Dads are notoriously hard to shop for—until now. This year, skip the predictable and surprise him with something he’ll actually use. Whether he lives for weekend BBQs, dreams of perfecting his jump shot, or just wants ten quiet minutes in a hammock, we’ve found the gifts that hit the sweet spot between cool and useful. Go ahead, make him wonder how you got so good at this.
Father’s Day is for grilling and we’ve got everything to up his BBQ game...
CHARCOAL: New Ways to Cook with Fire: A Cookbook by Josiah Citrin offers California-cool grilling wisdom from one of the most renowned chefs in Los Angeles. This cookbook is his guide to fresh ways to cook with fire and charcoal, not only grilling over the coals, but cooking inside them and finding inventive methods for searing and smoking.
If he is grilling, he will need a new set of tools. The Schmidt Brothers BBQ Ash 4 Piece Grill Set contains a stainless steel spatula, fork, basting brush and tongs that are stylish as well as functional. Plus, they come in a wood storage box that is gift-ready.
Dad doesn't always have to cook for a crowd - and this cast iron sizzling platter set from the Wine Enthusiast is all he needs to make a steak for himself. The set comes with a 9.25” pre-seasoned cast iron pan, an insulated cotton handle cover, and customizable wood serving base. The base is made from reclaimed whiskey barrels and treated with food-grade cutting board oil. With an option to personalize the base, you can add dad’s name or your own name if you want him to remember who got him the best Father’s Day gift.
Let him keep up his grill game year-round. The Hamilton Beach Electric Indoor Grill with Hot and Cold Smoke Infuser lets him sear, grill and smoke foods inside year-round.
Temperature control is essential when grilling and the MeatStick V Wireless Smart Meat Thermometer ensures he will never overcook a steak again. This high-tech gadget allows him to monitor his steak’s temperature in real-time via Bluetooth, ensuring even cooking every time. With its durable, heat-resistant design, it works for grilling, smoking, roasting or even deep frying!
Score big this Father’s Day with sports-themed gifts...
If he is a baseball fan treat him to a Dugout Mug featuring his favorite team. Dugout Mugs are mugs made from baseball bats. They also reuse the bats to make coasters, shot glasses, bottle openers and a handleful of other unique sports-themed items. Choose his favorite team from their officially MLB licensed product lines.
The Rocket Tennis Racquet Bag is the ultimate tennis bag, designed for players who value organization, durability and style. It features a thermal-lined racquet pocket accommodating up to three racquets. It has more than enough room to fit anything else he might need on the court in separate icon-labeled compartments for shoes, clothing, water bottles and personal items. It has hideable backpack straps, a removable shoulder strap, and a sleek logo-free all black design, combining functionality with a modern aesthetic.
The Spalding TF DNA Smart Basketball is a slam dunk for any dad who loves the game. Equipped with a patented 9D sensor and AI technology, this ball pairs with an iOS app to provide real-time feedback on shot accuracy, arc, spin rate, and more—helping him fine-tune his skills right in the driveway. Whether he's a weekend warrior or just enjoys shooting hoops with the family, this smart basketball turns practice into an engaging, data-driven experience.
Give Dad a break with gifts that help him unwind, recharge, and enjoy some well-earned relaxation and peace...
For the dad who is not afraid of a little self care, the Baby Foot Exfoliation Foot Peel For Men is an innovative at-home foot peel that is part science project, part luxury spa treatment. Apply the treatment, wait two weeks and his feet will be soft, smooth and all the yucky dead skin gone.
If he works out, then the iHealth Dual Channel TENS & EMS Stimulator is a fantastic tool for speeding up muscle recovery at home. Its customizable massage modes and adjustable intensity help reduce muscle soreness and stiffness, promoting faster healing. He will love how it targets multiple areas at once, especially sore shoulders and legs after heavy lifting.
Who knew your eyes needed a massage? The Bob and Brad Eye Massager is an exceptional Father's Day gift for dads seeking relaxation and relief from daily stress. Combining heat, gentle compression and optional music, it offers a spa-like experience that soothes tired eyes and alleviates tension headaches. Its adjustable settings ensure a comfortable fit, while the quiet operation allows for peaceful use anytime. Whether unwinding after a long day or seeking relief from screen fatigue, this eye massager delivers comfort and rejuvenation.
Help him relax and recover like a pro with the Turonic G5 Massage Gun—the perfect gift for fitness lovers, athletes or anyone who deserves some extra self-care. This powerful yet quiet deep-tissue massager helps relieve muscle tension, improve circulation and speed up recovery after workouts or long days.

Sometimes he just needs a good nap and nothing beats a hammock! The ENO DoubleNest Hammock is portable, easy-to-use and offers the perfect spot for relaxation on the go. It comes in every possible color combination he might want.
The CARRYALL Duffel 30L from WANDRD is one of the best duffels we have tested. Whether he is headed out of town for the weekend or needs something strong enough for that guy's camping trip, this bag is built to handle everything he throws at it (and in it). It has comfortable backpack straps for easy carrying and multiple organizational pockets to keep necessary items accessible. The 30L size is big enough to pack him for a weekend, but it also comes in larger sizes and multiple color options.
If peace and quiet is his love language, these noise-cancelling headphones from TREBLAB are a game-changer. With up to 45 hours of playtime, crystal-clear sound, and ultra-comfy memory foam ear cushions, the X9-Pro Earbuds are perfect for everything from work calls to workouts to tuning out family chaos. Bonus: they’re sleek enough for travel but durable enough for daily use. Whether he's commuting, zoning into his favorite podcast, or just enjoying some silence, these deliver.
If he is more of a purist and prefers beans to pods, loves French press coffee but hates cleaning the messy coffee grounds, then the Simpli Press is for him. This French press features a patented stainless steel ultrafine double filter and coffee basket system that results in grit-free, flavorful, customizable coffee with effortless and fast removal of grounds.
For the coffee lover who makes daily stops at the coffeehouse, the Bruvi Coffee Brewer is made for him. Far from your typical coffee maker, Bruvi expertly brews seven different beverages, including coffee, true espresso, Americanos, and cold brew. It features a smart brewing system that scans each pod to instantly recognize the beverage type, automatically adjusting settings for optimal flavor. The intuitive touchpad lets him customize cup size, temperature, and strength to suit his taste.
