Father’s Day this year is June 18–are you wondering what to get the dad in your life?

If so, you’ve come to the right place. Dads can be notoriously hard to shop for, but our team has curated a thoughtful list of gifts that dads will love. Whether yours is a foodie, outdoorsman, fashion plate, or gadget lover, there is something on this list for every kind of dad.

The Active Dad

If your dad’s dream weekend involves hiking, golfing, tennis, or other outdoor adventures, these gifts can help him enjoy his favorite hobby or take up a new one.

HOKAs have become the it-shoe for active dads, and the Clifton 9 running shoes are a thoughtful gift for a dad who enjoys a weekend 10k or a summer trek in the White Mountains.

If your dad is into tennis, consider getting him the Babolat Pure Aero racket, engineered to help him get the perfect spin on his serve.

For the golfing dad, consider a tool that can help him improve his game. It may be hard to pick out clubs for someone else, so consider treating Dad to a tech tool he might not buy for himself. The deWiz Golf Swing Modifier is a wearable device that can help him analyze and adjust his swing.

And for the outdoorsy dad who wants to leave dry land behind, the Eddyline Sitka LT Kayak is a lightweight, stable, responsive vessel, perfect for an afternoon on the open water or in the lake or inlets.

The Foodie Dad

If your dad is constantly seeking the next great Michelin-starred meal or the latest beverage craze, he’ll love these gift ideas.

Japanese whisky has experienced a groundswell of popularity in recent years due to its more nuanced, approachable flavor profile. Whether your dad is already a fan or has yet to explore the world of Japanese whisky, Hibiki Blossom Harmony is a well-balanced, complex offering from the House of Suntory.

If you’re looking for a gift sourced from closer to home, why not order some brews from Boston-based Trillium Brewing Company? With a beer to suit any palette, you can have your Trillium gift delivered or stop by one of their three Greater Boston locations: Fenway, Canton, or Fort Point.

If your dad enjoys gourmet sandwiches, consider sending him the Corned Beef Rueben Sandwich Kit from Zingerman’s, complete with all the fixings, plus pimento cheese spread, pretzels, and brownie bites for dessert.

The Fashion Plate Dad

If your dad likes to dress well, these timeless pieces can help enhance his wardrobe.

A classic Barbour jacket is a closet staple for any New England dad. With its signature waxed finish, it’s designed to face the winter slush and summer rain with ease.

For the dad looking for a chic tote to accompany him as he returns to the office, this Montblanc briefcase is a minimalist’s dream. Designed with functionality in mind, Montblanc offers modular add-ons for the dad who wants additional storage, like an envelope pouch.

If your dad is a bit of an amateur horologist, you may wish to add a fine timepiece to his collection. Grand Seiko’s Automatic GMT SGM221 is an excellent alternative for dads who already have a favorite Rolex, Cartier, or Omega.

The Tech-Obsessed Dad

If your dad can’t stop talking about AI and the metaverse, he probably loves tech. And if that’s the case, he’ll likely appreciate the latest gadget that can make his life a little more seamless and futuristic.

The Google Nest Hub lets your dad feel like he’s seated at Mission Control from anywhere in the house. This panel gives him full access to all of the smart gadgets around the home, and with voice commands and Quick Gesture technology, he has no-touch control from anywhere.

If your dad is a Steve Jobs devotee, consider purchasing some HomePod speakers. With a full-sized and miniature version, you can outfit every room of the house with a HomePod speaker. And with voice-activated smart technology, Siri can help you play your favorite music from room to room.

The Grill Master Dad

If your dad enjoys hosting backyard barbeques or breaking out the portable grill for camping trips, these gifts can enhance his grilling experience.

The MEATER wireless Bluetooth meat thermometer allows Dad to keep an eye on the ribeye from anywhere in the house or backyard. And if your dad wants some ice-cold refreshments on hand, he might enjoy this Yeti Tundra Haul cooler. With wheels and Permafrost insulation, it’s perfect for the backyard, the family picnic, or the Patriots tailgate.

Once everyone’s been fed, Dad may want to kick back in the pool and enjoy a beverage in the World’s Finest Pool Chaise from Frontgate.

The best Father’s Day gifts come from the heart, so allow your father’s passions and interests to guide your selection. And, of course, include a heartfelt note of appreciation with your present–those words of admiration and thanks will mean more than any item you can buy.
