Does it seem like the dad in your life already has it all? This can make Father's Day shopping particularly tricky. That's where personalized presents come in. A custom gift adds a sentimental touch and you can be sure he doesn't have it already, since it was made just for him.
We know there are many, many customizable products out there. However, we've combed through the vast online selection and picked the standouts for Father's Day. There are budget-friendly picks (like funny socks), more extravagant gifts (like personalized luggage) and plenty of options in between (like a personalized olive oil bottle).
There's something on this list for every kind of dad too. Opt for customized Vans sneakers for the cool dad. Personalized golf balls will delight the aspiring golf pro. A custom ceramic pet mug is perfect for the fur dad in your life. Whatever he's into, the personal touch will put a smile on his face.

Personalized Funko Pop!
Dad doesn't have to be an avid Pop! collector to appreciate when his likeness is turned into a mini vinyl character with an enormous head. Creating a custom Pop! is just as fun for the gifter as it is for the recipient, with tons of options to personalize everything from hair and clothing to accessories. Add in special dad touches like a "Best Dad Ever" shirt, a trophy or a festive Father's Day balloon. It'll be a unique, lighthearted gift he never knew he needed -- but won't stop showing off. $40 at Funko
