Every dad is unique, so a one-size-fits-all gift isn't going to suffice this Father's Day. The annual holiday honoring the main man in the family is quickly approaching, falling on Sunday, June 20, which means there is no better time to snag a little special something that truly shows appreciation for Dad.
For more than a century, Father's Day has been celebrated on the third Sunday in June -- a way to not only honor dads but also other paternal bonds. The best gift for a father or father figure should reflect not only who they are as a person, but also what makes them special. Take a look at these 20 Father's Day gifts -- at a wide range of price points -- that celebrate every type of dad, from the old-school gamer dad to the weekend warrior.
For the aloha dad: California Cowboy High Water shirt
If Dad's Hawaiian shirt from his college years is starting to resemble Swiss cheese, revamp his collection with this fashionable-meets-functional 2021 version of the old classic from California Cowboy. The vintage prints offer an air of nostalgia, but this shirt also boasts updated features, including water- and sweat-absorbing terry lining, a reinforced bottle pocket, a water-resistant dry pocket for his phone, a loop for sunglasses and a specially designed bottle opener and pocket. The shirt also comes with a beer koozie.
For the on-the-go dad: Sonos Roam
Wherever this dad goes, his music is playing. He might appreciate the latest offering from one of the leading speaker companies in the world: the Sonos Roam. This small but mighty waterproof (IP67) speaker is so compact it can fit in the front pocket of his shirt and weighs less than one pound. Still, it manages to deliver up to ten hours of tunes. And if dad has more than one, they can all play in sync, creating a whole home entertainment system.
For the gamer dad: Nintendo Switch
It was impossible to find during the peak of the pandemic, but the good news is that the Nintendo Switch console is back in stock in time for Father's Day. If dad loves to game -- especially old-school Nintendo gaming -- consider a Nintendo Switch console. And don't forget to pick up a couple of games the whole family can play such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Super Mario Party. Picking up a couple extra Joy-Con controllers wouldn't hurt, either.
For the old-school dad: Victrola The Eastwood hybrid turntable
If the crackle of old vinyl still makes his heart skip a beat, Victrola's The Eastwood 3-speed hybrid turntable is a no-brainer. It plays all of his old records, effortlessly connecting via Bluetooth with his modern-day sound system or speakers for a premium, old-school sound.
For the meat-lover dad: Viking Acacia Cutting Board
He grills, he roasts, he smokes. So get him a luxurious cutting board set from luxe kitchen line Viking. The kit includes a non-slip acacia wood board, a carving knife, meat fork and sharpener.
For the dad who loves candles: DW candles
DW Home recently launched a line of masculine-scented candles, perfect for the pops who appreciates a scent-filled room. One scent worth a try is Barber Shop, a fresh-smelling, amber-centric aroma with hints of black caramel and teakwood-infused coffee beans.
For the perfectly tailored dad: A custom outfit from Revtown x Mizzen+Main
It can be hard to pick clothes for dad, but this joint venture between Revtown and Mizzen+Main makes shopping for his Father's Day outfit much easier. The limited-edition fashion crate includes a pair of Revtown's designer-for-less jeans -- whichever fit, size or wash he prefers -- and his choice of short-sleeve dress shirt from Mizzen+Main.
For the griller dad: Yummly Bluetooth thermometer
His cooking method of choice? Grilling. Whether he likes his steak bloody or burnt to a crisp, this 4.4-star rated Bluetooth-enabled smart thermometer, with presets, timers and alerts for different types of meat, will take the guesswork out of grilling and make dinnertime less of a stress.
