Father’s Day is creeping up fast! If you’re struggling to figure out what to get the dad in your life—trust us, we know how notoriously hard they are to buy for—we’ve got you covered.

On top of our ultimate Gift Guide for Dads, we’re sharing five things our own husbands swear by, along with a few of their absolute favorite recipes.

Austin (Polly's Husband)

Austin's Top 5 Recipes:

• ​Ground Beef Quesadillas​
• ​Turkey Pesto Paninis​
• ​Chicken Fried Rice (but made on the Blackstone)
• ​Smash Burgers with Burger Sauce​
• ​Slow Cooker Crispy Carnitas​

Austin's Favorite Items:

1. He has love love loved having a Trade Coffee Subscription. We've gotten to try so many different types of coffee from hidden gem roasters all over the US. You can get 20% off a year subscription. This is truly a great gift for a coffee lover.

2. High Quality Coffee Mug - Speaking of coffee - he uses this and only this for his morning brew. It keeps it warm for hours.

3. This item was a favorite Christmas Gift. He's used it multiple times so far and our family has really enjoyed it.

4. These Vuori Shorts - He wears them on repeat. Has multiple pairs. This brand is amazing and worth the $$.

5. This Car Air Freshener - He got one for Christmas 2 years ago and has bought refills on repeat. It provides enough of a scent to pleasant but not too overwhelming.

Nathan (Rachel's Husband)

Nathan's Top 5 Recipes:

• ​Sausage Rigatoni with Boursin​
• ​Cuban Paninis​
• ​Shrimp Coconut Curry Bowls​
• ​Pan-Seared Steak with Crispy Smashed Potatoes​
• ​Flatbread Pizzas​

Nathan's Favorite Items

1. My guy is always scouting out the latest in shoe fashion, which cracks me up because he's really a farm boy at heart. He loves these cool sneakers.

2. Not a day goes by where you won't find him wearing these in a coffee shop, in his shared office, or while working out. They are on sale now and really are a great gift!

3. My husband would disagree with Austin's suggestion above (don't worry, they are friends). This is the best travel coffee mug in his opinion--no metallic taste yet keeps it hot. Be sure to grab his favorite coffee to pair with it.

4. Nathan has gone through more water bottles than I can count, until he found this one that he totes around all day. He said to be sure to buy the boot for it, too.

5. My book-loving husband has used the heck out of this subscription for years. He just finished listening to this and now we're watching the mini series on PBS Masterpiece (it's good!).
