If your dad refuses to send links, make wishlists, or offer any clues whatsoever on what he wants, I’ve got some ideas that’ll make it look like you read his mind.

As a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team, I can't believe that I get to search the internet to help you find the best, most unique, life-changing products for my job.

Promising review: "Best Christmas gift my dad ever received. About five years ago, my dad randomly asked if I could stop by the bookstore and see if there were any 'New York Times crossword books, but only the Mondays (because they're the easiest)!' My bookstore trip was unsuccessful, so imagine my surprise when I saw that this book DID exist! My dad, who is impossible to buy gifts for, is blowing through this book and back on his crossword game! He's already bought the Tuesday book." —Lauren

Get it from Amazon for $13.02 (also available for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday — but just an FYI, they do get harder as the week goes on).

And there's a built-in groove for his legs to hang out comfortably.

Promising review: "I work from home a few days a week, and every once in a while, my work extends into the evening hours. I have a home office, but sitting at my desk all day is sometimes very tiring. I purchased this big memory foam desk pillow so that I can relax on my couch and still put my laptop up and have a comfortable working area. This pillow is big but very comfortable. It has armrests that wrap around the sides of you, and they also have little pockets for random things like your cellphone or the remote, etc. It’s so nice to just lean back into my comfortable couch and have this big soft desk in front of me. This would be a great gift." —Jenn Butterfield 

Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in small or large and in grey or dark grey). 

Best of all — you just unbox, and it's ready to go!

Promising review: "I had contemplated buying one of the expensive Lovesacs but decided to roll the dice and try a less expensive option. Found this product, read the reviews, purchased it, and hoped for the best. OMG! It’s HUGE (bigger than I imagined in my head) and SO comfortable and supportive. You don’t sink down to the floor like in a traditional beanbag, as this doesn’t have 'beans' inside. The setup was so easy. Going to order another one for my adult son, who just got his first apartment. What a great product and a BIG money saver." —Brittany W.

Get it from Amazon for $192.85+ (available in 20 styles).

Wallet Ninja is a small business that specializes in card-size, slim-profile tools and accessories. 

Each card includes (DEEP BREATH): several screwdrivers, a letter opener, nail puller, ruler, bottle opener, can opener, box opener, cellphone stand, hex-head nut and bolts, and a fruit peeler. 

Promising review: "This is definitely helpful to have on hand! The Ninja is small and slim but punches above its weight class in terms of usefulness. The tools are all things you might find yourself searching through a drawer for and are useful in a pinch. It fits comfortably in your wallet and will help you open a beer or tighten a screw. The coolest feature that I couldn't find on most other similar products was the credit card phone stand. It is great for planes and other travel applications (I haven't had trouble bringing this on a plane anywhere I have traveled, FYI)."—Mary

Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (also available in packs of two or three).

Promising review: "20th wedding anniversary gift to hubby and he loves it. Looooovvvvves it! He’s quite the grill master, and folks love his grilling. He’s been using this like crazy for grilling, smoking, air frying. He says all the time how much he loves it. He has so much more control over the cooking with the app and features." —SanDiegoPanda

Get it from Amazon for $399.99+ (available in four colors).

This box includes: two dry-aged steaks (either ribeyes or strips, based on availability), two pork chops, 2 pounds of dry-aged ground beef, 1 pound of bacon, 1 pound of country sausage, and 1 pound of chorizo sausage.

Promising review: "I've only had the steaks and bacon so  far, and they were both outstanding. Probably the best NY strip that I have ever made. The bacon may be expensive, but the taste is incredible." —Greg N

Promising review: "I received my product yesterday and immediately was excited to try it out. I must say, this BBQ sauce is absolutely amazing with LOTS of flavor. It has a bit of spice (not overpowering), but really, REALLY big, bold flavor. I tried it over chicken, but had my other family members try it with chicken nuggets and even on a burger. A definite must-have!" —RickS9

Get it from Walmart for $6.47 (also available in two other flavors).

Promising review: "This product is amazing. I used it for my chicken and dumplings recipe. I figured it was another one of those 'too good to be true' items, but this does everything it says it does. I literally shredded two large chicken breasts in seconds, yes SECONDS!! I wish I would’ve taken a video, but I didn’t. It didn’t move/slip from the counter, and it was perfection! Wow, just Wow!" —Ruthie K Voss

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 13 colors).

The kit includes a safety razor, badger hair brush, alum block, stainless-steel shave bowl, shave soap, and five Astra razor blades.

Promising review: "I bought this for my boyfriend as a Christmas present, but after hearing him complain many times about how long it takes to shave with his cheap disposable razors, I decided to give him this gift early. He absolutely loves it, and it gives him a super-clean shave (which means his stubble isn't irritating my face when we smooch, so it's a win for me as well. Haha). The sandalwood shave soap smells really nice, and the bristles on the brush are soft. The razor itself is very durable and high-quality. The packaging and label designs are really nice and give the kit a fun old-school feel. I'd definitely recommend this set — everything you need for a great shave." —Brittany

Leaf People is a small biz that creates handmade skincare products in Colorado!

Y'allllll — this stuff smells SO GOOD! I received a sample from the brand and my boyfriend has been using it for the last few weeks and it makes me want to curl up in his arms and just deeply inhale his scent. It's this earthy, musky scent that's got amazing reach and has honestly been a treat for me, too. But as far as the oil goes, he also really loves what it has done for his skin. He usually deals with a lot of redness and dry flakes on his skin, and since using this, he says he's noticed barely any redness and no more flakes. He also tried this three-piece skincare set that's part of what's pictured above. We're both v big fans!

Y'ALLLLLLLL....I am OBSESSED with this! As a writer (professionally and creatively), I am constantly looking at screens — all day, every day. And after a particularly late writing session for a creative project I was working on, I thought my eyes were going to jump out of my face. Then I remembered writing about this, and I got one with my FSA dollars since some variations are FSA eligible! It is truly my favorite thing to do before bed. But the one thing I want to point out is that it is LOUD when you use the eye massager. But what's so great about it is that you can use the heater separately from the eye massager. Now, I still enjoy using the eye massager, but since it is noticeably loud, I try to use it earlier in the day. But the heat — truly the greatest gift to tired eyeballs and the band fits perfectly snug around my head. Some nights I even fall asleep with it on. Also, the version I got comes with a gel mask for cold therapy! All I can think is, why didn't I know about this during COVID. (When I was in grad school, having to suffer through three-hour classes on Zoom? 🤪)

Promising review: "This eye massager is fantastic! My daughter sent me one for Mother’s Day. Once I tried it out, I sent one to my mom, son, and daughter in law. They all loved it so much, three more family members purchased them. This is a fantastic product and a great gift idea for the self care we all need but rarely take time out of our day for. After enjoying the massage, I feel so relaxed and the tension is gone. The adjustable strength of pressure, heat or no heat, and optional music make it even better. Great buy, 10 out of 10!!!!" —brooke

Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in 10 colors and two styles). 

Promising reviews: "Best compact wallet — This is my third Ekster, and each one I bought has been better than the previous. Highly recommend. And you can’t beat their warranty and customer service." —Clint A.

"Love the new and improved look from my previous Ekster wallet. It is scratch-free. Also love the accessories and travel items that I also bought." —JJ V.

Get it from Ekster for $69 (originally $99; available in standard or pro and in nine colors).

My boyfriend got to try these slippers on and I swear to y'all, since unboxing them, they have not come off his feet. Not only does he love the sleek look of them, but he finds the base to be super comfy. He also loves that he can wear them barefoot or with socks and his feet still fit perfectly.

Get it from Brunch for $98 (available in sizes 4–14.5 and in black or caramel).

The brand was kind enough to send me a sample and my boyfriend cannot get enough of it. He says that hazelnut flavor is just the perfect amount — not subtle but not too overbearing, and that it has the best natural tasing flavor he's ever had compared to other coffees where it can taste more artificial. He likes it so much that as an occasional coffee drinker myself, (I'm more of a matcha girlie now), I'm definitely getting myself a cup the next time he makes it.

Get it from Fresh Roasted Coffee for $16.99 (available in corse or ground beans and in three bag sizes).

All he has to do is pour coffee grounds (or tea leaves!) into the pitcher and let them steep overnight.

Promising review: "I LOVE this product so much! I drink iced coffee on the daily but the system I had just wasn't cutting it for me. I didn't know how to brew cold coffee at home (all we have is a Keurig, and there's no cold brew option) so I would go buy iced coffee from Dunkin' every morning. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Dunkin', but I wanted to find a way to be able to make that same iced coffee at HOME, and I think my wallet and gas tank wanted me to figure that out too. I found out about this product through TikTok and it is a GAME CHANGER. All you have to do is put coffee grounds in the filter, fill up the main compartment 3/4 full with water (I use water from my fridge), screw the filter into the lid and screw the lid shut, shake it a little to put the coffee grounds to work, and let it do its magic for 12–24 hours! This is probably the best investment I've ever made. You need this!!" —Carmen E. 

Get it from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in two sizes and three lid colors). 

This 12.5-oz cup chills all beverages (like wine!!) except carbonated ones. You just need to fill it with water and put it in the freezer for 12 hours before using. Plus, it's dishwasher-safe!

Promising review: "My son loves cold coffee but doesn’t like the process or taste of trying to cool it the traditional way. Instead, he would go buy a cold coffee. So when I saw this, I got it for him as a gift. He called me the other day just to tell me how much he loves this chiller. He says it works perfectly to give him instant cold coffee. All he has to do is pour his fresh-brewed coffee into the chiller, and it is immediately turned into ready-to-drink cold coffee. He told me I really scored with this gift." —Monica

Get it from Amazon for $20.24+ (available in five colors/styles).

And if he's team Android, check out this charger.

Promising review: "Got this yesterday and I’m very pleased with it. I had it out of the (very impressive) box and charging within 5 minutes. It came with 3 travel adapters, a snazzy double C charger cord, and a nice charge plug. It has a low-intensity charge light that isn’t blinding in the dark. It’s bigger than I thought it would be, but I like it - there is ample room to turn your phone horizontally. Aesthetically, it has an atomic age look to it that I find appealing. It’s weighted so you’re unlikely to be knocking it off tables and bedside stands. I’m very pleased with it - it wasn’t cheap, but it will likely hold up better than the mid-price chargers I’ve bought in the past." —Auroramwj

Want to make it extra cozy for Dad? Throw in an Epsom salt soak like Dr. Teal's Cozy Fireside version that has a ~delightfully~ woodsy scent profile!

Promising review: "I love to come home after a long day on my feet and just put my feet into this foot bath. Love the vibration. It feels so good. Highly recommended." —ziggy

Promising review: "I purchased this foot massager after reading an article on CNN about the best foot massagers out there. This is the best $68 I’ve ever spent! I have just about every foot problem known to (wo)man – plantar fasciitis, a bone spur, old scar tissue from a surgery, adhesions, high arches, and the list goes on and on. Yes this foot massager feels awesome when using it. But I also think it has improved the overall crappiness of my feet – meaning they are now less crappy! They feel better in every way and they don’t fatigue as easily throughout the day. I stand nearly all day at work, work out daily and am hard on my feet and this massager is a welcome treatment when I get home from the gym/work. My only complaint is due to how high my arches are, that portion of my feet really do not feel the rollers at all. An option for the rollers to roll ‘up’ higher would help. Many friends and family members have since purchased this after trying mine out. Buy it now – you will not regret it!" —KNazz

Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in three colors and two sizes).

They also come with two button batteries and one screwdriver for easy battery replacement. The included battery lasts 30 hours.

Promising review: "I got these for my dad, who is a Mister Fix-It! No more holding the flashlight with his teeth. Great gift for someone who already has every tool imaginable!" —Nicole W

Promising review: "Best work boot I ever purchased in my life. This boot fits like a glove. Hugs my feet well. I do over 18,000 steps a day. These boots are great and light. I wish I would’ve purchased a long time ago. But we’re here now!!!" —Angel O.T.

Get it from Brunt Workwear for $172.99 (available in sizes 7.5–14, regular or wide width, and with a soft or comp toe).

Promising review: "Super-lightweight jacket, three large pockets including one inside the inner lining (love that one!) and it is outstandingly waterproof — my T-shirt was completely dry under the coat even when caught outside in biblical rain without a brolly! Good work, Mountain Warehouse!" —Robert

Get it from Mountain Warehouse for $79.99 (originally $159.99; available in sizes XXS–3XL and in black or green).

Also, the floor is completely waterproof, while vents allow internal moisture to escape! So no need to fear waking up in a puddle from a surprise rain.

Promising review: "This tent works great; simple and fast set up. 2 adults and a 6yr old. Sleeps great head to foot. Handles condensation well in 25-29 degree nights. Also great size for an air mattress when car camping, yet light enough for the longer backpacking/hunt trip." —Luke A

Get it from Marmot for $441.75 (originally $589).

Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor, Abby Kass, has tried these and says: "Levain Bakery is one of my favorite bakeries in the world (strong statement, I know), but I used to live by their shop on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and would take every single person who visited me to taste their goodness. Their cookies are seriously beyond delicious. They're big enough to share (though that's not a requirement) and so gooey in the middle. I actually had a friend send me this cookie assortment a while ago and can confirm that the cookies are just as good if you don't get them from the store. I just recommend you follow their instructions and pop them in the oven before you enjoy them. This assortment includes one of each of their four original cookie flavors: Chocolate Chip Walnut, Dark Chocolate Chip, Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip (my fave), and Oatmeal Raisin." 

Get a four-pack from Levain Bakery for $32 (also available in an eight- and 12-pack). 

Check out a TikTok of Murdle in action. 

And did you know there's also a Volume 2, Volume 3, and many, many more themed Murdle books! If Dad is really about that armchair detective life, you can buy him a whole set.

Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun, but the characters, storylines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes, but this one will keep me busy for a while!" —Liz Gately

Get it from Marshalls for $149.99 (originally $300).

So the brand was kind enough to send me one to try out and I can't tell you how excited I am for the next long flight I have to use it! It really does feel like you're in your own lil' world in there and the neck support is legit. No bobble head sleep while you're in this baby. I feel like this along with some Loops earplugs would be part of a long flight starter pack if you are dead-set on getting some sleep.

Promising reviews: "The Pluto pillow made my international travel a breeze! I was able to sleep soundly on my flights and experienced little to no jet lag. It is a fabulous product. Thank you!" —Lizzy C

"Spent at least half of a 12-hour Frankfurt-to-San Francisco flight cocooned in my personal Pluto pod. Popped in some earplugs, dropped the Pluto shade, and I was out like a light, even when the flight attendants threw the cabin into a full spotlight and dished out their microwave meals. Total game changer." —Andrew T.

Get it from Pluto for $145 (available in grey or black).

It also comes with a USB-C charging cable, travel pouch, keychain holder, quick-start guide, and a manual.

Twelve South is a small business that has been creating innovative tech accessories since 2009. 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jessica Hall says: "I recently went on an eight-hour flight, and I was super annoyed about the concept of wearing wired headphones that are stuck in my ears for that long. I knew the only way I was going to be even reasonably comfortable is if I was wearing my over-the-ear headphones, but of course, the problem with that is that they use Bluetooth. Thankfully, I've been writing about this product for a while, so I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to give it a try. It is honestly the perfect answer to being able to use your own Bluetooth headphones. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone going on a long flight!!"

Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in four styles and in four colors).

My boyfriend got to try this set and y'all... he was FEELING himself the moment he put it on. The fit was perfect and really just draped in a way that I could totally understand why he was having fun checking himself out (because I was also checking him out lol). And the fabric is truly the most buttery feeling fabric that he and I have ever felt. He legit did not want to take it off.

Promising review: "Soft yet sturdy material. Good thickness to provide warmth but still be breathable. All around good day-to-day hoodie." —Joseph B.

Get it from Tommy John for $187 (originally $208; available in sizes S–XXL and in three colors).

Promising review: "From the moment I slipped them on, I could feel the difference. The suede is soft and high-quality, and the cork footbed molds beautifully to my feet. The arch support is outstanding — something I usually only find in much more expensive brands. I love that these clogs work for both men and women, and the design is that perfect mix of simple, stylish, and practical. They’re incredibly lightweight, and the interior feels cushioned without being bulky. I’ve worn them around the house, on quick errands, and even for long shifts on my feet, no soreness at all. If you’re looking for comfort, support, and great craftsmanship, these 'potato shoes' are a total winner. I’m already planning to grab a second pair in another color. Highly recommend!" —GastonPartyof4

Get them from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes 3.5–14.5 and in 10 colors).

Promising review: "I love them so much. Everything in the set feels luxury and high quality. The facewash and moisturizer work really well together and they make me feel comfortable. My skin feels really soft and clean and refreshing after using them. Honestly would give more than 5 stars if I could. Really hope to get more products like these to try!" —Gabriel A

Get it from Macy's for $41.25 (originally $55) or Amazon for $55.

Promising review: "I upgraded from the 1st-Gen AirPods Pro, and all I can say is wow. These are on another level. The sound quality is a significant improvement — richer, clearer, and more immersive. The fit is super comfortable, and the noise cancellation is noticeably improved. What really blows me away is how seamlessly they switch between my iPhone, MacBook, and work laptop. The connection is instant every time — no fumbling, no delays. Simply put, these are phenomenal. I absolutely love these AirPods and can’t imagine going back." —Paul A.

Promising review: "I use these every day at work! Love these — easy to learn and to use. Best thing about them? Well, everything, lol. Good sound, they hold a charge for long periods, and I don’t have to worry about them losing power. I can answer my phone easily and then go back to music without a problem. Definitely a great buy and worth the money! Love this color, too!" —Erin

Get it from Amazon for $24.66+ (available in nine colors). 

I neeeeeever thought I could become obsessed with a toothbrush, but I guess there's a first time for everything. First off, it's stunning. It's so sleek and high-tech looking. But what really sold me was the included UV-cleaning travel case and the never-ending battery life. As someone who feels like they've been living out of a suitcase recently, I love knowing that my toothbrush looks presentable (there's no grody toothpaste buildup around the head like with my old Sonicare one), and I can trust it won't die on me because the battery lasts for a month on a single charge!

Promising review: "I've been using a Sonicare for a while but was tempted to try Suri because of its lightweight footprint (both physically and ecologically). I'm blown away. This toothbrush packs a mighty punch for such a slim profile. It is super easy to take with you traveling, and the battery seems to last forever. Most importantly, the cleaning feels great. Most other slim-profile electric toothbrushes seem cheap, but this feels like a premium product. Suri, you have a convert!" —Andrew G

Get it from Amazon for $114.73 (available in five colors).

Promising reviews: "Fantastic product, we use this now at our bar for vodka drinks and tequila. Works great, and the drinks are absolutely fantastic. They taste just like, if not better than, an upscale bar. We bought the cordless version, we’ve been using it for a month, and I haven't had to recharge it, not once." —Goose

"I would like to say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE this. This is very easy to use, looks great in my Diva Den, easy to clean, and drinks can be made at your choice of strength. Love this!" —Thick'ems

Get it from Amazon for $299+ (available in four variations).

Check out a TikTok of the cocktail book in action. 

Promising review: "This book has easily become one of my favorites. Great base knowledge, and I would recommend it to anyone seeking to further educate themselves on spirits and cocktails. Even the first few pages are full of useful information. Purchase this for yourself or even as a gift. I cannot say enough good things about this book." —Adriana

Promising review: "I bought this for my Dad who really likes his wine. He didn't think it would do much to the taste of the wine so I had him try some cheapish wine without this aerator and then had him try it with the aerator and the taste was like night and day. He's tried it on some of his better wine and while it does change the taste a little, it wasn't as drastic as the improvement on the cheaper wine." —Kayson

This collection includes one of each of the following flavors: Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks, Darkest Chocolate, Brown Butter Almond Brittle, Honey Vanilla Bean, and Brambleberry Crisp.

So the brand was kind enough to send me a sample of this delicious collection, and of course, it was the quickest "yes" I've ever given, lol. So far, I've made my way through the Brambleberry Crisp (my boyfriend and I have literally fought over the last bite) and the Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks (he doesn't like peanut butter, so I've been able to enjoy this one in peace). And then, I'm very excited to get into the Honey Vanilla Bean next. But truly, every container has been so yummy that we've opened and would make an ice cream lover very happy. I mean, I even think it could convert an ice cream hater, tbh. It also comes very well packaged. I didn't open it right away, and even with sitting on my table for a few hours after delivery, those pints were still rock solid with ice all over them when I finally unboxed them to put in my freezer. I'd also love to recommend this heated ice cream scoop to go along with it if they have no patience and want to get into those pints of creamy goodness ASAP.

Promising review: "I sent my mom the bestsellers collection for Mother's Day, and she was SO happy. She's quite picky about ice cream and usually thinks it's too sweet or not sweet enough, or too thick or not creamy enough, or needs 'something.' But she only had gushing things to say about every flavor in this combo!" —David M

Get six pints from Jeni's Ice Cream for $79. And check out their other flavor collections here.

Promising review: "I’ve had my MLM2 Pro for almost a year. I think it’s helped me gain a lot of insight into how I play golf. I’ve shaved probably 10–15 strokes from my game, depending on the day. Don't get me wrong, I’m still a hacker lol. I use this to analyze how I’m hitting the ball and work on my consistency. I don't put much thought into how super accurate it is or ball spin like some. This is a beginners, budget launch monitor and it’s fantastic for my needs. It’s a nice way to keep swinging a club in the off season and hang with my friends. Things I don't like — sometimes it’s a little hinky to connect and sometimes it disconnects in the middle of a round. Usually we wait a minute and it reconnects. Any issues I have had are addressed by support when I submit an issue. They have updated this app and firmware many times since I have owned it, each time making the experience better. Overall, I would highly recommend this for a budget golf sim build." —Brad Ashley

And check out these glow-in-the-dark golf balls to add some extra pizzazz to his play!

Promising review: "The surface is large, but it can be rolled up and stored away in two minutes! The holes are slightly elevated (to create the holes) but negligible, unlike the one I had a long time ago that returned the ball. I like the shape of the mat (looks way more natural than a rectangular long strip), and the surface is soft and comfortable, yet it feels durable. I have no doubt I can make things more challenging by elevating certain areas underneath if I so desired. The 'sand trap' is also an excellent inclusion as it stops the golf balls from escaping the mat and keeping me from chasing down golf balls. Hopefully it can interest my kids to get off the electronics for a few minutes now and then, and if so, it will deserve an extra star. —Oniomaniac

Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in two options).

Free Yourself is an LGBTQ-owned small biz that creates the most intoxicating unisex scents my nose has ever had the pleasure of smelling. Each scent is crafted with positive psychology and emotional well-being in mind.

Oh, my woooooorrrrrddd! Wow... Just... I'm speechless. This scent is HEAVENLY for peeps who love that deep, musky earthy scent profile like myself. It's truly a complex balance of notes in that scent range that we traditionally think of as fem and masc that come together to create a wonderful unisex aroma anyone with a body will enjoy. Also don't let its compact size fool you like it did me. The scent strength and reach is powerful. You legit only need one spritz, maaayybeee two and you're good. If you've been looking for a signature scent, this will truly let people know that you have arrived before you even enter the room.

Promising review: "This is such a great poster. I bought this as a birthday present for my boyfriend who is a HUGE movie buff. We have movie nights throughout the week and I thought this would be something we could work on together. I haven't seen A LOT of these. He loves it. It's great quality." —Shelby Parker

All he has to do is snap in the reusable CO2 cylinder, fill up the container with water and his favorite soda syrup, and pull the lever on the side.

Promising review: "I've wanted one of these for over five years and finally took the plunge. I am so impressed with this! It's easy to use, and I love that I don't need to use SodaStream flavors if I don't want — I can create something entirely my own. I am already seeing savings in my grocery bill from not needing to buy sparkling water. I'm happy I am able to adjust the amount of CO2 used to my liking. As far as the unit construction, it seems very sturdy and well-made, the color is beautiful, and it does exactly what it is intended to do. Very pleased and highly recommended." —Dorothy of Oz

Get the bundle from Amazon for $167.99+ (available in four colors and two other variations)

Each set comes with a rain showerhead that you can get in four sizes (eight, 10, 12 or 16 inches), a shower mixer valve control, a handheld shower head, a stainless-steel shower hose, a shower head arm, and a brass shower bracket holder.

Promising review: "This rainfall shower and handheld provide a luxury spa experience in the privacy of your own bathroom. They are made of substantial, high-quality materials and look and feel high-end. The rainfall shower is amazing, with perfect pressure combined with beauty. It encourages standing for long, relaxing showers, just enjoying the water as it falls over you. The handheld is magic for sore muscles or just to enjoy the massage like water. The diverter is easy to use. The price for such high-quality products is more than reasonable." —linda33

If creating a morning and nighttime sleep routine is important to him, the Hatch Sleep app will allow him to create a custom ritual on their Restore machine for waking up and going to sleep — all from their phone.

Promising review: "Truly, if there has been one product that has changed my stress levels and sleep the most, this is it! I have been a huge fan of Hatch for years and just upgraded to the Restore 3. The instant stress that my body felt for years, having to be jolted awake by my iPhone alarm in the dark, was miserable. Now, getting to wake up daily to a slow sunrise as naturally as possible for a 6am wakeup call, I actually wake up and feel OK (most days, haha). This is one of the best self-care purchases I have ever made and also makes an amazing gift! I also have a three-step nighttime routine that includes red light and calming music, then an actually good white noise through the night so the traffic on my street doesn't wake me up.

BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.
