Can someone explain why it feels like mission impossible when the time comes to shop for a good gift for Dad during important dates like, say, Father’s Day? For me personally, it's because whenever my dad thinks of something that he wants or needs, he immediately buys it for himself. But maybe your dad just isn't a big shopper and doesn't really know what he wants. That's why we’ve put together this list of the best Father’s Day gifts just for you!
Whether you see the big guy every day or live thousands of miles apart, there's a gift you can give to him (or ship via Amazon Prime) that'll make him smile. Whether he's a middle-aged triathlete, a total gadget nerd, an outdoorsman who has no interest in anything with a screen, we’ve got a unique gift idea that will speak to his soul. From inexpensive gifts that he’ll use every day to pricier options that he’ll want to break out for special occasions, be prepared to feel the love and appreciation when your dad opens one of these amazing Father's Day gifts. <3
This might just be the most thoughtful gift out there for the history buff in your life. You simply enter a special date (like, let’s say, his birthday) and a collection of historic New York Times covers from that day will be compiled into a sleek coffee table book. You can even emboss his name into the leather cover. Chic and personalized, I love it!
If your dad is a sucker for a cold soda or beer, this gift was basically made for him. Next time he’s in the mood for a refreshing drink, all he has to do is take one of these out of the freezer and his bev will stay nice and chilled thanks to the cooling gel insulation.
If you're like me, your parents' (or grandparents') attic contains one or more boxes of film negatives from years past. This nifty device scans them and turns them into digital files for future generations to enjoy!
It's time for Dad to break up with the crappy hotel room irons. This steamer is sleek, efficient, and doesn't require a massive ironing board to get all the wrinkles out of his suit.
You never know when someone will say something awkward at dinner and these emergency dad jokes will seriously come in handy to cut through the tension. Obviously.
I know you don't think this is very interesting, but remember, this is a gift for dad, not for you, and landscaping is an interest all dads pick up at some point in their lives.
Looking for the most dad gift to ever exist? This drone right here is the answer. The under-$50 device simply connects to his phone so he can control and maneuver it. Plus, it comes with a camera so he can record some super cool videos that he’s sure to brag about afterwards.
Is he always hating on your generation? And vice versa? If so, this game puts past and present pop culture knowledge to the test with fun trivia questions. Nothing like some friendly competition to put the boomer in your life in their place!
Is he in need of a wardrobe refresh? Speaking from experience, the answer is likely yes (no offense to my dad). This breezy shirt from Quince is the perf summer staple and it’s made from super lightweight linen so he’ll stay cool during the hottest of days. Grab him a few colors, and his style game = immediately elevated.
You must click through to see how this simple-looking duffle bag unzips completely to reveal that it can double as a garment bag for his suits.
Your dad’s new fave gift = unlocked. He will quite literally be obsessed with this foot massager that has multiple pressure settings, a heated option, and a timer so he can doze off while receiving top-tier relaxation.
Let’s be real, his flip-flops could use an upgrade. And these cloud-esque ones are sure to become his new go-to shoes. Plus, they come in literally every color imaginable.
This sleek ring is a Cosmo editor fave—for good reason. It tracks everything from your daily steps and heart rate to your sleep schedule and REM cycle. If he’s all about wellness, this ring is a true game changer for monitoring all his stats without needing to wear a smartwatch or carry his phone around at all times. So innovative!
Dad complaining about tightness and tension in his neck and back? This massager with a built-in heat feature will be his new favorite tool (and save him tons of money in the process!).
His favorite spirit would look so classy in a glass stacking set that comes with two cups.
Bring the golf course to the house with this portable putting green. All they gotta do is unroll the mat, unpack the balls, bring out their club, and they've got a mini-golfing area right in the comfort of their own home.
If he’s into grilling, he could always use an upgrade to his barbecue utensils.
Is the guy in your life obsessed with anything involving fitness? If so, this does-it-all tracker will be his new fave gadget, trust. It can sit on the wrist, bicep, or chest, and it provides detailed tracking of his heart rate and performance throughout any workout.
Pops can bring the heat wherever he goes with this lil tabletop fire pit. There’s a sleek steel burn cup inside the concrete cavity that your dad can fill with alcohol fuel (the brand recommends using their own bioethanol fuel or even rubbing alcohol!). It has a one-hour burn time and can produce flames up to 12 inches high, which is perfect for roasting marshmallows or mini hot dogs if he’s into that.
If he loves family game night, this gift will be an undeniable home run.
