The Best Father’s Day Gifts Our Dads, Husbands and Uncles Still Talk About

"I bought this for my husband as a gift from our son, and he absolutely loved it. Wonderbly has a ton of options when it comes to who the book can be for — dads, grandfathers and uncles — and from —one kid, multiple kids, pets. But the best part is how easy it to personalize the book with names, physical features and even a dedication page." — Melissa Bykofsky, Executive Editor

"My husband absolutely loved this custom Pokemon card from the kids. It's actually framed and sitting in his office. I loved that I could choose the characters to get a fairly accurate depiction of our family, and it was so fun to personalize his 'attack' skills with things the kids love the most about him." — Sarah Darby, Associate Director, SEO Content Strategy

P.S. - If your father figure prefers sports to Pokemon, consider a custom baseball trading card ($13+). 

"My husband loved this custom drawing from a picture I took of him and daughter together. He loved it because it was unexpected, personalized and something he will have forever. He has it hanging in his office and continues to say (after 4 years!) how special it is to look at it often." — Olivia DeLong, Senior Health Editor

"I bought these socks for my husband with our baby's face on them. They are so silly and sure to put a smile on the dad in your life's face. Your baby will love it too as he or she grows and realizes it's their picture. My son is 6 now and he loves it when his dad wears his face socks." — Shelley Gingrich, Executive Director, Brand Solutions

“My husband loves a HOT cup of coffee in the morning and, after our daughter was first born, that was hard to come by. This mug is great because it keeps the coffee at his preferred temperature for up to two hours. I gave it to him two years ago and it still works great!” — Leah Rocketto, Associate Commerce Director

“Hubby loves coffee but has a ton of morning meetings, so I got him an Ember mug to keep his coffee at the perfect temp.” — Tika Fender, Senior Art Director

“My dad was always the one behind the camera, so we had very few photos with him and of him. So, getting him a family photo shoot was a chance for us to capture him. He had also just been diagnosed with cancer, and I think he wanted to capture this moment before everything changed. It was really a gift to all of us because now we have those photos to look back on. And, we were able to repurpose the photos for other things. That Christmas, for example, we made him wrapping paper out of the photos, which he got a kick out of.” — Leah Rocketto, Associate Commerce Director

“My dad takes a whole lotta' pride in handling his own yard business, from lawn care to landscaping. So, last Father's Day I surprised him with a shiny new fire pit to upgrade his yard setup even more. Solo Stoves are basically catnip for dads, and the Bonfire 2.0 was the perfect size for his front patio. He and my mom enjoy cocktail hour out there together most evenings, parked in two Adirondack chairs. It's a gift that now supports endless date nights for the two of them.” — Elizabeth Buxton, Commerce Content Director

“Basically all of the dads at our local pool have this hat, and now that I got one for my husband, I can see why. It provides great sun protection but is breathable and more stylish than a lot of the sun hat options out there. It's also nice that it comes in different sizes.” — Robin Hilmantel, Senior Director of Editorial Strategy and Growth

“I bought this for my dad as a gift from his grandkids. It's a simple and small figurine, but it’s beautifully crafted and neutral enough to look like many people. It depicts a sweet moment between a grandfather and a grandchild. My dad loves it and has it displayed on a shelf in their home.” — Shelley Gingrich, Executive Director, Brand Solutions

"This book is inexpensive and really cute for kids to complete — and a slight upgrade from the print-outs they get at school. Plus, there's enough space that multiple kids can answer each prompt. Dad can keep this on the shelf and reread (and tear up) every year." — Katie Martin, Community Director

“My dad LOVES a cheesy Hawaiian shirt during the summer — so I thought it was high-time to gift him a slightly cooler, more elevated iteration of the classic cabana style. Tombolo is pricey, but worth the investment for a shirt that passes approval for both dad (and discerning daughter). The shirts are not only well tailored (featuring a boxier fit) and have playfully unique designs, but they're also incredibly soft and breathable. My dad loved his so much, I bought him another one for his birthday later that year — and, am planning to surprise him with a new one this Father's Day. It's become such a tradition, that my husband (and soon-to-be first-time dad) is getting in on it as well.” — Elizabeth Buxton, Commerce Content Director

"For Father's Day or my husband's birthday, I let the kids pick out a t-shirt. Inevitably they pick out ones with unicorns and cats and, of course, he gets a good laugh and loves it. And yes, he wear them out and gets lots of compliments." — Stephanie Porter, Brand Creative Director

“My uncle really stepped into the grandfather role after my dad passed away, so I wanted to get him something to acknowledge the special relationship he was building with my daughter. This is a timeless gift that sits on his desk at work and, each Father's Day, I swap out a new photo of him and my daughter.” — Leah Rocketto, Associate Commerce Director

"My daughter's godfather always plans hikes whenever we travel together. So when he and his wife were expecting their first baby, we bought them the Osprey backpack carrier. We chose it because of the rave reviews for comfort — for both baby and parent — and the ample storage space for diapers, wipes and snacks. He later told us the backpack lives up to the hype." — Leah Rocketto, Associate Commerce Editor
