35 Best Father’s Day Gifts of 2025

A dad who packs his lunch is a dad who’s healthy and fiscally responsible. That’s cool. Carhartt makes gear that looks great while still being durable, and this lunch box is no exception.

I mention this in the Esquire coffee table book guide, but I truly believe our loss of ballparks is a national tragedy. Bigger, “fan-friendly” stadiums have been prioritized over the soul of America’s pastime. My hometown Atlanta Braves have destroyed the stadium where Hank Aaron hit 715 to move into the Olympic Stadium (!!!), only to vacate it and move to the suburbs and build Truist Park, which I call Baseball Disneyland (derogatory term).

I’m working myself up… Get him a coffee table book that tells the stories of our greatest ballparks, even the new monstrosities.

If he’s got a car he cares about (all dads do), a dash cam is the ultimate protection tool. Plus, his insurance will probably give him a discount for using one.

It’s a bird feeder with a camera and companion app that will livestream video and identify species. I don’t think there’s a more “dad” gift on Amazon.

Dad deserves a special ring too.

Nothing looks better tossed into the trunk for a weekend away.

A few Father’s Days ago, we upgraded my dad from an old rusted-to-shit Weber Kettle he’d had for 20 years. (My brother took it, don’t worry.) The old man got the new Weber Kettle Premium, which adds usability touches like a handle guard, enclosed ashtray, and hinged grate for easy charcoal top-ups. For 90-percent of what a man wants to grill, this is the ideal tool.

There comes a time in every American man’s culinary journey that he wants to transition from Grill Guy to Guy with a Smoker. Now, I love doing shit the old fashioned way. If he wants something for real, get him a Lang pit.

But if he wants to dip his toe into smoking, with all the benefits and less of the legwork, get him a pellet grill. In my opinion, the recteq Flagship is as good as any.

If you’re like me—the son of a certain type of man, and a certain type of man yourself—you might not say “I love you,” to him a lot. (We’re fine. Quality time and acts of service are more the love language.) In that case, make your gift say it. An subtle heart detail on an Hermès tie is all it takes.

Get him aviators that are more Robert Redford off-duty, less Tom Cruise in Top Gun.

A classic. Sure, there are more complete ways to improve his short, but none are as time-efficient as a send-it-back putting green. If he’s looking to put in his 10,000 hours, sticking one of these in his office will surely help.

For the range, this Rapsodo launch monitor that works with his phone is the best thing short of paying for a pro.

While we’re talking golf, let me say this one. Watch any stop on the tour, and the discerning eye will notice something: All these guys are chugging water out of YETI bottles. Dad knows this, so it’s a simple gift that he’ll really love. To go the extra mile, buy one off the YETI website and you can get it engraved for him.

Not only can Dad ditch his overstuffed wallet, but he can ditch the wallet completely. This aluminum card carrier holds up to 12 cards and plenty of cash, though you’d hardly be able to tell. It’s minimal and dead useful, just like he appreciates.

If there’s one thing Dad doesn’t realize he needs in his backyard, it’s this outdoor pizza oven. Not only is it surprisingly mobile—Dad can even move it indoors to cook pizzas by his bed if that’s his jam—but it’ll cook them in just one minute.

Snake River Farms sells some of the best American Wagyu you’re gonna find. If you’re really on a time crunch, get a gift card.

A timeless fragrance for a classic man.
