44 Best Father’s Day Gifts for Dads (2026)

The only Father's Day gift I can recall my own dad receiving was a plate of fried sardines. It was prepared by my mother, his ex-wife, who knew how grateful he’d be for a dish he grew up eating in the Italian neighborhood of a steel town that was dying with such theatrical flair that Bruce Springsteen named a song after it. (An acoustic Springsteen song, at that.) We lived in a nearby city that had plenty of red-sauce restaurants, but they weren't serving tinned fish in those days. As my father had only the most limited of food-preparation skills and didn't date the kind of women who could cook, this was the only way he'd ever taste that flavor again.

As Father's Day gifts go, being united with a long-lost recipe from childhood is pretty good. If you can pull it off, that's what you should give your dad this year. Otherwise, I have here a few ideas that I've spent the last few months gathering for various types of dads and across many different budgets. With the exception of a few items picked by other dads on the team, I've personally tested and approved all of the gifts on this list. I hope they make your dad as happy as those sardines made mine.

Updated June 18: I've added 14 new picks, including pork chops that eat like a steak, rum that drinks like brandy, the toughest grilling gloves ever made, and a pocket knife.

For the Dad Who Plays With His Kids

Samsung

Galaxy Watch Ultra

Last week, I left my Apple Watch Ultra in the Denver Airport. While I hope to retrieve it someday (please call me back, DIA customer service and/or Frontier Airlines), I haven't truly missed wearing it, thanks to the rugged Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, which I’ve been using in its place. The Samsung is more comfortable and has a much more stylish always-on face, better battery life, and a more responsive touchscreen. I've been wearing it to the pool with my daughter and to the driving range, and I've been shocked by how much I prefer it. It's the best product in the Android ecosystem that I've personally used. Samsung has some very good Father's Day promos, including $100 off on the watch and $250 off its top-model phone, the Galaxy S26 Ultra (8/10 WIRED Recommends). I'd give this to most dads, but especially to an Android user who's active outdoors with his kids or frequently does yard work and other handy jobs that can be rough on a watch.

Spyra

SpyraFour Electric Water Blaster

The SpyraFour is the new best water gun ever made. WIRED has been covering the German brand's powerful electric squirt guns since 2023, and the products have only improved over time. Just ask my daughter, who has to use the SpyraThree while I blast away at her with this gun that refills much faster (it sucks up enough water for about 20 shots in a cool 12 seconds) and has a full digital smart display to select between shooting styles and show you how much ammo you have left. This is a very powerful squirt gun that shoots accurately up to 50 feet, and it's recommended for kids who are at least 14. I can confirm that it’s a little advanced for my 11-year-old.

Aerobie

Pro Ring

Playing catch is one of those classic activities dads and kids love to do together. Over time, I've found that the ask to toss the Frisbee shifts from the kid to the adult. Yes, the Aerobie is still the best flying disc you can buy, but the real reason to gift it is as an excuse to toss it around and talk.

For the Dad Who Watches Other People Play (Sports)

Apolosign

32-Inch 4K UHD Smart Portable TV on Wheels

Last year I had my friends Lexi and Britaney over to watch the second week of the NFL season. The only problem was that I wanted to see my beloved Cleveland Browns begin their brave and honorable march to 5-12, whereas they wanted to watch the universally reviled Kansas City Chiefs early in their humiliating 6-11 season. To make this work, I had to go dust off a ratchet old 480p TV in the basement to air the Chiefs game. It was not ideal, but this extremely versatile device from Apolosign—the ultimate utility device for your dad—will solve that problem and many others besides.

If you're going to have a second medium-sized screen around the house, this is the one. It’s a rolling 32-inch touch-screen TV that can flip horizontally and has a built-in camera. It reminds me of something you'd see at a booth on a convention floor, but in the good way. It can function as a mega-size Android tablet, a top-flight streaming setup for Zoom meetings, and a rollable screen. Roll it into the kitchen, and you can watch YouTube tutorials on how to cook. Then roll it into the garage and use it to watch a how-to on changing your oil. Then roll it back into the living room to watch Justin Fields play quarterback for a Chiefs team that will finish toward the bottom of their division.

'47 Brand

Clean Up Cap

This modern classic from ‘47 brand is the definition of a “dad hat.” The nearly iconic Clean Up Cap got a nice patina, fits a wide range of heads, and comes with the logo of pretty much any team your dad could call his favorite. (Let's go, Kannapolis Cannon Ballers!) I wear a 7 5/8 fitted hat and find it very comfortable, which is not true of most adjustable caps.

Diadora

Equipe Canvas SW Evo

The World Cup is here, and Americans are eager to embrace soccer culture. I like to think my European cousin is a terrace-standing fan of a team like Sheffield Wednesday or Leeds United, and I'm sure he loves vintage Italian sportswear and cask ale. He almost certainly has a pair of these shoes, which my colleagues at GQ UK say are "having a moment." Your dad will get lots of compliments wearing these to a watch party this weekend.

For the Grill Dad

Mibrasa

Hibachi MH 300 PLUS

Live-fire cooking has been the hottest trend in grilling for half a decade now, possibly as a reaction to the rise of super-automated pellet grills and high-tech smart grilling. The latest up-and-coming device is the charcoal oven, which Spanish brand Mibrasa is best known for (the smallest model, the Nano, runs just under $12,000). That would be an amazing gift for your dad if the budget allows. However, those of more modest means can confidently gift this super-premium hibachi grill from Mibrasa, which is made of heavy-gauge steel.

The MH 300 Plus is roughly one square foot and weighs about 18 pounds empty—you can carry it around, but it's a little on the hefty side. It gets scorching hot (almost 500 degrees Fahrenheit) and holds the meat very near to the charcoal so that the drippings are vaporized and turned into flavorful smoke. I've made steak tacos and chicken skewers, and they've turned out perfectly with a kiss of char.

Snake River Farms

Ribeye Trio Bundle

These rib-eye steaks from Snake River Farms are actually fun to cook. The insane marbling on this American Wagyu cut makes the meat juicy and tender, without any hassle. Never can I recall making something so perfect with so little effort. When you buy meat this good, you can get away with crusting it in salt and doing a basic reverse sear to make a meal better than anything you're likely to find at a steakhouse. You're giving your dad a very nice steak, but, moreover, you're giving him a sense of achievement. This bundle would feed a large family or provide a Father's Day meal, plus a nice Saturday evening meal for a smaller family.

Zingerman’s

Red Wattle Porterhouse Pork Chops

Maybe your dad prefers pork to beef? Or maybe your budget prefers four sizable chops of top-tier meat for below $100? This four-pack of thick, bone-in pork chops—from Ann Arbor, Michigan’s beloved Zingerman's deli—is cut from a heritage breed of hog bred for steak-y flavor. The chops are marbled as well as premium beef—they truly eat like a ribeye.

Butterfly Bakery of Vermont

Thanks Dad! Father's Day Hot Sauce & Mustard Gift Set

Heady Topper is my all-time favorite beer. It's the first and best hazy IPA ever made and is now the only one I'd choose to drink. If your dad is a man of taste, maybe it's his favorite beer, too. If you can drive to Vermont and buy him a flat of it, you should do that. If not, you can get him this mustard and hot sauce gift set from Butterfly Bakery of Vermont, which comes with a Heady-infused hot sauce and mustard. The big ol' box of condiments is a popular Father's Day gift for a reason, and this one is done at the highest level.

Big Green Egg

Hell Hands

I've been a Big Green Egg guy for a decade now, but have usually steered clear of the brand's accessories, which tend to be pretty pricey for what you get. These gloves, however, are irresistible. The Hell Hands are overbuilt to the point of absurdity, with leather that runs up to your elbow, Kevlar stitching, and Armortex patches. They are rated to 900-degrees Fahrenheit, meaning not only can you pick up a grate off a smoker without issue, but you can stick your hand in a goddamned Ooni pizza oven. I've touched my hand to a flaming grill with them on and not felt a touch of heat.

Oyster

Tempo Pro

Oyster has made the prettiest coolers on the market since the Norwegian brand's debut in 2023. These aluminum iceboxes are double-walled for vacuum insulation, as you find on a travel coffee mug. The new Tempo Pro adds a small digital thermometer that tracks the temp inside without spoiling its clean lines.

For the Dad Who Needs to Take the Edge Off

Pax

Pax 4

Maybe your dad just needs to chill a bit. In past iterations of this guide, I've recommended hammocks for that, but we're far beyond hammocks these days. Why not turn to the best loose leaf vaporizer on the market? I think I've used every Pax product ever made, starting with the revolutionary original Pax, widely considered the first loose leaf vaporizer. The Pax 4 is the best yet. Following last year's disappointing Pax Flow, which was a letdown due to its extremely thin and unsatisfying draw for anyone who is sipping instead of chugging, the Four is a return to form that finds the company adding a convenient USB-C instead of a proprietary charging attachment, adjusting the door to the herb chamber to make it easier to open, and adding more power for a more consistent cook of whatever herbal substance your dad chooses to load in. It retains the classic Pax one-button system (four heat settings, one per click) but has a new oven design inside while retaining that sleek and durable brushed aluminum exterior.

RedBreast

Moscatel Wine Single Pot Irish Whiskey

Bourbon is extremely played out, and even if your dad likes bourbon, you should get him something else, like this single-pot Irish whiskey, which is finished in casks that previously held a sweet Spanish dessert wine. This is a complex drink you and Dad can sip and talk about. In addition to all the vanilla and oak notes you expect from Irish whiskey, there are citrus and wine notes.

Barbancourt

15 Yr Old Rhum

This aged rum from Haiti is another left-field gift idea chosen not just because it's good (though it is quite good), but because it's different enough that your pops has probably never had anything like it. Distilled from sugar cane with no molasses (very rare) and then aged for 15 years in open-grain French oak (even rarer), this is a rum that drinks more like brandy. It's softly sweet and vanilla-forward with lots to unpack.

For the Single Dad

GroWell

Laser Hair Regrowth Cap

Have circumstances placed your dad on the dating market? If so, maybe hair can help. When my very fine hair grew too wispy around the age of 30, I started shaving my head, and I have been pretty happy with that for about 15 years. Many women also profess to prefer the bald look! Those women are liars, says my friend Liz: All women want a man with hair. (I suggested to her that the exception might be the Big Three of Michael Jordan, Vin Diesel, and me. Liz says both Vin Diesel and I would do better with hair.)

I'm not someone who is going to take a pill, put a chemical on my scalp, or fly to Turkey to have hair, but I am happy to wear a hat with lights in it for 25 minutes every other day. After reading my colleague's work on how effective LED lights can be for hair regrowth, I decided to grow my hair out for the first time in a long time. It's gone pretty well so far, honestly. If your dad is entering or languishing on the dating market, perhaps more hair can help. And if he has dormant follicles, an LED cap like this one from GroWell can help.

SuitShop

Men's Linen-Look Sand Suit

SuitShop is a direct-to-consumer suit maker that has a huge range of styles and fabrics and uses its own FitFinder system to pair you with the perfect cut. If your dad is going to a wedding, graduation, or other semi-formal event this summer where he's likely to run into potential partners, it's hard to beat a great-looking new suit as a gift.

Lore

Somewhere but nowhere Eau de Parfum with Cedarwood

After many years of being totally scent-free, I've been experimenting with colognes this past year. While I won't dissuade you from the bottle of knockoff Baccarat Rouge I recently bought off Amazon, this woody, earthy, and herbal scent from Lore is the best I've found. The fragrance brand just launched last year, and if your dad gets in now, other people will be told they smell like him, rather than vice versa.

For the Beach Dad/Pool Dad

Beatbot

Sora 30

This is one of the few products on this list that I have not personally tested, but for a dad with a pool, it's such a good gift idea that I had to include it. Our reviewer gave the Sora, which sits in the middle of the Beatbot lineup, a stellar 8/10 review, saying it'll clean up the debris from pretty much any mess short of a hurricane. This 20-pound robot crawls the walls of your pool, suctioning up grime and saving dad the hassle of skimming for an hour every week.

Vero

Vero X Realtree Tide Tracker

Nothing annoys me more than needing to keep my smartwatch charged during vacations and weekends. That's where this very cool watch from Vero comes in. It's a collab with Realtree, the Gucci of camo, and will track the tides for 14 days while being waterproof to almost 400 feet. Even—perhaps especially—if your dad has a smartwatch or a luxury watch, this is a great gift that will serve him well anywhere in the outdoors, and definitely near the ocean.

Sunguard

Men's Overhead Hoodie

I absolutely hate slathering myself in sunscreen—most dads I know do, too—which is why I've quickly become addicted to sun hoodies. I've amassed a half-dozen of them to wear when taking my daughter to the beach or pool or when going for a hike. The best I've used so far is the Sunguard line from EMS, which offers 50 SPF protection in a polyester-elastane blend that's thin, soft, and breathable. It dries ultra-fast, and the hood will cover as much of your face as you need it to without being cumbersome when not in use.

Kobo

Libra Colour

What's better than reading in a beach chair in the shade? Reading on a beach chair in the shade using the Kobo Libra Colour (8/10 WIRED Reccomends), which is waterproof, has color e-ink, and has a mode for doodling down ideas with a stylus. Compared to Kindles, this device feels more like a productivity tool, as it's easy to import articles to read and draw up ideas and lists.

OluKai

Mea Ola Nu'u Men's Leather Sandals

Men’s sandals are a hot-button topic, but I have no qualms about this leather pair from California brand OluKai. The shoes get more comfortable with every wear.

Fjällräven

Vardag Foldsack

I'm naming this the Official Backpack of Pool Days 2026. Swedish brand Fjällräven is known for its retro-styled backpacks, which I've always found a little fussy. But this bag is so practically designed for stuffing gear and securing it all with a zipper that I have become a huge fan. The padded straps are comfortable, and a zippered side pocket is perfect for holding pool passes and credit cards.

For the Car Dad

Nokian

Surpass AS01

The Nokian Surpass AS01's are some of the best-reviewed tires on the road, drawing praise from the automotive press as well as on message boards. I've only put about 100 miles on my set, but I’ll already add myself to the list of fans. These tires are grippy, quiet, and ride with supreme confidence. They also come with a 55,000-mile treadwear warranty, which is not typical for an ultra-high-performance tire like this. Nokian is a Finnish tiremaker known for its winter shoes. This model features the highest proportion of silica the brand has ever used, providing the benefits of the compound, which is better for braking distance, longevity, and grip in wet conditions. (The downsides of a silica-heavy tire compound are faster wear in hot weather and higher cost). If your dad has been making noise about needing new tires, head him off at the pass this Father's Day and have a stack of four new tires delivered—most shops will be happy to mount them if you leave on the stickers.

Noco

Boost+Air AX65

Portable tire inflators and jump starters are both great things to have, and I have both. The AX65 from Noco is a high-powered combination of the two, and the best version of either I've encountered. The tire inflator is extremely quick—as fast as a gas station air compressor in my testing—and advertises that it'll take a tire from flat to 40 pounds per square inch (psi) in two minutes. It holds 2,150 amp-hours of power, enough to jump a regular passenger car multiple times. It jumped my Dieselgate-era Jetta with ease (I've had the device for a month and already needed to jump my car thanks to its lack of alarm when you leave on the lights—VW was apparently dedicating its software engineering resources to other projects at the time). It'll also recharge a phone or laptop via a 60-watt USB-C port, so it's not just taking up dead space on road trips until disaster strikes.

BlueDriver

Pro Next Gen OBD2 Scanner

There are dozens of OBD2 (on-board diagnostic) scanners out there, and I've owned three or four models. The BlueDriver stands out for having lots of powerful features without requiring a subscription or credits to unlock its functions, unlike many of its competitors. This device connects to your car's port and pairs to a phone app via Bluetooth so you can read—and in many cases clear—trouble codes. It plays pretty well with my VW, though it's not a full VCDS (VAG-COM diagnostic system) system, which is the software system for VW.

Decked

Halfrack 32

Decked makes the sturdiest of the many car storage systems I've used over the years, and what the medium-sized Halfrack lacks in size, it more than makes up for in sheer toughness. It's gasketed so it doesn't leak. It’s also strong: Not only can it handle you standing atop it, but you can also supposedly drive a truck over it, and it won’t crack. (I have not driven my truck over it.) It has a locking lid that can be opened with one hand and a convenient carry handle that folds down flush when not in use. This is the gateway to a full system of boxes and drawers, so if your dad likes it, you’ll have gift ideas for years to come.

Lawnbright

Custom Plan

My childhood neighbor Don Elmerick had the finest lawn I've ever seen. Elmerick, who lived across the street from my mother's house for nearly 50 years before he passed in 2019, spent every summer meticulously tending to his acre of bright green grass, getting tan while mowing shirtless in jeans. His lawn was so nice that, as legend had it, the groundskeepers from the modest public golf course behind our house would come by to admire it. Every dad I know, including myself, would love to have a lawn like that. Unfortunately, I do not have the spare 10 to 20 hours a week it takes to do the research and labor required.

I won't say that the Lawnbright plan has my more modest patch of lawn looking like Firestone Country Club after six months of treatment, but it does look better than any lawn I've kept in my adult life. That's thanks to this service, which uses data from your lawn to create a custom treatment plan and then sends different treatment bottles at strategic times. All you do is open the box, attach the bottle to a hose, and spray. I applied the Green Machine formula in the fall and then Weed Wipeout in the spring. If your dad is always talking about how nice another man's grass looks, this is the gift for him.

Stihl

GTA 30

Your dad probably does not need a chainsaw, but he likely needs a lawn tool with a little more juice than a standard electric trimmer. Enter Stihl's GTA 30, which is a battery-powered electric pruner with a small chain blade that will go through small branches while also keeping bushes in shape. For clearing up the debris that falls off your trees in storms and the like, this is the perfect tool, and it's easy to use and carry.

Navimow

i215 LiDAR Robotic Lawn Mower

I've tested a half-dozen robot lawn mowers over the years, and it wasn't until the Eufy E15 last year that I finally tried one I'd recommend people buy. As my colleague Simon Hill reported, Robot Mowers Are Actually Good Now. I don't want to scoop Simon, but this mower from Segway's Navimow brand is the best yet. Setup takes about 20 minutes, and it'll then buzz your grass down to the set height with the push of a button or on a schedule you set in the app. You may need to do a little cleanup around the edges with a weed wacker, but most of the work is done without any intervention.

Benchmade

Bugout Vapyr

It is insane to pay $375 for a pocket knife … unless it's this one. Oregon's Benchmade makes exceptional blades, and this new lighter version of the brand's flagship Bugout (which can be had for a more modest $200) is a third lighter while retaining its edge just as long. There is a lightweight anodized aluminum handle, a little locking button to open it, and a black steel blade that has a Rockwell hardness scale rating of 60-62 HRC, on par with a high-end Japanese cooking knife. It feels amazing in your hand and cuts through cardboard like room-temperature butter.

ForgeLine

The Oaks Camp Pant

ForgeLine is a spinoff of Patagonia, where it was formerly the producer of clothing for the US Special Operations Forces. The Oaks Camp Pants are made from British Millerain dry-waxed cotton in a hexagonal weave and are far more durable than cotton has any right to be. Because they're cotton, they're breathable and wear like jeans while being reinforced enough that you'll feel like you could roll out of a moving vehicle without ripping them.

Olight

ArkPro Ultra EDC Flat Flashlight

This is the updated premium version of the O-Light flashlight, which features on the list of the best flashlights. Like its predecessor, it has a wheel to select between beams, including a bright white standard light with 1,700 lumens, plus a UV light and a green laser beam useful for pointing things out from long distances. This model offers USB-C charging, a welcome feature in the field, even though the proprietary magnetic disc is excellent. Charge it to the max, and you can get a full 14 days out of it on its lowest light mode.

Leatherman

Micra

This wee baby Leatherman comes in stylish colors and has 10 essential tools (a knife, a bottle opener, scissors, and more) without anything extra. There are some smart touches, like a flat screwdriver that will work with a Phillips head in a pinch. I wouldn't build a deck with it, but it can get you out of a jam with a loose screw on a camp chair or propane stove. Dads will tell you that you can never have enough little knives and multitools, and this one makes a nice, inexpensive gift.

Blundstone

Original 1910 Boot

No one has talked more trash about Blundstones than my longtime collaborator and WIRED contributor Pete Cottell, who happened to be at my home when these classic Chelsea boots arrived for testing. We wear the same shoe size, so he tried them on. I could tell he was reevaluating all his past statements on the matter. These waxed suede boots are more waterproof than heavy leather but are extremely light and comfortable. They slip right on thanks to the elastic in the ankles, but have a tight fit that doesn't leave you sloshing around in them. They are popular with stylish 30-somethings in the service industry for a reason: They're extremely comfortable and durable, and truly able to go between the trail and a nice restaurant without pause.

Camp Snap

CS-8 Digital Video Camcorder

Chances are your dad is not old enough to have used an original Super 8 from the ‘60s such as the one that inspired this design by retro camera-maker Camp Snap. But maybe he, like me, had a PXL 2000 as a kid? This new video camera has built-in retro filters and a screen-free shooting experience that forces you to live in the moment while memorializing it. You download the video to your computer by USB later, at which point you can upload it to your Instagram story. It’s a fun gadget to play with and has all the basic shooting features you need to make distinctive and vibe-y shorts—it even has a shoe if you want to mount a light or external mic.

Keychron

C2 Full-Size Wired Mechanical Keyboard

This mechanical keyboard is the one I use every day, and the one I recommend to others thanks to its retro look (the colorway reminds me of my first computer, a Commodore 64) and the satisfying click. It works with both PC and Mac, and since it's full-size, your dad can stick his elbows out and feel like Hemingway as he writes that memoir or work memo.

Gadhouse

Wesley headphones

Headphones with a retro look seem to be trending up lately, with brands like Teenage Engineering and Koss going in on the style. This very cool and highly functional pair from design-focused electronics brand Gadhouse came to me with a test unit for the Miko cassette player, and while I love the player and hope to review it soon, the Wesley headphones stole the show. Unlike other retro-styled, foam-cushioned headphones I've used, these sound amazing and have modern features like an in-line microphone and an included USB-C adapter so you can connect them to your phone.

Taylor Stitch

The Short Sleeve California

Look, dads have a lot going on, and figuring out personal style may not always—or ever—be at the top of that list. That's where you come in. And I know what you're thinking: Dad does not want a shirt for Father's Day. When it comes to most shirts, you're right. This shirt, though? This shirt he will like. Taylor Stitch's short-sleeve California shirt is luxuriously soft, light enough for summer (I find it comfortable to about 85 degrees Fahrenheit, but I have one of the heavier double knits), and it has the kind of classic, timeless style that will fit just about any dad. There are quite a few fabrics to choose from here, ranging from the double-knit cotton pictured here to some hemp versions to a couple of cotton slub jersey fabrics. All the cotton shirts are organic. There's a good selection of colors, too, allowing you some range to tailor your pick to your dad's style, or what you want your dad's style to be. But I promise you, your dad will love this shirt. —Scott Gilbertson

Pair of Thieves

Men's Rayon Made From Bamboo Boxer Briefs

Most men do not get excited to buy themselves underwear—in fact, it's probably fair to say they would prefer to buy underwear for their partner over themselves. And yet, a new pair is nice. These super-soft rayon boxer briefs from Pair of Thieves are, therefore, an excellent gift for a dad who will scrape by without refreshing his own essentials as long as he can.

Berghaus

Pendower Wind Jacket

Sometimes you just need a light jacket that will keep the wind and a light, misty rain from chilling you to the bone. This jacket from British brand Berghaus is exactly the thing you need in those situations, and getting it in the bright neon yellow colorway also makes it useful for safety-aware situations like early-morning bike rides. I love the fit and the materials, but be warned that it zips on the European side (or, as we know it in the United States, the women's side).

For the Traveler Dad

Cuyana

Men's Toiletry Case

Perhaps your dad is like me and has been using something like the same nylon Outdoor Research mesh pouch as a toiletry bag for the last 30-plus years. I've been on the hunt for something better and finally found it with this stylish pebbled-leather case from Cuyana. It's simple with one zipper and two interior side pockets for smaller items like flossers and nail clippers. Unlike other bags of this style, the pebbled leather also lines the interior, so it has a premium feel and isn't easily soiled, like suede.

Ridge

Power Bank

This power bank from Ridge has a MagSafe pad along with built-in USB-C and Lightning cables. It can charge everything from a new iPhone to an old Apple Watch and has enough juice to do both without being big and bulky. I find it indispensable on the road.

Topo Designs

Global Pro Travel Roller Bag

Denver-based gorpcore brand Topo Designs makes my favorite bags in the world, an opinion several other staffers here share. This is the brand’s new roller, which has a full hard-shell case, partially covered with a weather-proof ripstop fabric. The wheels look like skateboard wheels and roll like Tony Hawk. The only downside is that the telescoping handle doesn't stay up if you push too hard, but that's a minor gripe.
