The best gift for dad—whether for a new dad, step-dad, granddad, or metaphorical dad—is one that’s individual to them. Although they may protest its need, as dad’s often do, we’re here to take the guesswork out of the holiday season by finding the best gifts for every type of dad, at every level.
From feel-good picks for the well-groomed man, such as a luxe comb or skin-care set, to quintessential fatherly finds such as a new pair of New Balance’s or a pair of cozy, striped socks from Bode, our list covers every category. You’ll find gifts for the budding artist, gifts for a hopeful chef (and the go-to grill master), and presents for the fashion enthusiast, too. Below, 100+ gifts for dad that are just as classic, outdoorsy, suave, and likely as tech-obsessed as he is.
