Lucky for you, we’ve rounded up the 82 best gifts for dad, all guaranteed to stay in the rotation.

1. Acecool Air Fryer Oven 10-in-1
For the Family Dinner Chef
PureWow food editor Taryn Pire recommends this convection oven-style appliance since it can cook really for a crowd. "Whether you want to tackle meat, fish, veggies, dried fruit or even dessert, this appliance comes with ten preset functions that can do just about anything," Pire shares. She's also a fan of the big glass door: "So you can watch your food fry in real time and stop the cooking cycle if your veggies or tofu bites are looking browner than you’d like. Also, its size helps prevent burning in a way basket air fryers don’t; smaller air fryers heat much faster, so your food can overcook in a blink."
2. MasterClass Subscription
For the Curious Dad
A MasterClass subscription is the gift that keeps on giving. The online education platform will give your pops access to more than a hundred virtual classes and sessions led by industry professionals in various fields, from cooking to meditation. Basically, he can learn a new skill every day.
3. GeneralGreenesGifts Whiskey Decanter Set
For the Whiskey Loving Dad
Is he the host with most? He'll love this handmade whiskey decanter set. Choose between the decanter only or the complete set that also comes with two or four glasses. Add his name (or nickname) on the glassware so he can show it off to his friends when he has them over.
4. Retrospec Weekender 10' Inflatable SUP Board Kit
For the Guy Who Loves the Water
PureWow editor Candace Davison loves using this easily inflatable paddleboard, and appreciates that it fits into a backpack to get it from the car to the waves. Your dad will too, whether he's an experienced user or just wants to try a new water sport.
5. Yeti Roadie 24 Cooler
For the Guy Who Loves a Good Tailgate
“We got my dad one of these because he’s notorious for packing coolers for car trips—even if they’re only an hour long,” explains food editor Katherine Gillen. It’s just big enough to hold some drinks and a few sandwiches without being a pain to lug around. Gillen reports it’s amazing for everything from camping trips to keeping beer chilled during tailgates.
6. On Running Cloud 5 Sneaker
For the Dad Who Tracks His Steps
If he tracks his steps, chances are pretty high that he actually cares about sneaker quality, too. So why not upgrade his current kicks by gifting him this soft, breathable and lightweight pair? Buyers rave that they're comfy enough to wear all day long (while also obsessing over the sleek design). Basically, he'll never want to take them off.
7. The Dad Hoodie
For the Forgetful Dad
He'll appreciate this gift whether he constantly misplaces things or just loves a nice hoodie. It takes the classic design to another level, featuring breathable mesh lining with six stretchable internal pockets to store everything from his glasses to a water bottle and wallet.
8. Hum Nutrition Calm Sweet Calm
For the Worry Wart
When PureWow reviewer Lex Goodman tried the adaptogenic herbal supplement called ashwaghanda, she didn't think it would take the edge off the chronic anxiety she'd suffered for 16 years. But after a couple months, her verdict was clear: "I feel a hell of a lot better." Gift these gummies to your dear dad, who worries all the time (even though he tries not to show it). Vegan and sour cherry-flavored, explain to him that these use ashwaghanda to even out the body's fight-or-flight response. Then give him a big hug.
9. Lululemon At Ease Hoodie
For the Casual Dad
Teach dad about elevated wardrobe essentials with this perfectly fitted hoodie made of four-way stretch fabric. After he sees how flattering it is, he'll never throw on something normcore from the sporting goods store again.
Size range: XS to XXL
10. Soulcycle At-Home Bike
For the Workout Fanatic
Does your dad hit up cycling classes on the regular? If so, this gift is a no-brainer. But before you worry about the price tag, here are a few things you should definitely know about the Soulcycle at-home exercise bike: It's sleek, it doesn't take up too much space, it's incredibly easy to use and like other cult-favorite at-home bikes, the workouts are entirely personalized. (You get a year's subscription to Equinox+, which gives you digital access to classes from SoulCycle, Equinox, Rumble, Precision Run, PURE Yoga, HeadStrong, TB12 and more.) So if your dad is focused on burning calories, there's a workout for it, or if he just feels like going for a casual spin, there's a class for that too. And as a bonus, he'll probably let you use it when you're home. It's a win-win.
11. Apple AirPods Pro
For the Dad Still Using Wired Headphones
We love our dads, but whenever they whip out their old wired headphones, we have to laugh, which is why this gift is perfect. He'll love how much better his music sounds when he puts in these wireless Apple AirPods Pro, and he'll be even more amazed at the noise-canceling feature he can turn on while he's at the gym or walking the dog. And these include a six month subscription to Apple Music.
12. Travel Pants by Tracksmith
For the Comfort-Seeking Commuter
Four-way stretch in a pull-up trouser sounds like sweatpants, but the tailored lines of these trousers make them look way more acceptable for public appearances.
Size range: S to XL
13. Echo Dot
Best Last-Minute Gift
This smart speaker has a clock and Alexa functionality, and a great start to the smart speaker lifestyle. (And even if he doesn't fully convert to asking Alexa every little thing, he can use this as a cute bedside clock.) And best of all, you can get this delivered to him by tomorrow thanks to Amazon Prime.
14. Moon Pod Chair
For the Dad Who Misses His Beanbag Chair from College
He definitely still enjoys kicking your butt at Space Invaders, but his back would rather he sit in an actual chair and not atop a pillow on the floor. This innovative float chair is basically an ergonomic beanbag chair designed to offer plenty of support while reducing stress and anxiety.
15. Thermoworks Thermapen One
For the Budding Chef
After opening this handy gift, he’ll never have to play the “is this meat fully cooked?” game again. It can also be used in baking or candy making, so he can expand his kitchen repertoire with confidence.
16. Amazon Explore Gift Card
Best Retirement Gift
Now that he has the time to really get some traveling in, let him start researching some destinations by introducing him to Amazon Explore. A gift card lets him select and schedule which of the interactive, livestreamed tours he wants to go on globally, led by locals and experts in the destination. Jerusalem, Tokyo, Buenos Aires...the world is his for the asking.
17. Pluto Pillow
For the Dedicated Napper
Gift him a customized pillow that is created just for him, according to a short questionnaire he fills out online about his body stats, how he sleeps and what he likes. An algorithm uses this intel to create up to 35 variations in his pillow, which we predict will significantly lower the chances of him complaining about waking up with a sore neck.
18. Cameo
For the Celeb Obsessed
Of course he’ll love hearing you wish him a happy holidays, but he might love it a bit more coming from Drew Brees, David Hasselhoff or Jaleel White. Pay to have celebs from a wide range of fields record your dad a custom message to let him know just how great he is.
19. Grilling Spice Blends
For the Dad Who Fancies Himself a Pro Griller
This set of four spice mixtures will take his grilling game (or just his indoor pan-fry steak making) to the next level via high-quality spices internationally sourced by a mother-son duo. Cajun Blackened, Caribbean, Chipotle & Honey and Vermont Maple flavors are going to elevate anything they touch.
20. Bose TV Speaker Bluetooth Soundbar
For the Home Theatergoer
Inside this compact soundbar, there are two full-range drivers angled to deliver wide, spatial sound and there's a center tweeter specifically focuses on clarifying speech. (So everyone will be able to hear better without turning the volume extra loud.)
21. Michelin XR1 Portable Power Source
Most Useful Gift
A portable phone charger is always a good gift, but this mini powerhouse comes equipped with enough capacity to jump start a vehicle, inflate a flat tire, recharge a laptop, tablet, GoPro, digital camera, drone and phone with power to spare. There's even a radio and work light here, so he can use it for camping and when the power goes off at home.
22. Sony Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones
For the Music Lover
These headphones feature industry-leading digital noise cancellation technology and completely block out all background noise. The coolest part? You can control the volume, skip songs or take calls, all with touch-activated technology. Oh, and did we mention that they have a 30-hour battery life?
23. Cuisinart 20-Piece Deluxe Grill Set
For the Summer Entertainer
These matching tools—spatula, tongs, silicone basting brush and so much more—are going to get admiring comments from the other dads as they all gather around the grill to discuss whether the burgers are, in fact, ready to eat.
24. Disco Basics Set
For the Dad Who Only Just Got Interested in Skincare
Refresh his personal grooming regimen with this set of essentials that includes a natural deodorant, an invigorating body wash, a charcoal face cleansing stick and a hydrating face moisturizer. Besides these products feeling great to use with ingredients like coconut, aloe and eucalyptus, you can tease dad about how he's old enough to remember disco.
25. Winc Wine Subscription
For the Aspiring Sommelier
He’s always looking to sample new wines, and now he can do so from the comfort of his own kitchen. Have him take the six-question palate profile quiz, and the experts at Winc will recommend four wines they think he’ll like. He can order the entire list of recommendations or make swaps and additions as he’d like. Every month, he’ll get hand-picked wines delivered straight to his door—make sure to plan your trips to visit accordingly.
26. Roma Lena Custom Pet Portrait

This portable putting green comes with a length of artificial turf, 13 golf balls and an automatic ball return. (He'll appreciate you saving him the trip to the golf course every time he'd like to get some practice in.)
28. Paravel Packing Cubes
Best Personalized Gift
Everything in its place extends to packing when you gift Dad this set of three packing cubes emblazoned with his monogram and made from recycled plastic water bottles. From 18 to 8 inches long, they zip closed to fit perfectly (and stylishly) into carry-on luggage.
29. Apple Watch Series 7
For the Techie

30. Lululemon Pace Breaker Short
For the Fitness Enthusiast
It's time he upgrades from those ratty old basketball shorts he’s had since college. This lightweight, sweat-wicking style from Lululemon is designed to be a “multi-sport short,” meaning he can wear them for any kind of workout—which is what he was probably going to do anyway. “These are the best fitting shorts I own,” brags one reviewer.
31. Ugg Ascot Slipper
For the Dad Who's Always in His PJs
He loves a lazy Sunday, so he'll really appreciate the kids getting him a quality pair of slippers. Ugg’s shearling-lined suede loafers feature a durable rubber sole just in case he wants to wear them outside to grab the paper—but we suggest making it clear that he’s not allowed to wear these in public.
32. Frigidaire Mini Fridge
For the Dad with a Man Cave
He’s been known to descend into the basement with a couple of beers in hand (and one tucked under each arm), just so he doesn’t have to hike back up and risk missing an important play. Now, he can reach into this best-selling mini fridge for another without ever taking his eyes off of the game. Its 4.5 cubic feet of storage offers more than enough room to store his Bud Lights—and a few snacks, too.
33. Brooks Revel 5 Hybrid Running Shoe
For the Runner
Whether he’s training for his fifth marathon or just likes to jog with his running club, he’ll appreciate these sneakers. The Revel 5 is made from an ultra-lightweight material and designed to propel wearers forward so they can get the most out of every step (and run faster).
34. The Ridge Metal Aluminum Cash Strap
Best Unique Gift
He’s not one to accumulate stuff, which means he refuses to carry around a big, bulky wallet. Convince him to toss the rubber band that’s holding his cash together with this sleek alternative.

Don’t be surprised if he displays it on the stove even when it’s not in use—it looks fancy too.
37. BioLite HeadLamp

If he’s still using the same Dell laptop you bought him in 2010, it’s time for an upgrade.
