Commerce Photo Composite — The Spruce / Amelia Manley

Celebrate dad this Father's Day in a way he'll appreciate, that's not just a pair of socks or another tie to add to his collection.

Etiquette experts agree that gifts are always appreciated, even if Dad claims he doesn't want anything. For the dad that has everything, gift him a heartfelt card that shows how much you care, or plan a bonding session for you and your dad doing his favorite activity or spending a night playing his favorite board game. You could even offer to help him out with a project or perform a chore for him. There are more ways than just gifts to make Dad feel special on Father's Day.

To help spark more practical and thoughtful ideas, we researched the best products for dads, evaluating quality, real user reviews, and overall value.

If there's nothing dad specifically needs this year, it's time to think outside the box. August Abbott, PhD and etiquette expert, recommends something Dad won't buy for himself, like a gift voucher to his favorite restaurant or a ticket to a jazz concert. Sticking within his interests is most important: "Gift cards to a particular place would be seen as more thoughtful than an overall gift card," Dr. Abbott shares.

Also, don't forget about your husband on Father's Day. "When fathers are also husbands, the gift is generally more intimate," says Dr. Abbott. This could be as lavish as a weekend getaway or as simple as a dinner out. "When budget is too tight for a getaway, a dinner in a real restaurant rather than in the car after leaving the drive-thru lane can be the momentary escape from a routine that shows him how special he is," she says.

Sometimes the best, longest-lasting gifts require no money at all. "Without spending a dollar, this may be the best, most priceless gift of all: Really get to know him," says Dr. Abbott.

Loo for something functional. Functionality means different things for different fathers, but a lot of the time, practicality trumps novelty. If Dad’s a techie, get him the latest tech gear or a fun new gadget he’s had his eye on. If he’s the kind of dad who says he doesn’t want anything, give him something ephemeral like a gourmet gift basket, like this option from Harry & David, or a case of his favorite wine.

If you and your dad share a passion for spy novels, midcentury-modern architecture, fly fishing, poker, or classic movies, offer him something that will help you bond. Use your gift to show him that you want to spend more quality time together. Or create a virtual shared experience if he lives far away.

Get Dad a gift that he can treasure for years to come. If he’s an accomplished cook, offer him a well-made piece of cookware like a Dutch oven or cast iron pan that will outlive you both. If he’s a Luddite, offer him a classic watch (or a watch subscription), a stylish AM/FM radio, or a beautifully made leather globe for his study.

This roundup was written by Julia Fields, an associate editor for The Spruce covering all things surrounding toys, gifts, and the holidays. She's also covered similar topics in other roles, including toy reviews, product round-ups, expert-focused articles, and more.
