• Why Trust Verywell Family

Designed with a 360-degree rotation, the Tryone Gooseneck Tablet Holder Stand ranks high on our list because it's sure to come in handy for Dad. It fits more than a dozen types and sizes of tablets and even phones. Simply mount the stand to a table, bed, or kitchen counter, and then bend the flexible arm to find the desired angle.

This lightsaber is a must-have for dads who love Star Wars. The brand sent one of our writers a sample of the lightsaber, and it’s awesome, impressive, and downright fun to use (and look at). The set includes a Hasbro Star Wars The Black Series Luke Skywalker Force FX Elite Electronic Lightsaber, hilt, and display stand.

Dad will appreciate the lightsaber lights and realistic sounds that will make him feel like he's in a galaxy far, far away. May the Force be with you (or Dad, at least).

Whether Dad works from home or at the office, he'll love having warm or hot coffee all day long at his convenience. With the Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2, users can pick their drinking temperature for either a 10-ounce or 14-ounce mug size, which can be controlled via a smartphone app.

Available in an assortment of colors, the mug keeps liquids hot for up to 80-90 minutes thanks to a charging coaster. Just keep in mind the mug must be hand-washed.

No skewer, no problem! These innovative grilling baskets are made with steel wire and a hardwood handle. Four individual baskets allow you to prepare separate dishes for guests, family members, vegetarians, or kids.

Dads with any style can rock the Cariuma Oca Lows. The husband of one of our writers sports these shoes (green canvas, specifically) after the brand sent her family matching pairs (kids included!). We love the organic mamona oil and cork insoles that are comfortable for full-day wear.

While there’s no wide option for the shoes, the canvas material is stretchy enough to accommodate larger feet. In addition to canvas, the shoes come in suede, leather, and mixed materials—all in dozens of color options and sizes 5 to 13.

Bonus: Cariuma plants two trees for every pair of sneakers sold.

A great gift for a techie dad, this all-leather case will protect his AirPods from scratches and falls. The smart design showcases the LED charging light on the front, and a metal clasp lets Dad attach the case to his backpack, belt loop, or anywhere else.

If Dad is known for his power nap abilities, this is the gift for him. The immersive head pillow feels like a cocoon. Dad can nap at his desk, lounge at home, on the plane, or anywhere else without moving an inch. Slip it on, and he’s off to dreamland.

Put Dad in charge of his gift with Sugarwish. While gifters choose the type of box Dad receives, like treats or drinks, Dad selects the exact goodies he wants. One of our writers received a sample code for Sugarwish and sent a customizable box to her husband for Father’s Day.

For example, if you select a candy box, Dad will receive an email—at the time of your choice—to select from more than 70 candy options, depending on your selected gift size. Gift boxes come in six sizes, mini (two choices) to grande (party size), at a variety of budgets. We love the beautiful colors and fun design on the box that take the place of wrapping paper, while the customized card is one less thing to buy for any occasion.

A perfect addition to any bar, these alcohol-free pre-mixed ice cubes are ready to mix with Dad’s favorite alcohol or seltzer. Each set comes with 12 individually packed cubes that are perfectly measured and easily mixed. Pop them in the freezer until co*cktail hour!

If Dad loves snacks, give him something new to munch on. He'll receive a gift box full of snacks from a different country every month. Each box contains a wide variety of snacks and a 12-plus page booklet that guides each eating adventure with trivia, recipes, and other surprises. Give as a gift for one, three, six, or 12 months.

Play to Dad’s competitive streak with this fun and active two-on-two game that’s played with rules similar to volleyball. It’s perfect for some family fun indoors, on the beach, in the yard, at the park, or anywhere else. The set and all the elements pack up into the included backpack.

Dads who love to wet their whistles will enjoy Uncle Nearest’s 1884 Small Batch Whiskey. Each batch of whiskey is hand-picked by the company’s founders and then curated by a fifth-generation family member who signs each bottle when she’s finished. This 93-proof bottle of whiskey is aged for a minimum of four years and can be enjoyed alone or in a favorite co*cktail.

Whether Dad is a beginning cook or head chef in the household, he’ll love having help from Blue Apron. The company sent one of our writers two boxes (BBQ and crab themes), and they were chef-kiss worthy. Choose from three gift card amounts—$70, $140, and $280—so Dad can customize the meal plan of his choice or shop the company’s “market” for spices, kitchen tools, and more. The best part? Blue Apron gift cards don’t expire or carry fees.

Get Dad’s skin in prime shape with a classic maintenance skincare set. The set includes a moisturizing balm, charcoal cleanser, and exfoliating rub—all perfect for a fresh-faced dad.

Designed with 88% recycled polyester and 12% spandex, these pants are sure to make any dad feel comfortable while lounging at home or out and about. Available in sizes Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large, these pants feature a hidden pocket in the front for a cell phone and a zip pocket in the back for any other necessities.

For the dad who makes every meal preparation into his very own version of Chopped, this super sharp kitchen knife is a dream. With a 2.5-millimeter dimpled blade, the knife is designed to glide through foods without any sticking. Dad will be able to use this knife as a universal kitchen tool because the 8-inch length is perfect for chopping, slicing, dicing, and cutting.

If Dad loves beef jerky, he’ll love these mini beef sticks from Country Archer. The grass-fed beef sticks contain four grams of protein each and zero sugar and taste delicious. We love the flavor (just ask our writer who received samples from the brand) and the small size that’s pocket-friendly.

Keep friends and family toasty anywhere with this wood-burning fire pit. Made from stainless steel, the HotShot fire pit can be used for camping, vacations, or any other activities Dad loves to do. It weighs only 14 pounds and comes with a carrying case for easier portability. Plus, the double-walled fire pit includes special technology to reduce the amount of smoke put out.

The Ninja Air Fryer just might become Dad’s favorite kitchen gadget, whether he's prepping a delicious lunch for himself or the kiddos. Enjoy the tasty results of air frying, which uses up to 75% less fat than traditional frying methods. The 4-quart basket is extra large, and all accessories are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

With this gift, wherever Dad goes, he’ll always have a seat to rest on and a supply of cool drinks available. The highly-rated folding backpack chair is only 3.3 pounds and can support 331 pounds. Multiple pockets stash Dad’s stuff, and comfortable shoulder straps ensure a great fit.

If Dad is a breakfast sandwich dude, this gift is a no-brainer. With one gadget, he can enjoy a hot, homemade breakfast sandwich in just 5 minutes. Put the ingredients in and the sandwich maker assembles the sandwich itself.

Give Dad the gift of style. Made with ZQ Merino wool, these shoes are machine washable, come in several different color options, and are moisture-wicking. They're available in sizes 8 to 14, and even come in women's sizes if any moms out there want a matching pair.

A one-stop set for all shaving needs, the set includes a foaming shave gel, three five-blade cartridges, and a weighty zinc razor handle. For an added touch, get Dad’s initials engraved on the razor.

Some dads like it hot—hot sauce, that is. The Truffle Hound Gourmet Truffle Hot Sauce is handmade from scratch with all-natural ingredients, like organic ghost pepper and chile de arbol, and has no preservatives, gums, sugar, colors, or soy. It’s a low-sodium, gluten-free hot sauce dads will surely put on everything.

One of our writers received a sample of this hot sauce to pair with GrownAs* Truffle Vegan Mac and Cheese, and to say the two pair beautifully together would be an understatement. Our writer’s husband loved the medium heat of the hot sauce combined with the creamy cheese from the mac and cheese.

Comfortable and stylish, this fleece jacket is a perfect light layer that's sleek enough to wear on its own or under another coat. Made of 100% recycled polyester, the classic jacket has three pockets to store all of Dad’s stuff.

If Dad is working from home for the foreseeable future or needs to upgrade his office setup, this is a very useful gift. Unlike other standing desks, this one is almost ready to go right out of the box. Simply place the converter on his existing desk, attach the keyboard and feet, and create some instant active standing.
