Father’s Day Gift Guide: Intentional Picks for the Dads in Your Life

For the men who hold it down – whether they’re flipping pancakes, leading by example, coaching from the sideline, or rallying the kids to the beach. They deserve gifts that reflect how much we see them.

As a functional nutritionist, I’m always looking through a lens of well-being, quality, and longevity – and that naturally plays into how I give. Every gift on this list is something I’d actually buy for my own husband. They’re a mix of intentional, functional, and a little bit fun for the guys who make our families go.

Surf-Ready + Sun-Approved

For Chris, the beach is his happy place — his reset button and the place where he feels most like himself. It’s no surprise that it inspired many of the gifts on this list. These picks are perfect for the dad who finds joy (and a little saltwater therapy) in every tide.

1. RinseKit Cube – 4 Gallon: For the beach dad, the trail dad, the garden dad. This portable, pressurized shower is a game-changer. Rinse sandy feet, dirty gear, or even the dog – no plumbing needed. We keep ours in the car all summer.
   
2. LA Sol Sunscreen (use code BEWELLxLASOL): Clean, reef-safe, non-toxic sun protection. A win for his skin and the planet.
3. Surf Wax: Simple, practical, and a loving nod to the lifestyle he loves. Add it to a beach-themed bundle – pair it with a new beach towel, sunnies, or some slides. 
4. Minnow Men’s Boardies (use code MEETMINNOW15): For dads who love to match their littles – or simply appreciate minimalist beachwear with a great fit. High quality, comfortable, and his new favorite.
5. Yeti Cooler: Because everything’s better cold – especially when you’re out adventuring. Built to last and easy on the eyes.
6. Bungee Cords: Because every dad becomes the master of strapping things down. Upgrade his stash with strong, sleek cords for securing everything from surf boards to ski supplies.

Strong Dad Starter Pack

When it comes to supporting the men we love, sometimes the best gifts aren’t just what they wear or use — it’s what helps them feel their best from the inside out. As a functional nutritionist, I’m a big believer that daily habits are what shape long-term health. And supplements, when chosen wisely, can make a huge difference. Whether he’s chasing gains in the gym, managing stress, building a family, or just trying to stay energized through long days, these are the foundational tools I trust most. This stack is all about real nourishment, clean ingredients, and smart support for the way he moves through life — with purpose, presence, and power.

1. Be Well Creatine + Be Well Essential Amino Acids: Whether to power up his workouts or his dad jokes, Be Well Creatine is the new gold standard in supplementation – clean, effective, and seriously strong. Paired with Be Well Essential Aminos to support lean muscle, brain health, and recovery, it’s the perfect gift for the guy who’s interested in boosting his brain or going for gains.
2. WeNatal for Him: It’s not just about women – men’s preconception health matters too. Whether you're trying to conceive or just optimizing long-term vitality, this supplement supports male fertility and hormone balance in a meaningful way. And with my link, receive a FREE 30-day supply of WeNatal’s Omega DHA+ fish oil ($34.95 value) with purchase of any prenatal subscription.
3. Be Well Protein Powder: Give dad the fuel he needs to take on whatever his day holds with Be Well Protein Powder – clean, minimal, and easy to assimilate. It’s his easiest move for staying powered up, whether he's hitting the gym, the grill, or the soccer fields.
4. Homemade BBQ Rub + Stainless Steel BBQ Grill Set + Backyard Grill: Pair a quality grilling tool set with your own homemade rub. Wrap it in linen, tie it with twine – boom, done! Going for gold? Upgrade his grill for less dishes, easier protein, and endless eating en plein air. 
5. Be Well Essentials Magnesium: Chris’s nightly staple. This powerhouse supports deeper sleep, smoother digestion, muscle recovery, and stress relief — all in one clean, effective formula.
   
6. Butcher Box or Force of Nature Meats (use code KELLY15): Grass-fed, regeneratively sourced, high-quality proteins delivered to the door. Fewer grocery runs, better meals, and aligned with wellness values.

Head to Toe Style + Self-Care

Whether he’s hitting the gym, chasing the kids, or heading out for coffee post-surf, the right gear makes all the difference. These athleisure picks are functional, comfortable, and stylish — made for movement, but equally at home on the couch or by the grill. It’s everything your on-the-go guy needs to look good, feel good, and smell like he has it all together — without overthinking it.

1. By Parra Water Wave Sweatshirt: Art-forward, comfort-driven. For the dad with good taste who appreciates a cool, cozy layer.
2. Vuori Kore Shorts: Performance meets comfort. Whether he’s working out, lounging, or chasing kids, these are the MVP of athletic wear. Lightweight, quick-drying, and intentionally designed.
3. A Great Hat + Socks: The underrated essentials he probably needs. Choose a hat that’s neutral, breathable, and built to last — perfect for sun, style, or both. Pair it with ultra-cushy, moisture-wicking socks that add comfort and just the right amount of pep to his step.
   
4. Hume Natural Deodorant (Use code KELLYPODCAST): No aluminum, no toxins, no fake fragrance. It works, it lasts, and it smells like the outdoors (in the best way). Amber woods is a favorite for him. 
   
5. OS-01 HAIR: Let’s be honest — Dad probably lost a few hairs because of you. It’s only fair you help him get some back. This science-backed serum supports healthier, fuller hair (and maybe even his confidence). Think of it as a small apology… wrapped in a really good gift. Bonus: Use code BEWELL20 to get 20% off your first purchase, now through 6/16 — just in time for Father’s Day.
6. The 5 Types of Wealth: A thoughtful, paradigm-shifting read about what it really means to be “wealthy.” A good match for the deep dad who cares about leaving a successful legacy in all areas of his life. PS, did you catch me on the Be Well Podcast with the author, Sahil Bloom? It’s one of my favorite episodes.

Gifting with Intention

The best gifts aren’t always the flashiest. They’re the ones that say, I see you, I got you, and I appreciate the way you show up for us.

Father’s Day is a beautiful opportunity to honor the men we love with things that last – and maybe inspire them to slow down, fuel better, play harder, or just feel more appreciated.

Happy Father’s Day to all the great guys out there!
