If there is one Danish custom that Americans should seriously consider adopting, it’s the concept of hygge — that is, basically living a life that emphasizes being cozy and content with and delighted by the little things in life.
Pronounced hyo-guh, the word hygge is definitely one to associate with during the holidays.
When it comes to the cozy life, you might picture a woman curled up with a good book under a giant blanket. However, there’s no reason why men can’t enjoy hygge as well, and that’s especially true for dads.
This gift guide is designed for the dad in your life who can’t help but be cozy, and hopefully it will help him reach his true hygge potential.
Here are 14 hygge gifts for dads that are under $50.
Whiskey Glasses
If dad is looking to cozy up in front of the fire this holiday season, chances are he’s going to want to enjoy a nice glass of whiskey or bourbon while he does so. This gorgeous set of 4 glasses from Liiton features a beautiful mountain range design, which actually aerates the whisky as dad swirls it around in his glass.
Now that’s form and function we think dads will appreciate!

Rotation Tapered Jogger Sweatpants
A lot of us love to live in our sweats as it is, but it turns out that there’s even a Danish word for the pants you wear around the house but would never wear out: hyggebukser. Obviously, no hygge gift guide for dads would be complete without this option!
