Father’s Day Gift Guide: 7 Gifts for Every Kind of Dad

Father’s Day is coming up and if you’re looking for something more inspired than a golf polo or gas station card, we’ve got you. Whether he’s your dad, stepdad, grandpa, partner, or just someone who’s always shown up with a tool kit and advice, now’s the time to give him a gift that feels personal, practical, and maybe even a little indulgent.

This year’s list includes 7 thoughtful picks for every kind of dad—whether he’s a coffee snob, a backyard firestarter, or trying to sneak in five minutes of peace and quiet. Keep it simple with one great gift, or pair a few for a custom bundle he won’t see coming.

1. Solo Stove Mesa Tabletop Fire Pit

For the dad who loves the outdoors—or just wants a reason to slow down in the evening. The Mesa is a compact, smokeless fire pit that’s perfect for patios, porches, and s’mores. No big yard or setup required.

2. Vaer S5 Calendar Field Watch

A no-fuss, stylish timepiece that can handle a hike or a happy hour. Water-resistant, USA-assembled, and designed to look sharp without being flashy. A great everyday watch that feels a little more special on Father’s Day.

3. Bose QuietComfort 45 Noise-Cancelling Headphones

For the dad who deserves peace and quiet—but maybe lives with a drummer, a barking dog, or a very enthusiastic leaf blower. These are consistently ranked as one of the top gifts this year, and once he tries them, you’ll never get them back.

4. New Balance NB 9060 Sneakers

They’re called “dad shoes” for a reason—except this version is actually cool. Comfortable, supportive, and trending in 2025, the NB 9060 is a fashion-forward take on a classic, everyday sneaker.

5. Theragun Mini 2.0

If he won’t schedule a massage, bring the massage to him. This compact percussion device offers serious relief for sore shoulders, tight backs, and post-workout recovery. Great for travel, too.

6. Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2

Because coffee doesn’t drink itself. This sleek smart mug keeps his drink hot for up to 90 minutes and lets him set the perfect sipping temperature. For busy mornings, slow Sundays, and every moment in between.

7. A Bottle of Cut Above Zero-Proof Spirit

You didn’t think we’d leave this off the list, did you? A bottle of Cut Above—whether it’s whiskey, mezcal, agave blanco, or gin—is a perfect gift for any dad looking to sip smarter. Full of flavor, free of alcohol, and crafted to feel just as special as the real thing.
Bonus points if you pair it with a shaker, a few fresh ingredients, and a handwritten recipe card.

Wrap It All Up

You don’t have to overthink it. A great Father’s Day gift doesn’t need to be expensive or elaborate—it just needs to show you thought about him. Whether that means giving him tools to relax, sneakers that finally replace his decade-old pair, or a better cup of coffee, these gifts go beyond the usual and let him know you see him.

And if a bottle of Cut Above finds its way into the celebration? Even better.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Cut Above.
