I just turned 30, and suddenly I’m surrounded by dads. My coworkers are dads. My cycling buddies are dads. My best friend is about to become a dad—and then there’s my actual dad, of course!
With Father’s Day fast approaching, I knew a fistful of $20 gift cards to Best Buy and the Home Depot was not going to cut it.
Thankfully, at the height of my panic, I came across an ad for Bespoke Post: a membership that delivers unique and tasteful goods (we’re talking everything from handmade cutlery to outdoor gear to coffee, and even fresh oysters?!) in a monthly box, right to your doorstep.
Having given them a whirl (to great success), here's why I think Bespoke Post is the perfect way to source gifts for all the dads in your life:
#1: Bespoke Post takes the guesswork out of giftwork
Bespoke Post makes sign-up quick and easy with a membership quiz that tailors your box recommendations to your tastes. They let me rank my interests across tons of categories ranging from Mixology and Barware to Camping and Outdoors. Also, did I mention that joining is free?
That’s right. Monthly membership fee: $0.
Once I was a member, I could browse personalized recommendations and peruse gifts for the many dads in my life by category, which is an absolute game-changer!
#2: The gear dads want—at the price you need
Each Bespoke Post box contains a selection of different items, 90% of which are sourced from small businesses, craftsmen, and boutique brands.
Given the quality of the products, I expected to pay a premium. What I actually paid was $49.
While any regular person off the street can buy a Bespoke Post box for $70, members get that discount immediately (because of their membership which—I will remind you—costs exactly $0 per month).
If a monthly box containing a rotating selection of well-made items (which you can always preview before receiving, plus pause or cancel at any time) wasn’t enough, Bespoke Post also has a huge inventory of individual items that members can get for up to 30% off!
For those dads who deserve a truly premium gift (i.e. my actual father), Bespoke Post has tons of options—including this ultra-portable Grill and Smoker from NOMAD I may or may not have just bought…
#3: Gifts for every kind of dad
If it wasn’t already clear, the range of gifts offered by Bespoke Post has blown me away—even for those super hard-to-impress, frustratingly unique, fathers on your list.
One of my aforementioned cycling buddies is big into home improvement but not exactly down with the “hardware store” aesthetic—so I got him this beautiful Recycled Steel Toolbox from Puebco. Easy.
I also snagged:
- This Cocktail Smoker Top for ‘Fancy Cocktail’ dad.
- This Dry Bag Cooler for ‘Hiking and Fishing’ dad.
- This portable Luxury Grooming Tool Kit for ‘Travel and Fashion’ dad.
- This pronged Grillmaster BBQ Knife for ‘Grilling and Gardening’ dad.
#4: A flexible membership (that you won’t want to cancel)
Maybe you thought I would unsubscribe from Bespoke Post once my Father’s Day gifts were in hand… or maybe you—like me—thought “dang, these boxes are so well priced and the stuff is so well-curated—how could he possibly go back to the way things were before?”
And if you thought the second thing, then you guessed right. My Bespoke Post membership has proven far too sweet to part with (particularly after having barely fought the urge to keep some of these Father’s Day gifts for myself 🤫).
All of that said, Bespoke Post requires absolutely no commitment! So if I ever get tired of receiving tasteful, functional, and life-enriching goods every month, I can skip the month (unlikely) without any charge, or cancel altogether (never going to happen).
Goodbye, gift cards; Hello, Bespoke Post
This year, I’ve cracked the code to Father’s Day gifting with Bespoke Post and I’m never looking back!
Bespoke Post has me feeling giddy to see all these fatherly faces when they get unique gifts they’ll actually use. The days of the one-size-fits-all $20 Home Depot gift card are done. If you want dads all over to be singing your praises, your Bespoke Post subscription awaits!
