what to give for Father’s Day this year

Father, husband, father-in-law, Grandpa, uncle, brother, son, nephew, best friend, mentor, next-door-neighbor – the men in your life have surely done a lot for you over the years.

Lots of people can play the role of Dad in our lives – a person we go to for advice, encouragement, and a lesson on how to change a flat tire. So, when we think of Father’s Day gifts, we like to imagine that you might want to give a lovely thank-you to lots of precious people in your lives – one of whom might be your biological father.

Whoever’s on your list this Father’s Day, when it comes time to revel in his fatherly glory, we think he deserves something a little extra-special.  Come on: there are only so many times you can present him with a tie, sweater or tool kit, dear reader.

On that Sunday in June, especially this year, we think he deserves to feel appreciated and pampered.  To help you from gifting him with same old, same old, we’ve pulled together a fresh round of gift ideas to show him just how much you appreciate all he’s done for you. 

No tool kits, no ties, no sweaters. And just one never-fail golfer pick.

From a stylish new pair of Dad shoes to a futuristic phone charger and a one of a kind game controller, here are 24 different ways to say “Thanks, Dad.”

1. techie dads

Lexon’s Oblio Wireless Charging Station & Sanitizer ($80) is a double whammy of a techie gift.  Not only will it wirelessly charge dad’s smartphone. It also sanitizes it using built-in UV LED technology. 

Give him technology on the go with a Levi’s Trucker Jacket outfitted with Jacquard by Google ($198) so he can stay connected without ever having to look at his phone.

Gillette’s Heated Razor ($200) from Gillette Labs is the latest in razor tech and features a self-heating razor, mimicking the experience of a nice hot towel shave.  It’ll go great with a can of soothing shaving cream. 

All dads just seem to love having full control over the household light situation, right? We have no idea why. It’s just a Thing with them. Sengled’s Smart LED Multicolor Bulbs & Hub ($65) will give him that and more. Dad can create light settings ranging from candlelight to sunset. It comes in over 16 million colors, and it works with both Google and Alexa.

2. sports enthusiasts

You can’t go wrong with gifting dad a dozen Dixon Fire Golf Balls ($75) if he’s a golfer.  These eco-friendly golf balls were designed for professional golfers looking for the highest level of performance in feel, spin, distance and durability. 

Whether dad’s a fitness buff or just dealing with daily aches and pains, help him limber up with Therabody’s Thergun Mini ($199).  It’s percussive therapy will  gently ease cramping and tightness in only a few minutes no matter where he is, thanks to its portable compact size.

For the dad who keeps his hiking boots well worn in, consider an ENO DoubleNest Hammock ($70) for him to relax in along the trail.  It also works great in the backyard on a sunny afternoon. 

And if dad is a runner, rower, cyclist or anything in between, an armband to hold his phone is always a good idea.  LifeProof’s LifeActiv Armband with Quickmount ($25) holds every type of phone and ensures their touchscreen is always accessible.

3. foodies

Lots of dads like beer, right?  A uKeg GO ($99) from GrowlerWerks will ensure he always has a fresh ice-cold beer with him wherever he goes – be it a picnic, campsite or even just the backyard. 

Speaking of which, elevate your dad’s grill skills with a cut of the most sought-after beef on the planet: a Japanese A5 Wagyu Steak ($349) from Holy Grail Steak.  Holy Grail carries a wide range of top quality meat from which to choose, including filet mignon and ribcap steaks.

A Fuego Box Small-Batch Quarterly Hot Sauce Subscription ($112) will help to keep his taste buds happy all year round. Whiskey lovers might enjoy a bottle of Legent Bourbon Whiskey ($40). This bourbon has a very cool backstory. It was created by the mastermind behind Jim Beam and the mastermind behind Suntory whisky. It’s a mix of Japanese and Kentucky styles.

4. stylish dads

For a dad who loves good footwear – or one who might need some extra encouragement to ditch the raggedy old New Balances, give him a futuristic pair of Tod’s Shoeker/02 ($695) in High Tech Fabric. 

Switch up his cologne with Bleu de Chanel ($72), a lighter Eau de Toilette with notes of cedar, grapefruit and sandalwood.

These iconic Wayfarer Sunglasses ($169) from Rayban are always a good idea. And now you can even get them engraved.  In tortoiseshell, they’re both timeless and versatile, two words that dads tend to like a lot. 

Want something truly no-regrets? A Prada Wallet ($460) with a subtle logo never goes out of style.

5. frequent flyers

He may be working from home now, but the time will come when he will have to hit the road again.  You can’t go wrong with a Rimowa Classic Cabin Case ($970) to replace his worn out suitcase. The aluminum is a classic never-fail choice. 

All road warriors know that a good night’s sleep can be a luxury, but a Cashmere Eye Mask ($135) from Derek Rose will help to make it a little easier to ensure it’s as restful as possible.

Upgrade his toiletry bag with a cool Leather-Trimmed Camouflage-Print Canvas Wash Bag ($250) from Mulberry. When he uses it every every morning out on the road, he’ll be thinking of you. 

Help him drown out the noise during flights with a pair of Sony Noise Canceling Headphones WH1000XM3 ($350).  These wireless headphones have superb noise-cancelling capabilities and phenomenal sound and battery life (28.5 hours at normal volume.)

6. gamers

If your dad is into gaming, consider ordering him a Custom Xbox Controller ($70 and up) from the Xbox Design Lab. With full color customization, this is a creative way to give dad a one-of-a-kind gift. 

Or give him an Oculus Quest VR Gaming Headset ($399) so he can get lost in his own world, without needing separate hardware to do it.  Dads need “me time” too, right?

For the less tech-inclined Dad who nevertheless still loves games, consider a chic deck of cards for his weekly poker nights. It’s the dealer’s choice, and we’re opting for Tiffany Metallic Playing cards ($100). 

Finally, since dad has given you everything (with the help of mom, ahem) why not go for the moon and give him a limited edition Louis Vuitton Foosball Table.  It will only set you back a cool $75,500. He’s worth every penny.
