Personalized Gifts to Show Your Dad Love on Father's Day in 2025

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 Father's Day gifts under $50 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 Close Hand-crank flipbook box Photo-based gifts are a slam-dunk for dads, and this hand-crank flipbook box is a unique, interactive way to preserve some of his favorite photographs. You can choose to include either 8 or 16 photos, and putting it together is as simple as uploading them during the checkout process. (You can also preview what the images will look like when "flipping.") When you're done, the photos are put together in this flipbook format that is reminiscent of the days of drawing a stick figure on a bunch of Post-its and then watching it "move." This is a much cooler, more polished version of that and we're here for it. $30 at Soufeel Close Personalized garden stone kit Just add water and dear old dad will have a precious personalized stepping stone keepsake this Father's Day. This easy kit contains a portioned bag of dry cement, your choice of color pigment, a plastic mold, gems, popsicle stick and pro tips for creating a garden masterpiece. It'll literally cement memories of this phase of life for him. If you're planning ahead, you could buy the kit and create the stepping stone in time to give the finished product to the dad in your life on Father's Day. However, it's also one of those crafts he'd probably enjoy doing with the kids too -- a chance to get messy and make something? Score! There are three stone sizes to choose from (10, 12 and 14 inches). Prices start at $30. See at Etsy Close Wonderbly book Looking to make your favorite dad shed a happy tear? Personalized Wonderbly books might just do it. These sentimental books can be customized with Dad's name or nickname and up to four children's names and characters so the whole family is represented.

Engraving starts at $10 and there are endless options: You can add text, a monogram, a graphic or even upload a photo.
