10 Gift Ideas to Celebrate Super Dads (and Dads-to-be)

There are the quiet dads, the chatty ones, the cuddly, the clumsy, the champions of power naps or bad jokes. The ones who improvise, who plan everything, who have doubts, who love it all, and those who do it all at once. For them, we’ve put together a list of thoughtful, cool gifts—designed simply to bring them joy (and remind them how much they’re loved).

No need to go overboard to make an impact. The Su-Père T-shirt by Tajinebanane is a simple, easy-to-wear piece with a great fit and a subtle message—it’s the kind of gift you throw on without thinking, and it always hits the mark. The Su-Père slogan over the heart becomes a little daily mantra, a way to say “we see you” without overdoing it.

It’s the kind of object that often lingers on the corner of the table—but somehow always becomes a favorite. A Jean-André illustrated cup is part small artwork, part witty moment, and 100% useful—perfect for morning coffee, water breaks, or breakfast juice. Whether it lives in the kitchen or gets taken to work, it fits seamlessly into any dad’s daily routine.

Whether it’s about learning to whip up new dishes for the whole fam, perfecting his technique, or just having a good time behind the stove, a cooking class is truly a gift to oneself. Giving this to a dad means offering him his own space, away from the noise, where he can create, experiment, mess up (and try again), and above all, enjoy himself. Alone or shared with a loved one—whatever feels right. And of course, bon appétit!

Sometimes, all it takes is a little nudge to finally take the leap—especially if it’s something he's been talking about for ages! Gifting a discovery session (surfing, ceramics, climbing, dance, mixology, photography, paddleboarding, or even urban gardening) is like saying: “Go for it, try it, and see if it’s your thing.” A breath of fresh air in an often-packed schedule—a moment just for him.

No need for an overflowing grooming kit to take care of yourself. Horace products check all the boxes: clean ingredients, subtle scents, sleek packaging. A moisturizer, a face cleanser, a body wash that smells great (but not too much)—and in just two minutes flat, he’s got himself a new morning (or evening) ritual that makes a real difference. A simple yet thoughtful gift.

We take a lot of photos every day—but how many actually get printed or framed? Gifting a proper photo shoot (with a pro or carefully planned at home) means creating meaningful memories and capturing moments that pass by too quickly. No need to know how to pose—the goal is to catch the looks, the gestures, the laughter. And to keep a little piece of it forever.

The perfect gift to wind down and enjoy a little moment of indulgence. Whether it’s packed with artisanal cheeses, spreads, crackers, and a bottle of good wine—or a craft soda or alcohol-free option—it’s a treat that brings instant joy. Ideal for a solo evening, a date night, or a laid-back gathering with friends. Cheers! 🥂

There are gifts we use every day without really thinking about them, but that we appreciate for their comfort or look. A bucket hat for outdoor weekends, cozy socks to keep feet warm, a belt bag to carry essentials without losing style, a sturdy bag for family outings… In short, so many items that accompany his life as a man and dad, without ever weighing him down.

A novel to break away from everyday life, a comic book or graphic novel that takes you on a journey, a collection of texts about fatherhood, or even an essay that questions the world… A good book is a little bubble to escape into whenever there’s five minutes to spare, and one you can close without guilt. Gift it with a homemade bookmark or a personal dedication to make it truly special.

Et si on offrait à papa un moment rien que pour lui ? Une soirée dans une salle de concert, un one-man-show, une pièce de théâtre, une comédie musicale… Quel que soit son univers, c’est l’occasion de sortir de la routine, de profiter, de (re)découvrir des artistes. Et si le cadeau est à vivre en bonne compagnie : c’est encore mieux.

-

Bref, ce qui compte, c’est l’attention, le petit clin d’œil, l’envie de marquer le coup. Et si le cadeau fait sourire, se détendre ou s’évader un instant… alors c’est réussi.
On vous laisse piocher dans notre sélection Fête des Pères pour trouver celui qui fera son effet.
