Fulton & Roarke Solid Cologne
Cologne is a traditional Father’s Day gift, but here’s a new and much-improved idea. These solid, wax-based fragrances are easy to use and will never spill or dry up. A wide variety of scents guarantees that you can find one that he and Mom will love.

Chainsaws, lawnmowers, and electric saws can lead to hearing loss, making this hearing protection a thoughtful gift. It blocks loud noise while amplifying soft sounds, such as Mom calling him to do the dishes, and connects to phones via Bluetooth so he can take calls and listen to music while working.

A Wedding Band He Would Choose

A wedding band is more than jewelry; it’s a statement of faith. Manly Bands’s vast collection uses “manly” materials from tungsten to real dinosaur bone. Size exchanges are easy, and each band also comes with a silicone ring for Dad to swap in when he’s operating power tools.

Invented by Henrik Thor-Larsen way back in 1968, this unique chair creates a timeless, compact man cave. The innovative design influenced by a DC-3 provides privacy while Dad relaxes on the soft leather upholstery. Seen in the movie “Men in Black,” it’s perhaps the ultimate man chair.

Whether Dad’s a BBQ king or a wanna-be prepper, he’ll enjoy this innovative system powered by nature. It can bake, boil, or fry a meal for eight to perfection by harnessing the sun’s rays. Rainy day? No problem—it can also be powered by the included 12V adapter.

Dad can chart his own course with this pen, and its concealed mini magnetic compass. Shaped like a mariner’s telescope, it’s the first wayfinding complication ever incorporated on a Montegrappa writing instrument. It'll keep him happily occupied during even the dullest meetings.

What dad wouldn’t want his own submarine? The perfect gift for the hard-to-please guy comfortably allows him and two passengers to explore depths of up to 300 meters for up to eight hours. The forward bubble and fighter-jet style seating ensure comfort and an unimpeded view of the wonders below the surface.
