The Best Gifts for Every Type of Dad

Show your appreciation for the man who helps put food on the table by gifting him a Ninja Professional countertop blender. He can use it to make healthy green smoothies in the morning and protein shakes for after his workout.

If your Dad is more of a carnivore, he’ll love a pellet smoker that he can use to BBQ pulled pork for a party or smoke ribs for the family. Flat top griddle grills are also a popular choice and are great for Dads who love making breakfast outside on the grill.

If your Dad is fan of pro or college sports, we’ve got you covered. From the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and NCAA, pick Dad’s favorite team and find some gear he’ll love. Bleacher seats and outdoor chairs with team logos are always popular. Or grab a cornhole board set emblazoned with his beloved team’s name and a matching set of bean bags. For Dads who tailgate, a soft bag or backpack cooler will keep his drinks cold and let him rep his favorite team at the game.

For the Dads who enjoy tackling home improvement projects — you know they can never have enough tools. Go beyond the basic drill and surprise him with an oscillating tool that can do the job of four tools in one for sanding, grinding, cutting, and scraping. There’s no better tool for cutting drywall or trimming wood and floorboards.

Expand his tool set with a power tool combo kit. You can get eight or more tools in one set that all run off of the same cordless battery size. These sets also include storage bags to keep your tools organized and ready for use. For a general tool supply, a household tool set can provide a hammer, pliers, ratchet and sockets, screwdrivers, level, tape measure and many more useful tools for basic home repairs.

For DIY projects in the garage and around the house, consider getting Dad a pneumatic air tool and compressor. Designed to handle heavy-duty tasks from changing tires to installing flooring and moulding, you can find brad and finish nailers, air hammers and impact drivers, and air compressors that will make any tough task much easier.

Despite the proliferation of quick oil change shops on every corner, some Dads prefer to change their own oil and maintain the family’s fleet of vehicles. This money-saving hobby can be both fun and frustrating, so gift your Dad a mechanics tool set that is setup to handle a lifetime of wrenching. Make sure it includes 1/4”, ”3/8”, and 1/2” sockets in both standard (SAE) and metric sizes, so working on domestics or imports is no problem.

A great gift idea for hands-on Dads is a mobile workstation. It helps with storage for tools and hardware while the wheels make it easy to move around.

Yardwork is like therapy for some Dads, so gift him the proper tools to create a beautiful landscape and stunning garden. Start with a cordless blower which will keep everything free from debris and move onto a pressure washer for Dads who love to deep clean. Cordless hedge trimmers will help your dad tame any jungle and a he’ll cherish a great set of pruners for doing more delicate work.

If your Dad loves to sit back, put his feet up, and watch his favorite show, he’ll love doing so while receiving a full body massage from the Osaki zero-gravity reclining massage chair. It features several massage options and 12 auto programs, lumbar heating therapy and Bluetooth speakers.

After his massage, treat your Dad to a foam roller so he can release any remaining kinks in his legs or hips and then set up a backyard hammock for his afternoon nap.

For the Dads who enjoy getting away from it all, we’ve got plenty of gifts to choose from.

Dads will always appreciate a great cooler while camping. Add a portable power station to keep your phone and other essentials charged. Then throw in a camping stove or tent and they have almost everything they need to get outside.

Treat your Dad to a good night’s sleep while camping with the Klymt Insulated Double V Sleeping Pad. The V chambers on this sleeping pad are designed to keep your body’s pressure points off the ground so you can lay flat in comfort and not feel every twig and stone like with traditional foam sleeping mats.

Fishing is a favorite pastime of Dads everywhere. Refresh his tackle gear by gifting him this Big Horn fly fishing vest. He’ll no longer need to lug around a tackle box or awkwardly search for lures in a tray. With a fishing vest he can go hands-free and have everything he needs within easy reach.

High-speed internet access is now up there with water and power as a utility we just can’t live without. If your dad is frustrated with slow speeds and wants better security, get him a mesh Wi-Fi system that provides whole house internet coverage and the ability to customize access for every family member.

If they already have the Wi-Fi sorted, consider a smart lamp, Roku streaming stick, drone or portable projector.
