Men can be hard to shop for; we are saying this as men. Father's Day, one day a year, it is all about dad, and everyone wants to make sure he feels appreciated. This is our 2026 J. Earl & Sons' Gift Guide. Share with spouses, kids, and friends.
Men take pride in their home bar. Usually, one of the only places in the house where he has freedom to choose what it looks like. Things like trays, tools or bottles can be something that brings his workspace together. Deciding what to get him is daunting, we know, but let us point you in the right direction
Our Signature Glassware is always a great gift. Italian Glass hand etched in the US. Heft and scale with unmatched style. 14 different designs provide the option for everyone. Sold in pairs they can be the start of a collection with the opportunity to gift more down the line. They
are great for straight up pours or full cocktails like Old Fashioned & Negronis or Tequila Sodas.
Mixing Glasses are one of the more useful tools to have on your bar. Helping create classic cocktails. They can also be useful for entertaining. Pre-batch a few cocktails before guests arrive and easily pour out drinks without the hassle of remembering ingredients & pour amounts. The Mixing glass makes you look like a seasoned entertainer.
The bar can easily become a place to return to for each gifting holiday, slowly building, improving, and perfecting 1 tool at a time. Giving Dad the means to make a great cocktail at home.
Every bar needs useful tools, one of our favorites are bar spoons. The days of grabbing a knife from the drawer and using to mix the drinks can be behind you. Pewter or silver plate 13" Bar Spoons can add function to the bar while not giving up anything in the style department
Jiggers are a great way to moderate the heavy pours, allowing more precise measurements in advanced cocktails to make sure the rations are correct. Bar tools are something to take pride in, not something to take shame in.
Antique Decanters on a bar are a focal point, giving the bar color and character mixed in with the bottles. With many styles, figures and themes these are a great gift for someone who needs a great centerpiece.
Field Bars push the line between something you need and something you want. Once you use, it will be hard to go back. Tailgates, kid sporting events or put it out on the back porch. You will keep creating ways to use it
In a pinch, a good bottle of booze can be a great gift as well. Do your research, pick a brand with a story, something he can share with his buddies while he entertains. Doesn't necessarily have to be expensive or rare, just something he will enjoy.
Every man is different, but almost all can agree that gifts for the bar are something they want, so skip the socks, ties, & polos and get him something for his Home Bar.
