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.
So please enjoy our gift ideas, but understand that, for many of these items, you'll have to simply let your loved one know that their gift may be arriving *later*.
1. A salt shooter so your dad can enjoy his summer by spending his free time hunting the world's most dangerous game...the pesky housefly.
Promising review: "This salt gun is SO MUCH FUN! I hate flies so this is the perfect solution. It's like a nerf gun but shoots salt instead. It's not too heavy to hold. However the pump is tough to pull back, which is perfect for an adult but difficult for kids. If you shoot yourself in the hands or arm, it stings a tiny bit but that's it. I Highly recommend it! Happy Hunting!" —Q. Nguyen

2. A 10-motor massage mat with two heating pads and vibration settings, so your tired pa can turn his favorite seat into the massage chair his aching back wants, and needs.
Promising review: "I've had several massage mats and this one is great. It has a nice comfortable soft foam pillow feel so you don't feel like you're sitting on the massage motors. And it's so quiet, you hardly hear it yet the massagers are quite powerful. I highly recommend this one." —TJ Ferrara

3. A Shark EZ Robot Vacuum designed for vacuuming over all sorts of floors *and* made to self-empty. Your dad gives himself enough chores in a day...let the robot take care of this one for him.
Promising review: "I have 4 dogs and about 1,500-square-foot home. The Shark (nicknamed Rosie the Robot) works amazingly well. I have not even loaded the app, just turn it on every morning and let it go. My floors are clean even with several grandchildren and all the dogs rampaging through my home!" —Val R

4. An LED flat plate is gonna help your bookworm of a father read far into the night without disturbing the morning person snoozin' beside him.
Promising review: "LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It’s not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don’t have to move it up and down while reading." —Flora

5. A pasta maker that'll be a hit with fathers who are true home chefs. This nifty kitchen gadget will let your dad master everything from homemade ravioli to fettuccine. Good job using your ~noodle~ and getting him something unique this year!
Promising review: "I purchased this as a gift for a friend who's had a lifelong dream of making homemade pasta. It's a high-quality machine. I was immediately accused of spending 'too much money' on the gift. Functionally, it's very intuitive and performs smoothly right out of the box. We made fettuccini and the dough came out evenly rolled, there were no kinks in the process whatsoever, and the results were delicious (especially for a first attempt)." —Zora F.

6. A 29-piece grooming kit — this is gonna become a beloved addition to your dad's impressive (or rather, obsessive) collection of grooming products. It's gotta be tough work looking that sharp 24/7!
This kit includes one electric trimmer, 21 attachment heads, two brushes, one comb, one pair of scissors, one scissor case, one carrying case, and one charging cord.
Promising review: "Purchased as a gift but the feedback from the person I purchased this for couldn't be happier! He LOVES it very much and was very well worth every cent! I would recommend anyone looking for a reliable easy to use multiuse trimmer to invest in this and save all that $$$ at the barbershop!" —Kristine

7. A standing weeder with three steel claws that grip weeds and roots so your gardening pops is able to pull them out while standing. No more bending down all day while pulling out weeds! His backyard will have never looked better (and his back will have never FELT better)!
This is made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel. The simple lever system is what makes pulling weeds with this so easy!
Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG

8. A ThermPro meat thermometer so you can *all* be confident that the meat your dad cooks is actually, you know, cooked.
You can leave the probe in your meat while it's cooking, walk away (up to 650 feet!), and know you'll still be notified when it's ready.
Promising review: "I love to use this while cooking meat in the smoker. It has four probes so I use one to monitor the ambient temperature and the other three for various meats I am smoking. The wireless connectivity to an app on my phone is great since smoking meat can take a long time; it allows me to keep an eye on how the cooking is going from inside the house. This was truly one of the best purchases I have made. I even bought one for my father-in-law." —Deoji
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Father's Day (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available with two or four probes).
9. A towel warmer — this is gonna improve the look of your dad's bathroom *and* provide him with that fresh-outta-the-dryer feel every time he gets out of the shower.
It can fit up to two towels and has a 15-minute adjustable timer.
Promising review: "After reading lots of reviews on several different towel warmers, I bought this product for my mom for Christmas. I tested it out before giving it to her. It was works great! The timer looks so sleek and fancy. Even at only 15 minutes, you get a nice warm towel! 10/10 would recommend! Already thinking of buying one for myself!" —Kaylee Sierra

10. An at-home slushy-making cup – tell your dad to freeze the cup for four hours, pour in any ol' cold drink (sparkling water, juice, beer, smoothies — you name it), and crush the sides of the silicone cup until that satisfying slush appears!
Promising review: "I’m an absolute sucker for slushies. Why? Heck if I know. I saw this cup on TikTok, and bought it though I was very skeptical. However, it works!! I’ve made at least a dozen already, if not more." —C. Warrick
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Father's Day (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

11. A clip-on polarized sun visor is gonna be loved by fathers who are always squinting into the sun on their work commute. Clip the extender onto their existing sun visor and they're gonna get polarized glare-reduction all the live-long day.
Glare Guard is a small business based in Easton, Pennsylvania creating polarized visors for glare-free driving.
Promising review: "This extender is great; I wish I had purchased this years ago. My daily commute to work is due east and the sun is directly in my line of sight. My commute home is just the opposite, due west and the sun is blinding. This extender is not only a great buy, but it also increases the safety of daily driving." —Dyann Curtis

12. A pack of super-strong magnets that'll attach to the top of the fridge to ensure your dad's favorite drink is always freshly stocked and chilled to perfection (without taking up space for his actual groceries).
Promising review: "Of all the things I have bought that I didn't need, this is one of my favorites. Beer is hard to get out of the cardboard carrier in the top of my fridge. While just taking them out and sitting them on the shelf would have solved this problem as well, this solution is more fun. They float and technically it does make a tiny bit of extra space under the beer for small things like cheese or something." —AbbyValentine

Get a set of two strips (six magnets) from Amazon for $29.99.
13. A golf club cleaning squeeze bottle complete with a nylon brush that'll keep your father's clubs, golf balls, and shoes fresher than his competition by a long shot.
Promising review: "I've been using mine for over a year now, and it is seriously the best at what it does. Simple design, but it does a simple (but vital) task. I try to top it off before every round but often forget. That's fine because it seems to last three or four rounds, no problem. Even if you do run out of water, it still works as a simple brush until you can make it to a conveniently located water cooler or fountain on the golf course." —Ben M.

14. A fishing rod rack for turning the back of the garage door into a storage space so your pa can be certain his fishing rods are cared for with the utmost fashion.
Promising review: "These racks are AWESOME! I heard about them from an article in our local newspaper. So glad we purchased them. They are really neat riding up and down with the garage door. Keeps the rods and reels safe and are most certainly out of the way! We like them so much we're going to purchase a couple more!" —Doolen102

15. A cooling weighted blanket and calming knot pillow — both boast a unique knitted pattern that creates the perfect balance of breathability and heavy comfort. These are gorgeous *and* they're gonna help your dad snooze after a long day of "fixing" things around the house.
16. An Apple AirTag tracker tile for making sure your father never misplaces his wallet, keys, or cat again. Attach this to the thing your dad loses the most (maybe the remote?) and he can track its location in the encrypted Find My app, which will make the attached AirTag beep until it's found.
Promising review: "We have had our vehicles stolen a couple of times from our apartment building. Woke up one day to go to work, and the truck and trailer were gone. Called the cops who couldn’t do much at the time. We hopped in our family vehicle and followed where the AirTag said it was located. After about an hour, we tracked down and recovered all our stuff. We would have never found anything without these." —Kimberly Bishop

17. A Corico dish designed specifically for hiding olive and cherry pits. If your dad is the king of hosting, help make his famous cheese boards even more glorious! Thanks to this dish, there won't be any leftover bits to make it look like the ~pits~.
I have this dish! My husband and I love hosting dinner parties and particularly like having a cheese plate out. This has been such a lovely solution for hiding olive pits! It keeps the board looking nice and saves folks from fumbling around with pits on their plates. I love it!

18. A ball cap cage sure to make washing them (while keeping their shape!) easy as ever. There's no striking out with this system. Seriously.
This is also a really useful tool if you're planning to pack hats on vacation!
Promising review: "This arrived on time and undamaged. It looks just like the photo and works as described. It fits well in the dishwasher and is unaffected by the heat. I have tried it on several hats already and I am very satisfied with the results. It's simple and works well. The dirt and sweat smells are gone. I purchased it through Amazon Prime at a great price and would recommend it to anyone." —AT-AT RIG

19. A much-needed peanut butter knife so your dad can guarantee not a *drop* of his precious peanut putty goes to waste.
Promising reviews: "I love this knife. You couldn't design a better knife for peanut butter if you tried. I bought a less expensive one, but returned it because the design was poor. There's no substitution for this quality product. Spend a couple of dollars more, and get the best." —Beck

20. A pair of gardening gloves with claws that'll be a hit with your pa if he gets jealous of his dog's ability to dig while working in the garden. Reviewers rave about how much easier this makes weeding, planting, and even raking leaves!
Promising review: "I laughed when I first saw the picture of this item. I thought, well if they don’t work, I’ll use them for a costume. But they are amazing at pulling weeds. I use mine for those pesky weeds in the rocks. One pull and you get root and all." —cynthia Williams

21. A heated eye massager so your dad's overstrained eyes get a moment's rest. If he suffers from migraines, this mighty machine might make a big difference! Plus, he can easily stream his favorite tunes through the Bluetooth speaker. Sweet.
Promising review: "My husband and I absolutely LOVE this gadget! Perfect to relax and decompress after a long day or when extra stressed. We haven't used it long enough to see changes in sleep or dark circles yet (which would be an added bonus), however even without those results this is an amazing eye rub with just the right amount of pressure that gives you instant relief for sore tired eyes. Easy to use and adjust to different head sizes." —Kimberly A.

22. A Waterpik because despite your good influence, your dad still treats dentil floss with disdain. This Waterpik is fun *and* functional. Get ready to hear your dad brag all about his *great* gums after you gift him this.
Promising review: "Love it. I have a friend who recommended it to me. You think your teeth are clean and then after using this you realize you have enough extra food between your teeth and in your gum line to feed a small child a meal. Its gross for sure but much better out than in. I would say it is not portable at all if you are thinking you need something to travel with. I chose this type because I thought that it would be more powerful than a hand held portable one. I do find it powerful and effective at cleaning my pearly whites." —Amazon Customer

23. An outdoor pizza oven that'll give him another great excuse to cook outdoors on breezy summer nights. And, ahem, feed *you* delicious homemade pizza. Thanks, Dad.
Promising review: "I love my little Roccbox perhaps more than I love my children. It is the perfect size for making a delicious personal pizza, it heats up quickly and it delivers an amazing crust (with the right dough recipe). This is what I have been looking for all my life. I have made about 100 pizzas so far and it has held up well. It is going to get soot on the front and look a bit dirty. You can either clean it up or just let it be. Regardless it will still make great pizza. Oh, and it is just the right size to throw in the car to take on a road trip." —K. Brady

24. A digital photo frame — get your dad a frame, connect him to the app, and you and your family can all share photos no matter how far apart you all live nowadays.
Promising review: "I bought three as gifts for our mothers. Great way to stay in touch and give weekly updated pictures of the great-grandkids. The app is easy to use and can upload pics to multiple frames at the same time. Multiple people can be friends with the frame to have multiple family members uploading pics. You can add comments for the pics that the frame displays. The frame even shows who uploaded the pic. Each frame can hold a TON of pictures, 1,000 so far and still plenty of memory available. Easy setup and once set up, the frame is user friendly (even for the older generation)." —Dawn t

25. A beginner's telescope for fathers who are absolutely dazzled by the night sky. Here's to finding ways we can continue getting a liiittle bit closer!
Promising review: "This telescope was easy to put together and it is by far the best one I’ve purchased. It’s super clear and my daughter uses it almost every night here in California. We are able to look at the moon and quite a few stars, she’s totally stoked with it. We take it camping and it’s a great size to carry around anywhere." —Balvina Ventura

This is designed to reach 60% deeper into muscles than other massagers and at 40 times a second.
Promising review: "This was purchased as a gift for my son. It is a great product. It helps to remove stress knots from the back. It's fabulous." —GQuincy
