The best Father's Day gifts are the ones that show love and appreciation, and often, they’re things he wouldn't buy for himself. So when it comes to finding the perfect present, consider his interests: Is he a whiskey aficionado, a top chef or a well-groomed gentleman? Figuring out his favorite hobbies—or helping him discover a new passion or two—is always a great place to start.
The best Father's Day gift ideas include a cozy sweatshirt, a chic cordless charger and a clever ... [+] breakfast sandwich maker (linked).
From gourmet backyard barbecue supplies for the grillmaster and rugged camping essentials for the outdoorsman to a handsome wallet and sleek sunglasses for the style-savvy dad, we’ve gathered the best Father's Day gift ideas for all the dads on your list—over 70 of them, in fact. As a reminder, Father's Day is Sunday, June 18, so there's still time to get Dad something extra special.
Williams Sonoma
Gift your family's grillmaster with a personalized steak brand. Exclusive to Williams Sonoma, you have the option to personalize with single, double or triple initials.

You can select from over 50 pre-written messages when choosing your 12 reasons, making this a sweet gift from the whole family.
Man Crates
Whiskey lovers will rejoice when they open this personalized whiskey making kit by Man Crates. The dad you're celebrating may enjoy a fine whiskey, but now he can age it himself with his own custom wooden barrel. Included with the American White Oak barrel is a stand, bung and spigot, as well as an instruction booklet, barrel cleaning kit, paper funnel and essence bottle.
Uncommon Goods
What's better than storing his favorite whiskey in his own personalized oak barrel? Although small, Dad will be able to accelerate the aging process due to the barrel's strategic proportions. The oak encourages three distinct flavors: lignan, lactones and tannins.
Kilne
Good knives are the foundation of any kitchen and this set from Kilne delivers (it's not just good, it's fantastic). Likely the sharpest knives Dad will ever use, each piece is made of high-grade German steel and has a fully forged construction, meaning the blade is one piece all the way through the handle. The set includes a chef's knife, santoku knife, serrated bread knife, paring knife, kitchen shears and a sharpening steel neatly tucked away into a magnetic acacia wood knife block.
Overstock
Celebrate Father's Day with a friendly game of ping pong. You’ll create memories with a gift the whole family will enjoy for years to come. This game set is foldable for easy travel and includes two paddles and four ping pong balls. You’ll be able to jump right into a game after opening gifts with this complete set.
CAMP
For the Dad who wants to say it loud and say it proud, this cozy hoodie is a worthy gift for Father's Day. With its casual, lived-in feel and "Dadurday" logo, it offers the best of both worlds: practicality, with a dad joke built in. "My husband regularly reaches for this sweatshirt, which is cozy with a broken-in feel," shares Karen Tietjen, our updates editor.
Larq
The self-cleaning water bottle from Larq is a groundbreaking gift for any dad on the go. Whether you’ve seen the brand on Shark Tank or it's your first time learning about it, this is one gadget that's actually useful. The UV-C LED light purifies water while the self-cleaning mode turns on every two hours ensuring your water is continuously filtered. Plus, the bottle's double insulation helps keep the beverage cold for 24 hours (or hot for 12).
Amazon
What's Father's Day without a few classic dad jokes? If the father in your life is the king of puns and relishes in his wit, this cheeky set from Word Teasers will make his day. The deck comes with 150 cards and serves up family friendly jokes for everyone to enjoy. From new dads to grandfathers, it's the perfect gift for those who always want to have a joke in their back pocket.

It's ready in just five minutes with minimal cleanup needed.
High Camp Flasks
Perfect for packing wine, whiskey or pre-made cocktails on any outdoor adventure, this sleek stainless steel set comes in three muted metallic colors and features a leak-proof cap and vacuum insulation to keep drinks chilled or warm.

Grovemade
This MagSafe charging stand is a stunning way to hold Dad's iPhone securely in place magnetically. It's made with a machined brass or steel base and sanded hardwood that looks like a piece of art. It's available in three finishes including walnut and maple and it'll be right at home on his desk. Head's up: It requires an Apple MagSafe Charger ($31), which isn't included.
NOMATIC
Does Dad still commute to work? If so, the Nomatic Messenger Bag might be the perfect accessory for day-to-day as well as carry-on duty, transforming instantly from shoulder bag to briefcase. The magnetic shoulder strap buckles are worth the price of admission on their own, but it also has quick-access exterior pockets, a magnetic water bottle holder and a TSA-ready laptop compartment.
Harry and David
Why get him a box of chocolates when you can get him a whole tower of chocolate sweets? Harry and David's classic chocolate gift features layers of sweet treats like Moose Munch premium popcorn, chocolate covered cherries, mints, malt balls and more. Hey, maybe he’ll even share some with you.
YETI
This Yeti soft cooler will become Dad's new favorite accessory for beach days, fishing trips and tailgates. It's big enough to hold 30 cans of beer or a whole day's worth of meals, if he packs efficiently. And don't worry about it leaking—this model features a 100% leak-proof zipper that shouldn't break no matter how hard he tugs it closed.
Best Buy
Thanks to this golf watch, your old man can keep score right on his wrist while he's out on the course. When he's done playing, he'll be able to see his total distance played, total time and score. It also provides yardages to the front, back and middle of the green, as long as he's playing on one of the over 41,000 preloaded courses.
Nordstrom
Forget about endless products to achieve the perfect shave. This 3-in-1 Beard Lube from Jack Black serves as a pre-shave oil, shave cream and after-shave conditioner. Plus this dermatologist-tested product is free from parabens and sulfates, making it a top pick this Father's Day.

Bearaby
Give stressed out dads the gift of relief with a weighted blanket. Unlike most weighted blankets that are filled with beads, the Insta-famous Bearaby Napper is knit with soft, breathable and eco-friendly organic cotton. Bonus: It also looks beautiful as a throw when it's not in use.
Herschel Supply Co
For those trips to the beach or work softball games, every dad can use a high-quality cooler bag. Herschel Supply Co. has expanded its line to include coolers as part of its Insulated Program. Available in nine styles, there's a color and pattern combination for every father.
Smythson
While everything seems to be digital nowadays, there are some people who still—gasp—carry cash. If Dad is one of them, step up his wallet game with Smythson's gorgeous four-card style. It has a smooth calf leather lining and also comes in four solid colors, including this dark khaki version (above). You can also get it personalized with his name or initials.
Material
These aren't Dad's regular kitchen scissors. Made using German stainless steel, Material's Good Shears are almost indestructible, incredibly comfortable, easy to clean and surprisingly interchangeable with his sharpest knife. So whether he's snipping herbs, butterflying chicken breasts, slicing pizza or busting open Amazon packages, these shears are up for the task.
Overland
Every guy needs a good Dopp kit—a classically styled toiletry bag for all the items he takes on the road. Overland's Legacy American Bison Leather Travel Kit is made from deeply textured leather in a rich, dark walnut finish with elegant antiqued brass hardware. It looks every bit as rugged as it is, and inside, the plaid interior has ample room for whatever toiletries your favorite stylish man needs to carry with him.
Oura Ring
This Father's Day, give Dad a ring that's sleek, modern and helps improve his health. The Oura Ring is a health and sleep monitor that looks nothing like technology, but it's packed with sensors to keep him meaningfully informed about his wellness. "I really like that Oura Ring provides a broad overview and real time personal analysis," says staffer Jason Rich in his full-length review. "The most useful insight I’ve discovered so far is that maintaining a consistent bedtime and wake-up time directly impacts my daily energy and alertness level."
Rendell Co.
Crafted with 100% cotton denim that's as durable as it is stylish, this classic bib apron gives ample protection from all the inevitable splatters and messes in the kitchen or at the grill. Plus, the roomy pockets are great for holding everything from dishtowels to screenshot phone recipes.
Einova USA
These days, everyone needs a wireless charging pad for their smartphone and earbuds. Dad deserves one with a little more panache than the typical hunk of plastic, though. Wireless Charging Stones from Einova are carved from genuine marble or stone and look stunning, yet are Qi-certified for fast charging for virtually any wireless charging phone.
Walmart
Whether Dad is looking to unwind post workout or simply just wants to relax, Therabody's Theragun portable massage gun will be a lifesaver. Theragun uses percussive massage therapy to help treat muscle soreness, relieve tension and reduce pain. The mini version is ideal for traveling thanks to 150 minutes of battery life and its QuietForce technology for minimal noise. The helpful tool is designed with an easy to hold grip and comes with three different speed settings.
Amazon
You can't go wrong with fancy glasses and Dragon Glassware's designs are both unique and affordable. Take, for instance, this duo of diamond whiskey glasses, which Dad will love displaying on his home bar. If he's more into brews, you have to check out the brand's Upside Down Beer Glasses, too.
Dango Products
If Dad's wallet is starting to look tattered, it may be time to upgrade. Check out Dango Wallets, which are constructed to be tough, tactical and versatile—plus, they’re made in the USA. Take the D03 Dapper Bifold, for instance: Designed with a slim profile, it features an aluminum card slot with a push notch, pockets, an interior license viewing panel and an elastic strap to keep everything in place. It's also RFID secured, making it great for travel (and general everyday security).
birddogs
The weather is getting warmer, so it's officially time to upgrade Dad's khaki game with Birddogs "Uncle Bucks" shorts. Made from modern, breathable fabrics with built-in briefs, once he tries these, he’ll never go back. It's the comfy, casual bottoms he never knew he needed.
Sonic Editions
One unique gift idea—especially for the guy who has everything—is a framed print. Sonic Editions features photography collections in categories that include music, sports, film, cars and travel, so you’re bound to find a photo that fits his fandom. On the site, you’ll discover unexpected artwork, like this "Beatles Taking A Dip" snapshot, which will class up his man cave (a win-win if you ask us). Says Karen Tietjen, our updates editor, "I have a Sonic Editions print and the quality is excellent. I love the brand's unique selection of photography for adding affordable art to my home (or giving as a gift for someone else's)."
Courant
Courant's wireless chargers offer a stylish way to stay charged. The Catch:3 is bound in leather and has a drop tray for stashing trinkets. That means he can juice up his tech and empty his pockets all in one place (and there's no special charging cases required). "My Catch:3 is stylish and functional—I use it to charge my phone and AirPods almost daily," says updates editor Karen Tietjen.
Ooni USA
Recommended by many Forbes Vetted editors, the Ooni oven is the ideal way to step up his pizza game while baking pies in 60 seconds. The Ooni Koda 12 fits 12-inch pizzas and runs on gas, but these outdoor pizza ovens come in a selection of sizes and fuel types to fit Dad's pie-slinging style.
Uncommon Goods
There's something about hot sauce that dads seem to love and for the father who likes everything spicy, this Make Your Own Hot Sauce kit is the ideal gift.

Solo Stove
A favorite brand among Forbes Vetted staffers and readers (and featured in our best fire pits story), Solo Stove fire pits are portable so he (and his friends and family) can sit around the fire anytime, anywhere. It's also smokeless for cleaner, more comfortable breathing. Whether he takes it camping, on a beach vacation or keeps it in the backyard, it’ll be Dad's favorite gathering place. Bonus: The brand's cheeky Fire Starter Cards—yes, they’re meant to be burned—are free and qualify for free shipping with your $99 purchase.

For the dad who likes to look good and smell fresh, look no further than Creed's Green Irish Tweed fragrance. One of the brand's most popular scents, the cologne mixes woody and masculine notes including lemon, verbena, sandalwood and more. Bonus points if dad is Irish.
Pottery Barn
There's nothing quite like the nostalgia of a beautiful record player. Perfect for the music-loving dad, Crosley's C6 Turntable plays at two different speeds. It's also available in a walnut or white finish with a sleek clear box cover. Throw in one of his favorite old records and he’ll be grinning ear to ear.

Not only will it last him a lifetime, it's something sophisticated that he’ll want to wear all the time.
Amazon

L.L.Bean
If Dad is always planning the next family camping trip, L.L.Bean's lightweight folding chair is the perfect accessory. It's also fantastic and easy to carry around at sporting events, outdoor summer concerts and beyond. He’ll find a use for it, guaranteed.
Recess Pickleball
If Pop is the type who's always up on the latest sports trend, he's undoubtedly played a pickleball match or two. Get him a cool set of his own pickleball paddles, so he can play anytime, anywhere. This 4-paddle set by Recess allows you to pick the style, making it feel that much more personal.
Ulta
Most dads don't spend a lot of time and effort thinking about their skincare routine.

It's also compatible with essentially every skin type, so he's bound to love it (and the results) even if he keeps it to himself.

Plus, it comes with extra brush heads so he doesn't have to worry about refilling for a while. His daily routine will thank you.

Williams Sonoma
There's nothing quite like a home-cooked meal, and there's really nothing quite like handmade pasta. Give dad access to the best of both worlds with Imperia's old-fashioned, Italian pasta machine. It comes with two rollers, giving him the option of a solid sheet pasta, fettuccine or linguine.

Blue Bottle
If he's more of an iced coffee guy, opt for Hario's cold brew bottle that lets him set it and forget it. All he has to do is fill the filter with ground coffee, add fresh water and refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours (overnight is often the best strategy) for a full bottle of the good stuff.
Loftie
Loftie's alarm clock really does it all. To discourage Pop from using a phone in the bedroom and encourage a better night's sleep, the clock has app-free settings and sounds and a gentle, two-phase alarm for a soft wake. It even has added features like white noise, breathwork and meditation to help promote total rest.

Even more, it's machine-washable, so Dad is spared that costly trip to the dry cleaner.

Amazon

Plus it's so small, he can still use his phone while it's charging, unlike other clunkier power banks.
Amazon

Amazon
For fathers that love cracking open a good book, the Kindle serves two purposes: To gift them another way to enjoy reading, and to make sure they can take a library of content on the go.
