Show your dad how much you appreciate him with a thoughtful gift from this list curated by PEOPLE editors

We know. You just recovered from Mother's Day shopping, but Father's Day is almost here. And finding the perfect gift for dad doesn't have to be daunting. We've combed all the gift pitches in our inbox and narrowed it down to the best items for any dad in your life — at any budget.

From fun, affordable buys to splurge-worthy pieces, the PEOPLE editors handpicked the presents they'll be wrapping for the dads in their life. Happy shopping.

AYR Essentials

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: If your partner is looking for some elevated, fresh everyday basics, then check out AYR. The brand, which stands for All Year Round, specializes in made-to-last pieces that are consciously sourced and all made in Los Angeles. After falling in love with the women's button-downs, I'm grabbing this long-sleeve shirt for my husband and a cool striped tee to layer with it.

Buy It! AYR "The Captain" Shirt, $175; ayr.com; AYR "The Original" Tee, $68; ayr.com

Samsonite Proxis Suitcase

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: On a recent vacation I noticed that my husband's suitcase was on its last leg. He's not the type to splurge on fancy luggage, but lucky for him, he's married to me. After doing some research, I chose the Samsonite Proxis, which has all the modern bells and whistles (a durable yet lightweight outer shell, dual spinner wheels, TSA-friendly lock) and has a super sleek design that makes you look like you're flying first class even when you're in row 33. (FYI: The Proxis is so stylish, that the brand transformed it into Met Gala-inspired looks last month.)

Buy It! Samsonite Proxis Luggage, $550 (medium); shop.samsonite.com

Under Armour Cap

Michelle Lee, Editorial Assistant: My dad's a simple guy when it comes to his style, but there's one accessory he can't have too many of: a good 'ol cap. This one from Under Armour is perfect for summer with its breathability and lightweight fabric and comes in sleek earth-toned colorways, which will no doubt make your dad feel cool and fashion-forward (even if he might not show it!).

Buy It! Under Armour Men's UA ArmourVent Stretch Fit Cap, $30; underarmour.com

Kiehl's Shaving Set

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: If your dad's idea of skincare is a bar of soap, it's time to help him update his routine. Start out easy with a great shave set like this best-selling one from Kiehl's — the ulitmate starter pack for the dad who needs a little encouragement when it comes to pampering himself.

Buy It! Kiehl's Ultimate Shave Collection, $83; nordstrom.com

Papatui Bodywash

<p>Cedar Rapids South</p> — Cedar Rapids South

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: Earlier this year Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson debuted Papatui, his men's personal care brand featuring skin, hair, body and tattoo care products made with cleaner ingredients and focused on performance. Even more exciting? Every product is under $10. This body wash from his line smells so good, you're going to want to use it too (making it the perfect gift for all!).

Buy It! Papatui Refreshing Body Wash Lush Coconut, $7.99; target.com

Alex Mill T-Shirt

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: Even if you just got him a T-shirt for his birthday, or Hanukkah, or St. Patrick's Day, believe us: He already needs a new one. It's possible these well-liked Alex Mill ones (in a sturdy but comfy weight and a slub fabric buyers love) will get you all the way through until December, though.

Daily Harvest Meal Kit

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: Give dad a break from the grill this Father's Day with a fun and healthy meal kit service. Daily Harvest is offering a great gift option to help celebrate dads on the go. Their Father's Day box is curated with a mix of high protein smoothies, harvest bowls, pastas and grains. The best part? New customers can get $65 off their first order when they enter the code “THANKSDAD” at checkout.

Recess x Gray Malin Golf Set

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: Four years after the rest of the world fell in love with pickleball, my husband and I finally took a lesson while on vacation. He loved it, and to my surprise, I actually enjoyed it too (I'm not one for learning rules of sports, moving fast or sweating). The only thing that prevented us from playing at home is that we didn't own paddles. That's why I'm gifting him (and me!) this set from Recess which features Gray Malin's signature aerial photography. And while it's unlikely we'll win the next husband and wife tournament, we'll definitely take home the prize for chicest paddles on the court.

Buy It! Recess X Gray Malin Golf Set, $196; recesspickleball.com

Hoka Sneakers

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: Dare we dub these the new dad shoe? These trainers look just as cool on the trails as they do on a patio bar. Named after Solimar beach in Southern California, the daily style is engineered with extra rubber for a cool silhouette.

Buy It! Hoka Solimar Sneakers, $125; hoka.com

Alo Socks

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: If ankle socks are out (we hear you Gen Z!), then these Alo Yoga half-crew socks are very much in. They have a super-soft feel, comfy cushioning and cool striped detail. Plus, they'll make pickleball with your boo that much more stylish.

Buy It! Unisex Half-Crew Throwback Sock, $24; aloyoga.com

Vuori Ponto Performance Tee

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: There are a lot of elevated basics on this list and with good reason — who doesn't appreciate a nicer version of something they wear every day? Case in point: These incredibly soft, moisture-wicking tees which have the perfect cut (not too slim, not too boxy) and a touch of stretch.

Buy It! Vuori Short Sleeve Ponto Performance Tee, $79 each; vuoriclothing.com

Mezcal Amarás Americana

Ariel Nagi, Associate Director, Audience Engagement: If the dads in your life love a summer cookout, the smooth and smoky flavor of this mezcal is perfect for a refreshing drink. I love to make a spicy margarita using this as the base, but you can drink it straight or have it with pretty much any mixer of choice.

Tumbler Knife Sharpener

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: Grilling season is upon us, and the dad in your life can't be caught with subpar tools. Ensure his knives are ready to slice through steak with a totally goof-proof at home knife-sharpener. (Note: Even my husband, a Grade A kitchen snob, approves this tool's performance and ease of use.)

Viva Travel Mug

<p>VIVA Scandinavia </p> — VIVA Scandinavia

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: For any guy who likes their hot coffee or tea on the go — whether they're a commuter or a camper — this all-in-one bottle (which serves as a tea infuser, French press or water bottle and keeps liquids hot for six hours) that disassembles to easily clean is kind of a no-brainer.

Quince Sheets

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: If you've come across the Boy Rooms content on your FYP, you know that we have an epidemic of males using not-very-high-quality navy sheets. Help him go from a "Boy Room" to a "Man Room" with these classy, comfy sheets that aren't bank-breaking, in a very grown-up windowpane print.

Cozy Earth Men's Jogger Set

Cozy Earth Bamboo Jogger Set

Catherine Santino, Style Writer-Reporter: This lounge set is so cozy it just might convince your husband to sit down and relax on Father's Day instead of starting yet another home project (that he never finishes). The viscose from bamboo is so soft and stretchy, plus it's breathable, so he can wear it all year long.

Buy It! Men's Jogger Set, $252; cozyearth.com

Fair Harbor Shorts

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: You don't have to choose between "cheeky short shorts" or "baggy board shorts" for your significant other's swimsuit, we promise. These Fair Harbor ones, made from recycled fibers, are a great in-between length for active dads of any age, and the seersucker fabric gives a little textural interest without resorting that giant palm print you dread.

Leatherology Sunglasses Case

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: If you, like me, have ever stifled a scream upon seeing your significant other carelessly throw his sunglasses into the car cupholder, treat him to a structured case with his initials. You're saving him money in the long run when he won't have to replace yet another scratched lens or snapped arm.

Zingerman's Gift Box

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: Show your love with snacks. Mail-order him a delivery of sweets or savories (like this cured meets and cheese box, which you can completely customize) from the beloved Ann Arbor institution, so he'll be well-fed all week.

Naadam Cashmere Joggers

<p>Courtesy Naadam</p> — Courtesy Naadam

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: Elevate his Sunday funday wardrobe (and throw out his old college sweatpants — you know, the ones with the holes) with a pair of super-soft, breathable sweatpants from best-selling, accessibly priced cashmere brand Naadam. This effortless style features classic ankle cuffs and a single back pocket. The fabric combines lightweight cotton, recycled coffee grounds and premium cashmere for an ultra cozy pant.

Buy It! Naadam Café Cotton Cashmere Jogger, $138; naadam.co

PerfectWhiteTee Crewneck

<p>Courtesy perfectwhitetee</p> — Courtesy perfectwhitetee

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: On the note of updating his "sweats" collection, consider an elevated sweatshirt that can be worn for happy hour on the beach or out to dinner. This PerfectWhiteTee "Perry" style has a vintage cut and feel. (While you're there for him, also nab a few tees for yourself — trust us!)

Buy It! Men's Fleece Crew Neck Sweatshirt, $110; perfectwhitetee.com

Duluth Cornhole Bags

<p>Duluth Trading Company</p> — Duluth Trading Company

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: One thing I have learned since becoming a boy mom is that the masculine urge to absolutely never just sit down and relax at the beach, park or barbecue starts young and lasts forever. These cornhole bags (I'm from the midwest, I don't know what you call it where you're from) are indestructible, cool and are great for anywhere you BYOB (Bring Your Own Board).

Balcones Cataleja Texas Single Malt

<p>Balcones Cataleja</p> — Balcones Cataleja

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: As much as my husband appreciates a gift he can wear or use to hit a ball, what he really loves is something he can drink. Instead of blindly choosing a bottle of something based on how fancy the label looks (my typical m.o.) I asked a friend who knows her way around a single malt for a recommendation. She suggested this limited edition whiskey which hits an extra celebratory note, since the brand created it in honor of its 15 year anniversary.

Spend management startup SiFi raises $10M to grow further in Saudi Arabia
The global spend management sector is experiencing a tailwind of sorts. Indeed, the space is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10.3% by 2030, per Grand View Research, and adoption in other regions like the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is expected to pick up as companies increasingly adopt expense management tools to get a clearer picture of where their money is going. Saudi Arabia-based Simplified Financial Solutions Company (SiFi), one such spend management platform in the MENA region, has now raised $10 million in a seed funding round to double down on its growth plans in its home market.

Swiss startup Neural Concept raises $27M to cut EV design time to 18 months
As pressure from Chinese competitors intensifies and the EV market stalls, major U.S. and European auto manufacturers are racing to cut the cost of producing electric vehicles so they can get to the price tags and profit margins of ICE cars. Now, a company spun out from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), has raised $27 million in a Series B funding round to apply AI to solve that exact pain point. The company says it uses deep learning in a 3D environment, and combines data analysis with machine learning to speed up development times by up to 75% and product simulation by as much as 10 times.
