We Unearthed 38 of the Best Father’s Day Gifts Hiding on Amazon

Believe it or not, Father’s Day is only a few weeks away (June 18, folks!). If you want to get ahead on your shopping—read: ordering the perfect present before everything sells out—now’s the time to start thinking about gifts. Our trick? Find something that speaks to his passions. Whether your dad is always whipping up a new recipe or is the resident fixer-upper of the household, our 30-plus roster of the best Amazon Father’s Day gifts will feed his hobby. Read on for our lineup of father-figure-appropriate ideas uncovered on the giant e-tailer. Including but not limited to a couple of cool cookbooks worthy of his collection; a waxed canvas apron to protect his shirts while tinkering around the house; and luxurious shaving cream he’d never buy for himself. 

Best DIY Gifts

For the DIY dad who’s always eager to grab his toolbox (the one you call whenever you’re unsure of what type of paint to buy or wrench to use), gift him something to elevate his workshop. Our top picks include a minimalist cordless drill kit, a retro Trusco toolbox, a waxed-canvas apron designed to last, and a design-forward utility cart to store (and hopefully organize) all his wares. 

Best Outdoor Gifts 

If a garden, camping, or the pool occupies the majority of your dad’s brain space, we found more than a few outing-appropriate accessories that he can tote to the backyard. There’s also a foldable Adirondack chair and quilted hammock that you’ll want to try out the next time you visit. 

Best Self-Care Gifts

Sometimes the best Father’s Day gift is an opportunity to unwind. Treat Dad to the ultimate day of rest and relaxation with products to make him feel his very best. Our top picks include a pair of Bluetooth-enabled smart goggles that provide stress-relieving vibrations and heat therapy; shaving cream scented with sandalwood, patchouli, and vanilla; a professional-grade Wahl beard trimmer; and a War of the Worlds–scented candle. 

Best Travel Gifts

For the dad who loves to be on the go—we’re talking backpacking, boating, beaching—satiate his unstoppable energy by equipping him with portable gear that will allow him to stay on the move. Our top gifting picks run the gamut of a very sleek portable air compressor that pumps up deflated tires, a minimalist metal money clip that won’t bulk up his pockets, and a Bluetooth Marshall speaker that will take him back to the 1960s.

Best Kitchen Gifts

If your dad feels most at home flipping hot dogs or shaking up cocktails at the family barbecue, there are endless gift options that will be right up his well-seasoned alley. This cast-iron burger press, for example, has 34,000-plus positive reviews attesting to its versatility.
