Buying the best present for Mom is typically pretty tricky—but in our experience, finding a good gift for Dad (or any father figure, for that matter) is notoriously difficult. He’s usually claiming that he already has everything—or, even worse, that he wants nothing. Making things even more complicated is the fact that there really isn’t any gift in the world that’s worthy of all he’s done for you. From attending every one of your Little League games to giving sage advice on relationships, your dad is always there for you, and Father's Day is the perfect time to show him how much he means to you.
But fear not—you don't have to buy your dad yet another boring tie that he’ll never wear. Whether you’re shopping for Father's Day, the holidays, his birthday, or just because, it's always a good idea to focus on something he’ll not only love but, more importantly, use. If he likes to cook, that could mean something practical (like a new grill) or unique (like a DIY hot sauce kit). If he works long hours and could benefit from relaxation, you might get him a game-changing massager or some comfy joggers so he can enjoy his downtime. Is he super active? Consider high-tech headphones or cool sneakers. And if he spends every Sunday glued to ESPN, a cozy blanket could do the trick. Oh, and these gifts work for any dad—your own, your grandpa, or even your spouse (with a card signed by your kids, of course).
To help you get your shopping started, we’ve rounded up the best gifts for Dad, including sentimental ones and pampering treats for any new dad, plus plenty of Amazon bestsellers (you know, for last-minute gifting). Make sure this holiday season is the best one yet.
