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 DeluxeSuper 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
