Best Father’s Day Gifts 2022!

Shopping for dads can be a challenge.  Our starting point was the hard-to-buy-for men in our own life. Our goal was simple: find unique gifts for your dad that he probably wouldn’t buy for himself, but that have an excellent chance he’ll request again next year.

Here is our gift guide to the best father’s day gift ideas that are ideal for your dad, father-in-law, husband, brother, and all the men you love. Prices range from under $15 to $300+. Let’s get shopping!

Do you remember being a kid, and spending a whole summer day swimming at the community pool. At about 5 o’clock, your eyes red with chlorine, you nearly scalded your feet as you ran across a hot parking lot to tumble into the backseat of the family car. If you were really lucky, on the ride home you stopped for drive-through burgers. As the smell of your bag of warm burgers and tangy ketchup filled the car, you knew then life could not get better than a day like this.

Shake Shake knows the joy of those summer afternoons. Even their name harkens back to a simpler time. They have distinguished themselves with a signature burger blend of 100% Angus beef, hormone and antibiotic-free devised by Pat LaFrieda. And since Father’s Day falls in the early days of summer, maybe a burger kit for 8 from Shake Shack is the perfect gift. The kit supplies everything but the lettuce and tomato.

Gifts for the Steak-Loving Dad

We go into the finer details about beef grades and aging on our steaks gift page, but for now we’ll list the online merchants whose quality of steaks we trust:

Enter the Kettle Pizza stainless steel inserts, which are beautifully designed, simple to use, and so brilliant. They will turn your outdoor charcoal or gas grill into a pizza oven capable of reaching 750 degrees. Magnifico!

A Gift for Dads Who Love Quality Tools

If, like everyone else, your dad is spending more time in the kitchen, he has grown to appreciate the utility of a well-made, sharp knife. If he wonders what the pros are using, we found it.

For more than a decade the Victorinox Swiss Army Fibrox Pro 8” Chef’s Knife has been America’s Text Kitchen’s chef’s top choice for all the slicing, dicing, mincing, and carving their professional work demands.

A Gift for Dads Who Love Deli-Style Meats

A Gift for Dads Who Are Always Prepared

Why are they so popular? Beyond the high quality construction, and food-safe interiors, we think it’s the modern, streamlined design, and the promise of super durability. The Yeti line includes hard coolers, soft coolers, and drinkware that will keep your drinks as cold (or hot) as science allows. With 18/8 stainless steel construction, double-wall vacuum insulation, No Sweat™ Design and dishwasher safe (which is really important). If you’re looking for a gift that will still be used and appreciated years from now, a Yeti product may be the way to go. The stainless steel vaccuum insulated Drinkware starts at $24. Hard and soft-sided coolers come in some really nice colors but are a bit of an investment.

Gifts For Dads Who Like Gadgets

Apple Series 7 Watch

“I don’t need any gadgets!” my husband told our son as he was fishing around for Father’s Day gift-giving ideas. But when my obstinate husband was told by his doctor to watch his blood pressure, he realized our son was right. Maybe a watch that did practically everything he needed to stay connected with work, and GPS, and served as a fitness tracker in and out of the water could be a good idea. The Apple Series 7 watch is the ticket.
