52 Best Father’s Day Gifts To Spoil And Surprise Dad

A sentimental gift that says it all, the “A Dozen Reasons I Love You Dad” set will touch the heart of any father figure. Even better, this present can be personalized; you can customize every detail from the font color to the lid text. You’ll also select from over 50 pre-written messages when choosing your 12 reasons, making this a sweet gift from the whole family.

If Dad loves nothing more than a hearty spread of meat and cheese, a Father’s Day-themed charcuterie board is the ultimate way to his heart. Designed, packaged and delivered directly to his front door by Boarderie, this bundle comes packed with artisan cheeses, meats, dried fruits, nuts, chocolates, olives and more. You can choose between three sizes, starting at $139 for a two to three person board. And the best part? Every order ships overnight, so it’s a great last-minute gift, too. 

For discerning dads who love a good scotch and have a big sweet tooth, we recommend Compartes’ Gourmet Dark Chocolate Macallan Scotch Whiskey Truffles. Eighteen-year Macallan single-malt scotch is infused into the brand’s single-origin dark chocolate ganache filling, making for a decadent bite he won’t be able to find fault with. Plus, the company guarantees no-melt shipping.

For dads who love to grill, Brightland’s Bestsellers Capsule is a thoughtful and practical gift. The set includes a bottle of Awake and Alive extra virgin olive oils that are ideal for grilling and cooking, drizzle-worthy Parasol and Rapture raw vinegars, two honey varieties and a spout and mini-whisk to top it all off.

The self-cleaning water bottle from Larq is a groundbreaking gift for any dad on the go. Whether you’ve seen the brand on Shark Tank or it’s your first time learning about it, this is one gadget that’s actually useful. The UV-C LED light purifies water while the self-cleaning mode turns on every two hours ensuring your water is continuously filtered. Plus, the bottle’s double insulation helps keep the beverage cold for 24 hours (or hot for 12).

A favorite brand among Forbes Vetted staffers and readers (and featured in our best fire pits story), Solo Stove fire pits are portable so Dad (and his friends and family) can sit around the fire anytime, anywhere. It’s also smokeless for cleaner, more comfortable breathing. Bonus: If you buy from Solo Stove, you can personalize it with custom text or logos.

If your sandwich aficionado dad isn’t the chef in the house, this Hamilton Beach breakfast sandwich maker is the ultimate Father’s Day gift. All he has to do is put his favorite bread in the bottom and top layers, followed by an egg and additional toppings to create a mouthwatering meal. It’s ready in just five minutes with minimal cleanup needed.

This waterproof Bluetooth speaker from JBL lets Dad play his tunes anywhere and everywhere from the beach to the trail to the garage where he’s tinkering with his latest project. It has 10 hours of battery life for all-day listening and a clip that makes it easy to tote along.

No Father’s Day is complete without giving props to his best dad jokes. But sometimes even the best jokester needs some fresh material. Enter this pocket-sized card deck, which is filled with a hundred dad jokes that’ll have the entire family groaning. Bonus: There’s space on the back of each card to write your own note or joke.

If he’s more of an iced-coffee guy, opt for Hario’s cold brew bottle, which lets him set it and forget it. All he has to do is fill the filter with ground coffee, add fresh water and refrigerate it for eight to 12 hours (overnight is often the best strategy) for a full bottle of the good stuff. We recommend pairing the Hario with Blue Bottle’s New Orleans-inspired cold brew blend.

Who doesn’t want to break a bad habit or two this year? Pull a role reversal and give Dad some words of wisdom with James Clear’s The New York Times bestseller Atomic Habits. He’ll binge-read it (and then hopefully let you borrow it afterward).
