Design by Victoria Bellafiore

Even if I mark Father’s Day on my calendar weeks in advance (it’s Sunday, June 16 this year, BTW), I somehow always end up on the hunt at the last minute searching for gifts for dad, which is probably because dads are notoriously hard to shop for. But this year, I've got ideas! Over 90 of them, actually. Is your brother, who is also a dad, a golfer? The Apple Watch Series 7 will improve his game. Or maybe your young kids want to inspire your dad to make healthy smoothies with a powerful blender. How about finding a way to creatively say "Cheers to you, Stepdad" with an $11 pair of Star Wars-inspired chopsticks, or going all out with $1,500 home fitness bike for your partner?

If you're still stuck on what to get the doting dad in your life, check out this comprehensive guide. And, while you're at it, whip up one of these fulfilling Father's day dinner ideas to really make it an event.

How I Chose the Best Father’s Day Gifts

I—and my fellow contributors—took the quest to find the best Father’s Day gifts seriously. (After all, we all know how hard it can be to find something for dad’s day.) Some of the main criteria we looked at were:

  • Customer ratings: products needed a 4-star review or higher to make the list
  • Versatility: we wanted to make sure there was something for every father figure, regardless of what they’re interested in
  • Price: everyone has a different budget, and while we included a few splurges, we focused on items under $50 in particular
  • Practicality: at one point or another, we’ve all bought a gift for dad that he never ended up using. Every present on our list is something that’s designed to make his day easier, his wardrobe more stylish or simply bring a smile to his face

For the Dad Who Likes to Grill

1. Smokehouse Grilling Set

Thoughtfully Store

This seasoning gift set from Thoughtfully will seriously up Dad's grilling game. The pack contains 20 different spice and salt blends, ranging from Italian and Cajun to lime chipotle and rosemary & herb salt. Whether it's dinner for two or he's hosting the latest neighborhood barbecue, he'll definitely find this useful.

For the Dad Who's Phone is Always Dying

2. Mini Portable Charger

Lanluk

Is dad's phone always dying because he forgets to charge it? This pocket-sized mini portable charger is the solution to all of his problems (and the end of your annoyance). The charger is compatible with all recent iPhone models, and contains a speedy built-in lighting connector that will fully power up his device in no time. Oh, and did we mention that this little buddy has over 3,000 5-star reviews? Factor that in with the affordable price, and this makes for a great gift to consider.

For the Dad Who Likes to Smell Good

3. Nautica Voyage Cologne

Nautica

Containing top notes of coastal herbs and woody scents, buyers rave not only about the fresh, clean smell the cologne offers, but also its ability to last practically all day. Plus, if you want a bigger bottle, you can purchase a 6.7-ounce one for roughly $15 more. A great deal, if you ask us.

For the Dad Who Needs a Razor Upgrade

4. Happy Nuts Electric Body Trimmer

Happy Nuts

Admittedly, this gift is better suited for a partner who happens to be a Dad, since it's a bit, ahem, personal. But reviewers rave about this electric shaver, which features a helpful ergonomic design that assists with removing hair in hard-to-reach areas while also avoiding painful cuts and scrapes through its 30-degree pivoting body trimmer blade. The most helpful features, according to buyers? The fact that it's waterproof and that its battery lasts for up to 150 minutes.

For the Dad Who's in a Little Pain

5. MagicMakers Neck Massager

MagicMakers

Pain, pain go away. If he's been experiencing neckaches, this electric shiatsu will automatically make you his *favorite* person in the world. Available in two different hues, this bad boy comes with a total of eight different modes, all of which will put its wearer in deep-massage heaven. If that isn't enough, there are also three different speed modes you can choose from, depending on your pain level. He'll certainly appreciate the comfort of having his very own in-house massager.

For the Dad Who Likes A Good Ole Beer

6. Beer Drop Delivery Box

Beer Drop

I can think of a number of celebratory events coming up worth cracking a bottle over (Fourth of July, Olympics, the start of football season...), and with that in mind, it might be worth it to invest in a beer subscription for dad. Plans start at six beers for $33 per drop, going up to ten beers for $44 a drop. If six is too little and ten is too much, the company offers a perfect middle ground with their eight peer package, which starts $40 a drop. Sounds good, right?

Best for the Guy with a Million Hobbies

7. Masterclass All-Access Subscription

masterclass

Give him the gift of unlimited access to classes from experts in everything from poker to interior design with this epic Masterclass subscription. Did I mention it's only $10 a month?

For the Dad Who Likes Comics

8. Custom Super Dad Book

Uncommon Goods

What's better than gifting dad a set of his favorite comic books? Getting him his very own comic book...literally! Go all out this Father's Day by making him a personalized illustrated book that will feature cool drawings of him in superhero mode, alongside his name and personalized notes of all the ways he's a "superhero" in everybody's life. I think dad will be pretty geeked over this one.

Best for the Well-Dressed Dad

9. lululemon ABC Classic-fit Pant

lululemon

Guys rave that these pants are so comfortable they feel like sweatpants, but they look sharp enough to wear to work, dinner, to grab drinks—everywhere including the couch on game night. The secret is lululemon's uniquely engineered gusset, which provides extra sitting room. And the four-way stretch fabric is anti-wrinkle, quick-drying and retains its shape through countless washings. Available in 14 colors and multiple lengths, you find a pair he'll reach for first in his closet.

For the Quirky Dad

10. Eyeglasses Holder

Uncommon Goods

If dad is always misplacing his glasses, this quirky eyeglasses holder is one that will come in handy while also making him chuckle. Hand-carved with shisham wood (which he'll also find interesting), this unique present is a good one (and funny) for the kiddies to gift their father for the occasion. Plus, he definitely won't be losing his glasses anymore.

Best for the Chill Dad

11. Nike Sportswear Tech Fleece Men’s Joggers

Nike

Tired of seeing your dad wear the same pair of ratty sweats every Sunday? I get it. Treat him to the highly rated Nike Sportswear Tech Fleece Men’s Joggers, available in 20 colors and sizes XS to 4XL tall. They feature a stylish tapered cuff at the bottom so he’ll look fashion-forward even on his laziest of days, while the zippered pocket on the right side is perfect if he decides to trek out to the outside world.

Best for the Cooking Papa

12. Graza Premium Olive Oil Duo

Graza

Our food editor Taryn Pire reviewed this set of olive oils made from Picual variety olives in Spain, noting that "not only does pure Picual olive oil taste better than the old, cheap blends we’re used to...but they’re also bursting with beneficial polyphenols and antioxidants." This set consists of two bottles: one called Drizzle, one called Sizzle.

"Peppery, vegetal and just spicy enough, Drizzle is best consumed raw," Pire decrees, noting that with Sizzle, "the flavor is more muted, and the oil is mellow, delicate, soft and ever so slightly sweet in flavor." She recommends that this oil is used in frying, sautéing, searing and roasting.

Best for the Pizza Aficionado

13. Solo Stove Pi Pizza Oven

Solo Stove

He’ll love showing off this stunning pizza oven that produces delicious wood-fire pizzas. The oven is small enough to fit on a kitchen counter, with the brand giving you the option of selecting whether you want the oven wood only, or a combination of wood and gas. A great gift to give dad ahead of fall football season.

Best for the Dad Who Puts Everything on Ice

14. YETI Hopper Flip 12 Soft Cooler

Yeti US

Upgrade his cooler by treating him to one of the finest options available. This bestseller holds up to 13 beer cans and 16 pounds of ice. But he can pack whatever he wants to keep cool, thanks to its top-tier insulation and leakproof design.

Best for the Dad Training for His Next Marathon

15. lululemon License To Train Lined Short 7”

lululemon

These soft, flattering cross-training shorts are made from 100 percent recycled bottles, which the environmentalist in him will love.

Best for the Cycling Fanatic

16. Echelon GT+ Connect Bike

Echelon

In a compact home space, this 54 by 24-inch bike fits in a corner but will be the centerpiece of his workout plans. This Echelon stationary bike has 32 resistance options, water bottle holders, an adjustable seat, and shoe clips and a toe cage. It’s compatible with the Echelon Membership, which comes with a free trial, which features tons of live and on-demand workout classes.

Best for the Binge-Watcher

17. Paramount+

Paramount+

So many shows are on this platform—he'll be riveted by original programming like 1883, Picard and Mayor of Kingstown—and this subscription allows access to live sporting events and streaming access to his local CBS station.

For the Dad Who Likes Loud Music

18. JBL Tune 510BT Wireless Headphones

JBL

If your pops loves listening to music (albeit a little too loudly), then these wireless on-ear headphones are a must. They come with Bluetooth 5.0 Streaming, and the ability to listen uninterrupted for up to 40 hours before needing a charge. According to one satisfied customer who's owned them for nearly a year, "I use them daily both for my work-from home job where I speak to people over the phone, and for listening to music, podcasts and talking to friends and family. They have never let me down! The microphone quality is excellent, and people tell me they can hear me perfectly even when I'm driving with little to no background noise."

For the Tech-Savvy Dad

19. Amazon Smart Plug

Amazon

If dad is someone who's very particular about lights and fans being off if nobody is using, then he'll make great use of this smart plug from Amazon, which is compatible with Alexa and uses voice command. He can even schedule all of his lights and appliances to automatically turn on and off as he wishes.

Best for the Guy with a Sweet Tooth

Levain

I recommend an assortment of each of Levain's fresh-baked specialties (chocolate chip walnut, dark chocolate chocolate chip, dark chocolate peanut butter chip and oatmeal raisin). These softball-sized cookies have become famous in NYC and beyond for their size and gooey interior, and this way, he won't have to hop on a plane—or wait in line—to savor the treat.

Best for the Dad Who’s, Like, Really into Bird Watching

21. Wasserstein Bird Feeder Camera

Amazon

As dad has gotten older, he may have started talking your ear off about the birds that come to visit in the backyard. That’s why he’ll be super excited to receive the Wasserstein Bird Feeder Camera this Father’s Day, a high tech take on your classic bird feeding mechanism. When it’s hooked up to a security camera (not included), he’ll be able to get up close pictures and videos of his beloved bird friends and plants.

For the Dad Who Loves the Outdoors

22. Gsl Outdoors Gourmet Kitchen Set 11

Gsl Outdoors

If dad is a diehard lover of the outdoors, scoop, scoop him up this kitchen set, which includes a range of all the cooking utensils needed to whip up an excellent meal while surrounded by nature's finest. From a spoon and spatula for frying, to a waterproof spice holder with four different compartments, he'll be all set for his next camping adventure.

For the Dad Who Likes to Camp

23. Rei Co-op Junction Bag

Rei

Since I'm on the topic of dads who like the outdoors, how about grabbing him a bag for his snacks, water and accessories, since he can never remember to buy one on his own? This bag is just the right size to stow a 32-ounce Nalgene (or other water bottle), as well as other camping must-haves. Plus, it's water resistant and the straps can easily be positioned on a bike, so he can take it on rides, too.

Best for the Music Lover

24. Apple AirPods Pro

Apple

If he’s still using his circa 2016 headphones, bring him into the modern era with some AirPods Pro. He'll wonder what he ever did without them.

Best for the Camping Expert

25. Solo Stove Bonfire

Solo Stove

S'mores and weenie roasts all around with this portable smoke-free firepit that's sleek—and safe—enough to enjoy everywhere from the backyard to the beach. And at around 20 pounds, it's easy to just grab its carrying case and take it anywhere you can hike to. The special design pulls hot air from the wood-burning flame back down to the flame, eliminating smoke and making it faster to light the fire.

For the Dad Who Likes Fancy Chargers

26. Courant Catch 2 Essentials

Courant

This charger zaps up to two devices back to life and eliminates the tangle of bedside or desktop wires he's always having to sort through. And the coated Belgian linen covering looks sleek no matter where he places it.

Best for the “I’ll Fix It” Pops

27. Rak Magnetic Wristband

Rak

Keeping track of all those pesky nails and screws can be insanely annoying, which is why the RAK Magnetic Wristband is a total game changer for dear old dad. Using the highly magnetic wristband, he’ll be able to securely hold onto a myriad of tool accessories.

For the Golfer Dad

28. Peter Millar Hales Performance Jersey Polo

Peter Millar

Since dad has already become somewhat of a professional goffer, consider nabbing him a brand new stylish golf polo for the season. This one comes with nine different color choices, and is made with a soft antimicrobial jersey fabric that's also built with UPF 50 properties. Meaning, he'll be comfortable and protected from the sun when he hits the course.

Best Grooming Set for Men

29. The Shop Face Routine Pack

Uninterrupted

You don't need to know everything about men's grooming to get him exactly the right thing needed to make him feel like a brand new man: Grab him this routine pack set which comes with a face wash, shaving cream, after shave toner and face lotion. Reviewers say that this has seriously upped their grooming game.

Each month, he’ll get four new bags of premium artisan jerky delivered straight to his door, depending on which subscription level you pick. The best part about Jerky of the Month Club? Its extensive variety of both brands and flavors.

Best for the Dad with a Newborn

33. Blue Bottle Coffee Subscription

Blue Bottle

He'll appreciate the humor in your gifting him some caffeinated support, in case that new little bundle of joy on the way doesn't let him get enough shut-eye. Treat him to a weekly or monthly subscription from Blue Bottle Coffee. If you choose the blend assortment, he’ll get to sample new beans with every shipment.

Best for the Guy Who Likes Cooking

34. Digital Meat Thermometer

Imsaferell

Cooking connoisseurs can use a handy meat thermometer, whether they realize it or not. This one comes with a large, backlit screen that helps you see in scenarios where there's too much or too little light, along with reading temps in both celsius and fahrenheight. My favorite feature? That it's super easy to clean. Just use a soapy cloth, give it a rinse, and you're good to use it again.

Best for the Jeopardy! Watcher

Brass Monkey

Becoming a dad presents a lot of challenges, and this book is here to help. It covers everything from how to construct an emergency diaper out of a towel, sock and duct tape to how to stay awake at work. Yeah, it’ll give him a few laughs along the way too.

Zyllion

Envision this: You’re hanging out with your dad, having a grand old time, when he starts complaining about his back pain. And he doesn’t stop complaining because he’s your dad, and dads love to complain.

64. HP Sprocket Studio Plus WiFi Printer

HP

If dad still likes getting pictures the "old school way," this wireless photo printer is a great one, according to PureWow executive editor Alexia Dellner. "I'm getting this for my husband but truthfully, it's a gift for the whole family," says Dellner, adding: "We have a bajillion photos of our kids on our phones but we never do anything with them! With this clever device, we can finally print those snaps out and frame them or put them in a photo album. I'm planning on printing out some cute family photos before Father's Day and using them to make a card. I know he's going to love it (OK, and me too)."

A LEGO gift set is the perfect Father's Day gift for Dad according to Dellner who says: "Do dads every really grow up? My husband's been talking about getting himself an adult LEGO set for a while, partly because he loves LEGOs but also because there's something very meditative about building your creation brick by brick. With projects for every interest (Star WarsArchitectureCars!), there's something for every type of dad. The only problem will be keeping the kids away from his set!"
