20 Father's Day gifts your dad will actually like

If your dad is seriously into his hobbies, a subscription box is the gift that keeps on giving. There are tons of options, from the classic Book of the Month club to Vinyl Me Please, a service that will keep dad stocked up on great tunes. 

If your dad isn't the type to indulge in fancy wines or vinyl records, go for a practical subscription service. Dollar Shave Club is a good choice — every dad has to shave, right? — as is a fancy electric toothbrush from Quip or Burst. 

Dads tend to be pretty practical regarding their shaving routine, but their faces deserve a little pampering, too! Score a fancy shaving cream or aftershave from a brand like Cremo, Le Labo or Aesop, or if your dad's got a beard, opt for a quality beard oil. 

Even the most finicky dad will appreciate the luxury of a great pair of socks. Good-quality wool hiking socks are a solid option for outdoorsy types, while Happy Socks boasts a wide selection of colorful options if your dad likes something a little more flashy. 

For the dad who has everything, consider skipping the traditional gift and plan an activity for just the two of you. Whether that's a weekend fishing trip or simply a nice dinner on a weekend you're both free, he'll appreciate the time together. 

Whether he's an avid birdwatcher or simply interested in snooping in on the neighbors, pretty much any dad will appreciate a nice set of binoculars. Brands like Nikon and L.L. Bean offer a wide range of options that will suit any hobby — and budget. 

If your dad wears a suit regularly, he probably already has a pair of cufflinks. But there's no such thing as too many pairs of cufflinks, especially when there are so many cool vintage options on sites like eBay and Etsy. 

For dads who love to write — or simply keep a lot of to-do lists — a nice fountain pen is a great everyday luxury. Depending on your budget, you can drop around $30 on the beloved Pilot Metropolitan or go glam with a Montblanc if you're really looking to splurge. 

Your dad's wallet is probably as old as you are. Upgrade his credit card situation with a sleek new billfold from Fossil, or if he's into tech, this Normest wallet offers a slot for an Airtag just in case he loses track of it. 

Even if your dad isn't quite sure how to turn on the Bluetooth on his phone, he'll quickly come to appreciate the ability to listen to his favorite tunes when he's out working in the yard or hanging out on the patio. 

If your dad travels for work or for pleasure, it's likely that his suitcase could use an upgrade. For dads frequently on business trips, an upgraded carry-on bag is a great choice, while a luxe leather duffel's a better option for a dad that's constantly heading out on vacation. 

Give Dad a little dose of nostalgia this year with a vintage band tee that will remind him of his favorite tunes — and his glory days. Browse eBay, Etsy, and tee seller Wyco Vintage for unique finds, or scope out local vintage shops. 

If your dad's really into reading, an Audible subscription will keep him in audiobooks all year long. If he's more into music or podcasts, consider an Apple Music or Spotify subscription — premium, of course — to help him broaden his musical horizons. 

For the grill-obsessed dad, an infrared thermometer is a great way to help ensure that all his grilling projects turn out perfectly. 

Toss out your dad's old (probably smelly) slippers and give him an upgrade this year. Whether he needs a new pair of Crocs for the garden or a super-cozy pair of shearling-lined Ugg slippers, his feet will thank you. 

Sometimes, there's no greater gift than the gift of silence. Score a pair of noise-canceling headphones, like Airpods or the Bose QuietComfort ear buds, so he can enjoy his music in peace — and so can anyone else who lives with him. 

OK, it seems a little dorky, but your dad will almost assuredly find that a cozy beanie that's also equipped with a headlamp is totally a practical gift. Whether he needs it for DIY projects around the house or nighttime runs, you can bet this is one gift that will definitely be used. 

Your dad deserves a good night's sleep, and if his pillow isn't that great, he's probably not getting all the sleep he needs. Consider investing in an upgrade, like a TempurPedic pillow made with memory foam, for a gift he'll use every single night. 

If your dad's the type to really insist that he doesn't need any gifts, consider making a donation to his favorite charity in his name. It's a thoughtful gift, and one that won't add to the clutter in his already-crowded garage. 

Whether your dad's an avid outdoorsman or simply wants to take cool time-lapse videos of his rose garden, a GoPro (or other portable digital video camera) is a great choice. It's a little bit of a splurge, but if your dad is the adventurous type, you can be sure it will get a ton of use.
