We asked some of the Zeel Team to name their top recommendations\u00a0for Father\u2019s Day gifts (besides an in-home massage on demand, of course). Herein they share their no-fail gifts for Dad.<\/p>\n
Spoiler alert: If you\u2019re the father of a Zeel employee, or a father married to a Zeel employee, please do not read this article.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like getting my dad stuff from Goldbely<\/a>. They ship food from the best restaurants and delis all over the country, overnight. They even have a monthly bacon subscription! I can get my dad the best bratwurst from his home state (Wisconsin) delivered with the touch of a button. What\u2019s better than food nostalgia?\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Tucker<\/p>\n \u201cMy dad really appreciates a good food gift, and this Father\u2019s Day I\u2019m planning to give him an on-demand food subscription from Plated<\/a> or Blue Apron<\/a>. He works late and doesn’t have much time to think about what he wants to eat each night \u2014 let alone time to shop for it or cook it. These subscription services send the meals of your choice straight to your door, with all ingredients in little packets, and each meal can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. They take the work out of grocery shopping, and since the deliveries come with step-by-step instructions, they’re easy to make for any skill level. Plus, there are usually leftovers, which he could pack for lunch the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Sara<\/p>\n \u201cI like Bespoke Post a lot for Father\u2019s Day gifts. You can class up your dad’s drinking a lot with a curated membership box full of cool concepts like \u201cAlchemy\u201d (a cocktail kit full of mixology accessories), \u201cThe Churchill\u201d (Carillo cigars, a reclaimed wood ashtray and cedar spills), or \u201cInfuse\u201d (a DIY liquor infusion kit). Bespoke Post is also great for younger guys, or those who have a new dad in their life.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Timothy<\/p>\n \u201cI ordered an outdoor bistro set<\/a> for my father this holiday, so he can sit back and enjoy the view of the creek in our backyard. He is getting older and spends a lot of time at home \u2014 I\u2019m hoping this will help him slow things down a little and enjoy the present. He can drink his morning coffee on the patio, relax and soak in the suburban scenery.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Semra<\/p>\n \u201cMy dad has been (not so subtly) hinting that he would love to go on a fishing trip sometime soon. This Father\u2019s Day, I’m going to get him a Groupon experience for a deep sea fishing trip and some new fishing gear. If we come back empty-handed, I’ll get him something to soothe his ego \u2014 the famous Balboa Bar (vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate and rolled in toppings) from the aptly named Dad’s Donut & Bakery Shop near Newport Beach<\/a>. My dad grew up nearby and Balboa Island is one of his favorite places.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Shannon<\/p>\n \u201cMy dad’s a super laid-back artsy type so I usually struggle with Father’s Day gifts, to be honest! He is a big reader, though, so when all else fails I usually opt for a good history book.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Leah<\/p>\n \u201cI’d recommend a Sock Fancy<\/a> subscription for the father who likes to dress to impress. My husband dresses up for work every day, but hates figuring out which socks to buy. The Sock Fancy socks are always a great addition to his work outfits, and he doesn’t have to put a single thought into it! I’d also recommend new fishing poles. My husband is a dedicated dad that likes to spend his minimal downtime near the water. We live near the ocean so fishing is always a good way to go.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Michelle<\/p>\n \u201cMy boyfriend is the best dog dad \u2014 so \u2018we\u2019 bought him a new pair of running shoes this Father\u2019s Day to thank him for all the walks!\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Jaime<\/p>\n \u201cMy go-to gift this year is a BarkBox<\/a> subscription. My dad loves his dog, and he\u2019ll enjoy giving Bo the hand picked treats and toys every month.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Charissa<\/p>\n \u201cI usually get sports tickets or sports memorabilia from his favorite team (Packers all the way). Preferably tickets because then I get to go, too. Everyone wins!\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Sarah<\/p>\n \u201cI know this is a pretty traditional Father\u2019s Day idea, but I really like buying tools for my dad. He enjoys doing improvement projects around the house, and when I buy him a good tool, I know he’ll use it for years and get a lot of enjoyment out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Alexander<\/p>\n \u201cMy dad is a tennis fan, so I plan to get him tickets to the US Open. It sounds like a big-ticket item but they\u2019re actually not as expensive as you\u2019d think. This way we get to spend some quality time together watching his favorite sport, and the events are not too far from home in Queens<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Monica<\/p>\n \u201cMy dad has heart problems, so I keep that in mind when considering gift ideas for Father\u2019s Day. Turns out, the \u2018bearing down\u2019 motion from sitting in the bathroom can create increased arterial pressure, which can dislodge stuck blood clots, lead to fatty buildup and plaque, and cause a stroke or a heart attack. (This is actually what happened to Elvis Presley). So, being the thoughtful, overly worried daughter that I am, I bought him a Squatty Potty<\/a> last holiday. It took him by surprise at first, but he likes it a lot now.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Melanie<\/p>\n \u201cTwo presents I\u2019d recommend for Father\u2019s Day involve self-care<\/a>, as dads have a tendency to neglect their own personal needs. The first gift idea: skin care products. Yes, I know that \u2018pampering oneself\u2019 is often associated with women, but men really should take care of their skin, too. The second idea is to replace any of his old sports or athletic wear. Are his sneakers tattered and worn out? This can dramatically affect his posture and overall comfort throughout the day. And if none of these presents are his style, you can\u2019t go wrong with grilling supplies in a pinch!\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Eva<\/p>\n \u201cIf your dad is anything like mine, look into a Dollar Shave Club<\/a> membership. This is a great gift for men who value frugality and simplicity, and don\u2019t want\u00a0to go to the store for blades every month. My dad’s also low-maintenance when it comes to product purchases \u2014 we\u2019re talking about someone who spent decades using the orange Bic razors that come in a bag for four bucks \u2014 and Dollar Shave Club\u2019s quality is a huge step up without being too fancy. DSC offers four different razor options for any parental blade preference, along with something called Dr. Carver\u2019s shave butter. Might be a nice change from Barbasol.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Zack<\/p>\n \u201cHonestly, I\u2019ve got to go with a Zeel in-home massage as the perfect Father\u2019s Day gift. (Shameless plug.) A lot of people think that massage is synonymous with Mother\u2019s Day presents \u2013 but as a dad myself, I can tell you that my wife and I both deserve a break every now and then! Massage is great for reducing stress, promoting better sleep, and overall it\u2019s just nice to treat your father to an hour of relaxation in the comfort of his own home.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Samer<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Book<\/a> a Zeel Massage On Demand today, or explore our massage gift card<\/a> options for whenever he likes.
