The 43 Best Gifts for Dads

Whether you’re celebrating your dad, your granddad, or another important father figure in your life, it can be hard to find just the right gift. (And it doesn’t help matters that every time you press for clues, he insists he doesn’t need anything.) We’ve taken the guesswork out of the process. Below, we’ve gathered our favorite gifts to impress or delight any dad on your list—with nary a striped tie in sight. This list includes a wide range of great gift options, so you’re sure to find something to delight your favorite dad on a birthday, a holiday, or any other day you want to show your appreciation.

For deep-powder, mountain-biking, and other radical dads, the GoPro Hero10 Black can catch all their outdoor action. And if they have young kids, they can also document their athletic and personal growth—just like snowboarding dad Robert Garlow of popular Instagram account Chasing Sage. Our budget pick for best action-friendly camera, this well-stabilized GoPro produces high-resolution images and stellar videos (up to 60 frames per second). Plus, it’s small enough to fit in a (well-zippered) pocket. Although this GoPro’s footage isn’t as smooth and lifelike as that of our top pick, due to its smaller image sensor, it offers the best balance of cost and capability.
