Father's Day is Sunday, June 15, and we're here to help you celebrate your loved ones with our gift editors' favorite dad-worthy items. The best Father's Day gifts show your appreciation and are often things your dad wouldn't think to splurge on himself. To find thoughtful presents for virtually every type of father figure, we considered a variety of interests: We're talking personalized barbecue supplies for the backyard grill master, supportive sneakers for the fitness buff and a helpful pocket-sized tech gadget for the frequent flier.
Is your dad more a creature of comfort? We made sure to include cozy essentials too, from stretchy, yet sleek sweatpants to our sleep editors' absolute favorite pillow. Plus, we have a range of under-$50 value picks that are sure to delight (no-frills breakfast sandwich maker, anyone?).

If Dad loves nothing more than a savory spread of meat and cheese, this Father's Day-themed charcuterie board will be the way to his heart. Designed, packaged and delivered directly to his front door by Boarderie, the bundle comes packed with artisan cheeses, meats, dried fruits, nuts, chocolates, olives and more. You can choose between three sizes, starting at $139 for a two to three person board. And the best part? Every order has free overnight delivery, so it's great if you're short on time.
Named our best overall subscription box for men, Bespoke Post is a favorite among Forbes Vetted editors and readers thanks to its highly customizable options. The service will be specifically geared towards his hobbies and interests, so all Dad will have to do is fill out a quiz upon joining and he'll receive a monthly assortment of goods from barware and travel essentials to clothing and accessories, based entirely on his preferences. He'll also get to preview what's in each box and because Bespoke Post pulls from up-and-coming brands, he'll likely discover some new favorite small businesses along the way.
Whether you've seen the brand on Shark Tank or it's your first time learning about it, this is one gadget that's actually useful for a dad on the go. Larq uses UV-C LED light to eliminate up to 99.9% of bio-contaminants from your water and bottle, plus the bottle's hydration tracking system will encourage him to drink more of the good stuff throughout his busy day. The double-wall vacuum insulation also keeps liquids icy cold for 24 hours and comes with a detachable handle, removable filter straw and bottle filter.
If Dad loves to share photos in the family group chat, a digital frame like this one from Aura will be a home run. Simply log onto Wi-Fi to add pictures and videos of the kiddos from holidays, vacations and birthday parties and he'll be grinning from ear to ear when he unwraps it. Aura offers frames in different colors and styles, many of which are available for speedy two-day Prime shipping.
This lightweight and responsive sneaker is bound to be a hit with any dad who loves to run, jog or power walk—or who simply spends a lot of time on his feet. It's designed with a nitrogen-injected midsole for adaptive support and a mesh upper with subtle suede overlays to help ensure both breathability and structure. Choose from 16 colorways, ranging from black and white to bright blue or orange, to suit his style.
Via Carota is one of the most beloved restaurants in New York City, and now Dad can enjoy a happy hour from the Italian hot spot without having to wait (and wait) for a table. The Via Carota Craft Cocktails Bourbon Gift Set has everything he'll need to toast fatherhood: bottles of pre-made (and seriously smooth) Old Fashioned and Manhattan cocktails, plus a pair of Italian-made lowball glasses and a gold stirrer. Cheers!
Popular among Forbes Vetted editors and readers (and the best overall fire pit, based on our rigorous testing), the Solo Stove Bonfire Fire Pit is portable so Dad (and his friends and family) can sit around the fire anytime, anywhere. It's also smokeless for cleaner, more comfortable breathing. Bonus: If you buy from Solo Stove, you can personalize it with custom text or logos.
For discerning dads who love premium sweets and competitive game play, Compartés' Luxury Grandmaster Chocolate Chess Set is the delight he never saw coming. Inside the emerald green croc-printed case, he'll find a full chess set handcrafted from incredibly creamy gourmet chocolate that's made in Los Angeles. The chocolatier also offers delicious truffles infused with 18-year Macallan single-malt scotch if Dad is more of a whiskey connoisseur.
If Dad is serious about improving his wellness, give him a smart ring that's sleek, modern and helps improve his health. The Ōura Ring is a health, sleep and activity tracker that's packed with sensors to keep him meaningfully informed. Founded on Nordic wellness principles of balance, it collects data on more than 20 biometrics—like heart rate, blood oxygen and activity—and sends insights to an app to help you create a custom sleep schedule, track stress levels and more.
Any gift labeled Hermès is going to be a hit on Father's Day. But for the dad who's been thinking about switching up his regular scent, this is a great option. The brand's first major men's fragrance to be released in 15 years, it trades the usual woody notes of a cologne for something a bit lighter. The result is a fresh scent with botanical notes of clary sage, narcissus and rosewood. He'll like it, and just as importantly, so will Mom.
If you're shopping for a foodie who looks forward to cooking new cuisines, you'll hit the gifting jackpot with Goldbelly's Chef Of The Month subscription. Dad will get a monthly curated chef kit of the most sought-after delicacies curated by pros like Michael Symon, David Chang and José Andrés. From the savory to the sweet, it'll be a fun monthly surprise—and maybe he'll even save you a bite.
If your sandwich aficionado dad isn't the family chef, this Hamilton Beach breakfast sandwich maker will be his new best friend. All he has to do is put his favorite bread in the bottom and top layers, followed by an egg and additional toppings to create a mouthwatering meal. It's ready in just five minutes with minimal cleanup needed.
From the mind of Neil Patrick Harris, Box One is the perfect gift for the father figure that loves nothing more than a good game night. Full of trivia, puzzles, secret codes and more, the brain-teasing board game is designed to play by yourself—or if Dad prefers, the whole family can get in on the fun.
The JBL waterproof Bluetooth speaker lets Dad play his tunes anywhere and everywhere from the beach to the trail to the garage where he's tinkering with his latest project. It has 10 hours of battery life for all-day listening and a clip that makes it easy to attach to a bag or stroller.
If Dad's signature cap is getting a little worse for wear, replace it with one that's trendy and built to last. This 100% cotton canvas style from Carhartt is available in over 60 colors, so there's sure to be one that suits him perfectly. Even better, it has a built-in band that's fast-drying and will wick away summer sweat.
Whether he's a super fan of the YouTube series, Hot Ones, or just likes to slather spicy goodness over his wings and tacos, invite Dad to try the Hot Ones Challenge at home with this official 10-pack set featuring the sauces from season 26 of the interview show. From mild, garlicky flavors like Señor Lechuga (1/10 spice level) to the intense heat of The Last Dab: Xperience (11/10), there's an option to delight every taste bud.
Your favorite grill master will love kicking off summer with this personalized steak brand. Exclusive to Williams Sonoma, you have the option to personalize it with single, double or triple initials. The iron brand is hand forged by a Texan cattle ranger and includes a wall mounting storage rack for display.
Sometimes it's the simple things that mean the most, and there's nothing more delightful to a dad than a box full of jerky. Each month, he'll get different brands and flavors so he's always trying something new. It's available in one, three, six and twelve-month subscriptions, but no matter which you choose chances are he'll wish it lasted forever.
Skip the stress of gift-giving and have a laugh while Dad opens Harry & David's Seven Days Of Dad Jokes Gift Box. Each cheesy joke-labeled compartment will reveal snacks including caramel popcorn, trail mix, cookies, hickory-smoked sausage and, fittingly, cheese. Order it now and boxes will start shipping on May 12, well in advance of the holiday.
If Dad is still using that lumpy, old pillow every night, treat him to a much needed upgrade. The Coop Home Goods Adjustable Pillow was named our best pillow overall after a year of testing, thanks to its plush shredded memory foam that perfectly cradles your neck and head. It's also entirely adjustable, meaning Dad can add or take out fill in order to get the exact level of firmness needed for his favorite nap position.
Named our best overall walking shoe for men, the On Cloud 5 sneaker is crafted with science-backed CloudTec foam, a forgiving material with a cushioned feel that has been described as 'running on clouds.' It features a removable cushioned arch insole, plus a Speedboard running the length of the sneaker that promotes stability when walking to help Dad reach his daily step goal.
Courant's wireless chargers offer a stylish way to stay powered up. The Mag:3 is a multi-device charger that's bound in either leather or linen. It also has a drop tray for stashing trinkets, which means he can juice up his tech and empty his pockets all in one place.
Perfect for the pops who lives in his Saturday sweats, this stylish option by Vuori not only looks good, it's just as cozy as his favorite worn-in pair. The joggers have built-in boxer briefs, are moisture-wicking and feature a much-appreciated four-way stretch. Throw in the matching jacket to make it a full set.
The Therabody SmartGoggles, our pick for best sleep tech device, will be a welcome relief for the dad that stares at a computer screen for hours each day. The goggles offer a combination of heat, vibration and pressure therapy, which can increase circulation, ease aches and pains and promote relaxation before bed. Therabody's Theragun Mini Massage Gun is also a thoughtful gift for soothing sore muscles post-workout.
Looking for a fun family activity for Father's Day? Republic's 100 Things To Do With Dad Bucket List Scratch Book will give you tons of ideas, from hitting up the arcade to touring the local planetarium. The book features space for you to document your adventures afterwards, as well as meaningful quotes about the beauty of fatherhood.
For the busy new dad who needs to be hands-free, this Lalabu t-shirt will be a hit. The first baby-wearing design of its kind to be made specifically for dads, it can hold newborns up to 15 pounds without the trouble of buckles, snaps or swaddling. All he has to do is tuck the baby into the supportive front pouch and continue on with his to-do list.
If Dad loves to travel, spare him the airline-provided headphones with AirFly's wireless headphone adapter. Now, he can watch all of his favorite movies, shows or games with the comfort of his own (likely noise-canceling) headphones.
Give Dad the gift of a caffeine pick-me-up with an Atlas Coffee subscription, a top pick in our best coffee subscriptions story. Available in whole bean, ground, Keurig pods or Nespresso pods, you'll be able to customize the recurring shipment to his preferences. Each delivery also comes with postcards that include tasting notes and history about each country's unique coffee growing methods.
Your Dad's not a regular dad; he's a super dad. And with this gift set from Happy Socks, he can prove it at all times. The three cotton-blend pairs are comfy, colorful and will make him smile every time he slips them on. The set is also blissfully available with two-day Prime shipping.
Whether Dad is planning a family vacation abroad this summer or just loves to explore new cultures from his living room, a subscription to the language-learning app Babbel will help broaden his horizons. Simply choose from standard or premium packages that span six, twelve or twenty-four months, and leave it up to Dad to select which of the 14 languages he wants to master.
If he loves grilling in the backyard as much as he does hitting the green, the Poligo Golf Club Grilling Set is a thoughtful last-minute father's day gift that combines two of his favorite pastimes. The seven-piece stainless steel barbecue set includes tongs, a spatula, a fork and a basting brush—each with a handle designed to resemble a golf grip—plus a pair of golf ball salt and pepper shakers and a storage bag. Naturally, it's a hole-in-one gift.
Father's Day always falls on the third Sunday in June. This year, it's June 15.
When it comes to celebrating Father's Day, it truly is the thought that counts. In addition to having some quality time to do what he enjoys—relaxing with a beer, playing a round of golf or spending time with family (likely his top choice)—dads love to feel appreciated. In terms of gift-giving, presents that cater to his interests are a sweet way to show how much you care. This can mean a splurge-worthy surprise, like a quality outdoor fire pit, or something thoughtful, like an Atlas Coffee Club subscription or digital photo frame.
You don't have to spent a small fortune to spoil Dad on Father's Day. Spending quality time with family is one of the best ways to celebrate the day, whether it's a brunch gathering, an adventure outdoors or a few rounds of a favorite game. Presents don't have to cost a lot, either; this list includes several under-$50 gifts, from a nifty breakfast sandwich maker to a portable (and waterproof) Bluetooth speaker.

How To Find The Best Bath Towel 2025: An Expert-Backed Guide

What's the difference between Egyptian and Turkish cotton? Or a waffle or terry weave? As a home and kitchen writer at Forbes Vetted, I leveraged the expertise of our experienced editors, analyzed hands-on testing data, and enlisted textile experts to help you find the best bath towels for your needs—ones that are actually worth investing in. I also share the team's top recommendations, including the soft and crowd-pleasing Frontgate Resort Collection Bath Towel to the heavyweight Brooklinen Super-Plush Bath Towel. We compiled this shopping guide to help you find the best bath towels for your home. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTO: caroline mullen for forbes Below, find everything you need to know while bath towel shopping, including picks to consider from our roundup of the best bath towels of 2025. Before you dive into a bath towel's construction, narrow your focus to reputable brands, says Erika Smith, brand manager at online retailer Fine Linen and Bath. 'This can be a luxury towel brand like Abyss, Graccioza, Matouk, Sferra or Yves Delorme, or a mid-market retailer whose brand connotes quality, such as and Land's End,' she says. Private-label offerings from luxury stores, such as Marriott's Luxury Collection Bath Towel, are also most likely of good quality, according to Smith. Kim Peiffer For Forbes Matouk Milagro Bath Towel Material: Long-staple cotton | Construction: Z-twist | Size: 30 x 60 inches | Weight: 550 GSM | Colors: 23 | Certifications: Oeko-Tex The midweight Milagro Bath Towel by Matouk, one of Smith's recommended high-quality brands, is also our home editors' top luxury pick after rigorous testing. Not only did it prove to be the most absorbent towel (tying our best overall), it's also visually striking, according to our tester: 'I love to display this towel on my towel rack; it looks great draped over the rack with its rich color and detailed edges.' There's a reason why almost all eight winners in our best bath towel roundup are made of cotton: It's the gold standard material due to its fiber content. 'Cotton is hydrophilic, which means that it easily absorbs water,' says Sean Cormier, chair of the textile development and marketing department at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. But, not all cotton is the same: Cotton comes in different fiber lengths, known as 'staple." When bath towel shopping, Smith advises going for long- or extra-long-staple cottons. Egyptian cotton is widely regarded as the finest type of cotton, she says: 'It is grown under specific conditions of heat, sun, humidity and fertile soil, and usually harvested by hand to protect the staple.' Egyptian cotton bath towels come in either long or extra-long staple versions, making them among the softest, most attractive and most absorbent. Features: Grown in Egypt Durable Most absorbent Plush and luxurious feel Made with long- or extra-long staple cotton Material: Long-staple Egyptian cotton | Construction: Terry weave | Size: 30 x 58 inches | Weight: 700 GSM | Colors: 11 | Certifications: Oeko-Tex The Riley Spa Bath Towel features Egyptian cotton and has an ample weight of 700 GSM. It also has a terry weave, which is less quick-drying but more absorbent than other weaves like waffle. While it didn't make the final cut as a winner in our best list, those who prefer an ultra-lightweight, quick-drying towel should consider this pick. This cotton is grown in the Aegean region and consists of long-staple fibers. Similar to Egyptian cotton towels, Turkish cotton towels are known for their softness and absorbency, but tend to be slightly less absorbent—and slightly less durable—than Egyptian cotton. That said, Turkish cotton towels are known to be the quickest drying. Features: Grown in the Aegean region Absorbent (slightly less than Egyptian) Smooth and soft feel Quickest drying Made with long-staple cotton Material: 100% fine-combed, long-staple Turkish cotton | Construction: Terry | Size: 30 x 58 inches | Weight: 700 GSM | Colors: 25 | Certifications: Oeko-Tex This pick was named the best bath towel overall on our list. Offering just-right weightiness, absorbency and plushness, our tester reports that these uphold their quality over time. 'I almost feel like they got fluffier after being washed. I'm used to towels losing their plushness and becoming flatter after multiple washes,' she says. Pima Cotton Pima cotton (a.k.a. the brand name Supima) is another type of high-quality cotton, which is why it's typically used in luxury towels. In fact, according to Brian Delp, expert at home textile manufacturer Himatsingka, it's one of the few cotton types with a verifiable quality standard: 'For a cotton to be named Supima, it must be grown in the U.S. and also be an extra-long staple cotton.' Its long fibers translate to less linting, more durability and better color preservation, Delp adds. Features: Grown in the U.S. Soft feel Less shedding/linting Excellent color retention Made with extra-long-staple cotton anna perling for forbes Onsen Supima Waffle Bath Towel Material: Extra-long-staple American Supima cotton | Construction: Waffle | Size: 31 x 57 inches | Weight: 470 GSM | Colors: 12 | Certifications: Oeko-Tex Onsen's Waffle Bath Towels are made from 100% American-grown Supima cotton, which makes up less than 1% of cotton grown in the world, says Smith. 'I can dry off quickly with them or stay wrapped up in them for a while comfortably,' says one tester in her full review of the towel . Consider Towel Weight (GSM) Nailing down the right weight for your needs is also important for figuring out 'factors such as hand feel, personal preference and quick-dry features,' says Delp. The weight of towels (and other fabrics) is measured in grams per square meter, or GSM. Bath towels typically range between 300 and 900 GSM. Generally, the higher you go on that scale, the softer, heavier and more absorbent the towel gets. 300 to 400 GSM: The lightest weight class, these bath towels tend to be thin and quick-drying—making them great for situations like a poorly ventilated bathroom. While they tend to be lower-quality than bath towels in the 400 to 900+ GSM range, there are some exceptions, like the Abyss Pousada; though it's only 300 GSM, Smith recommends it for its textured basket weave that's made out of Egyptian Giza cotton. The lightest weight class, these bath towels tend to be thin and quick-drying—making them great for situations like a poorly ventilated bathroom.

'If made with high-quality cotton, these will be soft, absorbent, yet still dry quickly. This weight range of towel will be quicker to dry, both hanging in the bath and in the dryer when you launder,' she says, citing the Matouk Milagro, which has a 550 GSM, as an example.

This weight range of towel will be quicker to dry, both hanging in the bath and in the dryer when you launder,' she says, citing the Matouk Milagro, which has a 550 GSM, as an example. 600 to 900+ GSM: Towels in this GSM category are what people think of when they think 'luxury': they're heavy, plush and highly absorbent; because of this, however, they tend to take longer to dry. Examples include the Frontgate Resort Collection Bath Towel, our top pick overall after testing, as well as two of Smith's picks: the Abyss Super Pile at 700 GSM and the Graccioza Egoist at 800 GSM. Kim Peiffer For Forbes Brooklinen Super-Plush Bath Towels Material: Long-staple Turkish cotton | Construction: Z-twist | Size: 30 x 58 inches | Weight: 820 GSM | Colors: 18 | Certifications: Oeko-Tex Brooklinen's best-selling Super-Plush Bath Towel is our top heavyweight pick after testing—at 820 GSM, our tester found it extra fluffy, incredibly durable and that it got softer after each use. Pick Your Weave In addition to being a tactile choice, weave types impact absorbency. Here is a breakdown of the main types. Terry weave consists of raised cotton thread loops that are tightly woven on towel's surface. In general, high-GSM cotton bath towels with a terry weave are among the most absorbent, says Smith. Frontgate's Resort Collection Bath Towel falls under this category with its 700 GSM weight and terry, long-staple cotton weave—which helped it clinch the the top spot in our bath towel testing. consists of raised cotton thread loops that are tightly woven on towel's surface. In general, high-GSM cotton bath towels with a terry weave are among the most absorbent, says Smith. Frontgate's Resort Collection Bath Towel falls under this category with its 700 GSM weight and terry, long-staple cotton weave—which helped it clinch the the top spot in our bath towel testing. Waffle weave (a.k.a. honeycomb weave) is characterized by its square-shaped threads, which gives the towel a breathable, lightweight texture. Because they're not as plush as a terry, waffle-weave towels are easier to store. They're also slightly less absorbent than terry towels. We recommend the Onsen Supima Bath Towel if you prefer waffle weave. (a.k.a. honeycomb weave) is characterized by its square-shaped threads, which gives the towel a breathable, lightweight texture. Because they're not as plush as a terry, waffle-weave towels are easier to store. They're also slightly less absorbent than terry towels. We recommend the Onsen Supima Bath Towel if you prefer waffle weave. Zero-twist (Z-twist): Unlike terry towels, zero-twist towels are made with long-staple cotton fibers that are not twisted during the spinning process, making them the plushest and most absorbent of the three weaves (no twisting means greater surface area). However, the fibers' lack of twist makes them more susceptible to pilling than looped fibers, Delp says. Both the Matouk Milagro and the Brooklinen Super-Plush are zero-twist long-staple cotton picks that proved to be highly absorbent in our tests. Durability And Care For the best-quality, longest-lasting towels, here are a few more details to consider—including how to care for your linens after you purchase them. Origin Relatedly, you'll also want to look at the towel's country of origin in to get a sense of its quality, says Smith: Generally, bath towels made in Portugal, Italy, the United States and Turkey indicate a longer-lasting construction. Construction Solid finishing details are also good indicators of durability, experts say. For instance, says Delp, 'Look for double-reinforced side seams, which means the side of the towel should have two rows of stitching. This helps prevent the towel from fraying.' Smith adds, 'When assessing durability, look for banded edges/trim, curved corners for durability and even loops for easy hanging.' Care Even if you buy the highest-quality bath towel, there are other factors that can impact its absorbency and durability over time. 'Even the finest towels can sometimes grow stiff, scratchy and dingy and lose absorbency. This can be due to buildup of laundry detergent and, most commonly, the minerals in hard water,' says Smith. To remove buildup and restore absorbency, she recommends washing your bath towel in warm to hot (not scalding) water with one cup of vinegar. Smith also advises against ever using fabric softener or dryer sheets. 'They leave a waxy buildup on towels that make them less absorbent,' she says.

In addition to research and advice from experts, Sales drew from the firsthand feedback of several product testers, whose findings contributed to our ranking of the best bath towels of 2025. Sales consulted three experts to share insights on how to find the best bath towels: Sean Cormier is chair of the textile development and marketing department at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology . He spent 18 years prior as a textile engineer; Brian Delp is president of sales and licensing at Himatsingka America, a home textiles manufacturer. He's also board vice president of the Home Fashions Product Associations Board (HFPA) and an adjunct instructor at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT); Erika Smith is brand manager at Fine Linen and Bath, an online retailer of luxury home linens.

Based on Forbes Vetted's testing, the best bath towel brands include Frontgate, Matouk and Brooklinen. The brands had some of our favorite towel styles after rigorous testing. How Often Should I Replace My Bath Towels? There's no hard-and-fast rule for how often to replace your bath towels; it all depends on their quality, how often you rotate them and whether you clean them properly. While bath towels have an average lifespan of one to two years, premium bath towels tend to last longer and stay more absorbent, says Smith. 'Store them in a cool, dry place and be sure to rotate your towels to ensure even wear. If you see a stray thread, snip it level with the towel's pile/loop to prevent pulling,' she notes. How Do I Make My Towels Soft Again? To restore your bath towels' softness, skip the fabric softener, advises Delp. 'Softener and other harsh chemicals can either attach to the fibers (reducing their absorbency) or break down the materials, thus reducing their durability,' he says. Instead, if your bath towel is stiff due to residue build-up, try occasionally adding white vinegar to your load; according to Delp, it helps break down residue like soap that tends to build up on the fabric. He also advises, 'Shake out your towels once they're fully dry to fluff out the loops; don't crush them and put them in a high-friction pile.'

During Reformation's Summer Sale, you can save 30% on tons of end-of-summer staples and fall essentials (like the Bethany Ballet Flat, a Forbes Vetted editor favorite). This is one of only of two major sales the brand hosts per year, so don't let it pass you by. Save 30% on bestsellers and fall essentials during this week's Reformation Sale. Illustration: Forbes / Image: Retailer We expect the Reformation sale to run for at least a couple more days, but the most coveted pieces will likely sell out before today is over.

"The mesh feels breathable and flexible, and I've worn these for extended periods without blisters or uncomfortable rubbing," she says. Two colorways are currently on sale. No fall wardrobe is complete without a cozy, oversized sweater. This Reformation design is made of recycled cashmere with dropped shoulders and a ribbed hem that's meant to feel roomy—perfect for layering. Six colorways and patterns are included in the sale.

The jacket is meant to have an oversized fit, but you can also size down for a more tailored look. I love a set. I picked up a red version of this linen set for a summer wedding and it was perfect. The style is sleek and tailored but still comfortable; essentially a blank canvas that can be dressed up or down to create your perfect look. (I paired mine with some lime green kitten heels, similar to this Serenity Bare Sandal which is currently on sale in red.) Oversized bags are trendy again, but you don't want something so large that it loses all practical function. This sleek bowler bag has enough space for all the essentials—including your laptop—as well as functional features like adjustable sides, interior pockets and a magnetic closure.
