1. DuraCeramic Air-Fryer
Air-fryers are worth the hype. This multipurpose appliance lets Dad come home late and quickly prep a healthy plant-based meal in about 20 minutes. Consider pairing the gift with a few printed air-fryer recipes to open his mind to the wonder and abundance of the air-frying world.

2. Celliant Performance Sheets
Nice sheets are always an unexpected yet pleasant gift idea, but these performance sheets go above and beyond by promising to aid muscle recovery while you sleep. The company explains that its patented mineral-infused yarns absorb body heat and convert it into infrared light that penetrates muscle and tissue and promotes circulation. Even if you’re skeptical, the placebo effect alone is probably worth it. They’re perfect for the weekend warrior triathlete or gym rat dad.

3. ‘Love and Hope’ Jersey Tank
We can’t stop Dad from wearing muscle shirts. As weird as it is to think of him showing off his biceps, he’ll surely appreciate a new tank that lets him strut his stuff while also promoting his clean vegan diet. Bonus: all proceeds go directly to Mercy For Animals to help end factory farming.

10. Who Gives a Crap Toilet Paper
During a time of social distancing, this ethical toilet paper is a terrific gift that every dad (or anyone … ) will welcome.

The brand donates a whopping 50 percent of its profits to building toilets in parts of the world where access is limited. Now that’s something to think about when sitting on the lou.
