You’ll Find Him in the Wild

Dad can’t resist the call of nature, and he’s just at home at a campsite among the forest flora and fauna as he is in his actual house. Surprise him with gifts for outdoor lovers for Father’s Day like National Parks-themed drinkware and memorabilia, coffee mugs, apparel, camping equipment and tool sets, art, and other outdoorsy finds that show you get that dad has a wild side.

The Master of the Grill

When the answer to “Where’s Dad?” is “At the grill,” you’ve got a grill master to find a present for—and what better way to fire him up on Father’s Day than with unexpected barbecue gifts to help him master his culinary craft? Grilling tools, spice rub sets, unique serveware, cast iron cookware, and other cool stuff ensure dad maintains his title as King of the Grill for another year.

Dad Takes Over the Kitchen

That hot new restaurant? Dad had reservations for opening night. Food trends? He’s all over them. Your kitchen is filled with spices and snacks from across the globe. If he’s always cooking up a new dish for you to try or chasing down viral munchies, you’ve got a foodie dad, and we’ve got foodie gifts for Father’s Day he’ll love. Spark some kitchen inspiration with gourmet coffee, hot sauce sets, snack samplers, spice collections, cooking gadgets, cookbooks, serveware, DIY kits, and tons of other where’d-you-get-that finds.

For the #1 Fan Dads

Game days are sacred, and Dad’s always got his lucky jersey ready to go. His shelves are covered in sports memorabilia and mementos from his days playing college ball. He can recite stats like they’re letters in the alphabet. Make his Father’s Day one for the record books with sports gifts you’ve never seen before. From college sports to the major leagues, he’ll love officially licensed whiskey glasses, tabletop games, cufflinks, apparel, coffee mugs, coasters, customized books, and more.

Dad’s Got the Beat

Whether he’s always playing his collection of vinyl records or making the melodies himself, if Dad’s got rhythm, surprise him with a musical gift for Father’s Day. Unique finds like records transformed into artwork, speakers, uncommon instruments, personalized posters, books, and more will delight music-loving dads and keep the beat going long after the Father’s Day celebrations have ended.

He’s Just Finishing this Page

“Just one more chapter,” he says, frantically turning the page to see where his current literary adventure is taking him. If he’s got a book nook filled with novels, knickknacks, and collectibles, your dad is a certified bibliophile. Give him a reading gift this Father’s Day that fits his bookish interests with cool finds like handmade bookends, unique bookmarks, reading lights, customized history books, accessories, apparel, and other interest-piquing presents.

Fathers of Furry Ones

He only calls them his “fur babies” when no one’s around. He doesn’t just rub their bellies, he play-wrestles with them on the floor then cuddles with them on the sofa. Fatherhood isn’t always about human kiddos, so delight your favorite dog dad with canine-forward dog dad gifts he’ll love, like apparel, artwork, puzzles, trivia cards, dog accessories, home accents, and more. There’s even personalized sentimental pieces for darling doggos that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge to greener pastures.

For Dads Who Like to Geek Out

He speaks tech fluently and pre-orders the latest and greatest videogames to save people, planets, and the Universe itself from evil. He loves science, history, puzzles, and anything else that tickles his brain. You’ve got a geeky dad and we’ve got the Father’s Day gifts that’ll have him thinking and tinkering throughout his special day and beyond. Treat him to geek gifts like puzzle books, brainteasers, tech and gaming accessories, distinctive desk decorations, gadgets, DIY building kits, and much more.

When Dad Loves to Decant

He always keeps a couple bottles of his favorite merlot for special occasions and delicious anniversary dinners. He could be a master sommelier with his encyclopedic knowledge of all things grape-related. Even if you can’t find Dad’s favorite vintage for Father’s Day, these wine gifts will do the trick. Explore our collection featuring unique and personalized glassware, mixology kits and live classes, cheese boards, bottle openers, cork savers, artwork, DIYs, and more.

Dad’s Into Fitness

He’s always running to the gym (or just going out for a run). He’s always active, playing in the yard with the kids or joining pick-up matches at the local court. Give Dad a fitness-forward gift for Father’s Day that keeps him in the game with cool finds like apparel, recovery tools, gadgets, glassware, posters, and more.

Dad Loves a Foodie DIY

Dad loves to get hands-on with his new culinary adventures, whether it’s rolling out handmade pasta, knotting homemade pretzels, or infusing booze with botanicals. Give him something delicious to DIY that’ll make his mouth water this Father’s Day, like beer making kits, alcohol infusions, cookie and confection kits, pasta tools, spice collections, dumplings kits, and other delicious things for dad to create in the kitchen. If you’re nice, he might even let you have a taste of the masterpiece he cooked.

When Dad Takes His Personal Care Seriously

He keeps his beard trim and shampooed (and even cleans up the sink after). He stretches before every workout. He’s mindful about maintaining his mental health. When Dad is all about keeping his body and mind right, give him a personal care gift for Father’s Day that helps him unwind like shower steamers, aromatherapy kits, mental health journals, exercise recovery tools and creams, relaxation gift sets, and more. Just be sure to mind the Do Not Disturb sign when he’s in his meditation zone.

A New Way for Dad to Experience Father’s Day

Does your dad love learning new things by getting his hands dirty? Give him a Father’s Day he won’t forget with an Uncommon Experience. Each real-time, virtual class is led by an instructor who’s an expert at what they do, and they do a lot. Dad can learn to cook a new type of cuisine, take a mixology class to expand his drink repertoire, sample rare chocolate and coffee, learn to paint a portrait, plus lots of other cool stuff. Many classes come with a kit, sampler, or tool to help you complete it, and any additional necessities Dad needs to pick up are shared beforehand.
