KATIE BANDURSKI FOR TASTE OF HOME

For the Baseball Fan

MLB Ballpark Map Glasses

Dad probably can’t make it to the stadium for every game. Give him the next best thing with this set of MLB map glasses from Uncommon Goods. These lowballs feature a detailed map of his favorite ballpark, and they’re perfect for sipping whiskey, soda or other concessions. I gifted a set to my husband, who loves the nostalgia factor, expressing that they help him reminisce on days at the ballpark with his dad. If baseball isn’t his thing, choose from NFL or NHL themes, too.

KATIE BANDURSKI FOR TASTE OF HOME

For the Napper

Double Hammock

Father’s Day is all about R&R. Help dad relax in style with this double hammock, which we named the best overall option in our backyard hammocks testing. Not only are there over a dozen stylish prints and colors to choose from, but the extra-wide width provides plenty of comfort. Plus, after over a year of use, the stand and net are still in excellent shape. We’re confident dad will enjoy this Father’s Day gift year after year.

7 Layer Caramel Cake slice
MARY HENN FOR TASTE OF HOME

For the Sweet Tooth

Caroline's Caramel Cake

If dad has a sweet tooth, we found the perfect treat. This 7-layer caramel cake from Caroline’s Cakes is soft, sugary and easy to devour. It arrives frozen in a giftable red tin, meaning dad can enjoy it right away or at a later date. Tester Mary Henn was impressed with the cake’s homemade taste and southern charm. She served it at a family gathering to rave reviews: “The cake received several compliments on its taste, and people wanted to know where I’d gotten it!”

Weber performer
TASTE OF HOME

For the Charcoal Purist

Weber Performer Grill

A grill is a classic Father’s Day gift for a reason. And after testing eight of the top charcoal grills on the market, our experts are confident that the Weber Performer provides the best bang for your buck. Dad will love all the handy features, like a built-in prep table, portability and sturdy design. Plus, you just can’t beat a Weber kettle grill’s top-tier performance and longevity. Pass the tongs, please!

Bloody Mary Bar Gift Basket
EMILY WAY FOR TASTE OF HOME

For the Brunch-er

Bloody Mary Bar Gift Basket

As a Wisconsinite, I’ve seen just about everything on a Bloody Mary—including an entire fried chicken! This Bloody Mary gift basket isn’t quite as over the top, but it does give dad a wide array of goodies to craft his perfect morning beverage. “With lots of olives, tomato mix, fiery hot pickles and plenty of cheese for garnish, I can’t recommend this enough for fans of the savory and spicy drink,” says tester Emily Way. “It even comes with snacks like nuts, sausage and crackers. Just one thing to note: you’ll need to bring your own booze.”

For the Dad with a Sense of Humor

Nessie Ladle

Whether he’s king of the chili cook-off or just in charge of serving supper, dad will get a kick out of this Loch Ness monster ladle. An excellent budget Father’s Day gift, this serving tool is made of sturdy plastic and looks downright hilarious peeking out of a vat of soup or sauce.

The Versatile Hexclad Pizza Steel
KATIE BANDURSKI FOR TASTE OF HOME

For the Pizza Pro

HexClad Pizza Steel

For the guy who always looks forward to pizza night, gift the secret to crafting pro-worthy pies indoors. The HexClad pizza steel is one of the best products I’ve tested. It’s durable, gets insanely hot and has replaced the need for an air fryer in my kitchen. Most importantly, it yields crispy, golden pizza pies with zero sticking. And, it’s cheaper than a full-fledged pizza oven! Get the full scoop in my HexClad pizza steel review.

For the Beach Goer

Ninja FrostVault Cooler

If dad’s idea of a good time is cracking open a few cold ones at the beach, he’ll get a lot of use out of a trusty cooler. The Ninja FrostVault delivers, keeping wares cold for days. Our testers were particularly smitten with the built-in dry drawer that acts as a refrigerator for sandwiches, fruits and other items that you want to keep cold but not frozen. “I’m a big-time sandwich eater,” explains tester Annamarie Higley in our Ninja cooler review. “And I love that this wouldn’t force me to choose between having hard bread from leaving it packed in ice or melty cheese from leaving it in my tote.”

Trade Coffee
KATIE BANDURSKI FOR TASTE OF HOME

For the Coffee Lover

Trade Coffee Subscription

Is more stuff the last thing on dad’s wish list? If so, gift him something perishable, like a Trade coffee subscription. This genius coffee club ships freshly roasted bags of coffee from all over the country. After testing the service for a few months, I was impressed with how quickly it identified my coffee preferences. And while it’s certainly more pricey than a can from the grocery store, Trade delivers high-quality beans at a fair price.

Nfl Chef's Knife
KATIE BANDURSKI FOR TASTE OF HOME

For the Halftime Home Cook

Hedley & Bennett NFL Chef's Knife

Dad will love subtly showing off his team pride while prepping guac for game day. This high-quality and versatile chef’s knife comes with an engraved NFL team logo and a lifetime guarantee. I’ve been using this knife for over six months and it still performs as good as new—which is no surprise since Hedley & Bennett makes one of our all-time favorite knife sets.

Big blanket
MADI KOETTING FOR TASTE OF HOME

For the Blanket Hog

Big Blanket

Trust me—there’s enough room for dad, pets and the entire family under the aptly named Big Blanket. No one will be left out when this behemoth 10×10-foot best blanket comes out for movie nights. My family loves the uber-soft, stretchy fabric that has a cozy, subtle weight to it. Plus, despite its size, the Big Blanket is still machine-washable for easy cleanup.

Toha24 Great Clubs Beer Of The Month Club Nicole Doster 01 Ssedit
NICOLE DOSTER FOR TASTE OF HOME

For the Hoppy Dad

Beer of the Month Club

This beer of the month club is like a brewery tour dad can take on his couch. It offers a dozen tipples, ranging from super light summer ales to heavier, hoppier mountain ales. Plus, beer club subscribers receive a newsletter with info about each brewery and a ratings guide. Tester Nicole Doster explains: “The 12-pack was perfect for entertaining. I invited some friends over to help taste test. The group enjoyed the UFO White Ale the best as it tasted like a fancier Blue Moon—light with hints of orange peel. It was perfect for a summer afternoon.”

Rastellis Meat Delivery Service
ALLISON ROBICELLI FOR TASTE OF HOME

For the Dad with Protein Goals

Rastelli's Meat Delivery

Whether he’s looking forward to summer grilling or experimenting with the carnivore diet, dad will love a Rastellli’s meat delivery. With options for grass-fed beef, organic chicken and even seafood, it’s easy to find a box he’ll love. Plus, you know you’re sending quality eats. Rastelli’s earned the “best sausage” accolade in our best meat delivery testing.

Solo Stove Fire Pit Tohslpl23 Pu6186 Dr 04 18 4b 1

For the Marshmallow Lover

Solo Stove Smokeless Fire Pit

Summer nights spent next to a smokeless fire? Sign us up! The Solo Stove Bonfire has been around for years now, but it’s still one of the best fire pits our testing team has encountered. We love the sleek design that makes it easy to light a fire—and keep it going. Plus, dad won’t smell like smoke every time he wants a s’mores fix. Read more in our full Solo Stove fire pit review.

Stanley Pour Over
MARK DERSE FOR TASTE OF HOME

For the Camper

Stanley Pour-Over

For the dad who can’t get enough of the great outdoors, give a practical Father’s Day gift like this pour-over set. Made by Stanley (AKA the brand behind our favorite Quencher tumbler), this sturdy option is rugged and ready for the outdoors. Unlike other glass and ceramic pour-over models we tested, the Stanley is made of stainless steel and even comes with a built-in filter. Dad can simply throw it in his pack for easy, on-the-go brews.


FAQ

What is the most popular gift given on Father’s Day?

Proof that heartfelt words go a long way, the most popular Father’s Day gift is a greeting card. Other popular gifts given on Father’s Day include clothing (think socks, ties and T-shirts) as well as gift cards and special outings, like sporting events or a dinner out.

What do most men want for Father’s Day?

Ask any devoted dad and he’ll tell you that what he most wants for Father’s Day is time with his family, whether that’s going to the movies, having a BBQ or just hanging out at home. Time to relax and sleep in takes a close second, and “experiences over stuff” is also a common answer. Whatever you choose to gift the dad in your life, make sure it’s personal and thoughtful.

What are some good Father’s Day ideas?

You can’t go wrong with a thoughtful gift (like the ones we suggested above), but other fun Father’s Day ideas include going fishing or hiking, organizing a BBQ for Dad and his friends or putting together a family game night.

How do I make dad feel special on Father’s Day?

You don’t have to spend a ton of money to make Dad feel special; a thoughtful card or a photo montage of favorite memories both make wonderful gifts. Plan a day doing everything that he loves to do, and make an effort to be totally present—that means putting away the phones and really focusing attention on Dad.
