If you are looking for some unique gifts for dads, here is a list of ones that are sure to surprise him this year.
Thank you to Prohibition Soap for bringing us this guide.
If you’re looking for a standout dad gift that feels personal, useful, and locally made, Prohibition Soap Co. is a hit every time. This Oklahoma City brand started in 2020 when founder and Marine Corps infantry rifleman, Ray Thomas, was caught googling “saponification” at work and someone joked that he should start a soap company. Five years later, that joke turned into a full-on grooming business rooted in craftsmanship, chemistry, and a dash of prohibition-era swagger.
Ray is a self-described “half-a-chemist” who approaches soap like a mission. When he creates cocktail-inspired soaps, he visits actual bars, orders real drinks, and studies the color and scent so dads get something that smells like the real deal. Premium ingredients, like Organic Golden Jojoba Oil, lead the recipe instead of hiding at the bottom of the label. His mom, “Ma Barker,” makes their beard balms, oils, and body products, keeping the whole business family-driven.
Why dads love it: these grooming products don’t feel like a chore; they feel like an upgrade. Favorites like Kentucky Bourbon, Old Fashioned, Barbershop, and their Gentleman Beard line give dads a gift they’ll actually use and brag about…
