Forget those ties and slippers and all the other Father’s Day gifts that create a yawn and a shove of the item into a dresser drawer. Pick out something from The Wooden Palate, and we predict not only will dad love it and use it, but it will become an heirloom piece passed down through the ages.

harper_small_1 The small Harper Tray and one of our favorites. It’s great for the side of the bed or putting on top of a dresser to provide a sturdy spot for wallets, glasses, keys and change. There are three sizes starting at $150, and available in walnut or white oak and brass.

salt cellar top Another option: salt cellars.

Each box is an original creation and includes an attached lid. They are crafted from a single solid piece of ancient tropical hardwood.

$50

The Mini Cut Chop Board is another fun item.

It will be a great addition to the kitchen and the perfect size for dad to cut snacks, herbs, or the ends off cigars.

Each one is unique and available in a variety of woods.

$100

The Diplomat season 2: New cast members and more

We've got the scoop on The Diplomat season 2!

Keri Russell in The Diplomat.

Although The Diplomat arrived with little fanfare in 2023, it has earned its place among the best shows on Netflix. For her first TV series since FX's critically acclaimed Cold War drama, The Americans, Keri Russell was cast in the leading role as Kate Wyler, the new U.S. Ambassador to Britain. Unlike Russell's previous role on The Americans, Kate's not the kind of character who is going to get any action scenes. But there's more than enough intrigue on this show to keep fans excited about its return.

And that return may be closer than you think. That's why we've put together this guide to everything we know about The Diplomat season 2, including the first new cast member to join the show.

When will The Iron Claw start streaming?

One of A24's best movies is headed to Max in May.

The cast of the Iron Claw.

After a pretty successful run in theaters, The Iron Claw is headed to streaming. The movie, which is based on the true story of the Von Erich brothers, a family of professional wrestlers who met tragic ends in the 1980s, was one of A24's biggest commercial successes upon its release in December of 2023 and one of the best wrestling movies ever made.

If you missed the movie when it was in theaters, though, you're in luck. It's about to make its streaming debut.

No one has seen this Beatles documentary in 40 years — it’ll soon be on Disney+

It took four decades, but the Beatles' Let It Be documentary is finally coming back.

The Beatles perform their rooftop concert in 1970.

In 2021, The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson surprised Beatles fans with The Beatles: Get Back, a newly restored documentary series that added further context to the Beatles' final movie, Let It Be. The band broke up in 1970, shortly before the release of Let It Be, which chronicled their final recording sessions together. Let It Be was briefly available on home video during the beginning of the '80s, but it spent over four decades in a vault, leaving modern fans unable to watch it... until now.

Next month, Disney+ will host the streaming premiere of Let It Be, marking the first time that the general public has seen it in over 40 years. And just as he did on The Beatles: Get Back, Jackson oversaw the digital restoration of Let It Be that will make the film look better than ever before.
