I don’t know about you, but buying gifts for dad (or for guys in general) is so hard for me! Most of the time, they have no idea what they want either lol. Usually, when I ask my Dad or husband what they want for Father’s Day or birthday, I typically get a non-response. “Oh, I don’t know. I don’t really need anything.” Did I ask what you needed? No. I asked what you wanted LOL! Honestly, they would probably say the same thing about wives and moms.
If you can relate, this Father’s Day gift guide will be a life saver for you! I have compiled a list of really thoughtful and relatively inexpensive gift ideas for dad. Now, instead of asking him what he wants, you have tons of great ideas to choose from. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts in the comments!

15 Thoughtful Gifts for Dad He’ll Absolutely Love
1. Men’s Carry-on Travel Bag
This bag is absolutely genius and probably my favorite item on the list! If your dad, husband, uncle, boyfriend etc. travels for business, this is a must have. Why is this bag so awesome? I’m really glad you asked. It is a duffel and a garment bag! It’s perfect for business suits, other necessities and also has a separate compartment for shoes.
2. ON Men’s Cloud Sneakers
Speaking of shoes… If your guy is into fitness, these running ON Cloud running shoes are absolutely perfect! They are lightweight and look super stylish. The sleek and smart design will definitely enhance his morning run or walk. They are a little more on the pricey side, but it’s a gift! Why not splurge a little :).
3. Dr. Scholl’s Shoes Men’s Gaston
If your dad is anything like mine, he probably wears shoes like this lol. These are basically the staple “dad shoe” but in a more stylish form. What I love about these Dr. Scholl’s Men’s Gaston shoes is that they really can be dressed up or down. I could totally see any man wearing these to church, at a restaurant or on a nature walk/hike. They are super versatile!
4. TRAVANDO Men’s Slim Wallet with Money Clip
This TRAVANDO slim wallet ranks high on the list of gifts for dad (or any guy). I cannot tell you how many wallets my husband has gone through. I don’t know how he’s so rough on them, but a wallet is always a great guy’s gift. This one in particular has a luxury look to it and sensible features including a money clip and RFID scan protection.
5. YETI Rambler 20 oz. Travel Mug
If your dad or husband is always on the go, this YETI travel coffee mug is the perfect gift idea. My husband has this exact mug and he brings it with him every morning for work. YETI is a trusted brand for insulated cups and mugs keeping drinks hot or cold for hours.
6. Wireless Charger
My dad is known to be found either in his basement office or kicked back in his living room recliner. This convenient wireless charger takes his relaxation to the next level. All he has to do is plop down in his chair and set his phone down to charge. No fumbling with cords necessary.
7. JORLAI Record Player
This JORLAI record player is definitely a unique and special item on the list of gifts for dad. My dad has a very large record collection, and a few years back, we got him a nice record player he could use to listen to them. Whether your guy has a record collection or just likes listening to them, this gift will certainly earn you brownie points!
8. Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones
Wireless headphones are definitely a gift you could not go wrong with. Everyone loves music, and no one likes being bogged down with cords. Even if the dad in your life does not like the on-ear type, there are also plenty of in-ear wireless headphone options as well.
9. Wireless Smart Lighting Dimmer
My husband loves cool technology gadgets so something like this would be right up his alley. This wireless smart lighting dimmer is an awesome gift that can be used in any space in your home! It can even be paired with an Alexa device, if you have one.
10. Personalized Golf Balls
I don’t know what it is, but personalized items are always so cool. Whether your dad is a golfer or not, these personalized golf balls are a great way to look cool out on the golf course! This gift would also be nice to pair with a golf club, glove, or bag if your guy is really in to golfing.
11. adidas Men’s Superlite Relaxed Fit Performance Hat
While dad is out on the golf course or just simply out running errands, set him up with this good looking adidas hat. It comes in tons of color options in styles so choose one you know he will love.
12. EDIMENS Leather Watch Bands
A new watch band is always a fantastic gift option for Apple Watch wearers. Even if you have purchased a similar gift for him before, it’s nice to have different styles for the same watch to switch it up! This particular EDIMENS leather watch band gives off an air of elegance for men and comes in many color options.
13. Shiatsu Back Shoulder and Neck Massager
While dad is relaxing in his chair with the game on, I bet he would love to have this massager on as well. This Shiatsu massager provides a deep tissue massage with the option for heat as well. It’s a perfect dad gift!
14. UGG Men’s Olsen Slipper
Cozy slippers are a good gift for anyone and these UGG Olsen slippers are perfect for men. Dad will certainly love how comfortable these slippers are and they are so nice looking! Don’t sleep on these UGG slippers as one of the top gifts for dad.
15. Men’s Soft Pajama Lounge Pants
Is it just my husband and dad who live in pajama lounge pants around the house? LOL! I feel like these are a must have for all men. They wear them so often that this is always a good gift to have on the list. I like these Real Essentials lounge pants because they come in a set of three and have a drawstring and pockets.
Happy shopping and Happy Father’s Day to all the dads 🙂
