13 best Father's Day gifts for the dad who 'doesn't want anything'
This year, Father's Day is on Sunday, June 15, and you're probably already feeling the pressure to find the right gift. While dads can be notoriously hard to shop for, this year at NBC Select, we've got you covered with the best Father's Day gift ideas across categories like tech, outdoors and home and kitchen. I gathered thoughtful gifts based on past coverage, including some picks from staff-favorite brands like Garmin, Apple and Quince to help you nail Father's Day shopping this year. The best Father's Day gift ideas in 2025 Below, I've rounded up the best Father's Day gift ideas, including products from brands we've reviewed in the past along with some NBC Select staff favorites. Be sure to check shipping times to confirm that your gift will arrive on time and avoid showing up to the celebrations empty handed. If your dad is big on the outdoors, this travel coffee kit from Aeropress could be a handy addition to his next camping trip. After adding coffee and water, he can stir the mixture and then press down on the top of the Aeropress, which uses air pressure and micro-filtration to brew 1 to 3 servings of espresso, according to the brand. It can also make cold brew, and comes with a mug and a lid that doubles as a travel case. The brand designed these golf balls to be faster and optimized for control on the green, according to Callaway. They have a soft feel and an aerodynamic design that'll help the flight of your dad's golf swing. The brand carefully measures and crafts each ball for precision to help him improve his golf skills. Each pack contains three golf balls, which you can get personalized with your dad's name. Surprise dad with a mini lip care set to stay hydrated and protected. This trio from Jack Black includes three flavors (shea butter, natural mint and pineapple mint), all three of which have hydrating ingredients like cocoa butter and avocado oil, which help to moisturize lips throughout the day. The lip balms also provide much-needed protection from the sun — they absorb UVB rays and have an SPF of 25, according to the brand. NBC Select commerce editor Cory Fernandez has very specific criteria when it comes to socks, and this pair from Uniqlo has been his go-to set for the last five years. 'I always end up back at Uniqlo because the brand's socks are incredibly comfortable, considerably soft and practically tear-resistant — all at a great price point,' he wrote in his review of the Colorful 50. They're made from a cotton blend and come in over 50 colors, so you can grab your dad a pair in his favorite shade. One simple but effective gift to consider for dad this year is a good quality t-shirt that will hold up over time, such as the popular Carhartt relaxed-fit pocket t-shirt. It's perfect for dads who prefer a comfortable and somewhat oversized fit for their shirts — the hem comes to just below the waist and the raglan sleeves are a few inches above the shoulders. It also has UPF 25 to help provide protection against the sun, and it's made from a fast-drying polyester blend, according to the brand. This quarter-zip sweater is 100% organic cotton, making it soft and lightweight, according to the brand. It has a fisherman-rib design that adds a texture, and has an airy and breathable feel that makes it great for wearing on its own, or layering with other pieces. It's the ideal sweater for your dad's next casual night out, especially if he lives in a cool climate. A good apron can make time spent in the kitchen that much more enjoyable, so whether your dad is an amateur cook or an at-home chef, this top-rated apron is sure to be a hit. It has an adjustable neck strap for maximum comfort, along with utility loops for holding tools or towels, according to the brand. The apron is made from a water- and stain-resistant fabric, and is also machine washable. These Dylan clogs are a stylish, more minimal alternative to the Classics. They have a smooth, rounded top that looks like a classic mule, yet still has the comfortable softness that many Crocs have. They work as both indoor and outdoor slippers, so your dad can use them for days spent outside or as an in-home pairing with his favorite robe or set of pjs. Apple's iPads are our favorite tablets, and with a faster A16 processing chip on this new model, your dad will be able to access social media, streaming, web browsing and more with faster speed than before, according to Apple. Fernandez says he uses his iPad a lot more than he thought he would. 'It's the perfect travel accessory and prevents me from getting bored on long-haul flights,' he says. 'Plus, I love pairing it with a cover that doubles as a stand.' This iPad is available with 128GB, 256GB or 512GB of storage, and in a variety of colors including blue, silver, pink and more. If your dad is into, getting into, or even just thinking about fitness, a smartwatch is a great way to help enhance his experience. After trying the Garmin Forerunner 165 for over a month, NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz says it's a robust smartwatch with 'many of the brand's best features'. Your dad can sync his phone to show call and text notifications, and also take advantage of a wide range of tracking metrics, including daily steps, calories burned, floors climbed, heart rate, running data, sleep and stress data and more. The watch only comes in one size, however you can choose between black and white colorways. As a cool addition to summertime movie nights, cookouts or just evenings on the porch, a smokeless fire pit is a great way to take summer fun with you everywhere. This pit from Solo Stove heats the air around it, which burns off smoke before it can leave the pit, according to the brand — meaning your dad won't have to deal with any strong smoke smell after using it. It has a removable ash pan and base plate, and also comes with a carry case for easy storage and portability. I've always been more of a physical book fan, but after Onyx sent me a sample of the Boox Palma 2, I was seriously inclined to change my mind. It's basically a stripped-down version of a smartphone that allows you to download apps for music, read and more from the Google Play store. I especially love taking mine to the gym in the mornings — I'm able to listen to music while lifting and read while on the cardio machines, all without the distractions of texting, phone calls or social media. NBC Select commerce editor Jordan Bowman also tested the Boox Palma 2 for over three weeks and it became his go-to method of reading. It's the ideal device for dads looking to disconnect from time to time. The Beast blender makes it easy to whip up delicious smoothies, purees and more. Your dad can choose from a manual pulse or decide on one of the pre-programmed, one minute blending options, according to the brand. The blender includes a shatter-resistant and dishwasher-safe blending jug, along with a drinking lid, two storage lids, two straws, a carry cap, a straw cap and a straw-cleaning brush. 'This blender is incredibly powerful and blends ice in seconds' says Fernandez who tried out an earlier version of the appliance. 'I also love the look of it on my shelf — it makes me more motivated to make something in it.' Why trust NBC Select?
