    27 Last-Minute Gifts ’n’ Gadgets Your Dad Will Actually Use

    I'd get my dad every single thing on this list.

    Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Christmas, shipping times are tricky and can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. Shop early and be sure to double check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!

    1. A beard-grooming kit that'll help freshen up their facial hair. The balm and oil it comes with are fragrance-free, which is great for dads who are sensitive to scents (or already have a signature cologne they like to wear).

    2. A wooden docking station that'll organize their bedside or desk essentials. It has space for a phone, watch, keys, pens, a wallet, and all of their other tiny trinkets and treasures.

    3. A compact treadmill that can be set up right under their desk, so they can get their steps in while they work from home. It comes with a remote that'll allow them to stop and adjust its speed at the press of a button.

    4. A Bose SoundLink waterproof speaker that's chip-, dent-, and crack-resistant, which is great if your dad's a little clumsy. It's also très petite, so they'll be able to squeeze it into their bag or glove compartment.

    5. An AeroGarden device that'll allow your pops to enjoy fresh herbs all year 'round. They'll appreciate this nifty gadget if they have the tendency to kill their plants — its lights are on an automatic schedule, and it'll remind them when their plants need watering.

    6. A bike phone mount so your dad won't have to dig around in their pockets to check their map or skip a song. Reviewers say it's a cinch to install and keeps their phone firmly in place, even on bumpy roads.

    7. An insulated tumbler that'll keep their morning cup of joe hot into the afternoon. It'll also keep their drinks cold — reviewers even say they still have ice in their cup after six hours.

    8. Or an insulated thermos if they'd appreciate something that'll hold enough coffee to last 'em the whole day.

    9. A TUSHY bidet that'll make trips to the toilet a whole new experience. Reviewers say it's easy to install and that it'll work wonders for anyone who is prone to chafing or sensitive to toilet paper.

    10. A wobble chess board that'll have their knights, pawns, and rooks swaying in place as they play. Not only will it give your dad a new way to challenge you, but it'll also look great in their living room or office.

    11. A heavy-duty camping stove if they can't stop talking about next summer's trip to the woods. Reviewers say they're impressed by how sturdy it is and love the protective case it comes with, too.

    12. A stovetop espresso maker that'll let them make them an artisan Americano without having to leave the house. It uses a funnel for the espresso grinds, so they can kiss annoying disposable filters goodbye.

    13. Or a bestselling Breville espresso machine if you really want to splurge on your dad. Yes, this bad lad does cost a pretty penny, but they'll never have to buy another latte or macchiato again (plus you'll get to use it when you visit).

    14. A glare-free Kindle Paperwhite that'll help them declutter their shelves and build the ~virtual~ library of their dreams. It's waterproof, meaning they can fearlessly use it while they're relaxing in the bath.

    15. A leather Timberland wallet that's super slim and can easily slide into a back pocket. Reviewers are super impressed with its high quality, despite its low price.

    16. A water-filtering LifeStraw that they'll definitely want to bring on their next outdoor adventure. It's great for camping and is a solid alternative to iodine tablets and bulky purifiers.

    17. A hand blender that'll make it easier for them to make *good* soup. It's cordless, which means they can emulsify their ingredients from any corner of their kitchen without getting tripped up by a cable.

    18. A pair of Beats Fit Pro earbuds that won't pop out when they least expect them to (like in the middle of a run). Reviewers say their noise-cancelling power is unparalleled and that they're so comfy, they can even wear them to sleep.

    19. A wrap pillow with built-in neck support, so they'll always be able to rest their head (even if they're stuck with an aisle seat). It folds down flat, meaning they won't be stuck lugging around a huge cushion while they're on the go.

    20. A cushy exercise mat they can use when they want to get their sweat on. This thing is seriously grippy, meaning they won't slip and slide at their next yoga class (even if it's in a sauna).

    21. An ergonomic seat cushion that'll make sitting at their desk feel like an entirely new (and seriously comfortable) experience. Reviewers say it's a total game-changer when it comes to easing aches and pains at the office or on long drives.

    22. A 4K Fire TV stick that'll make streaming their fave shows even easier. This lil' doodad won't take up much space on their coffee table, but it will give them access to all their streaming platform subscriptions in one place. It's even Alexa-enabled, meaning they can do everything with their voice.

    23. A heated deep tissue massager for when they want to simply sit back, relax, and soothe their neck and shoulders. Reviewers say that this baby calms their ultra-tense traps like nothing else.

    24. Or a mini massage gun if they could use a little TLC between RMT appointments. It comes with four different heads they can use to target all kinds of knots and sore spots.

    25. A digital thermometer that'll instantly tell them the internal temperature of whatever meat they're cooking. Its probe is teeny-tiny, so they won't lose too much juicy goodness when they poke away at their roast.

    26. A copy of Six California Kitchens that'll teach them a thing or two about cooking through both recipes and stories. Reviewers love that it's both a memoir and a cookbook and say the recipes aren't super daunting.

    27. And finally, a golf range finder that'll help them take their game to the next level. It'll help them find their target and measure distance, so they can swing with better accuracy.
