Of all the things dads are, keeper of the house is perhaps their most hallowed duty. The home owner’s tools create a dominion worth showing off, whether they be the most powerful cordless vacuum to date, the most functional kettle ever (and the prettiest) or the beefiest smart home speaker to date. This list isn’t for the dad whose home is a place to be — it’s for the dad whose home is the place to be.
Brooklinen Super-Plush Complete Towel Set
Brooklinen’s new Super-Plush towels are cozy and absorbent, unlike your average towel that sacrifices one for the other. And they’re made extra large so you can just as easily wear one as a cloak as you can wrap it around your waist. Brooklinen uses a long-staple Turkish cotton that makes for a much softer, longer-lasting finished product. One color is already sold out — get yours before the rest are gone.
