Fathers are some of the most *difficult* people to shop for. Every year, we all ask the question, “What the heck do I get my dad for Father’s Day this year?“
Sure, dad may be A-OK with a cheeseburger and some good ol’ family time, but this year, the Post Wanted team is on a mission to make dad’s gift *extra* special. So, alas, we’ve landed at the .
From a solid pair of everyday shorts to a LEGO set he can get to on a rainy day, this is a collection of products that are surefire bets to make him smile. Whether you’re leaning into luxury this year or need to keep things on a budget, there’s a pick for every shopper.
Ahead, grab these items well before June 15. It’s time to enter the BBQ with a really good gift.
For the dad who’s into LEGO sets, this astronaut one is one of the most-shopped-for building bundles that he’s guaranteed to love. The set comes with a brick-built stand to display it as well.
A Post Wanted reader favorite: the DEWALT 20V Max Cordless Drill/Driver Kit. It features a compact, lightweight design that fits into tight areas, along with a price tag just shy of $100 to make Father’s Day affordable.
Give dad the gift of pain relief with the TheraGun Relief Handheld Percussion Massage Gun, one of the best massage guns we’ve rounded up. It’s portable enough to bring anywhere and helps achieve targeted relief.
Behold: one of the best gifts you can give dad. Like, ever.
The Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine is a beast and one that’ll make a mean cup of coffee, espresso, cappuccino or whatever drink you fancy. It’s worth the counter space, and he’ll have fun whipping up brews.
If a smartwatch isn’t dad’s cup of tea, grab the Oura Ring 4 Smart Ring this Father’s Day. It’s available in a wealth of colors, can be worn around the clock and tracks your heart rate, sleep and other metrics.
It’s a splurge, but well worth it. The Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones come in a variety of colors and feature great noise-canceling technology so you can walk, work or commute in peace. Plus, they look great.
OK, we know — everyone loves the Peloton. If dad is all about exercise, this quality bike is what to grab. Featuring an HD screen and a fabulous design, it will allow dad to skip the gym without skipping his workout.
For less than $50, this snazzy watch is one he’ll deem worthy of wearing all the time. For that reason, we recommend the Timex South Street Watch, which is great for any dad, any age.
Dad can’t skip on moisturizing his dry skin, and the Kiehl’s Since 1851 Facial Fuel Energizing Moisturizer is what we recommend for an easy integration into his skincare routine — or, to inspire him to start one in the first place.
If dad is prone to undercooking (or overcooking) his meat at family barbecues, the ThermoPro TempSpike Wireless Meat Thermometer is a gift for the entire family. It connects to your smartphone and comes with two meat probes.
We love Our Place so much that we reviewed it, and the Perfect Pot is the only pot you’ll need on your stovetop. It’s the perfect size for pasta dishes, sauces and other meals, and it comes in a great color selection.
