Bring Out the Kid in Him With These 10 Father's Day Gifts From Nordstrom

Admit it: you make fun of your dad's style for being stuck in the past. Well, luckily for him, chunky, retro dad sneakers are having a major moment. Take him back to the '90s with a pair of the iconic Nike Air Max sneakers ($110), which will keep him comfy, stylish, and right in step with the "cool kids."

He may have had a turntable growing up, and now he can relive his musical memories with this turntable entertainment system ($169). Complete with speakers and built-in Bluetooth, it's a modern upgrade he'll appreciate.

Combine durable functionality and retro, colorblocked style with this The North Face pullover ($79), which is compressible and water-repellent and comes in a handful of primary-color combinations. Throw this on, and adventure is practically guaranteed.

While you might not be able to gift him free time to spend outdoors, the next-best thing is a mini terrarium ($185) to help bring the outdoors to him. The sleek design can house small plants, ferns, or mosses for him to nurture and display.

A functional item gets a modern upgrade with this cool canvas apron ($80). With its contrast trimming in kid-like shades, he'll look forward to throwing this on — just in time for manning the grill for Summer barbecues . . . because that's such a dad thing.

To-do lists just got a whole lot more exciting thanks to this daily roller ($102) that dispenses kraft paper from a sleek wall bracket. Whether he uses it to create grocery shopping lists, jot down ideas, or simply to doodle, the blank slate encourages him to get creative.

If he loves spending time in the kitchen, nothing will get him more excited than a real-deal professional chef knife ($39). This one is crafted in France with a rust-proof stainless steel blade, but it's the colorful wooden handle that makes a very "adult" item feel fun.

If he grew up wearing Levi's, he'll appreciate a classic denim jacket ($90) from the brand. Between the timeless design and the durable denim, this staple piece just gets better with age.

Give him a blast from the past with a refurbished Polaroid camera ($190). Its easy-to-use functionality, instant gratification element, and retro colors and patterns will make him feel like a kid with a shiny new toy to play with.

Re-create the excitement of packed lunches with a nifty Japanese-style bento box ($30). The design is sleek and sophisticated but infused with just the right amount of retro fun with exciting colors.
