The Ultimate Father’s Day Gift Guide: Find the Perfect Gift for Dad With Drift
by Christian Thrapp | 05/26/2025
Finding a suitable gift for the man who’s got everything he needs: that’s the challenge many of us face this time of year. With Father’s Day less than a month away—June 15, in case you needed to mark your calendar—it’s time to start racking your brain for gift ideas for Dad. Whether you hit it out of the park last year (how are you going to top that?) or missed the mark completely (you can only go up from here!), the scent experts at Drift are proud to introduce a new way of thanking Dad.
Our Father’s Day Gift Guide doesn’t include your standard lineup of fishing poles, smart yet stylish ties, whiskey tumblers, or even a set of personalized golf balls. Instead, because Father “nose” best—you didn’t think we’d pass up the opportunity for a corny Dad joke, did you?—we’ve curated a Dad-worthy lineup of exclusive scented gifts. From signature Drift car fresheners to premium scented home products, the guide below includes everything you need to make Dad proud this Father’s Day.
Dad Drives Best Gift Set
With a luxury Drift car freshener as Dad’s copilot, it doesn’t matter if he’s just taking the scenic route or if he really does know a shortcut. Gift your favorite road trip commander three of our best-selling scents with the Dad Drives Best Gift Set, which includes everything he needs to start a conversation at the next backyard barbecue:
This must-have collection is tastefully housed within a simple yet durable snap-close box. If it becomes his new storage bin for odds and ends, does that technically count as a gift that keeps on giving?
Scents for More Than Just His Man Cave
Dads are all about the gizmos and gadgets, especially when it comes to improving their homes. Drift’s Home Scent Diffuser includes features you’ll overhear him bragging to his friends about: a rotating plug, a quick-release cover, and a scent that lasts longer than your average air freshener because “they don’t make them like they used to.” Of all the premium scents we offer, Grove is sure to give his house that fresh and clean aroma.
When you’re living under his roof and his rules, your options might be limited, but his don’t have to be with the Home Scent Diffuser Gift Set. Housed in a box similar to the Dad Drives Best Gift Set, this collection includes:
If you’re looking for something a little more personalized for Dad, our Room Spray in Vanilla Woods, Reed Diffuser in Teak, and Scented Candle in Amber are sure to suit his tastes. Beware of the unexpected and obscure knowledge you might learn when he unboxes these gifts. If he places these heartfelt gifts near his tools in the garage or whisks them off to the office, we wouldn’t be surprised.
This Isn’t Your Dad’s Cologne—Or is It?
Move over, Old Spice! Pair that dad bod with a signature cologne, specially curated by the scent experts at Drift. Whether your dad lives to make great time on the Open Road or prefers to Coast along as the hot-rodders zoom by, Drift has a fine fragrance that could become his new go-to scent.
Open Road caters to dads who enjoy a few fingers of whiskey as much as the cedarwood and bergamot beard oil they indulge in on occasion. The black pepper notes appeal to a dad who knows his way around a cast-iron skillet but still finds time to get a little mud on those size 12 boots. For the protective dad who preaches tough love but has a bigger heart than he lets on, there are tonka and elemi scent notes.
Every captain of the ship needs his crew for support, so why not show Dad love with Coast? Notes of coastal lavender, vetiver, and driftwood reveal he’s as reliable and dependable as you know him to be, but the lemon zest can’t quite match the zing of his dad jokes—yes, we’ve heard it a thousand times, too. But like sea salt, these dads bring that spice of life to any activity you do together.
Dad-Worthy Last-Minute Gift Subscriptions
If you’re reading this and it’s already the beginning of June, don’t sweat it! Drift has your back with last-minute gift subscriptions to help you show Dad love for the entire year.
