Father’s Day Gifts That Are Sure To Put A Smile On Dad’s Face!

Don’t look now, but Father’s Day is right around the corner! Now if you’re a procrastinator like me, you probably haven’t even started stopping for dear old Dad yet, right? But not to worry, as our Father’s Day Gift Guide contains a selection of great Father’s Day gifts that are sure to be a hit with your old man, no matter what your budget is.

Now that we’re adults, we ca no longer get away with a “World’s Greatest Dad” coffee mug or a tie (who even wears ties anymore?!). It’s time to get Dad something that he really wants and show him how much he means to you. Check out these Father’s Day gift ideas, and hopefully one of these will be the perfect gift that shows him how just much he means to you.

If your Dad is anything like mine, he probably wears those grass-stained New Balance sneakers of his everywhere he goes. It’s time to up his style game (and lower your embarrassment level) with a pair of modern sneakers that still offer him the comfort that he’s looking for, but with a more polished look for when he’s going out and wants to look nice.

The KURU ROAM is an iconic court shoe that’s reimagined for modern comfort. This timeless, classic sneaker dresses up or down effortlessly for any occasion. What’s more, they’re insanely comfortable, as every KURU features shock-absorbing KURUCLOUD, heel-hugging KURUSOLE, arch-supporting ULTIMATE INSOLES, and roomy toe boxes for pain relief beyond belief. I’ve been wearing these for awhile now, and not only do I love the way they feel on my feet, but they get compliments galore on their good looks! ($135)

If Dad is someone who can’t make it through a day on a full charge and relies heavily on all of his tech (phone, tablet, laptop, etc), a small power bank is a must-have. Sleek, lightweight, and efficient, these devices ensure your gadgets are always powered up on-the-go. But you need to make sure you’re choosing a power bank that meets your needs.

The Anker Prime 27,650mAh Power Bank is an absolute powerhouse, with its 250W multi-device fast charging capability. It boasts 2 USB-C ports and 1 USB-A port, capable of powering up a MacBook Pro 16″ to 50% in just 28 minutes. It’s remarkably compact, the size of a soda can, yet packs a substantial 27,650mAh capacity—enough to charge a 13-inch MacBook Air 1.28 times or an iPhone 14 about 4.67 times. A digital display shows you what’s going on, and the Anker App offers smart control of your power bank. What’s more, its TSA-approved to be taken on airplanes as carry-on baggage. ($150)

Who doesn’t love a stylish pair of sunglasses, am I right? Elevate Dad’s style and vision with the Meridien H2O Polarized Sunglasses from DRAGON. Reflecting the spirit of retro surf heritage, these sunglasses boast a sleek rectangular shape that exudes a maverick personality. The unique concave design of the temples adds an aura of refined sophistication.

One of the coolest features of DRAGON’s H20 sunglasses is that they feature a molded resin material that has a lower density than water, allowing them to float in the sea or pool, so you won’t have to worry about losing them, should they fall off while you’re in the water. Plus, they’re polarized, protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays and reducing glare, enhancing visual clarity and contrast. These are my go-to sunglasses for beach days, I can’t recommend them highly enough. ($219)

Has Dad joined the pickleball craze? I’m not gonna lie, I actually started playing pickleball last summer and it’s incredibly fun! I picked up a cheap paddle initially, but once I decided that I was going to stick with it, it was time to invest in some better paddles. And after doing some research to find the best pickleball paddles, I discovered Pickelball Apes.

Pickleball Apes helps players of all levels dominate on the court. From beginners to seasoned pros, these are the pickleball paddles to have on hand to elevate gameplay. The collection features carbon fiber surfaces and non-slip faux leather grips for increased control. The Neo Line One paddle is ideal for beginners, featuring a wide-cell Polypropylene core that is thick and forgiving, designed to absorb impact and enhance control over every shot made. ($70)

For more experienced players, the Pro Line Energy paddle features an elongated handle that’s designed specifically for the double-handed backhand, while the Pro Line Energy S paddle is new and feature a wider paddle surface, giving players a bigger sweet spot. Both are made with sourced from DuPont Kevlar and Toray T700 Carbon Fiber for strength and resilience. While I’m a step above novice level, I feel like this paddle has noticeably improved my game. ($150)

Summer is right around the corner, so why not get Dad a stylish shirt that encourages him to enjoy every moment of life while feeling the island vibe. Madda Fella is a Key West-based brand that’s all about color, comfort, and quality, and it shows in its entire collection. He’ll look sharp and feel comfortable in the brand’s essential linen shirts, bottoms, outerwear, swimwear, and more.

The trend towards casual attire is catching on, but just because it’s casual doesn’t mean that men won’t love the vibrant patterns, cool stripes, and soft textures when enjoying life’s special moments at home and on travels. Guys wear the vibe well with the offerings below and feel like a million bucks! They’ve got a whole selection of clothes to choose from, but I’m partial to their Cotton Dobby Shirt, an elegantly designed, casual seersucker long sleeve button-down shirt styled with accent features that highlight an island lifestyle. Crafted from breathable cotton dobby fabric, it offers the perfect blend of style and comfort. ($145)

Sweeten Dad’s special day with a delectably fudgy Father’s Day gift basket of Belgian chocolate brownies, cookies, and blondies from Fairytale Brownies! All of their treats are baked from scratch with the finest all-natural ingredients and absolutely no preservatives or trans fats. And let me tell you, they’re freaking DELICIOUS! We got a large box to try out for ourselves, and everyone in the office raved about how great they were. 😋

All of their brownies, cookies, and blondies are luxuriously rich and bursting with flavor – the perfect present to let Dad treat himself. Each gift box arrives gift-ready in a handsome Happy Father’s Day band alongside your personalized gift message, and every tasty treat inside is individually wrapped for freshness. There are a multitude of boxes to choose from, so you can choose just the right treats for Dad to enjoy. ($34-$118)

Did you know that according to the National Institute of Health, long or repeated exposure to sounds at or above 85 dBA can cause hearing loss? As someone who sees a lot of live bands, I can’t tell you how many times I come out of a venue with my ears ringing, wishing that I had remembered to bring ear protection of some sort. The same goes for sporting events (like NASCAR or F1), as those cars put out some crazy noise!

The folks at EARPEACE offer a wide variety of earplugs that reduce the decibels but NOT the experience. Their NPR MUSIC PRO earplugs are great for concerts and live music, packed with their high-fidelity filter in 20dB. The music will be crisp with no distortion. You’ll still hear your friends talk, but the crowd noise will be reduced. It’s also super comfortable, so much so it’s easy to forget that you’re even wearing them. And it comes with a convenient aluminum carrying case that you can attach to your keys, so you’re never without them. ($40)

There’s no better way to cool off during those hot summer months than with a set of DOZ by SIJO Cooling Bamboo Sheets. DOZ sheets are one of the most durable sheets on the market and offer the ultimate softness & lightweight, featuring cooling, buttery-soft and moisture-wicking bamboo viscose material made from certified organic and sustainably farmed bamboo to help you achieve better sleep night after night.

DOZ bamboo sheets are great for anyone who sleeps hot, sweats in their sleep, or resides in a relatively warm or humid location. The fabric is highly breathable and also has moisture-wicking properties to keep you dry and comfortable all night long. A 300-thread count makes the sheets smoother and softer than cotton sheets with 1000-thread count. Exceptionally soft and comfortable, this bamboo bedding feels incredible on the skin. The buttery softness and low friction finish is also great for sleepers with sensitive skin. ($65+)

If Dad is someone who likes spending time in the great outdoors and doesn’t mind getting a little dirty, he needs a pair of great boots. The Original Muck Boot Company‘s been keeping people’s feet warm and dry for 25 years now, with the most protective, most comfortable, most reliable boots that can withstand the muckiest situations on the planet.

Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a hunter, a farmer, a gardener, or someone who works in snowy/icy conditions, quality boots are an absolute necessity, and they have got boots for every occasion. The Chore is their OG, keeping workers protected, dry, and comfortable in both warm and cold environments. They’re also available in safety toe options, multiple heights, and closure systems, including boots with rear gussets that deliver an extra 5 inches of calf space for optimal fit and comfort. (Prices vary)

The COOFANDY Men’s Knit Button Short Sleeved Vintage Polo is a button-down polo that is sure to heads anywhere Dad goes, with its hollow knitted fabric texture and vintage contrast design. And he’ll get lots of use from it, as classic solid colors never out of fashion.

I really like this one, it’s the perfect shirt for summertime. Pair it with linen pants, shorts, or jeans for daily and casual style. Or rock it with a tank top or t-shirt underneath as a cardigan for personalized summer style. It’s casual and simple, without losing the retro charm. It’s a great shirt that can be worn for all kinds of occasions, and with a price that won’t break the bank, he can get multiple shirts in different colors that he can mix and match. ($25)

Does Dad need to up his selfie game? Then you need to get him a Ringo, an innovative water bottle that will not only keep him nice and hydrated, but it also magnetically holds a phone. No more asking a stranger to take your photo or frustration that your smartphone didn’t stay propped up against your bag.

The idea is quite genius. With a 90-degree hinge and adjustable positioning for both portrait and landscape use, Ringo ensures that your device is always at the perfect angle for that selfie, zoom call, or timer’ed group photo. Honestly, the uses are endless. Entertaining kids, keeping your phone off of the sand at the beach, using it at a bedside alarm, recording your tennis practice, your golf swing, your wake-surfing, using it to help you navigate while driving, etc. And it works whether the bottle is full or empty. It’s a total game changer! ($60)
