Best Father's Day Gifts New Zealand.
1. American Crew Beard Serum, $38
Is your father figure's beard looking a little...unruly?
The American Crew Beard Serum might just be what he needs.
This oil-based beard serum works to instantly condition and nourish the beard as well as help to keep it soft and shiny.
Let's be real, this is also a needed gift (read: reprieve) for mum too.
American Crew Beard Serum review:
Hubby loves this beard serum he says it has promoted more growth and his beard is more manageable. - AB customer Natalie.
I bought this product for my partner as his beard is always so scratchy. He absolutely loved this product and his beard now has that extra glow and feels super smooth. - AB customer Kat.
2. Therabody Theragun Relief, $229
I don't know about you, but I've definitely seen my brother forcefully discussing and testing his favourite recovery tools on my dad, and although my dad showed zero interest at the start, the end of the conversation went like this: Wait, can you come over once a week and massage me with that?
Enough said.
The Theragun Mini 3.0 is perfect for the father figure who needs a compact, portable percussion massager he can toss in a gym bag or the car for recovery on the go.
Or even better? The Therabody Theragun Relief massage tool for the father figures who desperately need a daily, soothing massage - a great way to give them something to look forward to every day after a hard day at work.
3. Kerastase Homme Haircare
Male pattern baldness and hair loss are incredibly common among men over 50, but the right products can go a long way in helping Dad maintain a fuller, stronger head of hair.
Enter Kerastase.
Known for their incredibly high-performance haircare, Kerastase have formulated a range tailored specifically for men's hair loss. If that doesn't scream best presents for dad, we don't know what does. Don't dads love a solution?
The Genesis Homme collection is the brand's first dual-action anti-fall line for weakened hair prone to thinning, combining style with serious science.
Infused with Creatine to fortify each strand from within, and invigorating Ginger Root Extract to refresh the scalp and boost strength, it's a grooming upgrade that also delivers a little confidence boost, too.
Adore Beauty's own Head of Retail Marketing did a Kerastase Homme review, read his honest thoughts on the range here.
It's the shower routine upgrade he didn't even know he needed.
Kerastase Homme Shampoo review:
I purchased this shampoo for my partner who noticed his hair was thinning. It has strengthened his hair and his scalp is much healthier. - AB customer Mags.
Bought this for my dad and his hair condition has improved, the scent is pretty nice too. - AB customer Milly.
4. Clinique For Men Face Scrub, $65
Help buff away dullness and built-up grime without stripping his skin with this no-fuss daily scrub.
Clinique For Men Face Scrub is designed to slough away dead surface cells and clear pores, leaving skin looking brighter and feeling smoother, without the harsh, over-scrubbed feeling some men's exfoliators can leave behind.
It's an easy, no-frills addition to his existing shower routine, making it ideal even for dads who aren't big on multi-step skincare.
5. Redken Scalp Relief Dandruff Control Shampoo, $50
Speaking of hair woes our father figures would probably prefer to avoid talking about - ahem, flakey scalps.
It's time to turn to Redken.
Redken Scalp Relief Dandruff Control Shampoo is formulated to target flakes and scalp irritation with regular use, without the fancy schmancy fluff that can sometimes deter our father figures from giving a damn about their scalp health.
Plus, if your father figure doesn't want to use anything fancy, but still wants something that he'll enjoy using, this is the no-nonsense haircare for men he will appreciate.
It slots straight into his existing shower routine with no extra steps, giving your father figure that cooling, revitalised feeling we know he secretly loves just like the rest of us.
No intimidating routines or overly fancy bottles here, just a simple, effective formula that gets the job done.
6. ECOYA Mandarin & Gin Car Diffuser Refill, $19.95
Raise your hand if, as a kid, you ever dropped a rogue Macca's patty, muddy football socks or some other mystery mess in Dad's car and he just had to cop it?
For the father figures who treat their vehicles like prized possessions, consider upgrading their ride with a sleek, elevated car diffuser to say thank you and sorry for those nostalgic days.
Perfect for scent enthusiast dads who like to keep their vehicles crisp, clean and smelling fresh all the time.
Our top pick? The zesty, invigorating notes of mandarin and gin.
