This is a tradition that I started for myself while I was in the army but basically all of my closest friends have these knives as well as all the officers that served on my team while I was in command. They still talk about getting them whenever I catch up with them and they still have it. don’t just get any type of knife. Wood handle makes it feel premium, silver blade makes it look durable. Don’t get the Demarcus blades they’re all fake anyways. Try and pick a timeless design. whenever I gifted them I always say, “I know you would have my back in any fight, now you have something to bring”

For the really special friends in my life I’ll get them watches. People think watches are super expensive and you can’t gift a watch unless it’s a Rolex or something. If you get an automatic silver watch you are giving someone something that they can wear every day of their life without breaking the bank. it’s my way of saying thank you for the time they’ve spent with me in my life. The best watches aren’t the most expensive or rare ones - they’re the ones tied to a memory, a time in their lives and comes from a friend

Dads love up-close bird watching
I gave this exact video bird feeder to my dad as a retirement gift two years ago, and the app’s daily roundup of visited birds at the feeder notification is one of the 5 that he religiously looks forward to. might be a good gift for your 70+ mom/dad once he’s back from his travels to dive into :)

We got my dad this trail cam a couple years ago, and it's been a value add to the family group chat. He doesn't hunt anymore (also 70 and "slowing down") but loves to check in with what's going on out there.

I got my dad this leather jacket from quince for his 70th birthday. My dad is a classic “no gifts” and “what the hell did you get me this for?” He’s never owned anything like it before, but he looks so cool in it and loves it! This might be good for a trip out west, or maybe he would like a different type of jacket more his birding/ LL bean vibe (Suede? Barn jacket?) idk you can never have too many jackets!

Dads love a good dopp (possibly, they'd prefer one sans customization--but if you're like me you'll do that anyway.)

this thing is so cool - it’s a sleek flask that holds a full size bottle of wine (750 mL), or any beverage of your choice, and keeps it temperature controlled for 24 hours. Best part are the magnetic glasses attached on either side so you don’t have to schlep a ton of gadgets with you to enjoy a bevvy on the go. The packaging is *beautiful* and so well designed. I have the grey color & love it. (My link will get you 15% off!)
Ettinger London Handmade Capra 8oz Hunter Flask with 4 Cups
In the right setting a flask with cups feels like the most civilized thing on Earth. Personalize as needed.

for a man???
Crosby Moc-Toe Chukka Boot Tobacco Suede
My husband has left cool in his dust in the search for comfort, shoe wise, and now walks the house in lilac Hoka slides. I hear these are comfy and they look bearable! Pricey but what isn't these days...I am making the assumption they're built to last.

Step back into the greatest childhood decade of all time. This handheld is inspired by a gameboy color and can run thousands of retro games with a simple sd card set up. Seriously what’s better than training a Pokémon squad à la 1998?

Johnny Slim - Tobacco (Loyal Stricklin)
My husband is on his second Johnny wallet from Loyal Stricklin, and his first one lasted nearly 10 years. This wallet has no stitching, which makes it last longer. It’s also nice and compact! This is made by a small brand founded by someone I went to high school with, and all of their products are Made in USA. Their menswear is very nice, too!

(if he still has hair) a monogrammed comb from Officine Universelle Buly
Bought one for my husband and it’s beautiful and sturdy
Father’s day is coming up. I switched to one of these years ago and never turned back. No subscriptions, no plastic and a very good clean shave. I’ll post another rec for a place I found that has fabulous shave creams. I use a brush to foam and it feels a little luxurious every time.

I really love this vest. It's got smaller baffles so it's not quite as thick as some other puffy vests like the Nuptse. But still is super warm. It's great for layering or wearing over a hoodie if the weather is mild day to day. Simple, clean, warm. Im wearing this thing daily right now and is a great gift idea!
Kessler Large Duffle (Leatherology Black Onyx)

Give your dad who doesn’t need any more Things the gift of a new activity, like Chess Club
I realized a few years ago that my dad has developed some serious hoarding tendencies. He even has literal drawersful of cards that people sent him for various holidays that are just signed, with nothing personal written inside. So I am constantly trying to think of immaterial gifts for him. I tried to get him a story worth subscription, but it was too much work and I think he only responded twice. The biggest hit so far has been a scavenger hunt that ended at the library, specifically to a book about chess. I had him bring the book to the front circulation desk. I’d pre-asked the librarian to tell him about their chess club date and time. He ended up going weekly for a year and made a lot of new friends. He still talks about what a cool “gift” it was.
