My Top 10 Favorite Father’s Day Gifts

1. For the Dad Who’s Always On The Go: Yeti Rambler

Whether Dad drinks his coffee iced or hot, an insulated tumbler is the best way to ensure his drink stays hot or cold as long as possible. These are also great to take on vacation so he can enjoy a cold drink by the pool. Ice takes FOREVER to melt in a cup like this, so his drinks will stay fresh for as long as he’s sipping.

2. Best for Expert Cutting & Chopping: Shun Premier Starter Knife Set

He’ll love prepping meals with a nice set of knives. These super-steel Japanese knives are hand-hammered to reduce drag and make cutting easier, making them the perfect Father’s Day cooking gift! The set comes with a paring knife, a utility knife, and a chef’s knife. It’s a splurge that the foodie dad in your life deserves.

3. Best for Comfort on the Green: Cutter & Buck Golf Polo

Every guy loves a crisp polo that fits and feels great. He’ll LOVE this one because it’s stretchy, moisture-wicking, and has sun protection built into it, which means he won’t get burned while he’s golfing away. Plus, this polo has a classic stripe that works as well on the green as off. He can easily wear it manning the grill for the next backyard party.

4. For the Dad Who Loves a Good Steak: Monogram Forged Steak Brand

Dad can sear his own initials into steaks and chops using this hand-forged iron brand. It’s an authentic mini of the brands used to identify livestock and designate ranch families, which means it’s a little extra in the BEST way.

5. For the Dad Who Doesn’t Have an Air Fryer Yet: Ninja 4-Quart Air Fryer

If Dad has been talking about getting an air fryer, but just hasn’t pulled the trigger yet, get him this digital air fryer from Ninja. The 4-quart size is perfect for appetizers or main meals, but isn’t so massive that it will take up the entire counter.

6. For the Dad Who’s Always Grilling: ThermoPro Wireless Meat Thermometer

Grill masters will LOVE being able to effortlessly check meat temperatures on the grill by just checking an app! This thermometer has a 500-foot range that connects to a Bluetooth app on his phone so he can monitor cooking while he tinkers elsewhere. He’ll even receive multiple notifications when the meal is ready.

7. For the Mixologist Dad: Hella Cocktail Co. 5-Pack Bitters Bar Set

He can add robust flavor to ANY cocktail with this set of five distinctive bitters. A little goes a LONG way! Imagine being handed a craft cocktail poured over perfect nugget ice and garnished with a lemon twist on a hot summer night. Test it out on my husband’s YUMMY recipe for Lemon Drop Martinis!

8. For the Dad Who Loves Smoothies: Ninja Foodi Smoothie Maker

With this mini blender from Ninja, he’ll be able to mix up single-serve margaritas, smoothie bowls, and milkshakes with ease. There are six preset programs and it comes with a built-in tamper specifically designed for making yummy, nutrient-dense açai bowls. Plus, who says you can’t use it to make my DELICIOUS Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie too? 

9. For the Budding Wine Connoisseur: Coravin Wine Preservation System

It’s the best way to crack open that bottle of wine that he’s been holding onto, and he won’t have to worry about keeping it fresh, either. This wine-by-the-glass system is designed to “tap” a wine bottle, extract a controlled pour, and fill the space with argon gas to prevent oxidation. I LOVE that it works with corks and screw caps, too.

10. For the Fry Guy: Enterprises Stainless Steel Turkey Deep Fryer

If you’re looking for a unique gift for dads who like to cook, surprise him with a turkey fryer. This kit has everything he’ll need to cook a HUGE Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey, including a thermometer, gloves, and more. All he needs is a fuel tank and the bird, and he’ll be good to go.
