father’s Day the answer can either be long-winded with a list of random shit or they could save me the breath and just take me fishing. I know that finding a great fishing guide to put you on the fish can be a pain in the butt and that’s why I’m suggesting you go out with Capt. Jimmy of Everglades Fishing Co. who was featured on Fox News (and here on BroBible) for this crazy footage of a 500-pound Goliath Grouper swallowing a shark like it was nothing.
You can get dad a half day or full day fishing charter in the Everglades National Park fishing inshore or the backcountry (or both) where he’ll be able to catch everything from Snook to Tarpon to Cobia to Sharks. I’m a HUGE proponent of buying experiences instead of material items when possible. Make this a Father’s Day to live a little and go fishing instead of just buying dad another flask. Everglades Fishing Co. also sells a ton of premium fishing gear including UPF hats and shirts (shirt pictured above). Pick up one of these for dad so he can wear it while fishing!
Deejo Knives For Everyday Carry
Deejo
Dad loves pocket knives. I’d wager there’s actually a pretty good chance that your father is the person who gave you your very first pocket knife in life. Now is the time to return the favor with one of these Deejo Knives.
These unique Deejo Knives pocket knives feature interesting and customizable blade tattoos. In fact, these are some of the most customizable knives on the planet so you can ensure that dad gets a pocket knife he’ll truly love. They are super light and ideal for everyday carry. After choosing your blade and handle you can pick a unique ‘tattoo’ to make the knife your own as well as choosing the blade and handle features.
‘Leisure Sodas’ from Casamara Club
Casamara Club
A college friend of my wife’s started this company, Casamara Club, based out of Detroit. These ‘leisure sodas’ are all based on familiar flavors like the Negroni and Amaro but these are alcohol-free sodas. Don’t get me wrong, they make PERFECT mixers if you want to pour some alcohol in them, but they are low in sugar but still manage to pack a ton of flavor.
I’ve turned a few friends onto these sodas and they are hooked. I personally recommend picking up the variety pack instead of buying the individual flavors but to each his own, you can’t go wrong with these. If you’re looking to wow dad with a unique gift, something he hasn’t seen before, then this is it.
Christopher Cloos Sunglasses For Dad
Christopher Cloos
Don’t let dad step out this Summer rocking those transition lenses or hideous 1980’s-style sunglasses. Help dad out and hook him up with some Christopher Cloos sunglasses that will have him looking 10-years younger and stylish.
Above, we see the Christopher Cloos Passable Collection sunglasses in Espresso. This classic design of shades is named for the South of France and feature a round but minimalistic shape with polarized CR39 lenses, gold engravings, durable and flexible hinges, and they come with a signature leather case + cleaning cloth.
3 of the Best Rye Whiskeys For Dad
Want to hook dad up with some quality Rye Whiskey? I recently published a piece on 22 of the Best Whiskeys of 2019 (so far) and I’ve pulled some items here from that. Here we see three of my favorite Rye expressions. By law, an official ‘Rye Whiskey’ must be made from a mash of at least 51% Rye and all of these qualify. We begin with the Knob Creek Straight Rye Whiskey which has a strong spice and hints of oak with vanilla to the taste. Second is Basil Hayden’s Dark Rye Whiskey which has been on my bar shelf since the month it came out. I love this Dark Rye which carries a finish of lingering fruit and has a complex taste of caramel, oak, spice, and dried fruit.
The Bullet 12-Year-Old Rye is a newer expression, it was released in March 2019 so just a few months ago. This small-batch Rye has a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley and has plenty of spice and oak on the nose while it opens up with strong notes of clove and vanilla.

‘Surf Collection’ From Highly Clutch
Do you have a super chill dad? Look no further than the Surf Collection from Highly Clutch. These throwback vintage-style tees come on premium heather and they’re super affordable. You can pick up dad one of these t-shirts and get out of Father’s Day without having to spend a fortune.
3 of the Best Bourbons of 2019
Moving onto the Bourbons and Single Malts, we’ve got six but we’ll start with the three above. First up is the Heaven’s Door Double Barrel Whiskey which is a unique blend of three whiskeys. Fun fact about this distillery, Bob Dylan is a partner in it. This 100-proof Bourbon was awarded 93-points and won ‘Double Gold’ at the San Francisco Spirits Competition.
Next is the Orphan Barrel Whiskey Co. Forager’s Keep and I know this is under the ‘Bourbon’ section but it’s actually a Single Malt that I wanted to make sure you guys didn’t miss. This is 26-years matured and rescued from the Speyside Pittyvaich distillery which shuttered its doors in 1993 due to restructuring. Forager’s Keep is the first single malt release from Orphan Barrel and it blew me away.
Third, is Booker’s “Teresa’s Batch”. I couldn’t put together a list of the best whiskey on the planet without including Bookers. Their annual ‘batch’ releases are the highlights of my year and Teresa’s Batch has been divine. It has a dark amber color and carries flavor notes of vanilla, nuts, and oak. This was the first Booker’s Batch release of 2019 and the second is out now, the Shiny Barrel Batch which you can read all about by clicking that link.
