What can we say about dear old dad? Whether he made you a Deadhead for life, gave you your deep-seated appreciation of the great outdoors or taught you how to change your own tire, he's the best. Now, his big day is approaching, and fast, which means we’ve hit crunch time when it comes to gifting. We're certainly not sweating it, however, thanks to a little thing called Prime two-day shipping. Whether dad's into the latest and greatest tech products (OK, OK, that upgraded mini projector, $72, is pretty cool) or he appreciates a good old-fashioned game of chess ($28), you'll have no trouble finding it at the retailer. And, to help you speed things along, we’ve done the legwork for you, rounding up the best last-minute Father's Day gifts Amazon has to offer—the majority of which will be on his doorstep in two days or less.

The Top 5 Last-Minute Father’s Day Gifts at a Glance

When Is Father’s Day?

Father’s Day falls on the third Sunday of June each year, and this year, it happens to be Sunday, June 18. A little-known fact on the celebration of fatherhood? While it was widely supported as an honorary holiday for many years, with a bill being introduced to Congress to make it national as far back as 1913, it was not until President Lyndon B. Johnson declared the third Sunday in June a day to honor fathers in 1966 that it would succeed, eventually being passed into law in 1972 by President Richard Nixon—the same year of the first official Father's Day.

What Are Good Father’s Day Gifts?

When it comes to buying a good Father’s Day gift, you really can’t go wrong if you keep his interests in mind. Consider what he's into: Does he like relaxing at home? Get him some new slippers ($129). If he's the rugged type, outdoorsy items that will satisfy his hobbies or home DIY urges will be a hit. Always snacking? How about a jerky bouquet ($60)? Frequent flier? There's a toiletry case ($28) for that. Most of all, give from the heart—a sweet gift will show him just how much you appreciate all that he’s done for you.

Where to Buy Last-Minute Father’s Day Gifts

To get a last-minute gift, you need fast shipping—unless you want to be that daughter or son giving a gift card. For those with a Prime membership, Amazon will be one of your best bets for getting something he’ll love. Otherwise, you can always rush to your local gift store, but we’d be willing to bet the selection will be a little bigger online—the big box retailer has an entire section dedicated to Father’s Day gifts, and let's just say it's so big, your forearm might get tired from scrolling. 

When Will My Last-Minute Father’s Day Gift Arrive?

Lucky for all your procrastinators out there, Amazon gets it, offering speedy two-day and even one-day shipping for select items (it pays to be a Prime member). Just double check the handy estimated delivery date below the price to find out exactly when your items will arrive to bar any unforeseeable issues. Convenient, huh?

How We Chose the Best Last-Minute Father’s Day Gifts on Amazon

We started this list based on our personal experience gifting a few of these top-rated items. For the things we didn’t own or give ourselves, we did deep dives into each one’s customer reviews and ratings. We also took into account each gift's thoughtfulness, practicality, cost, quality and timeliness, all so you can get him something perfect.

The 75 Best Gifts for Dad That He'll Actually Use (and Won't Abandon in the Garage)


Best for the Watch Guy

1. Orient  Leather Bambino Version III  Watch

Orient

  • Why We Love It for Dad: automatic, water-resistant up to 100 feet, included gift box, real leather band
  • What We Don’t Like: runs a bit big
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 15 for Prime members

This simple watch from Orient is a sleek option for the guy who doesn’t “do” smart watches. Its minimalist face shows just the time and the date to keep things nice and straightforward while its real leather band elevates the quality. It also comes in an included gift box, meaning it will arrive ready to be presented. It’s also water resistant up to 100 feet, though it’s best not to swim with it regardless.

Best for the Dad On-the-Go

2. Herschel Chapter Toiletry Kit

Herschel

  • Why We Love It for Dad: waterproof, holds a good amount of toiletries
  • What We Don’t Like: zipper may be of lower quality than rest of bag
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 13 for Prime members

It’s time for dad to graduate from the gallon-sized plastic baggy he's been stuffing in his suitcase for his shampoo and the like for years. This bag from Herschel not only looks good, it's also waterproof, holds 3 liters of stuff and has an internal mesh storage sleeve to keep the little things (toothpaste comes to mind) separate. “I do move a lot and this thing is definitely a must-have for not only all of your bathroom needs but also cables, headphones and anything else that you want to easily reach and use, cause it has a pocket in the front,” one shopper raved.

Best for the Tool Hoarder

3. Carhartt Legacy Tool Bag

Carhartt

  • Why We Love It for Dad: durable canvas, lots of pockets
  • What We Don’t Like: no frame inside to hold bag open, may be too narrow for certain tools
  • Return Policy: eligible for free return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 13 for Prime members

Whether dad likes to tinker in the garage or is known amongst  his buddies as Mr. Fix-It, this Carhartt bag will definitely come in handy. Everything will have a place thanks to the large main compartment, 23 exterior pockets and 11 interior pockets. It’s made of  a super durable sturdy synthetic fabric that is water-repellent, too, so he won’t be concerned if it gets wet while he’s fixing a clogged sink.

Best for the Well-Groomed

4. Designer Cologne 12-Piece Sampler Set

  • Why We Love It for Dad: soothing, good scent
  • What We Don’t Like: no full-size bottles, vials may differ from photo
  • Return Policy: non-returnable but eligible for refund or replacement
  • Shipping: may arrive after Father’s Day 

Not sure what scent dad will like best? Thanks to this sampler set, it won’t matter, because he’ll get 12 designer vials of cologne to choose from on any given day from brands such as Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and more. Each vial ranges from .02 to .05 ounces (the larger sizes will have enough for about 15 sprays), so he’ll be good and stocked for awhile—just note that the exact samples may vary based on stock, so if you’re looking for a particular scent, you may be better off buying a bottle directly. 

Best for the One Who Takes Grilling Seriously

5. Everdure CUBE Portable Grill

Everdure

  • Why We Love It for Dad: stay-cool handles, tool storage, heats quickly
  • What We Don’t Like: expensive, smaller than it looks in photos, no cover to kill coals
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 17 for Prime members

Yes, a grill can be a last-minute gift—especially if it’s this cooler-sized tabletop option. Beloved by both novice and professional grillers alike, this charcoal-powered design provides smoky flavor with plenty of heat. While the company claims it can fit six small burgers or three medium-size steaks, reviewers say it’s a bit smaller (one said three burgers is more realistic). Still, the majority loved it for tailgates, family barbecues and even compact decks. Shoppers say it gets hot quickly, so be careful when handling the top and sides, or better yet, use the stay-cool handles, which *actually* stay cool. It also has enough room to store a mess kit underneath.

Best for the Practical Dad

6. Leatherology Leather RFID Wallet

Leatherology

  • Why We Love It for Dad: slim, stylish, protects against theft
  • What We Don’t Like: leather can scratch
  • Return Policy: eligible for free return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 16 for Prime members

It’s time to give dad a major upgrade to his barely-holding-it-together wallet. This pure leather one is slim enough to fit in a back pocket, but still manages to fit six credit card slots, a single bill compartment and two interior pockets inside for maximum storage. It's also available without or with RFID technology to keep scammers from getting his credit card information.

7. Perfect Practice Putting Mat

Perfect Practice

  • Why We Love It for Dad: fun pastime, portable
  • What We Don’t Like: requires storage
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 16 for Prime members

Help him work on his short game during breaks at the office with this mat. With a standard hole and one that's slightly smaller, he and his colleagues can challenge themselves to see who can sink the most putts  like the pros—after all, this is the official golf-putting green of PGA star Dustin Johnson. It will be great practice for the course—or your next family mini golf outing.

Best for the Top 40 Dad

8. Bose Soundlink Speaker

Bose

  • Why We Love It for Dad: high-quality sound, waterproof, 12 hours of play time, floats in water
  • What We Don’t Like: some tech knowledge required
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 15 for Prime members

Whether he bops his head along to top 40 radio or constantly preaches about how good music used to be in the '70s, a dad who likes to jam deserves to hear his playlist wherever he goes. This waterproof, Bluetooth speaker has incredible sound, according to the more than 18,000 5-star reviewers who love it, and is built for durability, so he can use it in his garage, take it camping or listen to it on the beach—it even floats in water! He'll also get a reported 12 hours of play time, so the tunes will never run out.

Best for the Lounge-Lover

9. Southpole 1570 Joggers

Southpole

  • Why We Love It for Dad: cozy, adjustable waist, big and tall options
  • What We Don’t Like: can pill over time
  • Return Policy: eligible for returns within 30 days of receipt 
  • Shipping: arrives by June 14 for Prime members

If we were the betting type, we'd venture to guess that dad will be slipping into these as soon as he gets home from work—and we wouldn’t blame him. Happy buyers say these ones have a soft, cozy interior, and there's a cinch-cord waist for custom comfort. "Listen y'all, these aren't pants. These are warm, soft clouds that just sorta hover around your lower body," wrote one reviewer. Big and tall sizing is available, and you also can’t beat the price point if you’re buying on a budget.

Best for the Handyman

10. Parigo LED Flashlight Gloves

Parigo

  • Why We Love It for Dad: functional, one size fits most, unique
  • What We Don’t Like: battery can be tricky to change
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 14 for Prime members

Whether he’s walking the dogs at night or trying to see what fell under the fridge, these gloves will come in handy (pun intended). There are two bright LED lights at the thumbs to cut through the dark and the glove material is reportedly stretchy enough to fit most hands. It’s one of those things he never knew he needed, but will love.

Best for the Backyard King

11. Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 

Solo Stove

  • Why We Love It for Dad: works without gas, smokeless flame
  • What We Don’t Like: expensive
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt 
  • Shipping: arrives by June 16 for Prime members

There’s nothing quite like gathering around the bonfire to cap off a perfect summer day—especially if dad has a Solo Stove. This portable stainless-steel container makes it easy to ignite a flame, and the double-walled design maximizes airflow for a better, less smoky, fire (the latter part of which we can attest to after trying the original Bonfire model). That means pops won’t have to tend to the fire all night long (unless, you know, he wants to.) This new-and-improved version also comes with a removable ash plate that he can easily lift to clean out. 

Best for he Movie Buff

12. Auking Mini Projector

Auking

  • Why We Love It for Dad: portable, zooms, large-screen projection
  • What We Don’t Like: requires some set up
  • Return Policy: eligible for returns within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 15 for Prime members

There are few things better than getting everyone together for movie night, but it will be  extra enticing on a “big screen,” which dad can make possible with this genius mini projector. It features a 1080p full HD resolution for an ultra-clear picture and is capable of producing a picture of more than 16 feet wide. Thanks to its HDMI and AV cable outlets, he can also use it with a TV stick to watch the big game or to play video games. It’s portable, too, so he can bring it on vacation or when camping to watch it under the stars: Just note that he’ll need to connect it to his phone or laptop to stream said films.

Best for the Grill "Master"

13. Meater Plus Meat Thermometer

Meater

  • Why We Love It for Dad: monitors internal and external temps, sends app notification when ready, free Amazon tech support
  • What We Don’t Like: app difficulties, slow customer service
  • Return Policy: eligible for returns within 30 days
  • Shipping: arrives by June 13 for Prime members

Even if dad says he knows when the steak has hit medium rare just by eyeballing it, he could probably still use a little help. This wireless meat thermometer has two sensors that can monitor both the internal and external temperatures of whatever it is that he’s grilling, plus, it connects to  a phone app that will ping him when it's just right, so he won’t overcook the bird while he's gabbing with Uncle Larry. It’s also dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup and comes with free Amazon tech support in the first 90 days, though shoppers note that it can take a while to hear back from the team.

  • Why We Love It for Dad: ten gaming options, 12-month warranty, folds away for storage, balls included
  • What We Don’t Like: requires two people for assembly, expensive
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 16 for Prime members

Help dad relive his glory days with this old school Pop-a-Shot basketball game. With ten different gaming options and two baskets, it's great for letting off steam solo or showing off dad's skills to the kiddos on the dual-player setting. There’s also the option to run it through a power cord or with batteries, so it won’t be hard for him to move if mom relegates it to the garage (though it also folds up for storage). It comes with four mini balls to get him started and a 12-month warranty in case of any issues—just note that you (or someone else in the household) may need to help him get it set up, according to reviewers, who say it’s a two-person job.

Best for the Dad Who Likes His Coffee Black

15. Stanley French Press

Stanley

  • Why We Love It for Dad: insulated, durable, lifetime warranty
  • What We Don’t Like: can ding if dropped
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days
  • Shipping: arrives by June 14 for Prime members

If dad's a bit of a coffee snob, a French press will be right up his alley. This one's made of stainless steel, so it's nice and tough (Stanley claims it's "built for life" and backs it with a lifetime warranty). Better yet, according to the company, it will keep your father's cup of joe warm for him for up to a whopping four hours. It’s dishwasher-safe and at less than 3 pounds, it’s light enough to take on vacay, too, so he’ll never be without a strong cuppa.

Best for the Dad with Aches and Pains

16. Theragun Mini

Theragun

  • Why We Love It for Dad: effective, custom speed, ergonomic design
  • What We Don’t Like: some cite issues with charging
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 15 for Prime members

There are some aches and pains that a foam roller just can’t just reach. With three speeds and up to 20 pounds of percussive pressure, the Theragun Mini will finally have him saying “ahhh.” This thing will go to town just about anywhere, from his cripplingly sore shoulders to his cramped-up calves, and thanks to its ergonomic design, it won't be piling on additional pain in his hand. Unlike the brand’s larger models, it’s also small enough to take on-the-go at just 1 pound.

Best for the Socks-with-Sandals Dad

17. Birkenstock Leather Milano Sandals

Birkenstock

  • Why We Love It for Dad: deep heel cup, contoured footbed, comfortable 
  • What We Don’t Like: hard to break in, not real leather
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 15 for Prime members

Convince dad that he should really embrace the slides-without-socks life once and for all with these universally loved Birkenstocks. After all, they're comfortable, cool and made to form to his foot. They're synthetic, but they still look—and feel—great after their break-in period, according to reviewers—there's even an extra-deep heel cup. They also come in Faded Khaki here.

Best for the Family MacGyver

18. Rak Magnetic Wristband and Multitool Pen Set

Rak

  • Why We Love It for Dad: super useful, unique
  • What We Don’t Like: easy to overload
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 13 for Prime members

Dad will seriously appreciate not having to get down off the ladder to grab a few nails every 30 seconds thanks to this magnetic wristband. It has ten powerful magnets to ensure that screws, nails, bolts, washers and drill bits won’t fall off as he’s deep in a DIY project. The strap is adjustable too, so it won't be a nuisance while he works. It also comes with two multitool pens that can double as a light, a ruler, a bottle opener, a leveler and a screwdriver (among other things), yet still work as actual pens, too.

Best for the Dad Who Needs His Morning Fuel

19. Brooke & Jess Designs Papa Bear Coffee Mug

Brooke & Jess Designs

  • Why We Love It for Dad: well-crafted, large capacity, also works for grandpa
  • What We Don’t Like: can crack if mishandled
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days
  • Shipping: arrives by June 14 for Prime members

Soon to be dubbed dad or grandpa’s favorite mug, this adorable camping-style cup has Papa’s name right on the side, so no one will steal it. Since it holds a whopping 14 ounces of java, he won’t be due for a refuel before his morning brew runs out, and its heavy-duty ceramic should be nice and sturdy, as long as he handles it with care.  As one helpful shopper pointed out, “It could be used for a nice cup of soup, too,” in colder weather.

Best for the Dad Who Likes the Finer Things in Life

20. Tushy Classic 2.0 Bidet Attachment

Tushy

  • Why We Love It for Dad: refreshing, easy to install, 12-month warranty, eco-friendly, custom water pressure, free Amazon tech support
  • What We Don’t Like: adjustment period
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 13 for Prime members

Dad deserves the very best, and that includes an elevated bathroom experience. You can upgrade his toilet into a fancy bidet like the ones they use in France with this simple attachment. Happy Amazon buyers say it’s super easy to install (he’ll feel very handy doing it) but if he does run into problems, it’s got both free Amazon tech support and a 12-month warranty.  Its custom water pressure options will give his tush a nice spritz while he's on his royal throne and it’s relatively eco-friendly, too: According to the company, it uses just 19 ounces of water, while roughly 9.8 million trees are cut down each year to make toilet paper in comparison.

  • Why We Love It for Dad: easy to store, included knot book, gift box
  • What We Don’t Like: cuff links don’t look expensive
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt

One can never have too many work ties, and this set not only comes with three new ones he’s sure to love, it comes complete with three matching pocket handkerchiefs, four tie clips and four cufflinks, plus a knot book to remind him how to tie them. It even comes in a gift box, so it will be ready to go upon arrival. While the cuff links weren’t as high of quality as some would have liked, most reviewers said this set is of a nice quality overall, and he’ll think of you every time he slips one on.

Best for the Active Dad

22. Fitbit Luxe Activity Tracker

Fitbit

  • Why We Love It for Dad: promotes health, tracks sleep
  • What We Don’t Like: no notifications
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 15 for Prime members

Dad doesn't have to wear a cumbersome, bulky device on his wrist to track his health. This sleek fitness tracker is slim and unobtrusive but still manages to give data on important markers, like steps walked, calories burned, heart rate and even stress level. This little beauty will also track the sheep he counts at night. (Warning: Dad may start pacing around the house to meet his goals.)

Best for the Beard Enthusiast

23. Braun Series 9 Pro 9419S Electric Shaver

If your father's beard situation has gotten a little... well, hairy, in his work-from-home  phase, it’s time to tame things up a bit. With a flexible head and five sharp blades, this razor aims to offer the perfect shave, every time. It’s waterproof, so he can use it wet or dry with whatever foams and gel he prefers, and it's equipped with a "sonic technology" that the company claims will cut dad's shaving time down by ten percent versus other leading premium shavers.

  • What We Don’t Like: sherpa wears down overtime
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: may arrive after Father’s Day

Dad may want to wear slippers all the time, but he doesn’t have to look like he’s wearing them. With a leather exterior, these pass for chic loafers, but are lined with a soft shearling that his frigid toes will thank you for as he strolls through the heavily AC-ed Costco for the third time this week. There's a rubber outsole, so he can take out the trash in them, and the heel folds in, just in case he feels like rocking them in slide form. There’s also a gel insert for extra comfort at the foot. Note that this one may or may not arrive by the big day, so best to prep a backup card, just in case.

  • Why We Love It for Dad: funny, 301 jokes inside
  • What We Don’t Like: cheesy, arrives late
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives after Father’s Day

OK, OK, so this one might be a little late (it’s expected to arrive by June 22), but it’s too good to pass up for the dad who cracks himself up. And sure, he may have a few jokes up his sleeve already, but if you've been hearing the, "Hey, hungry, I’m Dad" bit for the last 12 years straight, it’s probably time for him to expand his repertoire. This book comes with a mix of 301 new wisecracks, including twists on the classics, as well as a few much-needed pointers from legendary dad jokesters. If nothing else, it will give him a chuckle on a glum day.

  • What We Don’t Like: some dislike the app
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 15 for Prime members

Though he may love the idea of AirPods, if dad just can’t keep them from falling out of his ears—aka losing them—these over-the-ear headphones will still let him cancel out the world when he needs to with their incredible noise-canceling capabilities. There are two modes to choose from—quiet, which blocks out all other noise, and Aware, which will help keep him safe if he's crossing a street or waiting for the bus. They also provide great sound, according to the buyers who love them, are quite comfortable and won’t slip off. Plus, Bose claims the battery will run for a full 24 hours straight.

Move over, Snuggie: There’s another wearable blanket that we cannot get enough of—and we'd be willing to bet dad won't be able to, either. It’s extremely cozy (we'd take it over cashmere any day) with a colorful fleece microfiber on the outside and a fluffy sherpa on the inside. You can also get one with dad's favorite team on it, so he'll never have a reason to take it off.

Plus, the sleek glass casing will protect his favorite records from dust—or the cat.

Best for the Bookworm

30. Kindle Paperwhite

Kindle

  • Why We Love It for Dad: large screen, incredible storage
  • What We Don’t Like: doesn’t include case
  • Return Policy: eligible for free returns within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 13 for Prime members

If dad’s always got  his nose stuck in a book, he’ll undoubtedly appreciate having an e-reader that's much lighter than the 800-page hardcover novels he's been working with. This one's waterproof, so he can take it with him by the pool, and has been fitted with a larger screen. There's also a nice, warm backlight that's supposed to be easier on dad's eyes, so it will also be great to toss in his bag on his next work trip. You can get it with or without ads and in two storage options, though the lower 8GB option should be able to store between 3,000 and 6,000 e-books, according to Screen Rant.

Best for the Dad who Needs to Unwind

31. Zyllion Neck and Back Massager

Zyllion

  • Why We Love It for Dad: deep heated massage, velcro straps to keep it in place
  • What We Don’t Like: cover can tear, not rechargeable, has cord
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 14 for Prime members

You could give dad a trip to a masseuse—or, you can give him the gift of daily massages. This device offers a deep-tissue massage to really get into the kinks of his shoulders while he watches the big game, but it can really be used wherever he's got an ache. Plus, it’s heated, so he can truly unwind after a long day of doing dad things. We also like that it’s got velcro straps that will help keep it in place over his favorite chair—just note that it does have a cord, so he’ll have to use it near an outlet. 

Best for the Meat-Eater

The “You’ve Got Meat” note it comes with is just the cherry on the top.

  • Return Policy: eligible for return with 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 13 for Prime members

As we get older, getting to sleep can be increasingly challenging—even more so if you have kids. The Hatch Restore can help your pops get some precious shut-eye, since it functions as a sound machine that will gently lull him to sleep. Come morning, it also works as a sunrise clock, so he can gently rise with the “sun” instead of a blaring alarm if he has an early commute. The integrated app makes it easy to set to his sleep schedule, too: As one reviewer explained, “Restore has enabled me to establish a consistent nightly routine.”

  • Why We Love It for Dad: easy to slip on, comfortable, trendy
  • What We Don’t Like: pricier
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 14 for Prime members

In case you haven’t heard, Crocs are back, which means that dad just might be—*gulp*— in style after you pick him up a pair. Their main claim to fame, however? Comfort, comfort and more comfort, which means they’ll be just the thing for him to slip on when he’s doing yard work or picking the kids up for carpool duty. The rubber sole is non-slip, so he can safely wear them to clean out the pool, and at less than $30, you can nab a pair for yourself, too. (We won't tell.)

Best. for the Gamer

Nintendo

  • Why We Love It for Dad: fun, multi-player, portable
  • What We Don’t Like: expensive
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 13 for Prime members

The Nintendo Switch knows no bounds in terms of entertainment, regardless of his age, and you can get dad one just in time to play the new The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ($63). He can play it as a console or bring it on his next camping trip as a handheld. Best of all, there’s plenty of multi-player games, from Overcooked! 2 ($35) to Mario Party Superstars ($53), so the whole family can join in on the fun.

  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 15 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 13 for Prime members

If Dad is constantly misplacing keys, wallet and everything else, you’ll want to buy him this four-pack of trackers. They work with his iPhone to locate his items through the Find My app, similar to his other devices. If he sees they’re close by but can’t quite track them down, the tag will play a sound on its built-in speaker to alert him to its location. Thanks to you, he’ll never be late for work again! (Psst: Get the matching keychain here to up the gifting ante.)

Aside from the two paddles, he'll get four indoor balls, a carrying case and two cooling towels with your purchase.

Any cocktail aficionado will be obsessed with this machine, which is essentially a Keurig for mixed drinks. Dad can simply insert the cocktail capsule of his choice, choose his desired strength and add his favorite liquor (there are four glass containers to hold gin or rum, whiskey, tequila and vodka). From there, he’ll just need to press a button to make the drink-making magic happen. Not sure which pods he might like best? Check out our official ranking guide here .

Kimdee

  • Why We Love It for Dad: humorous, warm
  • What We Don’t Like: may be too small for dad

  • Shipping: may arrive after Father’s Day

The dad who loves to laugh will delight in wrapping up like a big old burrito in this hilarious tortilla blanket. It’s made of warm flannel material, so it will actually keep him warm during family movie night, too. Some have said it runs small, however, so opt for the 80-inch version to be on the safe side. The delivery date of this item is also unlisted, so if you want to make sure your gift arrives on time, it may not be your best bet.

Best for the Breakfast Sandwich Guru

42. Chess Armory Wood Chess Set

Chess Armory

  • Why We Love It for Dad: interactive, pieces can be stored inside game
  • What We Don’t Like: hinges may be misaligned
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 14 for Prime members

A chess set makes for a great pastime that you can enjoy with the dad who wants to school his kids with strategy. The wooden pieces are made to be stored within the case itself,  but the pretty construction is aesthetic enough to leave out on a table, too. Additionally, each piece is felted so they won’t fall over easily. One reviewer who works as a woodworker noted that the hinges don’t line up exactly, however, which means that the board may not line up perfectly, so you may want to invest in a pricier model, like this one from Muba, if dad is a true chess connoisseur.

Each challenge will be a surprise until you scratch off the directions, and if you play according to the rules, there will be no “take backs” or “skips.” The active dad will love leading the group through each exercise as its fearless leader.

  • Why We Love It for Dad: strategy, fun, interactive
  • What We Don’t Like: learning curve, competitive
  • Return Policy: eligible for return within 30 days of receipt
  • Shipping: arrives by June 13 for Prime members

If Dad hasn’t played Catan yet, he’s in for a major treat. Made for three-to-four players, this settler-themed strategy game has participants aiming to collect the most resources to build up their towns. Once they get going, it is on. Fair warning, though: There might be some family feuds by the end of game night, particularly if dad's got a competitive streak.

Best for the Coffee Connoisseur

Forget Starbucks: If dad’s a java bean snob, nothing less than a can of the world-famous Café Du Monde’s coffee will do. While beignets aren’t included, this 13-ounce can of the company's French Roast (it’s also available in a chicory flavor, $56) means he can enjoy the shop’s best beverage at home—just note that it may be too finely ground for a French press.

There’s a section for amenities, so he can keep track of which sites are his faves, and even a spot for photos to match up with each trip. Note that only the paperback version will arrive by June 15. 

Best for the Working Professional

47. Pegai Leather Portfolio

Pegai

  • Why We Love It for Dad: real leather, sharp look, customization available 
  • What We Don’t Like: some find scent unpleasant, misaligned when closed, no pad included
  • Return Policy: non-returnable but eligible for refund or replacement
  • Shipping: arrives by June 14 for Prime members

Make sure dad’s legal pad game is sharp with this real leather portfolio. In addition to its legal pad pocket, it’s got room for a pen, his business cards and an extra pocket for document storage. You can even get it customized with four letters ($7) or eight ($9), though it will add delivery time that may push it past Father’s Day.  You’ll also have to buy an 11.5-inch by 8.5-inch legal pad separately, but let’s face it: Dad’s worth it.

Best for the Beer Lover

Let dad become the master of his own fridge domain with this fun and engaging beer-making kit. Available in six different flavors, he can churn out his own IPA, wheat or even chocolate maple porter with the included equipment and a little know-how. A pro tip? Print the detailed instructions for him off of the website, since they don’t come with the kit: Reviewers say he’ll want to follow them to a tee to get the best-testing brew. He’ll also need a few extra things, including a strainer, a funnel, a pot and bottles if you want to go the extra mile to help get him started. 

Best for Mr. Fix-It

Dad will love being able to say “I can fix that” on account of his new multitool. It has everything he may need to quickly save the day, including spring-loaded pliers, a wire stripper, a medium flathead driver, an awl, a file, a ruler and more. There’s even a little pocket clip to keep it within arm's reach. As for the quality, the company’s limited lifetime warranty speaks for itself.
