We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A set of four stainless-steel steak knives from BuzzFeed's Tasty to show them that a) they did a job well done, b) they really are a rare find, and c) they're a cut above the rest.
2. A super secure bike rack that can fit two bikes, because all they want to do is spend time with you (and show off all their new fancy cycling equipment).
3. BuzzFeed's Goodful cold brew maker so Pops can stay caffeinated all day, every day... and yet somehow still manage to fall asleep every time the TV is on.
It's so easy to use — they just add their favorite coffee grounds to the filter, pour cold water over, brew in the fridge, and voila!
Promising review: "Super easy to use and fits perfectly into my fridge. Great price and great for making cold brew at home when you don't want to spend the money at the coffee shop. Definitely would buy as a gift for someone." —Kendra A Lambert
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).
Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.
4. A Hydro Flask tumbler that will keep their cold brew cold (or a hot brew hot!). But, most importantly, it fits in most car cupholders so they can take it to go.
Promising review: "If you have not tried a Hydro Flask, then you are missing out. I didn't know what I was missing until I got one. No more reheating my coffee every 10 minutes or so because this keeps it nice and hot. Also on the flip side, ice cubes don't melt immediately in cold drinks and cause your drink to get all watery." —KPCG2011
Get it from Hydro Flask for $18.71 (originally $24.95; available in eight colors).
Shipping info: Expedited 2-Day shipping is available for an additional cost; orders placed using FedEx Ground shipping typically take 2–5 business days to process and arrive 1–5 business days after.
5. A Filtrete air purifier, which will help remove up to 99.97% of irritating airborne particles so they can breathe a little easier... and maybe stop snoring? Either way, their allergies will thank you.
Promising review: "I got this due to seasonal allergies and asthma. This has been a lifesaver and works great! I love that I can turn off the light at night since I use it in my bedroom and the noise level is fine as it becomes white noise in the background." —MFrink
Get it from Amazon for $99.99.
Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.
6. A heavy duty pizza stone that'll replace the grill as their favorite new toy. Making pizza is not only fun (and saves money!) but it's a great way to spend some quality time with the big guy.
Pizza stones absorb excess moisture from the dough, meaning they'll get a crispier, more evenly baked crust than they'd get if they just used a sheet tray. Plus, they can use it on the grill, too!
Promising review: "Whether you make pizza from scratch or enjoy a frozen pizza from the market, this pizza stone is essential for the best at home pizza experience. Preparing your pizza on a stone assures a crispy crust and removing the pizza from the oven, on the heated stone, assures you that it will remain warm while the slices are consumed." —Steve
Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in three sizes).
Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.
7. A tiny Bluetooth FM transmitter to give them the car upgrade they need without having to spring for one of those brand-new cars with a big bow on it. Not only can Dad rock out to whatever, but this also works for phone calls, too.
Promising review: "The connection was easy to set up and the sound is clear. I used this for an eight-hour road trip without any problems and I was able to answer many phone calls while traveling." —Taz
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

8. A Brightland olive oil subscription for the dads with a sophisticated palate. They'll kick things off with Brightland's bestseller, The Duo, which includes their popular Awake and Alive olive oils.
What they'll get: Their first package will include two of Brightland's bestselling olive oils, and after that they can customize their packages via Brightland's subscriber hub.
Brightland is a WOC-owned small business that sources olives for their oils from a family-run farm in California.
Promising review: "I have yet to find another olive oil with better flavor than Brightland Co. I find myself making meals specifically just to use this lovely olive oil. It is a total game changer. Say goodbye to that nasty bitter flavor that comes with most commercial oils, and hello to an explosion of flavors, and spice. (Surprisingly spicy!) Ordering and shipping are always a breeze, you can also easily adjust the subscription to suit your needs. I’m so happy to have found this product, it honestly makes everything taste better." —Jen
Get a gift subscription from Brightland for $65/month (available once monthly or every 2–3 months). For gifts, you can also add a personalized message at checkout.
9. A two-pack of crewneck T-shirts, which is not only practical (a key dad requirement) but also comfortable and stylish. Grab it in a bunch of colors (a pro dad move) and call it a day. This checks a lot of boxes!
Promising review: "I was skeptical based on the price but pleasantly surprised once I opened the package. The shirts are comfortable, soft, thick(but not too thick) and great quality." —David B.
Get them from Amazon for $9.69+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 41 color combos).
Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.
10. A pair of low-top sneakers to help your pops polish their look. Dad sneakers may be having a moment (those white NBs have been part of the dad uniform for YEARS), but these sleek shoes can be dressed up or dressed down and will always make them look good.
Promising review: "These shoes are very comfortable, look great, and seem to be pretty high quality. The sole is great and they are comfortable at first wear without any time needed to break them in." —Daniel C.
Get them from Nisolo for $150 (available in men's sizes 8–12.5 and five colors).
Shipping info: Orders are shipped Monday-Friday (excluding most major US holidays) and processed within 1–3 business days. Expedited 2-Day and Overnight shipping options are available for an additional cost.
11. A memory foam seat cushion, which will make any chair much more comfortable. Will it stop dads everywhere from making weird noises every time they stand up? No promises, but this is your best bet.
Promising review: "This seat cushion is SO GOOD. I have had a lot of problems with pressure on my tailbone and resulting back problems, and they've been getting worse. I will be honest, I have only tried the old-fashioned medical donuts, so I don't have much to compare it to. However, this cushion is nicely thick, and the cutout and contours are so perfect and they take all pressure off my tailbone. After working for a few hours, I got up and for the first time in almost a year, didn't have pain. Normally, the pressure on my tailbone becomes pretty bad while sitting, but produces an even sharper pain upon standing. Feeling so great for the first time prompted me to buy another for work so I could keep this one at home and never be without it! Hopefully, reducing the pressure on my tailbone will also help it heal, but even being free from pain is wonderful." —CSC
Get it from Amazon for $45.95 (available in three colors).
Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.
12. A nonstick microwave pasta cooker perfect for the not-top-chefs who say they don't know how to boil water. Well, that may be true, but now they can still enjoy some delicious pasta... that they made for themselves.
Promising review: "I love pasta, but I hate *making* pasta. Too many pots, pans, strainer, cleanup, etc. Forget it. And after a long day at work when I am craving pasta, all I want to do is eat right away. This pasta cooker cooked pasta better than I have ever cooked pasta in my life. I am Italian, so as you can imagine I have eaten (and made myself) a LOT of pasta. This product is a game changer. It was extremely easy to use, cooked quickly, and it came out PERFECTLY. Not over cooked, a little al dente, but not firm. Perfection. Now I have no excuse not to cook pasta for myself (and my husband) practically every day. BUY THIS. It will change your life." —Hope Lanza
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.
13. A six-outlet wall charger to give to any dad who loves gadgets but is running out of places to charge them. Complete with two USB ports and a nightlight, this nifty charger is a gadget in itself — practically a guarantee that they'll love it.
Promising review: "Love this. I have many items to plug in now that I have to office at home. There’s plenty of room to plug in two laptops, a computer, a monitor and my Alexa safely. It’s a little bulkier than I was expecting but that is due to the room your items will need." —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $17.97.
Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.
14. A Dash rapid cooker for the dads who love their protein. This kitchen essential can make eggs pretty much any way they like them — hard boiled, poached, scrambled, or as omelets — and all at the push of a button.
Promising review: "So neat and fun to use! I used it the next morning after the delivery, and I cook my eggs only in the Dash Go. It cooks every egg so perfectly, and they come out so fluffy every time. It cooks a variety of egg dishes, and you can cook vegetables, and some meat like fish. Very wonderful kitchen gadget, and I highly recommend you make a dash to buy the Dash Go Rapid Egg Cooker if you love eggs! You will not be disappointed!" —Tonya
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in eight colors).
Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.
15. A versatile pair of Dr. Martens leather oxfords so great for the rad dads who like to put their best foot forward. This style is cool and classic, just like your pops.
FYI, many reviewers say these run a bit large, so consider sizing down.
Promising review: "First time wearing Dr. Martens and I’m blown away. These are awesome, go with a lot of stuff. Once you break them in, they’re more comfortable!" —Zakary T.
Get it from Dr. Martens for $140 (available in men's sizes 6–16 and seven colors).
Shipping info: Ground Shipping (5–7 business days) is free for orders $50+. Next-Day (1–2 business days), 2-Day, and 3-Day shipping options are also available for an additional cost.
16. A "Bacon Bin," because bacon grease is as good as gold. Don't ever pour down the drain (it'll clog the pipes!) — instead, store it in this little container and use it for future recipes. Psst... bacon fat and Brussels sprouts are a winning combo.
They can store it on the counter or in the fridge, or even freeze it to easily pop out the solidified grease. PS: It's made by small biz Talisman Designs, which creates helpful products to make cooking at home a little easier.
Promising review: "This thing is awesome. Big enough to hold plenty of grease without taking up a ton of space. I keep mine in the butter compartment of my fridge next to the butter. I poured the grease right from the pan, still very hot, right into it and popped the lid on and put it in the fridge. Next time I needed some grease I scooped some out with a spoon, no muss no fuss. Much better than the glass jar I was using. My only warning is if you get it out when people are visiting, keep an eye on it. It's so cute and so good at its job everyone will want one. This is an awesome gift idea. The little box it comes in is so cute with its little piggy face sticking out. Anyone who cooks with grease will love this." —John Dollard
Get it from Talisman Designs on Amazon for $15.99.
Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.
17. A pair of Gripper Slippers from Bombas, which will keep their feet warm and toasty and, because of the grippers, firmly on the ground.
18. A pack of deodorizing balls, a very nice way to gently address a legitimate problem. Papas will love this easy and practical solution to smelly shoes.
Promising review: "I bought these to go in my husband's gym bag and his sneakers. They are amazing! You simply twist them and toss them wherever needs refreshing. My nephew left wet clothes in his book bag and the mildew smell was terrible! These worked wonders on that bag and eventually it smelled new again! These keep sneakers smelling fresh and prevent that heavy odor from forming." —Erin Hayes

Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.
19. A spring-loaded coin organizer because dads love to still carry coins... they just don't have anywhere good to put them. You might not convince them that mobile pay is the way of the future, but you can make a great case for this cool coin organizer that fits in their cup holder.
It easily slips into the cup holder or console.
Promising review: "I cannot say how much to this day I absolutely love this product. As far as products I would never give up in my life, this is 100% one of them. I couldn't live without this anymore and have recommended it to so many people. It eliminates loose change in your car, helps you start to save your change a little better, helps with drive-thrus or places you could use exact change to save a buck (or $20), and has helped me in so many more situations. Over two years, four different cars, and more than a thousand dollars through it, it still functions exactly like day #1. The springs still work great despite how much change has been through it, being carried and dropped, moving between houses and dorms, and just general abuse like any object in your car. It's a great gift or something to help someone with a messy car. Absolutely recommend!" —NickDeMartin
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.
20. A supremely comfy PJs set for the real ones who appreciate the finer things... or are just ready to move on from the tattered old T-shirts and boxers combo.
Promising review: "I bought these for my husband after he loved how I felt in my own Eberjey PJs. He loves them!! They are so soft and drape really nicely. They also wash great and don’t shrink or pill. I have a feeling this won’t be the last pair I buy for him! They do run a bit big, however, so I recommend sizing down." —Kathy M.
Get it from Eberjey for $158 (available in men's sizes XS–XL and seven colors).
Shipping info: Standard Shipping (4–8 business days) is $7.00 or free on orders of $100+. Express Shipping (2–3 business days) and Overnight Shipping (one business day) are also available for an additional cost.
21. A heated Gillette razor starter kit and subscription, which will make shaving each morning feel like a luxurious barbershop experience.
What they'll get: The starter kit comes with two blades and a charging station, and every one, three, or six months they'll receive a 4-count refill blade pack.
Promising review: "Absolutely amazing! The heat added a dramatic level of comfort while shaving. Each stroke felt wonderful. With my first shave, I expected to feel the warmth but I doubted it would provide such a dramatic level of comfort. What I didn’t expect was how much sharper this cartridge was. The feedback from each stroke was very different from the feedback on the Gillette Pro Glide Cartridge. I very much like the Pro Glide, but this cartridge was very smooth with hardly any tug on the hairs. With my coarse beard this razor gave me a shave as close and comfortable as a good straight razor shave!" —Robert
Get the starter kit from Gillette for $115 (originally $150), plus $25 for each refill pack delivery. You can choose how often you'd like them to receive refills (every one, three, or six months), and you can cancel the subscription at any time.
22. A PureWine gift certificate that Dad can use to buy The Phoenix or The Wand. Both devices help remove histamines and sulfites and could cut down the chance of the dreaded post-wine headache. Cheers to that!
PureWine Gift Cards are available in denominations of $25, $50, and $100.
23. A smartphone lens kit for the budding photographer... or the dad who just likes to take a lot of pictures and send them to the family group chat. Help them level up with this set of lenses (and get your reaction GIFs ready).
This comes with a fisheye, macro, and wide angle lenses, plus a microfiber cloth for wiping away dust and fingerprint smudges!
Promising review: "Love using these clip-on lenses. The pictures I have been able to take using them look great. The macro lens is a lot of fun to play around with. I am including some photos I took using these lenses." —T. Rossi
Get them from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four colors).

24. A two-pack of Dan-O's savory seasoning that's a delicious shortcut to super flavorful food. Spice up everything from steaks and poultry to seafood and vegetables. Hmm... how do you think it would taste on popcorn?
Dan-O's is a small biz that was founded by — yes — Dan O. (Oliver), who came up with a spice blend one day and realized it actually tasted really good! People who tried the seasoning told him he should sell it, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Promising review: "Life changing. The best seasoning I’ve ever used. Definitely leveled up my cooking with this! Will order again — but the biggest size this time!" —Josie
Get a pack containing the original and spicy seasonings from Dan-O's on Amazon for $13.
Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.
25. A pair of Drop Stop car gap fillers, for the butterfingered Baba (or just a big Shark Tank fan!). If they're always losing their phones or dropping their keys, this is the life-changing gift you've been looking for.
This gap filler is made from a neoprene material that provides the universal perfect fit for any car.
Promising review: "I have to admit, my expectations weren't very high. I thought it was more of a joke when my husband got this for me for Christmas. Little did I realize that it would become one of my favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car and it's soft, acting just like an extension of my seat. There really isn't another product that compares to this." —Tessa Forbes

26. A set of wireless Bluetooth earbuds, which dad can wear all day as they listen to their favorite podcasts and audiobooks. When we say all day we mean it — these are waterproof, so they can even wear them in the shower!
These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for 4+ hours with each full charge), and have a built-in mic so they can chat on the phone.
Promising review: "The sound is great. Talking on the phone with a mask on is no problem — the person receiving my call could hear me perfectly. They stay in just fine while driving or working. This company has great customer service." —twomoms

27. A toothpaste holder that'll make every penny-saving pops happy because it also helps squeeze out every last bit. It leaves nothing to waste!
Promising review: "This device is ingenious! Wished I’d known this product exist sooner. I use Arm & Hammer toothpaste which still comes in the standard small cap so having it prompt up behind the bathroom cabinet was impossible. Now, problem solved. It’s a small invention that made a positive impact. I thank the person who thought of it." —Jl33NYC

28. A set of two ceramic mugs with built-in cork coaster bottoms so they won't have to always remind everyone to use a coaster. Plus, there's one for you, too!
Promising review: "These mugs are perfect for me. I like that you don’t have to use a coaster and that they keep my coffee warm to the last drop. They fit nicely in my hand. I have arthritis in my hands so I need a substantial coffee mug. They are very pretty, too." —Busy Bee

29. A warm, puffy blanket, for the adventurous dads who believe in always being prepared. Whether they're at the beach, or in the mountains, this water-repellant blanket will come in handy. The best part? It folds up into a compact carrying pouch, so it won't take up too much of that precious trunk space.
Based in Portland, Oregon, Rumpl is a small biz that makes a variety of cozy blankets, from the aforementioned puffy blanket to fleece throws.
Promising review: "Best everywhere blanket. Super lightweight but deliciously warm. I normally require an electric heated blanket in air conditioned environments but with this blanket I can ditch the cord! Colors are as bright as in the pictures. Super soft and dog hair and water resistant. The perfect blanket for our RV camping adventures." —D.C. Rivera
Get it from Rumpl on Amazon for $93.75 (available in 36 designs).

Promising review: "This is the easiest smartplug ever! You just plug it in and open the Alexa app. That’s it! It’s ready to use! Unlike other smart plugs that are sitting in my drawer because it was impossible to connect them to my Wi-Fi, it worked immediately. Simple and worth the purchase. One more thing Alexa can now do for me." —Betty J
