These Useful Father's Day Gifts Will Make Him Feel So Loved

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

We hear it from Dad every year when Father's Day rolls around: "I don't want a gift" or "I don't need anything." But that doesn't change the fact that you still want him to unwrap a nice Father's Day gift—and not just any gift, something he'll actually use. To that point, one year, Ree Drummond resorted to giving her husband, Ladd, 200 individual tins of Carmex. "He uses Carmex daily," she explains. "And had remarked months earlier that his biggest fear was that Carmex would be discontinued or a zombie apocalypse would come and he wouldn't be able to find any."

Luckily, you won't have to go to such great lengths to find one of the best Father's Day gifts (unless, of course, the dad in your life is equally Carmex-obsessed). Here, we've rounded up great Father's Day presents for every kind of dad, including gifts for your dad, gifts for stepdads, gift for grandpas, and beyond. Each present is equal parts practical and fun, so you won't have to worry about sacrificing one quality for the other. They're also incredibly budget-friendly. Looking for a gift under $50? We've got you covered with plenty of picks. Running out of time? You'll find last-minute Father's Day gifts, too.

And at the end of the day, you should remember that it really is the thought that counts. If Ree could make Ladd grin from ear to ear with 200 tins of Carmex, anything is possible. "I can't begin to describe the smile on his face when he opened that Carmex package I'd wrapped," she says.
