“My dad loved this for Father’s Day!” —a happy Amazon customer, and the exact energy we’re going for for Dad’s gift this year.

I'm a Shopping editor (and mom to two toddlers) who covers a variety of topics, including helpful parenting/kids products, exciting gadgets, cozy products (think: home goods and fashions that'll make you want to snuggle), and any magical Disney item that crosses my path.

Father's Day will be here before you know it, so whether you've got to shop for your partner, your dad, your uncle, or your brother, I've got you covered with some fun ideas! From a Lego recreation of the original Game Boy (!!!) and a big bag of cereal marshmallows to New Balance "Dad" sneakers and waterproof playing cards, you might even find an extra gift idea to squirrel away for their birthday!

Promising review: "This card is beautiful! It is so beautiful that I gave it to my brother before Father's Day. He was delighted! When I gave it to him, he had guests at his house, and they all wanted to know where I got the card. Of course, I told them on Amazon. Not only is this card beautiful, but this is the third card I purchased from this company, and they all were gorgeous! The quality is suitable! The design is amazing!" —KUPONGIRL

When my husband found out we were going to be parents, he bought this book in preparation. Four years later, he and my son were finally about to read it together — it was magical. Not to mention the book itself is stunning! It has a beautiful fabric cover, and the illustrations are lovely.

Promising reviews: "Amazing illustrations to a classic story!! This is one of my favorite books; my dad would read excerpts of it as bedtime stories when I was young. Now I bought this version for him to read to the grandkids and they love being able to look at pictures while he reads!" —Colie828

"My dad read The Hobbit to me when I was a kid over 40 years ago, and I recently bought this illustrated edition to read with my 11-year-old. It has been such an amazing experience — bringing back so many wonderful memories while creating new ones together. The story is just as magical as I remembered, and the illustrations make it even more engaging for young readers. Truly one of the greatest books ever written, and this edition is a fantastic value for anyone wanting to pass the adventure on to the next generation." —ztaylork

My husband has an extensive Lego collection, and our son loves to help him build each one (a win for all involved, TBH). This specific Game Boy set even has lenticular "screens" you can swap out to look like a game is actually being played. SO FUN!

Promising reviews: "Bought it as a gift for my husband, he loves to game, he loves Legos. So it was a perfect gift. He apparently had already been eyeballing it himself. Great gift for birthday, Father's Day, or Christmas" —N. Patrick

"I love this! I got this for my dad, who loved playing with a Game Boy back in the '80s, and he said it's really detailed and looks just like the real thing. It's useful to build, and the instructions are clear to follow. I'd recommend this for someone who's 10+ only because it can be difficult to build, but if you know someone who loves Legos and how complex they are, this is perfect. The coloring and sizing compared to the actual Game Boy is a great match; it's amazing." —User123456

You can also get it in baby and kid sizes so the whole family can match! 

Promising review: "My 22-year-old sons told me I 'looked good' in this hat. Probably the most that they've said to me in 17 months, but really sweet, so this hat gets props! I love the narrow (skull) fit and adjustable band. Nice hat, TBH." —Jimmah!

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in tons of styles).

And all you have to do is click 'Customize Now' and then upload a well-lit image! I bought these as a funny stocking stuffer for my husband a few years ago, and it was a big hit. It usually ships in 5–6 days! My Sticker Face is a small business.

Promising review: "I bought these as a Father's Day gift, and my dad loved them! The stickers have stuck to all the surfaces he's chosen so far." —G. Mode

Check out a TikTok of the heated ice cream scoop in action. 

Promising review: "I bought this for Father's Day for my dad! He has a bowl of ice cream every night before bed and he uses the microwave to help melt the ice cream to scoop it out. I found this little gem on Amazon and knew that it was a perfect gift for him! It's one of the best inventions, I swear! It heats up when you squeeze the handle and turns off on its own! He loves it! No more microwaved ice cream for my dad!" —Cara F

Craftmix is a small business that specializes in instant drink mixers. 

These are all vegan and gluten-free — all you have to do is add booze, water, or the seltzer of your choice! Reviewers also love it as a party favor. 

Promising reviews: "This was a perfect gift for my dad! He loves mixing up drinks and is celiac, so this was an absolute win since it’s gluten-free. It wasn’t expensive at all and for a wide variety of flavors, it was a good value." —Bre

Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 10 different flavors and a variety pack). 

Promising review: "Bought this for my retired dad to give him something to do. He loves it! The birds are eating right from his hands now. He leaves it on the patio table, and he has noticed that it's empty when he goes to get a ring, so they are using it even without him there, but I think that's the point, so they are used to it. Definitely a win!" —Slag

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in eight colors and in sets).

I've tried the Omaha Steaks gift packages myself (and sent them as gifts to my parents) and they are *absolutely* worth the money. Everything arrives frozen and individually packaged, so you won't need to hurry and make ALL of this food for one meal. You can truly taste the higher quality of the meat and breaking it out at home for a weeknight dinner genuinely feels like a treat.

Promising reviews: "We get this as a gift for my dad every year, and he enjoys it. It's a great gift and the quality is really good." —Allie J

"As usual, these were a hit as a gift for friends and family, and in today’s prices, this was very reasonable with a fantastic reputation. My friend's family loved them and even invited me over for a cookout." —Amazon Customer

There are 100 puzzles total, and four different levels of difficulty to tackle —each puzzle features a logic grid to help you solve it!

Promising reviews: "The puzzles are a lot of fun, but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativity! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes but this one will keep me busy for awhile!" —Liz Gately

"I bought this for my puzzle-loving Dad, who already has everything he never wanted or needed. Seriously, we kids have a convo each year to strategize and come up with a new hobby or interest for him. HE LOVES IT. I'm getting one for myself, it sounds that fun." —A RobertsKindle Customer

BuzzFeed Deputy Editorial Director Elizabeth Lilly has and loves this light, "I have one and am OBSESSED. There are six light levels and three types of light (I prefer the amber light for pre-bedtime reading)."

Promising reviews: "My dad loves it. He uses it for reading and for any task that requires good lighting. It's very bright and can be positioned however you like. It charges with USB-C, which is a big plus if you use an Android, so you can just use your phone cable and don't have to carry around a micro USB cable too." —Vicki I

 "I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly onto your book. I haven't even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It's so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I'm up in the middle of the night and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don't have to worry about disturbing someone, this light is still my go-to when reading. It's better than any nightstand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck, but it's so lightweight I hardly even notice it" —Linda Holloway

Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a family-owned small business based in Oregon that makes gardening tools.

Promising reviews: "My dad loved this for Father's Day!" —HollyLed

"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given that we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weed was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG

Promising review: "I purchased one of these directly from Chef'n for my husband as a gift. He is a major stuffed olive guy. He loved this gadget so much, I took it to Amazon and bought one for my dad and stepdad, along with a jar of olives for Father's Day! They love stuffed olives as well. It is reasonably priced. It attaches to any jar. You can use it for many products, including pickles. It is easy to clean, easy to use, and very sturdy. My husband highly recommends this! Get one or two! We don't like pickles; otherwise, we'd have one on our pickle jar, too!" —Jen

Promising review: "I bought this for my father for Father's Day. My dad gets hot when he sleeps. He previously slept on a flat pillow, and that was 'just fine,' but after giving him this pillow, he didn’t realize what he was missing. He loves the coolness of the pillow, and he loves how the pillow forms around him when he lies on it. He didn’t remove any foam pieces from it, but I was excited about this feature because I thought the pillow would be too thick for him. I’m glad I got him this present. I liked the cover that zipped around the pillow so we can wash it up for him. All in all, a great purchase!" —Live Outside

Get a set of two queen-size pillows from Amazon for $39.99+ (also available in various pack/set options and sizes, and two styles). 

Promising reviews: "I bought the first from a store, one bottle was open and the smell called to me. I bought it for my dad, and he has not used any other brand ever since. The smell is amazing. No matter which one you choose, it’ll be great. Good foam as well." —Yohana S.

"Cremo Rich Body Wash is hands down one of the best body washes I’ve ever used! From the first use, I was hooked by the luxurious, creamy texture that feels rich and indulgent on the skin. It lathers beautifully without needing to use a lot, making each bottle last longer, which is a great bonus. The scent is divine — sophisticated and long-lasting without being overpowering. It leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft and moisturized, almost like I’ve applied a lotion after showering. Unlike other body washes, this one doesn’t leave any residue, just a clean, fresh feeling that lasts all day. It’s a fantastic upgrade from standard body washes, offering a spa-like experience in your daily routine. Highly recommend!" —NayNay

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 10 scents).

Promising review: "I got this for my birthday so that I could effectively take notes for a podcast I am working on and easily upload them to a cloud service that I have saved. I have a disability, and with that, it is a lot easier to deal with writing something down when you have one notebook as opposed to two or more. My favorite feature might be the fact that after I write something up, I can automatically send it to my email, iCloud, or many other various cloud services. I even bought a Rocketbook Core for my dad for his work. I would recommend this item for anyone who wants to keep the skill of writing but wants to make what they write digital." —Jordan Lowe

Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in two colors and four types). 

Promising reviews: "Got this for a Father's Day gift for my hubby, was funny. He loves it and gave one to a friend, too. It is made well also." —Mr&MrsB

"How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase, and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent, and the sauce cups clip easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.) Ya know, you end up squeezing the sauce onto the wrapper that's balanced on your lap and you end up getting some sauce on your steering wheel. OR you try the whole 'wrapper and sauce on the passenger seat and try to dip while watching the road,' which usually doesn't turn out so great." —Pleasure Pamela

Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors and sets of four, six, and 10).

Promising review: "I bought this gift for my boyfriend's dad. He absolutely loved it! I was surprised to see it come with a metal holder for the two coasters — nice touch! Super high quality! Beautiful" —Sarah

Get a set of two from Uncommon Goods for $48 (available in most NHL teams).

Promising reviews: "Ordered this for my Dad, and he loves it!! He uses it at home and when he travels!! Design is amazing, charging ability is amazing, core length is amazing. Overall, great product!!" —Amazon Customer

"I finally gave up and bought a charging station for several devices. I travel a lot, and taking turns charging my iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch was annoying, especially if the room had a limited number of outlets and I was not the only one who needed to charge all of them ASAP — plus, hauling all of the cords. Ugh. Hooray, I'm hustle-free now. It comes with one fold-up station, one cord, and one nob for three devices that charge simultaneously. It works with my iPhone 12 Pro Max from 2020, Apple Watch Series 6 from 2020, and AirPods Pro (2nd generation) from 2022 without issues. I am more than satisfied with the purchase." —Sneaky Pete

Get it from Amazon for $27.98+ (available in six colors). 

Promising review: "Originally bought for my father-in-law, he loved it so much, I bought four more... The towels are amazing! They let me stay outside much longer, and I am much more comfortable. Great for camping, yard work, sports, etc. If you have to be outside in the summer heat, a cooling towel is a must!" —Jim Garner

And, obviously, pick up Everything Is Dada if you don't own that one yet! My family loves these books, especially since my in-laws go by "Nana" and "Papa" with my kids. It took me three seconds to hit the "add to cart" button on this book for my father-in-law when it came out last. He reads it with my kiddos all the time! 

Promising review: "Our grandkids call my husband Papa, so this book was perfect. Lots of giggles when we read it." —Donna

They *are* magically delicious, after all. Medley Hills Farms is a small business!

Promising review: "My dad loves these, so he gets a new bag from me for pretty much every holiday. They’re always the same, which is exactly how we like it." —Tracey W.

My dad has and uses this — it really is very simple! You stick the thermometer in and let the app do the work. It keeps you posted as the meat cooks and alerts you when it's ready. He, of course, checks on it throughout the cooking process (he doesn't fully trust a tech-driven thermometer just yet), but it really works as it should!

Promising review: "Works very well for our competition BBQ brisket. I use it all the time on our steaks, pork butts, and brisket. The temperature has always been on point. The app makes it super easy to use. Worth the money!" —John McDowell

Spice Guru is a small business! The gift set comes with four different grilling seasonings that can be used on vegetables, pork, chicken, beef, and fish.

Promising review: "I bought this as an add-on Father’s Day gift after my husband bought his smoker. I had very low expectations, but this was honestly a hit. We will be buying this again next summer for sure." —Kristin Shippee

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two flavors).

This set includes grilling tongs and a spatula.

Promising review: "Bought these for my dad, and he loved them! I got them for Father's Day, and here we are in September, and he’s used them once or twice a week, and they’ve held up great! He loves showing them off to his friends when he grills. Super great affordable purchase!" —AnnaMarie

Promising reviews: "Gave this cooler to my dad for his boat. He absolutely loves it, holds just the right amount of drinks and snacks. Takes it out with him every time he goes out." —Sunshine

"The Yeti Roadie has become my go-to cooler for day trips and smaller outings. The compact size makes it incredibly portable, and the shoulder strap is a game changer for easy transport — no more awkward carrying with both hands. What impressed me most was how well it maintains temperature. Living in Texas, I put it to the ultimate test during our brutal summer heat. Even after hours in a hot car, the ice and gel packs stayed remarkably cold. This cooler doesn't mess around when it comes to insulation. The thoughtful design really shows in the details. Wine bottles fit perfectly when laid on their side, making it ideal for picnics or beach days. Yes, it's pricier than basic coolers, but the performance justifies every penny. When you need reliable cooling in extreme conditions and want something easy to transport, the Roadie delivers on all fronts.  —Jim Cahill

Get it from Amazon for $200 (available in 17 colors).

My husband has and loves this watch (and he has quite a few in his collection). He describes it as "indestructible" and "a great deal for the price."

Promising review: "My favorite G-Shock model. The square model fits well on my wrist. This watch is very sturdy, and I bought it for my dad, who wears it every day. He had never worn a watch until I bought him this one. I like that this watch is can be used in all work types, he works in a mine and this watch has lasted in his 12 hour shifts in the dirt. Highly recommend this G-Shock. This watch will withstand any environment. It is built to last!" —Brandon

Promising reviews: "We purchased this as a gift for my dad and he RAVES about the comfort. It is his new favorite place to read a book or nap. It is a MUST for relaxation!" —Christie Victorino

"We love this lounge chair!!! The price was fabulous!! (And just a note... If you take care of your things — i.e., cover up the swing with a tarp and bring the cushions in when not using it — It will stay like new. Sun and rain can age anything! Easy-peasy!!) This lounge swing is so comfortable, and made very well!! And it only took my hubby and me 25–30 minutes to put together. Take my word for it... you are not going to find a nicer lounge swing at this price!!" —Marash

Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in 17 styles and with or without a reading light).

I've seen soooo many "baby announcement" videos featuring a soon-to-be dad lacing up a fresh pair of New Balances! Not to mention my husband, a father of two, owns and approves of these.

Promising review: "Solid build and timeless style, made in the USA. There is a premium for the materials made in the USA, and the comfort will be well worth the added expense. There is ample support and the sizing is true, with a good amount of room in the toe box. While these are probably not a true running shoe, they are for wearing anytime you need supportive comfort. Highly recommend." —C.C.

Get them from Amazon for $139.29+ (available in men's sizes 3.5–16, in wide sizing, and five styles).

Promising review: "Out of all the barbecue and grill products he got for Father’s Day, this was his favorite gift. He gets so many comments on it when we’re out!" —Ashley

Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in men's sizes S–5XL and three colors).

FromSONUp2SONDown is a small business based in Spring Hill, Florida, that sells customized wooden signs and tiered trays.

Get it from FromSONUp2SONDown on Etsy for $18.27+ (available with up to six names)/

Promising review: "I got cards like these for my dad quite a few years ago, and he still has them! He claims that it's his favorite present I've ever gotten him. My little sister bent most of them, beyond repair, so I'm getting him a new set." —B. Brown

Get them from Amazon for $5.99 and check out this waterproof version of the ever-popular Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza card game while you're at it!

Promising review: "My husband is a sports guru and loves obscure trivia. This has stuff he didn’t even know. Great gift and fun!" —KM

Cobra Garage Door Storage Solutions is a small business!

Promising reviews: "My dad loved it! He said it was easy to install and holds most of his rods!" —Kathy Renee

"These racks are AWESOME! I heard about them from an article in our local newspaper. So glad we purchased them. They are really neat riding up and down with the garage door. Keeps the rods and reels safe and is most certainly out of the way! We like them so much we're going to purchase a couple more!" —Doolen102

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two sizes).

I, too, have a dad who is very attached to his old-school ways of making coffee. He's not interested in a fancy espresso machine with many buttons and options — he's a simple man who just wants to drink tons of coffee all day out of a single vat. The Fellow Aiden Precision Drip Coffee Maker is the best of both the old (his) and new (yours) worlds. It has one-button brewing and built-in presets to easily make light, medium, and dark roasts. It'll look lovely on display in the kitchen and let Dad stick to the beans he knows and loves. 

Promising review: "I’ve tried my fair share of coffee machines, especially with my dad, who drinks about four cups of coffee a day, but this is the best one we’ve ever had. The design and size are the cherry on top for me — it’s absolutely gorgeous on my countertop and saves so much space! It makes getting up easy and exciting for everyone in the house! It’s sleek and super easy to set up and use. I love the built-in presets, the ability to schedule in advance, and the ease of cleaning. The schedule feature is such a lifesaver on busy mornings, and for my dad, who has to wake up at 4 a.m. every morning. Also, my husband is super picky about his coffee whenever we go to a coffee shop, but since we got this machine, he loves making his own brew at home now. If you love quality coffee and a good design, this is 100% worth it." —Deena Lang

Get it from Amazon for $399.95 (available in three colors).

Promising reviews: "We bought this for my husband for Father's Day and it was a huge hit. We are a Marvel-loving household, so it fits right in. My husband is a contractor, so he has all the tools, but it is perfect to have in the house when I ask him to hang a shelf, a picture, or whatever. It has many handy tools inside, and my husband was impressed with the quality and variety of each tool. Plus he feels cool holding Thor's hammer, haha." —Monica Aldrich

Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in two styles).

Promising review: "Great gift for my husband on his very first Father's Day! He absolutely loved it. He works in production and takes it everywhere he goes. Super durable and works great too!" —Rissa Waters

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three styles).

They also come in a version specifically made for concerts/live events.

Promising reviews: "Love this item. As a new dad, the volume was turned up to 11 in my house. Yes, it goes to 11… BUT these cut that noise and let me think for a second. Plus, there are many flavors of tips that come with it. Allows my wife and me to share if needed when we tag each other out." —TheBaldBandito

"I work in a laboratory, so I am constantly surrounded by lots of sounds varying in pitch and frequency, which can be very overwhelming, especially for someone with noise sensitivities. Many people have recommended these to me, so I decided to give them a try. I'm so happy I did! When I put these in, it feels like I’m coming into my peaceful little bubble. They allow me to have a higher tolerance of noise and have overall reduced my stress and overstimulation of the environment I’m in. It seems like they do a good job at blocking out noises I personally find the most distressing (ie, high-pitched, constant noises)." —Makayla
