Last Minute Amazon Gifts 2024 hero
Dasha Burobina for PureWow

What can I say about dear old dad? Whether he made you a Deadhead for life, gave you your deep-seated appreciation of the great outdoors or taught you how to change your own tire, he's the best. Now, his big day is approaching and fast—Father's Day 2024 is June 16, after all—which means it's crunch time when it comes to gifting. I'm certainly not sweating it, however, thanks to a little thing called Prime two-day shipping. Whether dad's into the latest and greatest tech products (OK, OK, that upgraded mini projector, $58, is pretty cool) or he appreciates a good old-fashioned game of chess ($29), you'll have no trouble finding it at the retailer. And, to help you speed things along, I've done the legwork for you, rounding up the best last-minute Father's Day gifts Amazon has to offer—the majority of which will be on his doorstep in two days or less.

When it comes to buying a good Father’s Day gift, you really can’t go wrong if you keep his interests in mind. Consider what he's into: Does he like relaxing at home? Get him some new slippers ($130). If he's the rugged type, outdoorsy items that will satisfy his hobbies or home DIY urges will be a hit. Always snacking? How about a jerky bouquet ($60)? Frequent flier? There's a toiletry case (was $53, now $44) for that. Most of all, give from the heart—a sweet gift will show him just how much you appreciate all that he’s done for you.

Still stumped on what to get the man of the house? Peruse the selections below to absolutely wow him for this year’s celebration.

For the Dad Who Loves Water Bottles

1. Owala 'Star Wars' FreeSip

Owala

Dad probably already has a plethora of water bottles available at his disposal, but does he have one that subtly nods to one of the most iconic movie series of all time? I think? I think not. Made with stainless steel and featuring a specialized spout designed for easy sipping, the double-wall insulation on this baby will keep his drink cold for up to 24 hours. Plus, it's also BPA-and phthalate-free, meaning it's super safe for him to drink from.

For the Grill Master

2. Poligo BBQ 7-Piece Grill Set

Poligo

Has your grill master dad been using the same set of tools since you were a child? If so, it's definitely time for an update—and why not make it one with personality? Gift him this fun, golf-inspired grilling set, which comes with a barbecue spatula, power grill tongs, a grill fork and more. Sturdily made with stainless steel, the set is priced at $50 (which is a major steal considering all you get), and is highly rated for its fun, whimsical vibe. "Bought this as a stocking stuffer for my son, and we were surprised at his immediate response of how cool he thought it was," raves one buyer.

For the Dad Who Likes Comfy Sandals

3. Oofos Ooahh Slide

Oofos

With summer quickly approaching, dad's going to need a comfortable recovery shoe to walk around in if he's taking a vacation, leaving the gym or just simply doing work around the house. These slides come highly-rated for their comfort and effectiveness, as they are built with impactful technology which, per the brand, "offers more impact than traditional footwear foam materials to reduce the stress on your feet, joints and back." Don't be surprised if you suddenly see him wearing these all the time.

For the Dad Who's a Kid at Heart

4. 'I Love Dad with the Very Hungry Caterpillar' Book

Eric Carle

You're never too old to enjoy a fun picture book. Let the kids surprise Dad at bedtime with a new story to read aloud, one in which The Very Hungry Caterpillar will show him just how much he is loved and appreciated. It's a unique and creative way that will make him all mushy inside (even if he tries to pretend he isn't).

For the Dad Who Is Hard to Shop For

5. Amazon.com Gift Card

Amazon

If dad is nearly impossible to shop for, your best bet might be to get him a gift card. It allows him to be the one to choose his own present, and Amazon gives you five different decorative gift boxes to package them in for extra razzle dazzle.

Play up dad's fun side with this crab-inspired utensil rest, which will hold a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, keeping his counter drip-free as he cooks. (Bonus: The crab's claws are heat-resistant.) As one shopper says, "this is such a fun little tool. It works perfectly for what it's designed for, is well made from great material and looks absolutely adorable in the kitchen."

Best for the Paddlesport Aficionado

7. Panelsound Pickleball Paddles

Panelsound

Pickleboard is the hottest paddlesport around right now and dad can join in on the fun with these USAPA-approved set of paddles. They feature an electric lightning bolt pattern and have a honeycomb core that’s made to be lightweight-yet-durable. They’re also equipped with an anti-slip grip to help him properly attack the ball. Aside from the two paddles, he'll get four indoor balls, a carrying case and two cooling towels with your purchase.

Best for the Grill "Master"

8. Meater Plus Meat Thermometer

Meater

Even if dad says he knows when the steak has hit medium rare just by eyeballing it, he could probably still use a little help. This wireless meat thermometer has two sensors that can monitor both the internal and external temperatures of whatever it is that he’s grilling, plus, it connects to  a phone app that will ping him when it's just right, so he won’t overcook the bird while he's gabbing with Uncle Larry. It’s also dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup and comes with free Amazon tech support in the first 90 days, though shoppers note that it can take a while to hear back from the team.

Best for the Dad Who Yells ‘Fore’

9. Perfect Practice Putting Mat

Perfect Practice

Help him work on his short game during breaks at the office with this mat. With a standard hole and one that's slightly smaller, he and his colleagues can challenge themselves to see who can sink the most putts  like the pros—after all, this is the official golf-putting green of PGA star Dustin Johnson. It will be great practice for the course—or your next family mini golf outing.

For the Dad Who Likes to Relax Outside

10. Fdw Zero Gravity Lawn Lounge Chairs 

Fdw

If he likes to relax outdoors, then he'll certainly appreciate these highly rated folding lawn chairs, which boast an easily adjustable head rest, cup holder trays and a zero-gravity recliner that's designed to gently lean back, providing support while reducing pressure on your back. What's more, the chairs are well ventilated, so he'll get plenty of airflow as he's sitting in hot temps.

Best for the Watch Guy

11. Orient Leather Bambino Version III  Watch

Orient

This simple watch from Orient is a sleek option for the guy who doesn’t “do” smart watches. Its minimalist face shows just the time and the date to keep things nice and straightforward while its real leather band elevates the quality. It also comes in an included gift box, meaning it will arrive ready to be presented. It’s also water resistant up to 100 feet, though it’s best not to swim with it regardless.

For the Dad Who Likes Pizza

12. Piezano Crispy Crust Pizza Oven 

Granite Stone

If he likes homemade pizza, he'll be able to get some good use out of this miniature countertop pizza oven. It heats a pie up to 800 degrees F, so you can get that coveted bubbly crust a typical oven can't replicate. And it bakes a pie in six minutes flat. "This oven delivers just as advertised," one Amazon reviewer says. "We baked a store-bought frozen pizza in it, followed the oven instructions, and it baked up wonderfully. Seriously, this oven gets HOT. It's easy to use, though, thanks to the descriptive instructions and warnings."

Best for the Dad On-the-Go

13. Herschel Chapter Toiletry Kit

Herschel

It’s time for dad to graduate from the gallon-sized plastic baggy he's been stuffing in his suitcase for his shampoo and the like for years. This bag from Herschel not only looks good, it's also waterproof, holds 3 liters of stuff and has an internal mesh storage sleeve to keep the little things (toothpaste comes to mind) separate. “I do move a lot and this thing is definitely a must-have for not only all of your bathroom needs but also cables, headphones and anything else that you want to easily reach and use, cause it has a pocket in the front,” one shopper raved.

Best for the Tool Hoarder

14. Carhartt Legacy Tool Bag

Carhartt

Whether dad likes to tinker in the garage or is known amongst  his buddies as Mr. Fix-It, this Carhartt bag will definitely come in handy. Everything will have a place thanks to the large main compartment, 23 exterior pockets and 11 interior pockets. It’s made of  a super durable sturdy synthetic fabric that is water-repellent, too, so he won’t be concerned if it gets wet while he’s fixing a clogged sink.

Best for the Well-Groomed

15. Designer Cologne 12-Piece Sampler Set

Multiple

Not sure what scent dad will like best? Thanks to this sampler set, it won’t matter, because he’ll get 12 designer vials of cologne to choose from on any given day from brands such as Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and more. Each vial ranges from .02 to .05 ounces (the larger sizes will have enough for about 15 sprays), so he’ll be good and stocked for awhile—just note that the exact samples may vary based on stock, so if you’re looking for a particular scent, you may be better off buying a bottle directly. 

Best for the One Who Takes Grilling Seriously

16. Everdure Cube Portable Grill

Everdure

Yes, a grill can be a last-minute gift—especially if it’s this cooler-sized tabletop option. Beloved by both novice and professional grillers alike, this charcoal-powered design provides smoky flavor with plenty of heat. While the company claims it can fit six small burgers or three medium-size steaks, reviewers say it’s a bit smaller (one said three burgers is more realistic). Still, the majority loved it for tailgates, family barbecues and even compact decks. Shoppers say it gets hot quickly, so be careful when handling the top and sides, or better yet, use the stay-cool handles, which *actually* stay cool. It also has enough room to store a mess kit underneath.

For the Dad Who Has Allergies

17. GermGuardian Air Purifier

GermGuardian

This highly rated four-in-one air purifier is perfect for the dad who has allergies. Boasting over 9,000+ five-star reviews for its ability to reduce airborne germs and viruses, filter odors and trap allergens with a True HEPA filter and optional UV-C light, this purifier works for medium to large-sized rooms such as bedrooms and other living areas. "I've had several other air purifiers lately, including towers from Holmes and Honeywell, but this one is definitely the best," says one happy reviewer, who adds: "I've been using it in my bedroom for about a week now, and since then the air quality has really improved; not only am I sneezing and waking up less, it just SMELLS crisp and fresh in the room. I'll be buying another larger one for the main living areas soon." Sounds like a winner in my book.

Best for the Practical Dad

18. Leatherology Leather RFID Wallet

Leatherology

It’s time to give dad a major upgrade to his barely-holding-it-together wallet. This pure leather one is slim enough to fit in a back pocket, but still manages to fit six credit card slots, a single bill compartment and two interior pockets inside for maximum storage. It's also available without or with RFID technology to keep scammers from getting his credit card information.

Best for the Top 40 Dad

Bose

Whether he bops his head along to top 40 radio or constantly preaches about how good music used to be in the '70s, a dad who likes to jam deserves to hear his playlist wherever he goes. This waterproof, Bluetooth speaker has incredible sound, according to the more than 18,000 5-star reviewers who love it, and is built for durability, so he can use it in his garage, take it camping or listen to it on the beach—it even floats in water! He'll also get a reported 12 hours of play time, so the tunes will never run out.

Best for the Lounge-Lover

20. Southpole 1570 Joggers

Southpole

If I were the betting type, I'd venture to guess that dad will be slipping into these as soon as he gets home from work—and we wouldn’t blame him. Happy buyers say these ones have a soft, cozy interior, and there's a cinch-cord waist for custom comfort. "Listen y'all, these aren't pants. These are warm, soft clouds that just sorta hover around your lower body," wrote one reviewer. Big and tall sizing is available, and you also can’t beat the price point if you’re buying on a budget.

Best for the Handyman

21. Parigo LED Flashlight Gloves

Parigo

Whether he’s walking the dogs at night or trying to see what fell under the fridge, these gloves will come in handy (pun intended). There are two bright LED lights at the thumbs to cut through the dark and the glove material is reportedly stretchy enough to fit most hands. It’s one of those things he never knew he needed, but will love.

Best for the Backyard King

22. Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 

Solo Stove

There’s nothing quite like gathering around the bonfire to cap off a perfect summer day—especially if dad has a Solo Stove. This portable stainless-steel container makes it easy to ignite a flame, and the double-walled design maximizes airflow for a better, less smoky, fire (the latter part of which we can attest to after trying the original Bonfire model). That means pops won’t have to tend to the fire all night long (unless, you know, he wants to.) This new-and-improved version also comes with a removable ash plate that he can easily lift to clean out. 

Best for the Movie Buff

23. Auking Mini Projector

Auking

There are few things better than getting everyone together for movie night, but it will be  extra enticing on a “big screen,” which dad can make possible with this genius mini projector. It features a 1080p full HD resolution for an ultra-clear picture and is capable of producing a picture of more than 16 feet wide. Thanks to its HDMI and AV cable outlets, he can also use it with a TV stick to watch the big game or to play video games. It’s portable, too, so he can bring it on vacation or when camping to watch it under the stars: Just note that he’ll need to connect it to his phone or laptop to stream said films.

For the Basketball Lover

24. Pop-a-Shot Arcade Basketball Game

Pop-a-Shot

Help dad relive his glory days with this old school Pop-a-Shot basketball game. With ten different gaming options and two baskets, it's great for letting off steam solo or showing off dad's skills to the kiddos on the dual-player setting. There’s also the option to run it through a power cord or with batteries, so it won’t be hard for him to move if mom relegates it to the garage (though it also folds up for storage). It comes with four mini balls to get him started and a 12-month warranty in case of any issues—just note that you (or someone else in the household) may need to help him get it set up, according to reviewers, who say it’s a two-person job.

Best for the Dad Who Likes His Coffee Black

25. Stanley French Press

Stanley

If dad's a bit of a coffee snob, a French press will be right up his alley. This one's made of stainless steel, so it's nice and tough (Stanley claims it's "built for life" and backs it with a lifetime warranty). Better yet, according to the company, it will keep your father's cup of joe warm for him for up to a whopping four hours. It’s dishwasher-safe and at less than 3 pounds, it’s light enough to take on vacay, too, so he’ll never be without a strong cuppa.

Best for the Dad with Aches and Pains

26. Theragun Mini

Theragun

There are some aches and pains that a foam roller just can’t just reach. With three speeds and up to 20 pounds of percussive pressure, the Theragun Mini will finally have him saying “ahhh.” This thing will go to town just about anywhere, from his cripplingly sore shoulders to his cramped-up calves, and thanks to its ergonomic design, it won't be piling on additional pain in his hand. Unlike the brand’s larger models, it’s also small enough to take on-the-go at just 1 pound.

For the Dad With a Sweet Tooth

27. Tate's Bake Shop Cookies Variety Pack

Tate's Bake Shop

Dads with a sweet tooth will love this curated cookie basket from Tate’s Bake Shop, which includes two bags of caramel chocolate chip cookies, and two bags of regular chocolate chip cookies for his enjoyment. If you would like a gluten-free option, you can check it out here.

Best for the Family MacGyver

28. Rak Magnetic Wristband Set

Rak

Dad will seriously appreciate not having to get down off the ladder to grab a few nails every 30 seconds thanks to this magnetic wristband. It has ten powerful magnets to ensure that screws, nails, bolts, washers and drill bits won’t fall off as he’s deep in a DIY project. The strap is adjustable too, so it won't be a nuisance while he works.

Best for the Dad Who Needs His Morning Fuel

29. Brooke & Jess Designs Papa Bear Coffee Mug

Brooke & Jess Designs

Soon to be dubbed dad or grandpa’s favorite mug, this adorable camping-style cup has Papa’s name right on the side, so no one will steal it. Since it holds a whopping 14 ounces of java, he won’t be due for a refuel before his morning brew runs out, and its heavy-duty ceramic should be nice and sturdy, as long as he handles it with care.  As one helpful shopper pointed out, “It could be used for a nice cup of soup, too,” in colder weather.

Best for the Dad Who Likes the Finer Things in Life

30. Tushy Classic 2.0 Bidet Attachment

Tushy

Dad deserves the very best, and that includes an elevated bathroom experience. You can upgrade his toilet into a fancy bidet like the ones they use in France with this simple attachment. Happy Amazon buyers say it’s super easy to install (he’ll feel very handy doing it) but if he does run into problems, it’s got both free Amazon tech support and a 12-month warranty.  Its custom water pressure options will give his tush a nice spritz while he's on his royal throne and it’s relatively eco-friendly, too: According to the company, it uses just 19 ounces of water, while roughly 9.8 million trees are cut down each year to make toilet paper in comparison.

Best for the Dressed-Up Dad

31. Tavato Tie Set

Tavato

One can never have too many work ties, and this set not only comes with three new ones he’s sure to love, it comes complete with three matching pocket handkerchiefs, four tie clips and four cufflinks, plus a knot book to remind him how to tie them. It even comes in a gift box, so it will be ready to go upon arrival. While the cuff links weren’t as high of quality as some would have liked, most reviewers said this set is of a nice quality overall, and he’ll think of you every time he slips one on.

Best for the Active Dad

32. Fitbit Luxe Activity Tracker

Fitbit

Dad doesn't have to wear a cumbersome, bulky device on his wrist to track his health. This sleek fitness tracker is slim and unobtrusive but still manages to give data on important markers, like steps walked, calories burned, heart rate and even stress level. This little beauty will also track the sheep he counts at night. (Warning: Dad may start pacing around the house to meet his goals.)

Best for the Beard Enthusiast

33. Braun Series 9 Pro 9419S Electric Shaver

Braun

If your father's beard situation has gotten a little... well, hairy, in his work-from-home  phase, it’s time to tame things up a bit. With a flexible head and five sharp blades, this razor aims to offer the perfect shave, every time. It’s waterproof, so he can use it wet or dry with whatever foams and gel he prefers, and it's equipped with a "sonic technology" that the company claims will cut dad's shaving time down by ten percent versus other leading premium shavers.

Best for the Homebody

34. Olukai Leather Moloa Slippers

Olukai

Dad may want to wear slippers all the time, but he doesn’t have to look like he’s wearing them. With a leather exterior, these pass for chic loafers, but are lined with a soft shearling that his frigid toes will thank you for as he strolls through the heavily AC-ed Costco for the third time this week. There's a rubber outsole, so he can take out the trash in them, and the heel folds in, just in case he feels like rocking them in slide form. There’s also a gel insert for extra comfort at the foot. Note that this one may or may not arrive by the big day, so best to prep a backup card, just in case.

Best for the at-Home Comedian

35. 'The Essential Compendium Of Dad Jokes' by Thomas Nowak

Dad Jokes

OK, OK, so this one might be a little late (it’s expected to arrive by June 22), but it’s too good to pass up for the dad who cracks himself up. And sure, he may have a few jokes up his sleeve already, but if you've been hearing the, "Hey, hungry, I’m Dad" bit for the last 12 years straight, it’s probably time for him to expand his repertoire. This book comes with a mix of 301 new wisecracks, including twists on the classics, as well as a few much-needed pointers from legendary dad jokesters. If nothing else, it will give him a chuckle on a glum day.

Best for the Classic Dad

36. Vineyard Vines Heritage Polo

Vineyard Vines

When in doubt, polo it out. If you’re truly stuck on what to get the patriarch of your family this year, you can never go wrong with a classic polo. This one’s made of a breathable cotton/polyester blend that will work perfectly for the office or the golf course. There’s also tons of colors to choose from.

Best for the Dad Who Needs to Focus

37. Bose Quietcomfort 45 Noise-Canceling Headphones

Bose

Though he may love the idea of AirPods, if dad just can’t keep them from falling out of his ears—aka losing them—these over-the-ear headphones will still let him cancel out the world when he needs to with their incredible noise-canceling capabilities. There are two modes to choose from—quiet, which blocks out all other noise, and Aware, which will help keep him safe if he's crossing a street or waiting for the bus. They also provide great sound, according to the buyers who love them, are quite comfortable and won’t slip off. Plus, Bose claims the battery will run for a full 24 hours straight.

Best for the Couch Potato

38. The Comfy Blanket

The Comfy

Move over, Snuggie: There’s another wearable blanket that we cannot get enough of—and we'd be willing to bet dad won't be able to, either. It’s extremely cozy (we'd take it over cashmere any day) with a colorful fleece microfiber on the outside and a fluffy sherpa on the inside. You can also get one with dad's favorite team on it, so he'll never have a reason to take it off.

Best for the Nostalgic Dad

39. Crosley C6B-WA Turntable

Crosley

If dad's an old-fashioned kind of guy, he'll appreciate having a record player that plays music “like it’s supposed to be heard.” Available in six wood finishes, this turntable will connect to his Bluetooth speakers, so he can fill the entire house with the sweet sound of vinyl. Plus, the sleek glass casing will protect his favorite records from dust—or the cat.

Best for the Bookworm

40. Kindle Paperwhite

Kindle

If dad’s always got  his nose stuck in a book, he’ll undoubtedly appreciate having an e-reader that's much lighter than the 800-page hardcover novels he's been working with. This one's waterproof, so he can take it with him by the pool, and has been fitted with a larger screen. There's also a nice, warm backlight that's supposed to be easier on dad's eyes, so it will also be great to toss in his bag on his next work trip. You can get it with or without ads and in two storage options, though the lower 8GB option should be able to store between 3,000 and 6,000 e-books, according to Screen Rant.

Best for the Dad who Needs to Unwind

41. Zyllion Neck and Back Massager

Zyllion

You could give dad a trip to a masseuse—or, you can give him the gift of daily massages. This device offers a deep-tissue massage to really get into the kinks of his shoulders while he watches the big game, but it can really be used wherever he's got an ache. Plus, it’s heated, so he can truly unwind after a long day of doing dad things. I also like that it’s got velcro straps that will help keep it in place over his favorite chair—just note that it does have a cord, so he’ll have to use it near an outlet. 

Best for the Meat-Eater

42. Carnivore Club Exotic Jerky Bouquet

Carnivore Club

Mom gets flowers every year, and this year, it's dad's turn, thanks to this full bouquet of meat sticks. This high-quality arrangement of 20 comes in a variety of four different flavors: elk, buffalo, venison (mild) and venison (hot) for a unique gift he’ll never forget. The “You’ve Got Meat” note it comes with is just the cherry on the top.

Best for the Bird Watcher

43. Cronyoptics Binoculars

Cronyoptics

Dad can tell you the name of every bird that hops through the yard—so help him see them better with these lightweight, weather-proof binoculars. They're small enough to fit in his pocket, and they magnify up to ten times a bird's regular size. More than that, they have adjustable eye cups for comfort, are quick to focus (once you know how) and even come with a cleaning cloth and carrying case.

Best for the Early Riser

44. Hatch Restore Alarm Clock

Hatch

As you get older, getting to sleep can be increasingly challenging—even more so if you have kids. The Hatch Restore can help your pops get some precious shut-eye, since it functions as a sound machine that will gently lull him to sleep. Come morning, it also works as a sunrise clock, so he can gently rise with the “sun” instead of a blaring alarm if he has an early commute. The integrated app makes it easy to set to his sleep schedule, too: As one reviewer explained, “Restore has enabled me to establish a consistent nightly routine.”

Best for the Comfort Seeker

45. Crocs Classic Clogs

Crocs

In case you haven’t heard, Crocs are back, which means that dad just might be—*gulp*— in style after you pick him up a pair. Their main claim to fame, however? Comfort, comfort and more comfort, which means they’ll be just the thing for him to slip on when he’s doing yard work or picking the kids up for carpool duty. The rubber sole is non-slip, so he can safely wear them to clean out the pool, and at less than $50, you can nab a pair for yourself, too. (I won't tell.)

Best. for the Gamer

46. Nintendo Switch

Nintendo

The Nintendo Switch knows no bounds in terms of entertainment, regardless of his age, and you can get dad one just in time to play the new The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (was $70, now $58). He can play it as a console or bring it on his next camping trip as a handheld. Best of all, there’s plenty of multi-player games such as Mario Party Superstars (was $60, now $50), so the whole family can join in on the fun.

Best for the Forgetful Dad

47. Apple AirTags

Apple

If Dad is constantly misplacing keys, wallet and everything else, you’ll want to buy him this four-pack of trackers. They work with his iPhone to locate his items through the Find My app, similar to his other devices. If he sees they’re close by but can’t quite track them down, the tag will play a sound on its built-in speaker to alert him to its location. Thanks to you, he’ll never be late for work again! (Psst: Get the matching keychain here to up the gifting ante.)

Best for the Cocktail Guy

48. Bartesian Professional Cocktail Machine

Bartesian

Any cocktail aficionado will be obsessed with this machine, which is essentially a Keurig for mixed drinks. Dad can simply insert the cocktail capsule of his choice, choose his desired strength and add his favorite liquor (there are four glass containers to hold gin or rum, whiskey, tequila and vodka). From there, he’ll just need to press a button to make the drink-making magic happen. Not sure which pods he might like best? Check out our official ranking guide here .

Best for the Jokester

49. Kimdee Tortilla Blanket

Kimdee

The dad who loves to laugh will delight in wrapping up like a big old burrito in this hilarious tortilla blanket. It’s made of warm flannel material, so it will actually keep him warm during family movie night, too. Some have said it runs small, however, so opt for the 80-inch version to be on the safe side. The delivery date of this item is also unlisted, so if you want to make sure your gift arrives on time, it may not be your best bet.

Best for the Breakfast Sandwich Guru

50. Hamilton Beach Dual Breakfast Sandwich Maker

Hamilton Beach

Help him to make McGriddle-like breakfast sandwiches at home with this ingenious cooking gadget from Hamilton Beach. It features a layer for meat and cheese, a spot for cooking eggs and two places for toasting bread slices for the easiest sandwich assembly ever. Essentially, this baby will streamline breakfast without the need of a drive-thru, and its removable parts are dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.

Best for the Intellectual

51. Chess Armory Wood Chess Set

Chess Armory

A chess set makes for a great pastime that you can enjoy with the dad who wants to school his kids with strategy. The wooden pieces are made to be stored within the case itself,  but the pretty construction is aesthetic enough to leave out on a table, too. Additionally, each piece is felted so they won’t fall over easily. One reviewer who works as a woodworker noted that the hinges don’t line up exactly, however, which means that the board may not line up perfectly, so you may want to invest in a pricier model, like this one from Muba, if dad is a true chess connoisseur. 

Best for the Daredevil

52. Family Adventure Challenge Book

Family Adventure

For a gift the whole family can get into, look no further than this family Adventure Challenge book. Filled with 50 unique tasks that involve everything from making a mess out of the kitchen as a “cat burger” to setting up a backyard movie night, it's designed to bring you closer to your clan (and dad in particular). Each challenge will be a surprise until you scratch off the directions, and if you play according to the rules, there will be no “take backs” or “skips.” The active dad will love leading the group through each exercise as its fearless leader.

Best for the Dad with a Competitive Streak

53. Catan Board Game

Catan Studio

If Dad hasn’t played Catan yet, he’s in for a major treat. Made for three-to-four players, this settler-themed strategy game has participants aiming to collect the most resources to build up their towns. Once they get going, it is on. Fair warning, though: There might be some family feuds by the end of game night, particularly if dad's got a competitive streak.

Best for the Coffee Connoisseur

54. Café Du Monde Coffee

Café du Monde

Forget Starbucks: If dad’s a java bean snob, nothing less than a can of the world-famous Café Du Monde’s coffee will do. While beignets aren’t included, this 13-ounce can of the company's French Roast (it’s also available in a chicory flavor, $49) means he can enjoy the shop’s best beverage at home—just note that it may be too finely ground for a French press.

Best for the Great Outdoorsman

55. Camping Journal

Camping Journal

The worst part of family camping trips? They go by too quickly. But thanks to this thoughtful camping journal, dad will be able to relive the best moments from each one, over and over again. It’s got writing prompts to help him put his thoughts to paper and comes with 120 pre-formatted pages that will allow for plenty of room. There’s a section for amenities, so he can keep track of which sites are his faves, and even a spot for photos to match up with each trip.

Best for the Working Professional

56. Pegai Leather Portfolio

Pegai

Make sure dad’s legal pad game is sharp with this real leather portfolio. In addition to its legal pad pocket, it’s got room for a pen, his business cards and an extra pocket for document storage. You can even get it customized with four letters ($7) or eight ($9), though it will add delivery time that may push it past Father’s Day.  You’ll also have to buy an 11.5-inch by 8.5-inch legal pad separately, but let’s face it: Dad’s worth it.

Best for the Beer Lover

57. Brooklyn Brew Beer-Making Kit

Brooklyn Brew

Let dad become the master of his own fridge domain with this fun and engaging beer-making kit. Available in six different flavors, he can churn out his own IPA, wheat or even chocolate maple porter with the included equipment and a little know-how. A pro tip? Print the detailed instructions for him off of the website, since they don’t come with the kit: Reviewers say he’ll want to follow them to a tee to get the best-testing brew. He’ll also need a few extra things, including a strainer, a funnel, a pot and bottles if you want to go the extra mile to help get him started. 

Best for Mr. Fix-It

58. Gerber Gear 15-in-1 Multi-Tool

Gerber

Dad will love being able to say “I can fix that” on account of his new multitool. It has everything he may need to quickly save the day, including spring-loaded pliers, a wire stripper, a medium flathead driver, an awl, a file, a ruler and more. There’s even a little pocket clip to keep it within arm's reach. As for the quality, the company’s limited lifetime warranty speaks for itself. 

Best for. the Road Tripper

59. ‘50 States, 5,000 Ideas’ by National Geographic

National Geographic

If he wants to show you all of America, this book will provide plenty of inspo on exactly where to start. Featuring detailed ideas from the experts at National Geographic, it includes everything from tips on the best state parks to more unique off-road adventures, like museums or Civil War battlefields. With this baby on hand, he can guide you from the world's longest yard sale in Tennessee to dinosaur trails in Colorado—there’s truly something for everyone. While we like the spiral version, if you’re worried about getting it in time, you might want to opt for the paperback ($15), which is eligible for same-day Prime shipping, or even the Kindle version ($13), which can be delivered instantly to his Kindle library.

For the Dad Who Needs a Good Night's Rest

This temperature-regulating sheet set from Cozy Earth is a good choice for the dad who hasn't had a good night's sleep in well...forever. Delicately made with bamboo, the set also includes a flat top sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillowcases, which in addition to the comfort, will give his king-sized bed a much-need makeover.
