Father's Day is almost here, but there's still time to find a gift that feels thoughtful rather than thrown together at the last minute. Whether you're shopping for a dad who never misses a Grand Slam, is already counting down to the FIFA World Cup, takes pride in his hair and grooming routine, could use an upgrade to his earbuds, a new pair of walking shoes, or a signature scent, a great gift doesn't have to be complicated.
To help narrow down the search, we've rounded up a mix of practical finds and memorable experiences that are excellent gifts for every type of dad.
JBL Endurance Peak 4
Some dads collect ties. Others collect miles. If your father is the type who's up before sunrise for a run or never misses a workout, these JBL earbuds are a gift he'll actually use. Whether he's jamming to Bad Bunny on his morning walk, catching up on the SmartLess podcast at the gym, or tuning out distractions during a training session, adaptive noise canceling helps him stay focused. The secure TwistLock fit stays comfortably in place, while the water, and dust-proof design is built to handle sweat, rain, and whatever else the day brings.
You can’t go wrong with a polo shirt
You can never go wrong with a great polo. Made in Peru from 100% Pima cotton, this George Kent Monochromatic Black Polo feels as good as it looks. Mother-of-pearl buttons and the brand's adorable embroidered Boston Terrier logo set it apart, while the classic black color makes it an easy choice for everything from weekend outings to casual dinners. Chances are, it'll earn a permanent spot in Dad's rotation.
The Perfect Book for the Dad Who Never Misses a Grand Slam
If your dad never misses a Grand Slam, this might just be his favorite Father's Day gift. Created in collaboration with Roger Federer and his wife, Mirka, this coffee table book, titled FEDERER (Classic) features rare photographs, personal memorabilia, and stories from the tennis icon's remarkable career. Written by veteran sports journalist Doris Henkel, who followed Federer's career for decades and attended 30 of his 31 Grand Slam finals, the book offers a uniquely intimate look at one of the greatest athletes of all time. Beautifully designed and filled with memorable moments on and off the court, it's the kind of book he'll proudly display on his coffee table long after Father's Day. Not a tennis fan? Assouline's new Football Roots: The Spirit of the Game is another standout option for soccer lovers.
For the Dad Who Keeps Stealing Mom's Shampoo
If Dad has a habit of reaching for Mom's favorite shampoo every morning, consider this his gentle nudge to get his own. The I.C.O.N. Oily Hair Pack includes a detoxifying shampoo, conditioner, and treatment that help tackle oily hair, buildup, and a flaky scalp, leaving hair feeling clean and refreshed.
Founded in Spain, just like ¡HOLA!', and now also based in Los Angeles, I.C.O.N. has become a salon staple in Madrid and all over the world. Best of all, you can order the set directly from I.C.O.N.'s website or through Amazon. A great and easy last-minute Father's Day gift. And who knows? Mom might even get a little jealous when Dad starts claiming the best hair in the house.
YSL MYSLF Le Parfum
If your dad appreciates a great fragrance, this YSL MYSLF Le Parfum is a great gift not only to impress him but also to elevate his daily routine. The scent has spicy black pepper notes, rich orange blossom, warm woods, and smooth vanilla bourbon, creating a fragrance that feels sophisticated without being overpowering. Housed in a sleek matte-black bottle, it's the kind of scent he'll reach for whether he's heading to the office, date night, or a special occasion. Plus, it’s available at YSL Beauty, Sephora, and Macy's, with prices starting at $39 for the travel-size 10 mL and ranging up to $232 for the 150 mL bottle, so you can find an option that fits your budget.
Airbnb FIFA World Cup 26 Experiences
For the dad whose love of soccer goes far beyond the final score, consider giving him an experience instead of another gadget. Airbnb is making it easy to plan a trip around the World Cup, with unique local experiences in host cities like Miami, Los Angeles, New York, Mexico City, and Toronto.
You can book him a one-of-a-kind activity, from a matchday cruise in Miami with food, drinks, other fans to hang with and even a swim stop, to a Mexico City experience that pairs tournament match excitement with an experience of live lucha libre and exclusive access to meet the wrestlers afterwards. The best part? It's not too late to gift him a soccer-filled adventure he'll never forget
A No7 Energizing Face Scrub
Every dad could use a little pampering, even if he'd never admit it. This No 7 energizing face scrub helps exfoliate and refresh tired skin, leaving his face feeling cleaner and more refreshed. Available on Amazon, it's also a convenient last-minute gift for anyone still scrambling to check Father's Day shopping off their list. After all, even dads could use a little self-care
A Warm and Well-Crafted Blanket
Some gifts feel extra special because of the story behind them. Handwoven in Ecuador by skilled artisans, this alpaca throw by Purple Nest is crafted using traditional techniques and finished by hand, right down to the hand-sewn edges. Soft, cozy, and beautiful enough to leave on display, it's the kind of gift Dad will reach for every time he settles in to watch his favorite series, catch a game, or unwind after a long day.
KORRES Men's Starter Kit
If Dad's skincare routine consists of whatever soap happens to be in the shower, consider this a thoughtful upgrade. That's what makes this KORRES Starter Kit such a great gift. The three-step kit includes a cleanser for face and beard, a soothing aftershave balm, and a moisturiser to hydrate and help soften the appearance of fine lines. It's simple, practical, and easy to use, which means there's a much better chance he'll actually stick with it.
A taste of Tuscany for the wine lover
If a trip to Tuscany isn't in the cards this Father's Day, a bottle from Il Borro is the next best thing. Produced on the Ferragamo family's certified organic estate in the heart of Tuscany, these wines bring a little Italian charm to any celebration. If your dad prefers reds, Pian di Nova combines Syrah and Sangiovese for a smooth, fruit-forward wine great for barbecue dinners.
And if you want to give him a bottle to toast together, the Bolle di Borro is perfect: a sparkling wine made from 100% Sangiovese grapes that delivers elegant bubbles and notes of white flowers, green apple, and brioche. Whichever bottle you choose, it's a thoughtful way to raise a glass to Dad while embracing the Italian tradition of slowing down and spending time together.
For the Dad Who Loves His Walks
You know the dad. The one who's up before everyone else on a Saturday morning, back from a walk before the coffee is ready. The ALLSWIFIT Men's Slip-On Walking Shoes fit right into that routine. With a hands-free slip-on style, they're easy to throw on for morning walks, quick errands, travel days, or those moments when he's rushing out the door. Comfortable, lightweight, and cushioned enough for long days on his feet, they're the kind of sneakers he'll end up reaching for again and again.
And because they're available on Amazon, they're also a rescue for those of us who waited until the last minute to shop for Father's Day. And because they're available on Amazon, they're also a rescue for those of us who waited until the last minute.
