We know that some dads aren’t exactly great at dropping hints when it comes to what they want. But you don’t have to default to a gift card on Father’s Day. If you’d like to get him something that doesn’t include a free pass to hit 18 holes, kick-start your search by thinking about what he loves the most. Is there a go-to restaurant order or cocktail he’s tried (failed) to replicate at home? A recent hobby he’s picked up? A new podcast he’s become obsessed with?
The best unique Father’s Day gifts speak to his interests and passions, perhaps even an inside joke between the two of you or the whole family. And to us, they are also made with high-quality materials, sold for a limited-edition run, or are just plain cool. Read on for our running list of ideas for every budget.
