Whether Dad is a casual runner or a marathoner, he’s going to be dying to get feet into these new extra-cushioned shoes from Allbirds. In our Allbirds Tree Dasher review, we found that pretty much every feature of the shoe was about making running easier — the no-slip heel, the light weight, the angular heel that helps soften impact with every step. It’s also one of the most coolest-looking running shoes on the market. Check out our full Allbirds review here.

Give Dad some of the best sleep of his life with our pick for the best sleep mask of the year. It features a genius nose wire, so it blocks all — and we mean all — of the light. The mask is soft on the eyes and comfortable on the head, and it never so much as budged during the night, no matter our sleep position.

Being a new parent often leaves little time for cooking, but you can’t knock throwing a frozen pizza in the oven… when that pizza was shipped straight from Naples, Italy! Such is the case with the Talia di Napoli pies, which are baked in wood-fired ovens and boast local ingredients like off-the-vine Italian tomatoes and fiore di latte mozzarella.
