What do dads actually like? Is there any gadget he doesn't already own? Are all of his favorite things yard- or garage-related and therefore extremely boring to shop for? All valid questions, and while I don't have all the answers (and agree that buying gifts for parents can be a minefield), I do have tons of trusty product recs for any and every type of dad. So, keep scrolling for the 53 best dad gifts from daughters!
Pro tip: If seems like he already bought everything he wants, use this opportunity to put him into some of your fave things—like a Stanley cup and a pair of AirPods. Or if he’s less of a fun shopper and more of a practical guy (ugh), snoop through your family Amazon Prime history to get a feel for the boring useful things he’s been meaning to purchase, whether it’s a multi-tool keychain or a portable power station. Hey, I know you don't love it, but he will, okay?!
Keep scrolling for a list of functional, unique gifts for dad from daughters including cool gadgets, yummy sips, the best-smelling candles, and so much more. Grab any of the extraordinary gifts for men below, and you’ll become his fave child, guaranteed.
Does your dad complain about not being able to see his show properly on his smartphone? This is the gift for him. Make everything bigger with this screen magnifier he can use for his phone. Whether it’s watching shows or reading an article, he’ll appreciate not having to reach for his pair of glasses.
This massager will give him the relaxation he needs after a long day. With soothing heat therapy and vibrational massage, don’t be surprised if he falls asleep .2 seconds after pressing start.
If he has special memories at the Grand Canyon, Mt. Rainier, or Diamond Head, these whiskey glasses are an excellent themed gift. They're also great for any guy who has no particular attachment to those specific mountains but just likes the outdoors, lol.
No more guessing—this tape measure has a little screen that'll give Dad perfect measurements every single time.
I'm sure he'll love this one!!! No, but really, he'll get a kick out of this. Perfect for your upcoming family vacay.
This tiny tracker is ideal for dads who have, um, a tendency to lose literally every important thing they own. His keys and his wallet, for example. The AirTag sends out a Bluetooth signal that can be detected in the Find My iPhone app, so he can track down its exact location!
Why are dads so itchy all the time? Never mind, all that matters is that this extendable back scratcher will put an end to his misery.
Your dad knows everything, of course, but he'd probably like to learn more. This book will help him load up on random factoids (necessary for peak dad vibes).
He gets out the ice cream every night without fail—might as well gift him a spoon for his daily appointment with Ben & Jerry!
Like father, like daughter! If you get him his own Stanley, he might finally understand why you've spent so much money on them. Plus, it'll actually fit in his car's cup holder.
Almost everyone has AirPods at this point, so get him on the bandwagon with this pair.
If this smart mug has been in his shopping cart for months, here’s your sign to buy it. Your bank account might suffer, but your dad is worth the splurge <3.
Upgrade his go-to T-shirts with this durable long-sleeve one from Carhartt. He’ll love how easy the fit is, and it comes in more than 20 colors, so it’ll go with literally anything in his wardrobe.
The handyman in your life can do some serious consolidating with this mini multi-tool—it includes a bottle opener, screwdriver, ruler, wrench, and bit driver.
Ensure his cooking is always at its prime thanks to this meat thermometer. It’s a gift for you and him.
Don’t ask me what it is about espresso machines and dads but it's a match made in heaven. Mine has never appeared more excited than he is when he’s waking me up with a cup of joe.
Where would we be without dad jokes? As cringe as they might be, we love them. The good, the bad, and the ugly—we’ll take them all! Inspire your pops to crack some more jokes with this book.
Because dad is secretly just a really big kid with a pension and a couple of games on his phone! This controller has a built-in, tripod-like phone holder for convenient gaming.
Dad won’t accidentally have the same ball marker as his buddies anymore (phew!) thanks to this Star Wars-themed clip that secures right onto his hat.
How freaking cute would it be if you dug up an old drawing from way back when and popped it onto a leather wallet for a super nostalgic (yet useful) gift for your dad?
