50 Best Father’s Day Gift Ideas for All Budgets

50 fun, useful, and unique Father’s Day gift ideas for dads of all interests and all budgets from $12 and up.

So… uh… Father’s Day is sneaking up on me way too fast. And today, I realized it’s just over a week away!

Last month, I shared all of my favorite Mother’s Day gift ideas, so it seemed only right to round it out with a Father’s Day guide too.

In preparation, I not-so-stealthily asked Robert what were some of the coolest Father’s Day gifts he could possibly get (besides good ol’ quality time with the fam).

And these were what he came up with, a few of his favorites that he already owns, and a few I threw in as perfect ideas to give him and my dad. Just in case you need some gift ideas for dad in your life.

Not gonna lie… I kind of want a few of these for myself.

Smartphone Screen Magnifier – A great idea for grandpa if he likes to watch a lot of videos on his smartphone but has a hard time seeing the small screen; this is the simple solution to make the screen bigger.

Cold Brew Coffee Maker – Hot June weather just calls for a good slow brewed iced coffee.

Stovetop Espresso Maker – If he’s a die-hard hot coffee drinker though, this is one of the best ways to make coffee the “old school” way. He can even take it on camping trips if he’s outdoorsy.

Retro Style Pickleball Paddle – The rise of the sport of pickleball, especially in dads, calls for a super cool paddle, of course. 😉

Comes with a 6-can cooler below the seat, a cup holder, and will fold up with backpack straps for hands-free carrying.

OluKai Compression Flip Flops – Robert bought these last spring, and he swears they are the most comfortable pair of sandals he’s ever owned. They’re virtually indestructible so far too.

Azzaro Chrome Cologne – Smells so fresh and masculine with pine and citrus notes.

Retro Style Bike / Skate Helmet – I don’t think a helmet can get anymore rad than this one. Perfect for the dad who loves to hit the bike trails (or can shred with the best of them on the halfpipe).

Heavy Duty Sawhorses – I gave these to Robert for Christmas, and we have toted them everywhere for projects any time we need to bust out the power saws. 100% love!
