2025 Gift Guide For Dad
Let’s be honest—dads are so hard to shop for. If your dad is anything like mine, he already has all the tools and gadgets, so every year it’s a struggle to come up with unique ideas that are practical, meaningful, and something he’ll actually enjoy!
And if you’re shopping for the father of your kids, it’s even tougher! He’s probably the guy who never asks for anything and claims he doesn’t need anything, making it a real challenge to find something he’ll actually love.
Whether they already have everything or just never say what they want, finding the perfect gift can feel impossible. That’s why I’ve rounded up 17 gift ideas that the men in my life actually love and use—so you can skip the guesswork and give a Father’s Day gift he’ll truly appreciate!

17 Gifts for Him
From gifts I’ve given to the men in my life to their all-time daily favorites, I’ve rounded up the best ideas—whether he’s into tech, golf, cooking, or just hard to shop for. Here are 17 Father’s Day gift ideas they actually love and use.
01. Kickback Rocker
We’re always fighting over these GCI rocker chairs! They’re perfect for dads cheering on the sidelines, grandparents doing the same, or anyone who loves sitting around the campfire.
The back hits just right, and the rocker feature makes it extra comfortable.
02. Yeti Camino 35
The Yeti Camino Carryall Tote is one bag we reach for all the time. It’s perfect for hauling kids’ gear to the fields or packing up for a beach day—the waterproof bottom has saved me more times than I can count! Plus, the abundance of pockets keeps everything organized and easy to grab on the go.
The 35 is the perfect size—big enough to hold everything without getting too heavy. I also love the two handle options—use the shoulder strap for easy carrying or the shorter handles when it’s loaded up and a bit heavier.
03. Crosely Record Player
Inspired by our recent trip to Charleston, where we stayed at the Emeline and they had these in every room, we absolutely loved it!
I would have never considered us “record people,” but there’s something about it that really sets the mood for relaxing and good conversation.
I highly recommend this Crosely Record Player— it’s perfect for the dad you have no idea what to shop for!
04. Tilting Puzzle Board
I originally bought this puzzle board for my son, but my dad actually took a liking to it too! We love having a puzzle out as an option—whether we’re sitting down for hours working on it or just need something to keep busy for a quick minute between things.
This tray lets us keep the puzzle out but also easily put it away if needed. No more missing pieces with the drawers, and I love that I can actually get my coffee table space back without disrupting the puzzle’s progress. The real winner here, though, is the adjustable angle—it’s a serious neck-saver!
05. Aer Travel Pack 3
My fiancé is backpack obsessed, and he reaches for this one often! If your guy appreciates nice materials and handy features like all the pockets, I highly recommend this backpack. It’s perfect for a day at the office or a quick work trip. The carry-on size is ideal for a short trip, and all the pockets are perfect for a day at the office—he can easily throw in workout clothes and snacks.
The material is top-notch, and the best part? It stands up when he sets it down. Once he’s experienced this, he’ll never want anything else!
06. Peak Design Packing Cube
These packing cubes are the best! The material feels luxurious yet is super lightweight, and the zippers are strong enough to stuff them full.
The medium size is definitely the most versatile. It’s just the right size for keeping clothes and accessories organized, and it fits easily into a personal item or carry-on-sized bag.
My guy has these, and I’m always trying to steal them—they’re perfect for staying organized without adding extra weight to your bag.
07. Anker Charing Station
The Anker 3-in-1 charger is super convenient for charging all his things at once. The magnets are strong, keeping everything securely in place. It folds up compactly, so it’s easy to grab and go with all three chargers in one.
I also love how it lays flat when in use—perfect for a small nightstand!
I own this in white and plan to gift it in black. It’s sleek, practical, and the ideal gift for anyone with multiple devices.
08. JBL Speaker
The JBL speaker is another favorite in our house! He takes it out to the garage, onto the deck while grilling, and it’s even lightweight enough to toss in our Yeti Camino to bring to the beach or pool.
It gets used often, the sound quality is fantastic, and the charge lasts forever—I honestly can’t even remember the last time we had to charge ours!
09. Ridgid Shop Vac
This Ridgid compact shop vac is a recent addition to our most loved and used items. My guy had one, and I kept borrowing it so much that I actually asked for one myself!
The size is perfect—lightweight and more compact than a traditional shop vac, yet still super powerful. It’s ideal for cleaning up after DIY projects or tidying up the car, making cleanup a breeze. Its power and compact design are perfect for tackling both big messes and smaller, everyday cleanups, all without taking up too much space.
10. Car Cleaning Attachments
Perfect for the guy who loves his car—these attachments pair perfectly with the Ridgid 5-gallon shop vac and make car detailing a breeze. The long hose provides extra reach for those tough-to-get spots, and the variety of tools means there’s an attachment for every job.
My guy goes on and on about how the different tools make it easy to get into those tight crevices and handle every nook and cranny.
11. KitchenAid Immersion Blender
This KitchenAid immersion blender is perfect for the dad who loves to cook, and it might just inspire him to try a new recipe.
Whether he’s whipping up soups, smoothies, or sauces, this handy tool makes blending quick and easy. It’s one of those kitchen gadgets he never knew he needed but will reach for all the time!
I gifted this to my brother, and now he won’t stop raving about all the new dishes he’s whipping up with it!
12. Tally Tumbler
This mug keeps score—literally!
If your dad loves golf and you’re out of gift ideas, I bet he doesn’t have this one yet.
The Tally Tumbler tracks all kinds of stats from his golf game, making it a fun and unique gift he’ll actually use.
13. Yeti 64 oz French Press
I recently saw this French press in the Yeti store, and from the second I picked it up, I was impressed—it’s heavy-duty!
If he loves coffee (and drinks a lot of it), I’d recommend the 64 oz size. It brews enough to keep him fueled, and with how well-insulated it is, I wouldn’t worry about his coffee going cold.
14. TheraGun
We have the TheraGun, and it’s the gift that keeps on giving! It’s perfect after a day on the golf course, a long run, a tough workout, or even after tackling a DIY project.
This thing works wonders on sore muscles, helping to ease the pain and cut down recovery time—so he can get back at it faster!
15. Fiskars Standing Weed Tool
Can you even imagine fighting over who gets to do the weeding? With this tool, we do! It’s seriously that satisfying.
This standing weeding tool is perfect for the dad who takes pride in having a pristine lawn. It actually gets the roots without breaking his back.
If you’re looking for a unique gift, this is one he may not have—and he’ll definitely thank you for it later!
16. Ryobi Scrubber Accessories
Probably not the most glamorous gift, but these Ryobi scrubber accessories are truly another favorite in our house.
There’s something about turning the drill into a cleaning powerhouse that gets him all in for helping clean!
It’s one of those things he may not think to buy for himself, but he’s definitely interested in. If you’ve got that hard-to-shop-for, has-it-all kind of dad, this is perfect!
17. Black + Decker Handheld Vac
This handheld vac is perfect for the neat-and-tidy dad who’s a little OCD.
Whether he’s all about keeping the sand out of the car or the crumbs off the counter, this vac is tiny enough to store in the car or cabinet but powerful enough to tackle any mess.
The standout feature? The built-in crevice tool—perfect for getting into all those tight spots without needing an extra attachment!
