Dads don’t have to gifts Just ask the father in your life and he will tell you the same. However, as we all know, you have to give something anyway. I’m not only a dad and a gear reviewer, but also someone with a specific philosophy on what makes a good gift for middle-aged men like me.
The best gifts for a father are things that are not only relevant to his interests, but can also be described as “excessive”. Dads tend to like things that are overbuilt but useful. You can rarely go wrong by giving an expensive but excellent version of something we use anyway.
Alternatively, you can just buy something with the logo of their favorite sports team. Oh, a Cleveland Browns corn-on-the-cob set! Better buy some sweet corn and fire up the grill!
Below you will find gifts that, as a father, I have personally used and enjoyed. This is the ultimate gift guide to debut this Christmas season, which is appropriate as no one shops for dads before.
Updated December 2024: We’ve refreshed this guide with tons of new choices, including slippers, a Golden Tee arcade machine, and a leather belt.
