Best Gifts for Dad: 53 Infallible Gift Ideas for Dads (and Dad-Types)

So you need to get some great gifts for dad—or someone dad-like—and you have no idea what to get. Calling mom might sound like the right move, but instead you're here at GQ, and we have to say: Good thinking. GQ does stand for Gentlemen's Quarterly after all, and your dad has always been exactly that, a gentleman. There are a lot of crappy gifts out there (do you really need to buy another tacky novelty tie?) but lucky for you, we're experts at gift giving, and that includes gifts for dad.

From the shirt of the summer to gobs of grooming gear, from upstanding dad shoes to the best portable gadgets we've ever tested, we have a lot of ground covered. And if you need more, know this: We've got no shortage of dad-adjacent suggestions you can pull from. A fresh pair of goes-with-everything loafers, the best fanny packs we could find, affordable watches (and extremely affordable watches), the best beard trimmers, and several father-worthy picks from Amazon, for you Prime-lifers. Just to name a few. Luckily for you, many of these gifts are also available from reliably quick-shipping retailers that will enable a certain degree of procrastination if you’re hunting for last-minute Father’s Day gifts. So go forth, and make dad proud.
