We all know a thing or two about dad. He might occasionally let some awkward dad jokes slip out, wear the occasional cringe-inducing T-shirt, or waste time muttering aloud to himself about the state of the world while scrolling through Apple News. But deep down, you know he’s a cool dad with great taste who's probably ushered you into a life of drinking nice whiskey, handling nifty gadgets, or stocking up on luxury accessories. Hence, every year, you always come up short in unique Father’s Day gift ideas to get dad's approving nod. But we have the tools right here to help you finally switch things up this Father's Day.
The trick is to get him a gift that's equally as cool as it is thoughtful—like a whiskey, nifty gadget, or luxury accessory that proves his lessons haven't gone un-ingested. Here, we’ve rounded up the 65 best Father’s Day gifts for every kind of dad so you can get that smile from him this time around. You deserve it.
Craft Beer Club Subscription
When your dad's the type to always have a favorite beer of the week—and likely in a style you've never heard of—then a monthly club like this is tailor-made for his beer fridge.
Flannel-lined Waxed Trucker Jacket
A rugged denim staple for him. He can dress it up for a night out or dress it down for a laid-back kind of Sunday. But the best part is, it'll get better with age—just like dad.
Mountain Decanter
It's as close to "climbing the Himalayas then taking a sip from a beaten flask at the peak" as it'll ever get for dad. (Most likely.)
Leather Key Fob
Dad's been into Yellowstone, or he's loving Esquire cover star Harrison Ford in 1923. You say: What's the easiest way to add some of this Western flair to his wardrobe? Accessories. Specifically RRL accessories. We love this leather key fob. Maybe after this he'll get into chain wallets and bandanas.
FreeSip Stainless Steel Water Bottle
The best water bottle of all time will change his life. We are not joking, he's gonna start trying to sell people on this water bottle you bought him.
The Everywhere Zip Backpack
Dad's in need of a new backpack, and Away has the perfect one. He can take it on trips or literally anywhere he goes.
DoubleWood 12 Year
Does dad have a family timepiece that needs a little care? Until June 30 (read: This Father's Day), the Balvenie is partnering with Grand Central Watch to get him a bottle and a restoration consultation on that fine heirloom watch.
The process: Until June 30, send dad's watch to Grand Central Watch for complimentary consultation. Then, get a $100 Casker's voucher (spend it on The Balvenie's wonderful single malt) and a personalized keepsake book that will tell the history of pop's timepiece... This almost certainly guarantees he'll pass it down to you, when the time comes.
Reposado
Tequila snobs might not say it, but Flecha Azul—Mark Wahlberg's forray into celebrity-backed tequila—is pretty damn good. (And affordable.)
E-Gift Card
Snake River Farms sells some of the best American Wagyu you're gonna find. If you're really on a time crunch, get a gift card. But if you've still got a few days, we suggest any of the the summer sizzler, bone-in, or surf & turf boxes.
Bleu De Chanel Eau De Parfum
A timeless fragrance for a classic man.
TheraGun Elite
For all those aches and pains he's been feeling.
Luxury Watch Subscription Gift Card
New luxury timepieces delivered to him every month or season will make a dapper dad dapper-er. Each one will be a surprise, and one might just be a Rolex or TAG Heuer, courtesy of Watch Gang.
Deluxe Lunch Cooler Bag
A dad who packs his lunch is a dad who's healthy and fiscally responsible. That's cool. Carhartt makes gear that looks great while still being durable, and this lunchbox is no exception.
Aluminum Wallet + Money Clip
Not only can dad ditch his overstuffed wallet, he can ditch the wallet completely. This aluminum card carrier holds up to 12 cards and plenty of cash, though you'd hardly be able to tell. It's minimal and dead useful, just like he appreciates.
Clifton 9 Sneakers
Does dad put up numbers on Strava? Or does he just wants to get in better shape to keep up with the grandkids? HOKA's big, plush midsole will protect his joints either way.
Newport H2
The Newport, Keen's OG ugly water sandal/slip-on shoe, is the ultimate Dad Footwear™ choice. Perfect for light yard work, going to the beach, or running to the store. He might even try to wear them to dinner.
Middleton Bluetooth Speaker
The Stones will sound just as good out of this thing as they did when he saw them in '81.
Reveal X Pro Cellular Trail Camera
With a 96-foot detection and flash range, half-second trigger speed, and ability to switch between cellular providers, this is the best trail camera on the market. We got one for my dad, and now we get daily pictures and videos of the raccoons that live in his backyard.
Rambler Lowball
There's plenty of nicer rocks glasses, but he'd probably appreciate this one more than any of them. Unfussy and risk-free, it can keep his drink cold for hours on end.
Oca Leather Low
If he's trying to level up out of dad shoe territory, a classic all-white sneaker is the perfect choice.
Silk-Jacquard Tie
The key to a perfect gift for dad: Don't overthink it. A silk Charvet tie is as classic as classic gets. He'll love it.

With a soft waffle weave texture that'll soak up water like sponge, dad won't even bother to wipe himself off after stepping out the shower.
Baseball Stadium Blueprints
Really, after all the tickets he's bought and beers he's drunk in the bleachers, they should just name the damn ballpark after him. But a framed blueprint of his favorite team's field is almost as good.
'What I Love about Dad' Fill in the Love Book
Dad doesn't like all those gushy and sentimental gestures, unless they come from you.
Shiatsu Foot Massager

Cold Coffee? In this economy? Don't make dad laugh. Ember's smart mug will keep his hot beverage heated at a sensible 2oo degrees all day so dad can let out that perfect ahhhh after every sip.
