It happens every year. Dad is always the last person on everyone’s list. We get it, we’re hard to shop for. But this year, we’re going to help everyone out. Pass this list along to anyone who asks you for “some ideas” on what to get you, and sit back and enjoy.
Here are the best things we’ve found this season:
GIFTS FOR THE GRILLMASTER
BigMouth Inc The Grill Sergeant BBQ Apron
If he takes this grilling thing seriously — maybe a little too seriously? — this is the ultimate accessory. A military-style apron that beefs up his whole experience.
Man Crates Grill Master Crate
This one’s so much fun. A sealed crate that’s practically impossible to open, filled with a smoker box, a tenderizer, sauces and spices. Manly!
Grace Kitchenwares 3 n 1 BBQ Accessories Dream Set
Grilling gets a whole lot more badass when you’re wearing “bear claws.” Heads up: there’s a 100% chance he references Wolverine. Every. Single. Time.
GIFTS FOR THE BEER DRINKER

If he loves retro AND modern, this is perfect. A turntable for the pure sound of records, with the Bluetooth ability to pump it to wireless speakers.
Apple AirPods with Charging Case
These barely-there wireless headphones are a perfect gift for gadget and music lovers. And the case is even trackable, so (unlike his keys) he’ll have a hard time losing them.
Amazon Echo Dot
A super-popular bluetooth speaker with a built-in robot assistant? It’s like all his dreams are coming true.
GIFTS FOR THE SPORTS LOVER

Baseball Park Map Glasses
Diamonds aren’t just a girl’s best friend. These ballpark map glasses feature his home away from home, and combine two of his greatest loves.

GIFTS FOR THE FUNNY DAD
The Dad Book- Truths, Hacks, and Dad-isms
If he loves to laugh, this is the perfect gift. Packed with hilarious jokes, hacks and dad-isms, yet (almost) small enough to fit in his cargo shorts.

“It’s not a toy! It’s an advanced aerial photography device.” Suuuuuuure it is. But it’s also a pretty cool toy.

Whether he loves the beach, tailgating, or just hanging out in the yard, this waterproof, leakproof, insulated mega-cooler makes everything a lot more chill.

Just Crunch Anti-Soggy Cereal Bowl
If he’s cuckoo for crunchy cereal, this is a game-changer. A divider in the bowl lets him skip the soggy spoonfuls, and enjoy what he really wants.
