The Best Luxury Father's Day Gift Ideas Global News HQ

We’ll admit it: Of all the holidays on the calendar, Father’s Day is the one that stumps us the most. Even when budget is no object, once you’ve splurged on golf clubs and upgraded the barbecue grill set, the inspiration runs dry.

And that hardly seems fair to the fathers of the world. For every time they’ve taken out the trash, rescued a doomed DIY attempt or pretended not to notice the car scratch, surely they deserve a little luxury in return? The strong-and-silent patriarchs might not say it, but trust us: they all enjoy being spoiled.

That’s where Elite Traveler comes in – consider this your definitive luxury Father’s Day guide to treating him in style.

Whether it’s a stylish accessory that elevates his everyday look or a gadget that makes life a touch smoother, we’ve rounded up the best luxury gifts for every kind of dad – from the style icon to the technophile, the whiskey connoisseur to the wellness devotee.

Richard Anderson, Bespoke tie

If you’ve spent every Father’s Day searching for just the thing, only to come up short, here’s a thought: why not have it made? From selecting the silk (paisley, geometric, abstract – your pick) to choosing the perfect width and length, Richard Anderson’s bespoke tie service puts Savile Row savoir-faire front and center. Hand-finished in Kent, labeled in London, and discreetly signed with his name and date, it’s a gift that’s, quite literally, tailored for him.
Brunello Cucinelli, Padel backpack

Like the rest of the world, your dad decided this was the year to master padel. And while his backhand may still need work, his courtside style doesn’t have to suffer. Enter Brunello Cucinelli’s padel backpack. Crafted from buttery-soft leather and high-performance technical fabric, it’s equal parts function and finesse. Sleek, durable and effortlessly elegant, it’s a full-blown serve before he even steps on court.
Connolly, Red calf cashmere socks

Okay, okay – before you roll your eyes and write off this guide, hear us out: socks can be a classy, welcome luxury Father’s Day gift… when they’re the right socks. And Connolly’s are exactly that. Made in Italy from ultra-soft cashmere and available in a rainbow of cheerful hues, these are the kind of socks that get slipped on before the wrapping paper even hits the floor.
Berluti, New Oslo venezia leather penny loafers

For the dad whose dress shoes should work as hard as he does, Berluti’s New Oslo’s style is a modern twist on the classic penny loafer. Set on chunky lug soles and finished in the house’s signature Venezia leather (buffed to a rich patina), Berluti has swapped stiff formality for all-day ease. This is timeless Italian craftsmanship with just enough edge to keep up with city life.
Bottega Veneta, Intrecciato leather weekender

Nothing says “elevated escape” quite like Bottega Veneta’s signature Intrecciato leather. This is the kind of bag that turns a two-night getaway into a style statement. Sleek but spacious, it features an adjustable crossbody strap, elegant top handles and an interior zip pocket to keep him organized.
Bode, Custom senior cord jacket

Sure, it may look like something a Brooklyn dad wears to the farmers’ market – but that’s the beauty of Bode. Their bespoke Senior Cord jacket can be made for any father, whether he’s into fly-fishing, philosophy, or, yes, first pressings of The Velvet Underground. Once purchased, you’ll fill out pages of personal questionnaires so Bode’s studio team knows his interests inside out – then they, quite literally, put them on the outside. Hand-illustrated on British corduroy and crafted in New York, it’s a one-of-a-kind gift for a one-of-a-kind guy.
Hermès, Ajoures colores shirt

Even dads appreciate a bright orange, ribbon-clad box on Father’s Day. This short-sleeve cotton shirt from Hermès hits all the right notes: contrast detailing at the collar and hem, mother-of-pearl buttons and razor-sharp construction. It’s a wardrobe staple – perfect for the father who knows the power of good tailoring, and even better branding.
Worland, ‘Last Frontier’ spectacles

These 1950s-inspired square frames combine sleek titanium rims engraved with Chimayo textile motifs and a striking acetate top bar, topped off with sculptural arrowhead temples in 18K gold or sterling silver, and each adorned with turquoise inlays and thunderbird medallions. Limited to just 200 pieces, these glasses are a rare blend of heritage with a stylish modern edge.
Loro Piana, Summer walk loafer

Forget Loro Piana’s signature soft cashmere, these loafers introduce a tougher twist. Crafted in nubuck-finish alligator leather, with a discreet heel space for personalization, they lend a textured, reptilian edge to the classic silhouette.
Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams, Clasp bracelet in gold with diamonds

Music lovers, fans of the finer things and those with a sea-god complex: we’ve got just the indulgent present. Inspired by Poseidon’s trident and finished with Pharrell’s signature swagger, this isn’t your average dad bracelet. Angular 18k gold links conceal a seamless clasp, while fishtail-set pavé diamonds catch the light from every angle. Bold, sculptural and quietly mythic, it says: sure, he’s a dad – but he’s still got edge.
Dior, Cannage brooch

Dior’s Cannage brooch takes its cues from the house’s signature stitching and Monsieur Dior’s lifelong love of gardens. With a silver-finished blooming structure, it has deconstructed petals and a white crystal center. Pin it to a blazer, lapel or even a golf cap – it’s the final flourish he didn’t know he needed.
Girard Perregaux, Deep Diver

First released in 1969, Girard-Perregaux’s Deep Diver merged bold design with the revolutionary Gyromatic system. Designed in partnership with Bamford, this modern version honours the original with a date window and a rotating inner bezel. But it also has modern innovations, such as a luminous material that makes the hands and hour markers glow in low light. Perfect for those with a well-developed passion for horology, this watch is limited to just 350 pieces worldwide.
Patek Philippe, Calatrava 6196P

As waiting lists for the Aquanaut and Nautilus show no sign of abating, more and more are turning to Patek Philippe’s most beautiful watch – the Calatrava. This understated dress watch continues to set the benchmark in elegance, and the new 6196P reference is one of the best. This platinum watch is the perfect example of timeless elegance. Its sleek opaline rose-gilt dial gives it a distinct vintage feel, further enhanced by a shiny chocolate brown alligator leather strap.
Vacheron Constantin, Overseas Grand Complication Openface

Vacheron Constantin has already had a remarkable 2025, first with its release of the Historiques 222 stainless steel before revealing the most complicated wristwatch ever made at Watches & Wonders. This latest landmark is the brand’s first-ever inclusion of a minute repeater in the Overseas line. That is in addition to the tourbillon and perpetual calendar that it already has, making it one of the most sophisticated sports watches in the world. A timepiece for the maximalist, this is available directly from Vacheron Constantin, price on request.
Parmigiani Fleurier, Toric Quantième Perpétuel

In stark contrast to Vacheron Constantin, this perpetual calendar from Parmigiani Fleurier is notable for its minimalism. An elegant take on the perpetual calendar, this watch is for the understated dads among us (although there is nothing understated about the price). This sleek Toric displays the day, date, month, moon phase and leap year in two cleverly designed sub-registers. The watch is available in gold and platinum, but both are limited to just 50 pieces. The hand-grained dials come in powder blue (platinum) and rose gold (gold).
Pinel et Pinel, Up & down case

Serious watch collectors should also be serious about winding them. This six-piece suitcase from Pinel et Pinel will keep you watches on time with a built-in winding system, which a secure fastener that makes it safe for transportation.
Rimowa, Watch case

It’s all well and good having a great watch collection, but how do you take it with you? This sleek watch case from Rimowa keeps your precious timepieces safe on the move. Crafted from the same high-grade aluminium as its iconic suitcases, this Rimowa watch case is designed to slip into your check-in bag.
Leica, M11-P Safari

Whether he fancies himself the next Annie Leibovitz or still can’t keep his fingers off the iPhone lens, this is the camera upgrade the family portraits deserve. Leica’s Safari editions have been coveted since the ’70s – roughly the same amount of time he’s spent trying to remember the difference between aperture and exposure. The latest iteration arrives in a safari-ready olive green with sleek silver accents, ready to elevate everything from holiday snaps to those group shots that still resurface in your Facebook memories.
KEF, Mu7 wireless headphones

The ultimate Father’s Day gift? Peace and quiet. Whether he’s dodging screaming toddlers, bickering teenagers or just craving a moment to himself to hear his own thoughts, KEF’s Mu7 Noise Cancelling Over-ear Headphones deliver sweet, uninterrupted escape. With exceptional sound quality and intuitive touch controls, he can finally lose himself in the music, instead of drowning in everyone else’s noise.
Bang & Olufsen, Beosound A1 3rd gen waterproof Bluetooth speaker

For beach days, boat trips, backyard barbecues or just belting out his favorite playlist in the shower, this sleek little speaker more than delivers. It’s fully waterproof, built to handle bumps, and offers surprisingly mighty 360-degree sound with extra punch in the bass. With a 27-hour-long battery life, it’ll outlast the day (and probably the party, too).
Gozney, Dome outdoor pizza oven

He’s conquered the grill. Now its time to seriously up the backyard game. The Gozney Dome is the Ferrari of outdoor pizza ovens – reaching 950ºF to cook Neapolitan-style pies in just 60 seconds. Designed for both beginners and seasoned dough-slingers, it switches effortlessly between wood fire and gas flame, holds its heat like a pro, and looks seriously slick while doing it.
Assouline, ‘The Impossible Collection of Champagne’ hardcover book

Any collector of the finest bottles should probably know a thing or two about them. This hand-bound volume from Assouline is a masterclass in fizz, curated by world-renowned sommelier Enrico Bernardo. Inside, there are anecdotes, reviews and insider tips on the most exceptional champagnes of the past 300 years, all wrapped up in a wooden display case worthy of the best vintage.
Lorenzi Milano, Bamboo, leather and stainless steel travel bbq set

Yes, it might be a cliche, but we couldn’t resist including a set of grill tools without good reason. This elevated kit from Lorenzi Milano swaps flimsy tongs for hand-carved bamboo handles, full-grain leather, and stainless steel. It includes two spatulas, a prong, and a brush, all tucked neatly into a travel sleeve. Because nothing says a perfect Father’s Day gift like a seriously good set of tools.
Berluti, Leather and metal ashtray

Where you ash your cigar should look just as sharp as the smoke itself. Crafted from stacked and patinated leather with a removable brass insert, Berluti’s ashtray is a polished perch for cigars of all sizes – from celebratory Churchills to daily dad smokes. Finished with the house’s signature heel sole (studs and all), it’s as much a design piece as it is a smoking essential.
Ralph Lauren Home, 888 Mahjong game set

What better gift than the sweet taste of victory – and a hefty boost to the ego while he’s at it? Assuming your dad has already mastered chess and maxed out the crossword, it’s time for a new challenge. Inspired by the sleek glamour of penthouse living, this Ralph Lauren mahjong set features cherry wood tiles backed in leather, all neatly packed into a lacquered leather-and-metal case. Inside, you’ll find everything needed for the ultimate game night: dice, push sticks, betting coins and, of course, incoming bragging rights.
Pinel et Pinel, Mini plywood, cedar and palladium cigar column

When you’ve spent a lifetime building a collection of smokes, they deserve to be shown off in style. Pinel et Pinel’s ‘Mini’ column has been proudly crafted in France from plywood, cedar and palladium, with a total interior sized to house 120 cigars at ideal humidity.
Johnnie Walker Vault Experience

When it comes to collecting whisky, rarity is key. And nothing is as rare as a one of one. That is what the Johnnie Walker Vault experience offers: the chance to co-create your own bottle of Scotch whisky with the brand’s master blender Dr Emma Walker. The experience of a lifetime for any Scotch whisky drinker, you’ll travel to Scotland to meet Dr Walker in a secret subterranean room filled with rare malts. Here, she’ll listen to your preferences before helping to create your perfect whisky. It’s then bottled up in a crystal decanter and delivered to your door.
Last Drop Distillers, 27 Year Old Bourbon

Too old for a bourbon? Ordinarily, yes, but this 27 Year Old is no ordinary bourbon. It was aged in Buffalo Trace’s innovative Warehouse P, where climatic conditions are tightly controlled to slow the normal ageing process down. The result is an absolute gem of a whiskey, full of vanilla, caramel and just the right level of oak tannins. All packaged up in Last Drop’s beautiful decanters, this would be a centerpiece in any bourbon collection.
Littlemill, Echoes of the Past Release Number One

This 34-year-old Scotch forms the first in a four-part series, so, assuming it’s well received, you could have an easy Father’s Day gift every year until 2028. Coming from one of Scotland’s fabled ‘ghost’ distilleries in Littlemill, this release is limited to just 50 bottles. Why so few? All four releases will be taken from the same Oloroso sherry cask, with each release a year older than the last. Once the series concludes, it’ll reveal the development of the Scotch as it draws more character from the Oloroso cask.

Price

£3,900 (approx. $5,215)
The Macallan, Art is the Flower

Not long ago, you’d be lucky to get your hands on a special release from The Macallan for double its original retail. Those heady days have passed for the time being, and now long-time collectors can pick these up at leisure. This release pays tribute to Charles Rennie Mackintosh and is inspired by his art and poetic prose. This whisky inside is classic Macallan, bursting with raisins, figs, cherries, almonds, orange and treacle.
Clase Azul, Mezcal Guerrero

Mezcal continues to have its moment, and this expression from Clase Azul Mexico is up there with the best. Guerrero is a joven mezcal that is made from 100% Papalote agave, native to the tropical humid climates of southern Mexico. The agave cores are slowly roasted in pits dug by hand and filled with firewood and river stones. This is what gives this mezcal its verdant notes. The liquid itself is crystal clear, although it does bear some light straw-colored highlights. The mezcal has a full body and brings a fresh aroma of grapefruit zest, freshly cut wood, rosemary and toasted peanuts. On the palate, expect seaweed, lemon juice, pepper and even a little tobacco.
Jack Daniels, 10 Year Old Limited Edition

Yes, that’s right, it’s Jack Daniels, the very same bourbon you put in your Coca-Cola in your early 20s, although not quite. In fact, not at all. This limited edition 10 Year Old is a luxury take on the world’s most famous bourbon. Released in limited batches, they’re mighty hard to get hold of. You’ll likely have to pick this up at auction, where they’re currently going for slightly more than RRP. Some seasoned drinkers might turn their nose up at JD, but they’d be missing out. This is a great bourbon, full of butterscotch, soft fruit and wisps of smoke. Leave the mixer behind.
Talisker, The Wild Blue

Scotland is known for its moody weather, and there are few places Mother Nature hits harder than the Isle of Skye. Talisker, one of just two distilleries on the island, is a deeply characterful Scotch whisky, with the salty air and wild seas infused into the casks. This limited release pays homage to Talisker’s wild nature with the whisky finished in South African red wine casks to give it a powerful character filled with maritime smoke, sweet oak spice and sea salt. For every bottle sold, £3 ($4) will go to Blue Marine to fund projects helping to restore vital coastal habitats.
The Lakes Distillery, Signature

The Lakes Distillery has put English whisky on the map, and with its new Signature release, it aims to convert Scotch drinkers for good. Known for its raft of special releases, some of which were great, others not, The Lakes now wants to settle down with a core release that regular drinkers can depend upon. Created by former Macallan whiskymaker Sarah Burgess, Signature offers a luscious sherry-influenced character. It is a wonderful everyday drinker and perfect for flavorsome cocktails. We recommend it as a substitute for cognac in a Sidecar.
Remy Martin X Anish Kapur collaboration

The cognac industry loves a decanter collab, and none more so than Remy Martin. The historic house has partnered with renowned contemporary artist Anish Kapoor, who has reimagined its XO decanter in his signature style. Using the original glass mold, Kapoor designed a decanter as a minimalist curve with a concave center in glowing amber tones. It’s still recognizably Remy Martin XO, and is filled with the same blend we know and love, but with its distinct character.
Wildmoor, 23 Year Old

Wildmoor launched in 2024 with a mission: to elevate blended Scotch whisky with William Grant & Sons’ superior stock. Inspired by Scotland’s ruggedly beautiful landscapes, the Wildmoor Collection comprises seven unique expressions crafted from elusive malt and grain whiskies drawn from the family’s private reserve. The 23 Year Old hits the nail on the head with a blend of malt and grain whiskies, finished in sherry casks. It’s also surprisingly easy on the wallet, particularly for such a big age statement from such a big brand.
Royal Salute, Rio De Janeiro Polo Edition

Copacabana Beach may not be the first place you think of when it comes to a warming dram, but the expert whiskymakers at Royal Salute have altered their blend for this limited edition dedicated to Brazil’s thriving port city. It features a greater concentration of whiskies from Braeval, known for their floral and grassy notes, and more Scotch aged in American Oak casks, which have added vanilla and coconut flavors. That makes it the perfect spirit for tropical cocktails, including a tropical Highland sour – just add a splash of pineapple juice to a classic whisky sour.
Baccarat, Louxor whisky decanter

If you’ve got the kind of father who is rather particular when it comes to his whiskey collection, then this crystal Louxor decanter from Baccarat may be the perfect alternative to a bottle. The decanter’s geometric motifs come alive when whiskey is poured in. The octagonal stopper is engraved with the house’s signature ‘B’, a subtle nod to its superior quality.
Penfolds, Grange

Australia’s most iconic red — and with good reason. Bold, rich, and built to age, Penfolds Grange 2017 is a cellar-worthy showstopper with global prestige. Whether he’s a seasoned collector or an oenophile-in-training, this bottle is guaranteed to earn pride of place (and some serious bragging rights).
Armand De Brignac, La Collection

Jay-Z’s ultra-exclusive champagne brand doesn’t do things by halves. This limited-edition set (there are only 300 available worldwide) brings together all six of the house’s prized cuvées – including the coveted Blanc de Noirs and the signature Gold Brut – in one lacquered display case. With hand-applied pewter labels and bottles, this is the ultimate flex for any connoisseur.
