It's not just you: Shopping for the perfect Father's Day gift (and for that matter, a Christmas or birthday present for dad) can feel nearly impossible—especially if you've already given him ties, socks, and gadgets galore.

Our advice? To find the most heartfelt father-daughter gift, play into his interests or, even better, your mutual interests, like making craft beers and cocktails (do not miss: the hanging home bar), spending time in the great outdoors (we highly recommend the Fitbit), reading his beloved books, or all things food (hello, homemade hot sauce!). Alternatively, you could pick something that sums up your special bond, from matching father-daughter hats, sentimental keychains and keepsakes, DIY kits you can work on together, and cool tech gifts that'll keep you connected if you're long distance. And, of course, you can never go wrong with a personalized present, whether you're shopping for your dad or grandpa, a stepdad, or your favorite new dad.

Ahead, we've rounded up the best daughter-to-father gift ideas from places like Amazon and Uncommon Goods—all of which will definitely win you the title of favorite daughter of the year. Now all you have to do is pair it with a thoughtful card (pro tip: make sure to include a sweet Father's Day quote inside), as well as a fun father-daughter activity like a backyard BBQ, or a family game night.
