55 Father's Day Gifts for Your Husband That He'll Not Just Love, But Use

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

So your man needs one of the best gifts for men, a Father's Day gift more specifically. The goal (obviously) is to get something better than the really special, totally unique, and probably cheap gifts from the kids. Beating a finger painting, handmade coaster, or whatever the hell the cook up in art class, now that’s a real challenge.

While the kids have the cuteness covered, you can still give a winning gift to your husband this Father’s Day. You just need to veer into the more grown-up territory of thoughtful, useful, and cool gifts. You know his hobbies, so start there. Gadgets he’ll use, accessories he’ll wear, home upgrades he’ll need. Maybe a top-shelf bottle he’d love to receive. You know your man, but let our ideas kickstart your gifting brain. Are you someone who always shops at the eleventh hour? Never fear—we included a handful of great Amazon gifts for men that are eligible for fast Prime shipping, too.
