Father’s Day is coming up fast — like June 16 fast. So have you thought about what you’re gifting the dad, stepdad, grandpa, uncle, or father figure in your life? If you’re having trouble finding the perfect gift on a deadline, fear not: We rounded up 31 last-minute gifts that are anything but half-baked.
What I Love About Dad Fill In The Love Book Fill-In-The-Blank Journal
If you're looking for a sweet, sentimental gift, get him one of these "What I Love About Dad" books. Simply fill in the journal with thoughtful answers to the prompts given before gifting for a pocket-sized gift he's sure to read again and again.
Owala FreeSip Twist Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle
If your dad is already a fan of Owala's famous water bottle (as are we) he's going to love this recent launch from the brand, too. Featuring the same sip and swig design as the original, this bottle differs in two ways: a slimmer profile and the ability to hold hot, cold, and carbonated beverages. Just when we thought Owala couldn't get better, it outdoes itself.
AUCIP Pickleball Paddle Set
If your dad is a pickleball fan (I mean, who isn't these days?) make sure he has everything he needs to dominate on the court with this set from AUCIP. Coming with two lightweight fiberglass pickleball paddles, pickleball balls, grips, and a pickleball bag, it's the perfect gift for dad's who love the game or are just getting into it.
Nespresso VertuoPlus Espresso Machine
Transport dad to an Italian bistro — without ever leaving the kitchen — with Nespresso's VertuoPlus machine. With this appliance on his side, he can pull rich espresso shots, as well as gran lungo and coffee. Each morning (or let's be honest, morning and afternoon), he'll get to choose from a wide selection of Nespresso's expertly-formulated capsules that deliver barista-worthy brews every single time.
ESPN +
For all of the years that you mooched off your dad for his streaming subscriptions, pay it back by giving him ESPN+. He’ll get access to thousands of events, exclusive series from MLB, NHL, MLS, Series A, FA Cup, Top Rank Boxing, and more. Let’s just say if he loves sports, this gift is a no-brainer.
Explorer Kit
Every coffee-loving dad needs a Driftaway Coffee Subscription. Each subscription starts with an “Explorer Kit” of four coffees from around the world, which he then rates online. His ongoing deliveries will then be catered to his tastes. These boxes are seriously customizable, with choices for just about every type of coffee for every type of machine, and can be purchased in 3, 6, or 12-month subscriptions.
GCI Outdoor Big Surf with SunShade Beach Chair
Is your dad a sun bum? Then he needs this beach chair from GCI. Complete with straps that makes it uber portable, this chair features a four-position reclining backrest, a slide-out table, and an adjustable sun shade to protect him from the sun's harmful rays (because we can't always be there to remind him to apply sunscreen).
Tumbler Rolling Knife Sharpener
For the dad with serious knife skills, how about the ultimate knife-sharpening system? Ian, The Kitchn's senior commerce editor, said that although it takes some practice, the Tumbler Rolling Knife Sharpener is great for beginners. "I have a double-sided synthetic whetstone that I’ve used for years, but the Tumbler is admittedly a lot faster," he wrote. "It also takes much less thought than a whetstone, since you don’t really have to worry about getting the correct angles. For the sake of the article, I dulled one of my knives on purpose, and while it broke my heart to scrape the edge along the back of a fork, the Tumbler Diamond Rolling Knife Sharpener Set had it back to a very sharp edge in just a few minutes. Credit where credit is due!"
Groove Life Groove Wallet
Wallet's are a classic dad gift, but he's never had one as cool as the Groove Life Groove Wallet. This innovative fund is one part, one mart card holder with a fun quirk: the wallet fans out up to six cards for easy access, making finding whatever card he needs a bit more fun.
Handmade Wooden Shaving Gift Set
Upgrade his shaving kit to one that works better than flimsy (and environmentally-unfriendly) single-use razor heads and looks way nicer. This set includes everything Dad needs to get a close and smooth shave: safety razor, replacement blades, shaving cream brush and mixing bowl, and a stand to hold everything. The main pieces are also made by hand from stylish wood, so this will look great on any bathroom shelf.
Your Baby's First Word Will Be DADA
For new dads, it's going to be heard to beat the gift they just received in the form of a bouncing bundle of joy, but they're sure to get a kick out of Your Baby's First Word Will Be DADA. The adorable board book from Jimmy Fallon is a fun way to help dad win the elusive "first word" battle.
Custom Framed Pet Portrait

Thermacell Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller
Does your dad love spending time on his patio but also hates all the mosquitos? We've got the perfect thing. Instead of sticky mosquito repellent spray or a ton of citronella candles, consider a highly effective rechargeable mosquito repellent machine! This chargeable and portable mosquito repeller from Thermacell dispenses an almost undetectable vapor that wards off mosquitos within a 20-foot radius of its location. Now, he can garden or sit outdoors without hesitation!
Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earphones

Plus, they're also currently $70 off, which is great for a couple of reasons but most of all because you know dad loves when you can score a great deal.
My Father's List: How Living My Dad's Dreams Set Me Free

Sony's Wireless Premium Noise Cancelling Headphones use Dual Noise Sensor Technology to block out distractions but also feature an Ambient Sound mode for when he needs to keep an ear out for the doorbell or phone. Since comfort is key, they have an adjustable headband, soft oval earpads, and a swivel design that won’t hurt hia ears at the end of a long day.
