The Holiday Luxury Gift Shop: The 16 best for dads in 2022
We’ve moved past the era of novelty ties (does anyone even wear ties anymore?). Let’s pretend the printed mugs and bottle of unopened middle-shelf liquor never happened. Your dad—or someone dad-like—deserves so much more. Luckily we are living in an age of endless options when it comes to the best luxury holiday gifts for dad.
Our holiday luxury gift shop is filled with the best most-wanted ultra-luxurious gifts for dads (and grandpas and cool uncles) in 2022.
From supple suede slippers to the ultimate barbeque setup to a hip flask that doubles as a design objet, we’ve compiled a unique holiday luxury gift list worthy of dads (and grandpas and cool uncles) everywhere.

The Holiday Luxury Gift Shop: The 16 best for dads in 2022
1. Down Sweater by Crescent Down Works
This is the ne plus ultra of puffers. Crescent Down Works has been making perfect, lofty outerwear in Seattle since 1974. We’re betting it will feel familiar to pops, but stacked with the kind of details he’ll appreciate like down-filled hand pockets and a water resistant shell for all his outdoor endeavors.
BUY NOW: $647.00.
2. Cashmere Fringed Scarf by Loro Piana
A cashmere scarf may seem like an obvious choice, but look a little closer and you’ll see it’s a cut above. It’s from Loro Piana—they literally have herders hugging their cashmere goats in Mongolia.
BUY NOW: $950.00.
3. 1000 Design Classics Book by Phaidon
Ask your dad if he knows Le Corbusier, Alvar and Aino Aalto, Isamu Noguchi or Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. Yeah? Then he needs this big book of 1,000 of the greatest objects ever designed, from the Tulip Chair to the Bird scooter.
BUY NOW: $89.95.
4. Jikaro Firering Set by Snow Peak
Most barbecues aren’t exactly putting looks first. Rightly so, they have a more important job to do bringing char and smoky flavor to dad’s signature steaks. But this set has it all with sleekly designed good looks and cooking and dining surfaces made for the ultimate outdoor gathering.
BUY NOW: $881.95.
5. Equilibre d’Hermès Magnifying Glass by Hermès
We’re not saying this will solve the eternal search for The Lost Reading Glasses, but it will look really good on his desk.
BUY NOW: $1,900.00.
6. Slub Linen Pyjama Set by Emma Willis
Matching flannel PJs are fine for the ‘gram if you’re into that, but naturally lightweight linen is the way to go for all-season sleeping and lounging. Emma Willis brings her Jermyn Street handmade shirting sensibility to this elevated set.
BUY NOW: $865.00.
7. Resurrection Duet Hand Wash and Balm by Aesop
Fair warning: this is only going to increase the number of gentle admonitions to “Wash your hands!”, but we have a feeling once he starts using this exceptional-smelling stuff to clean (and hydrate!) his mitts, he’s not going back.
BUY NOW: $127.00.
8. Ultra Facial Cream With SPF by Kiehl’s
As he may like to remind you, he’s not getting any younger. All the more reason to moisturize and protect his face from the sun. Kiehl’s 2-in-1 makes it easy.
BUY NOW: $34.00.
9. Whiskey by Uncle Nearest
Named after Nathan “Nearest” Green, the formerly enslaved man who is now recognized as being the first African American master distiller, teaching Jack Daniels to distill, Uncle Nearest not only offers up award-winning taste, it also comes with a story. Dads love telling stories.
BUY NOW: Starting at $82.98.
10. Shot Hip Flask by Alessi
He has to put that whiskey in something, right? May as well be a beautifully designed flask. He’ll continue to thank you when he finds himself somewhere they’re only serving wine and beer.
BUY NOW: $75.00.
11. Coffee Subscription by Stone Street Coffee
He can take his pick from The Perfect Espresso, Brooklyn Roast, Costa Rica Tarrazu and many more blends from this small batch artisanal roaster.

For the dad who was “into vinyl” when there wasn’t any other option.
