Father’s Day can mean a lot of things for a lot of people: a struggle, a joyous occasion, or just a regular day. (It can also mean a lot of wildly inappropriate Daddy jokes.) (Mom, if you’re reading this, I’m sorry but I’m sticking to the joke.) I’m in France right now, but I shot a quick photo of some of my favourite Father’s Day picks of 2018 before I left – including the We-Vibe Pivot.
These picks aren’t restricted to men, and they’re not going to work for every man. Instead, they’re things that men in my life have enjoyed at some point.
Face stuff for Father’s Day
My first two Father’s Day picks are ones that Tuna’s dad loves: the Neutrogena Men Invigorating Face Wash ($4.99 USD) and Johnny’s Chop Shop’s Beard Oil ($12.99 CAD). They’re great for two reasons; the first being that they’re the perfect combination of scented face wash + scent-free beard oil, and the second being that they’re really affordable.
(All the better to spill you with, my dear.)
Father’s Day picks for the aesthete
I’m not cool enough to wear the BERING Automatic 43mm Men’s Analog Casual Watch ($448.99 CAD), but I hope to one day be. (Can you imagine if I was so jacked that I could comfortably fit that band around my wrist??? One can dream.) I covered this water resistant, self-winding, 316L medical-grade steel b e a u t y at the Best Buy plug-in blog, so hop over there for more.
I am, on the other hand, just barely cool enough for the Libertine Fragrance Palo Santo Incense Cones ($40 CAD). I bought these last Christmas for a partner, burned one, and kept them for myself. This palo santo isn’t quite what I expected – it’s smokier and sweeter than most incense, with the sticky undertones of palo santo wood. The scent is fascinating, but I’d recommend it more for someone who loves fragrance than someone with twelve unscented candles and an entire bucket of nag champa incense sticks in their apartment.
(Although I don’t know that for certain. People can surprise you, especially when they don’t really care how things smell.)
A hat tip to the We-Vibe Pivot
The We-Vibe Pivot (at We-Vibe/$103.55 USD at SheVibe/$113 CAD at Come As You Are) was, in all honesty, probably the only reason why this post ever came together. It’s something I tried earlier this year, and as soon as I tried it, I knew I wanted to feature it in a gift guide. Consider it an object to keep in mind less for your own father and more of a gift for any father, friend, or partner in your life who you think might enjoy it. (AKA the future hot dad crew.)
Some fathers have penises. Some penis-havers struggle somewhat more with said organs under things like stress, tiredness, and age. The We-Vibe Pivot lends a helping hand for those who do. It’s stretchy, rumbly, and rechargeable, with a gorgeous, app-controlled, silicone design. It’s not as strong as the We-Vibe Tango, but it has a similar whirr; smooth and not at all buzzy.
I know it’s an unusual Father’s Day gift, but it’s a fun one to add to your life – if applicable. The We-Vibe Pivot is a Father’s Day gift for the modern age: one for a DILF in the making, your best friend who knows exactly which gag gifts really aren’t gags, or your partner who is as much a parent to your fur baby as you are.
(For a similarly super-stretchy experience without the vibrator, try the Tantus Super Soft Silicone C-Ring.)
