Dads are the hardest people to shop for. Ask them what they want, and they’ll say “nothing”. Give them what they want and they’ll rave about it for years. While Sunday, September 4th might seem like a while away, Father’s Day is creeping up on us. Fortunately, Amazon Prime Day is already here, and there are some incredible gifting options across tools, skincare and fragrance (that’s eau de cologne for blokes, if he asks).

So, we rounded up some “treat yourself” men’s grooming and self-care products the old man is guaranteed to be delighted with.

Does your dad like to nerd out on gadgets? Do you have traumatic memories of blood-splotched toilet paper bits from his rogue shaving adventures? The Philips, Shaver Series 5000, Wet and Dry Electric Shaver (currently $145 from $201.64) will make too-close shaves a thing of the past, while also delighting your Dad.

The Series 5000 provides a fast, close shave with rounded “comfort cut” blades that glide comfortably over wet and dry facial skin. The three heads are capable of five different movements at a time and adapt to the facial contours, including tricky areas like the neck and jawline. Additionally, the shaver comes with a click-on trimmer for moustache and sideburn trimming (you may not want him to grow one, but if he’s going to do it, it may as well be tidy).

It’s a common misconception that “gentlemen of a certain age” don’t care about their skin — they have to show up at zoom meetings and stare at themselves just like the rest of us. However, they can have difficulty sticking to a skincare routine, so it’s best to make it simple and fun. The L’Oréal Paris, Men Expert, Hydra Energetic Cool Eye Roll-On (currently $7.17, usually $15.95) is an impressively effective product that checks the “simple” and “fun” boxes.

Like a cup of coffee for the eyes, the roller ball serum works instantly and over time to firm the under eyes. The icy cool rollerball acts as an instant vasoconstrictor, tightening the under-eye area. Then caffeine gets to work, increasing blood flow and lifting the eye contours. Meanwhile, vitamin C will work long-term to increase collagen production. Dad should see a decrease in fine lines and sagging.

Time for your dad to take his grooming game to the next level? Consider a cologne. Sure, you may not like to think of your dad as “sensually masculine”, but that’s exactly what this cologne is. Boss Bottled by Hugo Boss (currently $44.41, usually $135) has been a best-seller for the brand since 1998 because it strikes the perfect accord of fresh, woody and a little bit spicy. With energising green notes like apple, oakmoss and plum, Boss Bottled dries down to musky sandalwood, cedar and vetiver harmony.

This is a self-care product that’s fun for the whole family — just give it to Dad first. The RENPHO C3 Massage Gun (currently $99.99, usually $169.98) is perfect for dads who have become Fitbit fanatics in later life. The Renpho addresses sore, tired muscles with 3200 rate-per-minute “percussion force” to loosen up muscles in the arms, shoulders, lower back, neck and calves. With six massage heads and 20 different speeds, this is a self-care tool that can be tailored to your personal needs.

Another brilliant self-care tool from Renpho. The Eye Massager (currently $62.97, usually $109.99) takes inspiration from acupuncture. It applies heat and vibration to relieve tension headaches and eye strain, and promote relaxation and quality sleep. The eye massager also comes with built-in Bluetooth functionality, so your dad can pop on a playlist, some ocean sounds or even a podcast while he decompresses. If Dad’s a frequent flyer, the eye massager is portable enough to pop in his carry-on and use in flight.

Note: The eye massager is not recommended for people who suffer from cataracts, have undergone eye surgery or have retina conditions.

Our teeth are with us for life, which is why they need more support as we get older. Cavities and receding gums are more common as we age, whether from wear and tear, or genetic factors. Either way, depending on his age, your dad might want to up his toothbrush game. The Philips Sonicare, Diamond 9000 Clean Brush Kit (currently $259, usually $379) has everything you need to get a blinding white smile — and spend less time in the dentist’s chair. Sonicare removes ten times the plaque of normal toothbrushes and has a built-in pressure sensor to protect gum health, while smart sensors warn you when you’re brushing too hard or have missed a spot. This kit also comes with a smart charging glass, and a sleek, chargeable case (for discrete deskside battery top-ups).

Sure, you might have an 11-step K-Beauty routine and cringe at the notion of a 3-in-1 product. But, sometimes you can’t teach an old dog new tricks and L’Oréal Paris’ five-star rated Barber Club, 3-in-1  Beard, Face and Hair Cleansing Wash for Men (currently $10.64, usually $19.95) is a great option for these fellas.

With a balmy consistency and a rich, cedar wood scent, Barber Club gives the face, scalp and beard a deep, balancing cleanse without stripping. A casual 1,521 Amazon Reviewers praise Barber Club’s scent, cleansing abilities and soothing post-shave properties. Indeed, one gent said his girlfriend loves the scent so much it’s been a “relationship saver”. We can’t make any promises, but this is a solid win for the blokes.

This could be a genuine relationship saver if your dad’s partner is always getting their clippers stolen; now is the time to get him a kit of his own. Familife, Manicure Set (currently $26.38, usually $33.98) is a chic, quality option for the dad who likes to keep his fingers clean. The stainless steel kit comes with a nail file, fingernail clippers, toenail clippers, cuticle clippers, nail and cuticle pushers, tweezers and a v-shaped cuticle trimmer.

The kit covers facial, nail and toenail grooming, and it comes in a sleek, portable pouch.

Bulldog’s Beardcare Original Beard Oil (currently $9.99, usually $13.50)  is perfect for post-shave. It contains soothing aloe vera, cameline oil and green tea to soften, condition and nourish the beard and skin.
