The Best Sweet Gifts for Cancer Zodiac Dads
There's a tendency for Cancers to be known as the parental figures of their friend groups, so it should come as no surprise that those born under the sign are often excellent parents, known for their sensitivity and caring natures.
The Cancer season typically lasts from about June 21 to July 22, and in our experience, Cancers make for great dads. That means that if your dad's a Cancer, his birthday is coming up soon, so keep scrolling to discover some of the very best gifts for him, based on his zodiac sign.
Magic Mind: $89.25
Cancers tend to have eyes bigger than their stomachs when it comes to making commitments and adding responsibilities to their own plates, which can lead to an almost constant feeling of overwhelm. While it's tough to get him to stop agreeing to more work, you can help him manage it better with Magic Mind. These matcha-based mental performance shots taste amazing and are infused with adaptogens, vitamins and a healthy dose of natural caffeine to bust through brain fog and tiredness and help him achieve pretty much anything. We'd tried them ourselves, and they truly are like magic.

Yamaha TW-E3C Wireless Earbuds: $79.95
As water signs, Cancers are creative and sensitive, so they tend to be music lovers. With Yamaha's TW-E3C Wireless Earbuds, your dad can bring his music with him wherever he goes, with Bluetooth connectivity and up to 24 hours of listening, plus full-range sound at even low volumes. Whether he wants to escape into his favorite tunes or enjoy a podcast or audiobook, these convenient and comfy earbuds will have him covered.

Vionic Tide RX Recovery Sandal: $100
Cancer season also coincides with the beginning of summer, and if your dad's favorite pair of sandals is well beyond its prime, you might want to give him a comfortable replacement like these Vionic Tide RX Recovery Sandals. They're designed with extra support and stability, massaging the feet as he walks to aid recovery, and they look pretty sleek, too, in 10 different colors to suit his style.

Shibumi Shade Classic: $250
Most people born under water signs, like Cancer, find it healing and restorative to be near the water, and that includes the beach in the summertime. Help your dad make the most of the season with Shibumi Shade Classic, a lightweight and easy-to-assemble wind-powered shade that's ideal for beating the heat on breezy beach days.

Ototo Red Spoon Holder & Steam Releaser: $19.95
In the zodiac, Cancer is symbolized by a crab, and since the sign is also the homebody of the zodiac, you really can't go wrong with crab-shaped items for the home. We adore Ototo's Red, an adorable crab-shaped spoon holder and steamer releaser made from food-grade silicone.
