The best gifts for dad should lean into what he loves most (besides you). Sure, an obvious pick like a customized mug or a gift card to his favorite shop are great ideas, but something that caters to his interests and that heâll actually use? Prepare to solidify your status as the favorite. Gift the die-hard sports fanatics a chic piece of memorabilia (yes, those exist!) that supports his favorite team. Or if heâs most comfortable in the kitchen, a recipe journal or pizza oven could be calling his name. Is he a little too attached to his worn-out work bag? A new one is the gift he never knew he needed.

Whether heâs a frequent traveler or constantly lugging his life in a bag, give him an upgrade with this On Cloud tote. It has tons of compartments, too, so he can store everything he needs for work, workouts, or travel. New dads might also prefer to use this as their signature cool dad diaper bag.
Outdoorsy dads are covered with this trail shoe, which is backed by hundreds of positive reviews. Designed with waterproofing and extra stability, theyâll keep him dry and comfortable on your next family hike but are also stylish enough that heâll be the coolest-looking guy shopping at Whole Foods.
The North Face is a go-to for great gifts your dad is guaranteed to love. Take this lightweight hat, for instance, which is made with quick-drying fabric and breathable mesh side panels that will keep him cool on his weekend jogs.
Chances are, he could use a new work bag. For a more luxurious, high-quality gift, this one is crafted from premium leather, has plenty of pockets (including one for his laptop), and a subtle magnetic closure.
You donât have to be into jewelry to appreciate some handsome cuff links peeking out of a crisp, French cuff shirt. This heirloom-worthy sterling silver pair is simple, understated, and elegant for dressing up a suit or doing the most at the office.
Crafted with Mongolian cashmere and built for dads who love to stay cozy, this super soft ribbed beanie is a year-round staple (we think it would pair perfectly with the brandâs cashmere hoodie).
Cater to your favorite fashionistoâs love of Scandi design with this timeless work jacket from Swedishâbased Our Legacy. A staple that can be dressed up or down, the sturdy cotton material is cut with a slightly dropped shoulder silhouette thatâll give your guy the boxier fit he gravitates towards.
Kitchen
While your dad might not travel the world with his cookware a la Stanley Tucci, he probably loves pizza night. Skip the delivery with this ultraportable pizza oven, one of Gozneyâs highly anticipated new arrivals. He can keep in the backyard or take on the go, Tucci-style. (Psstâthe brand is also Benny Blancoâapproved).
Summertime is around the corner, which means itâs time to start thinking about all the backyard BBQs drawing near. Encourage your own grill master to enjoy his favorite hobby with a regular supply of sustainably sourced meatâno trip to the butcher required. And since each box is delivered within five days of billing, it makes for a solid last-minute gift idea too.
Hydration is key for everyone, and this stainless-steel water bottle takes it to the next level for Dad. Itâs so high-tech, in fact, that he can pair it with an app to track his water intake via Bluetooth.
For your favorite personal chef, encourage him to write down his best recipes in this keepsake journal that can easily double as coffee table decor. Add your own photo and customize the title with an inside joke or sweet reference for your most thoughtful gift to date.
Hobbies
A gift guide for dads wouldnât be complete without a shout-out to the sports aficionados. My architect husband is a die-hard New York Mets fan and a firm believer that you can never have too many candles on-hand. So it only made sense that one of his favorite Christmas gifts was this hand-poured wax candle topped with an intricately designed, laser-cut wooden replica of Citi Field. Choose dadâs favorite team, and heâll light it all season long.
With this unique gift from Amazon, he can make his mark on a ton of stuffâstationery, labels, books, recipes, and so on. Each engraved plate can be customized with his initials, a special message, or logo, and itâll instantly personalize his most treasured items.
