Hi shoppers! At this point, it's likely that some gifts may not arrive in time for 6/18: it all depends on the retailer, the item, where you live, and how much $$$ you're willing to spend on expedited shipping.
Be sure to check out Wayfair's full shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.
1. A bamboo charging station that’ll keep their phone juiced up and their surfaces tidy. With slots for four devices, two hidden storage compartments, and even space for pens, notepads, and other small items, this handy little organizer will thrill any technophile father figure.
2. A sleek bar cart perfect for the dad who dabbles in mixology — or who just needs a place to stash their extensive collection of rare tipples. (All that Pappy Van Winkle's gotta go somewhere...) The two tiers provide plenty of storage, while the smooth casters at the ends of the hairpin legs make it a cinch to move around when needed — say, during those spectacular cocktail parties they've been known to throw from time to time.
3. A jigsaw puzzle table, so your favorite parental puzzle fiend can finally have a space to dedicate to their favorite hobby — instead of, y’know, always taking over the kitchen table every time they crack open a new, 1,000-piece project. The six sliding drawers on this wooden table offer tons of space to lay out all the pieces, keeping the main surface clear for assembly — and the legs even fold down, so the table can easily slide out of sight between puzzle sessions.
4. A freestanding electric towel warmer, because they deserve to experience the joys of a warm towel after every shower. All they’ll have to do is pop in a towel before they step into the shower or bath, turn the warmer on, and set the timer. When they pull out their towel, it’ll be toasty warm and waiting to envelope them in comfort. Aaaah. Such relaxation!
5. A hilarious eyeglasses holder that’ll make sure they never, ever lose track of their specs again. The nose knows, and this nose will always know where those readers ended up.
6. A splurge-worthy record storage cabinet for the dad figure with the enviable vinyl collection. (They’re worth it, right?) This compact, vintage-chic cabinet packs tons of storage space inside for records of all varieties; meanwhile, their turntable will look delightful displayed on top. Let the group listening sessions commence!
7. A ridiculously cool reading floor lamp with all sorts of pulleys and wheels, because any bookworm parent will always appreciate having enough light to illuminate their TBR pile. The pulley system actually works too; it’s not just for show — it raises and lowers the conical shade. How neat is that?
8. A gorgeous gooseneck electric kettle that’s as practical as it is stunning — key features the parental coffee connoisseur is sure to appreciate. From the coffee experts at Bodum, this beautiful kettle heats up quickly and features a spout ideal for brewing perfect cups of pour-over java.
9. A meranti wood potting bench, because any father figure who has a green thumb will never not need more gardening gear. (They know those basil plants and monsters aren’t going to repot themselves!) This space-efficient, multi-tier pick boasts tons of functionality — but it’s also ~aesthetic~, making it a perfect plant stand or display piece, too. Talk about the best of all possible worlds!
10. A chic fire table, so they can enjoy their outdoor spaces at any time of day or night — or year! This visually-pleasing option is made of weather-resistant steel; what’s more, it’s fueled not by wood or coal, but by a hidden propane tank. They’ll definitely appreciate being able to adjust the flame without having to worry about how good their campfire-starting skills are.
11. A rechargeable electric wine bottle opener that’ll make sure the dedicated wine dad knows they’re worth raising a toast to. With this pick on hand, they won’t need to wrestle with stubborn corks and difficult corkscrews in order to enjoy their favorite vintages anymore; it’ll remove corks for them at the mere push of a button. They’ll definitely drink to that.
12. A camp chair that ticks every box the outdoorsy parent could want. It’s light; it’s portable; it’s cozy; it has a built-in cooler to keep their drinks and snacks cold; and it even has not one, but two cupholders — one for regular cups and cans, and one for stemmed glasses. Summer camping trips and bonfires just got way more comfortable.
13. A multi-functional pegboard set literally every kind of dad or dad figure can find a use for. Dedicated home chef? Use it to organize their kitchen gear. Into DIY? Get their tool shed into shape with it. Got a home office that needs a makeover? It’ll keep all their to-do lists and actionable items in control so they’ll be able to get to inbox zero in no time.
14. A set of two futuristic monitor stands, because if they spend a lot of time in front of computers — whether it’s for work, for movies, for gaming, for art, you name it — setting those monitors at a comfortable level will do wonders for tech-induced aches and pains. Show them support for their business or hobbies, and support their back and neck while you're at it.
15. A set of shiny new grill tools ideal for the dad-type human who is famously of the opinion that Summer Is For Grilling, All Grilling, All The Time, Turn The Stove Off, It Is GRILL O’CLOCK, PEOPLE. This set includes five sturdy, stainless steel tools — a flipper, tongs, a barbecue fork, a basting brush, and a knife — all packed within a sleek aluminum case for storage. Gorgeous. Functional. Delicious. Everybody wins.
16. A ludicrously comfortable recliner that’s also actually nice to look at, because some dads value both coziness and aesthetics, you know? Don’t be fooled by this structured piece’s upright appearance; it reclines almost aaaaaaall the way back, making it the ultimate midday nap location.
17. Or a chunky knit ottoman, if they’ve already got a favorite armchair, but could use something comfy to kick their feet up on at the end of a long day. Who doesn’t love a good footrest? (No one. That’s who.)
18. A set of measuring cups that’ll upgrade the kitchen-handy dad’s cooking and baking game in a BIG way. These melamine cups handle not just the standard sizes — 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, and one cup — but also include a 2-cup measure and a 3-cup measure as well. Not only that, but they’re so cool-looking, they even double as serving bowls. What more could an enthusiastic home chef ask for?
19. A colorful shade sail, so the papa who likes to spend all summer outside can add some sun relief to their deck, patio, or yard, even if there’s no space for a full-on umbrella. This super useful backyard accessory comes in multiple sizes and tons of colors, so no matter what kind of space they’ve got, they’ll be able to enjoy that sweet, sweet shade when the sun gets just a little too toasty.
20. And a pair of the comfiest pillows ever, because the gift of restful snoozing is just about the most useful gift there is to give. Soft like down, but with cooling properties thanks to the fact that they’re actually stuffed with gel fiber, these two pillows will have them drifting off to the Land of Nod in the utmost of comfort. Let your awesome dad dream about their awesome dadness every time they lay down. A+ gifting. Well done.
