For the grill master
Small upgrades he'll use every weekend.
Instant-read meat thermometer
No more guessing if the steak is done. A fast, accurate reading makes him look like a pro.
Grill tool set
Spatula, tongs and fork in a carry case. Great if his current tools are mismatched or worn out.
BBQ rub and sauce sampler
A gift set lets him try new flavors without buying full-size bottles of each.
Bristle-free grill brush
Cleans the grates without loose wire bristles, which is a practical upgrade he may not buy himself.
For the coffee lover
For the dad who is not himself before his first cup.
Insulated travel tumbler
Keeps coffee hot through a long commute or a long game. Look for a leak-resistant lid.
French press or pour-over set
A simple way to upgrade his morning coffee without buying an expensive machine.
Coffee bean sampler
Several small bags of different roasts, so he can find a new favorite.
For the gadget guy
Useful tech he'll notice the first time it saves him a hassle.
Tech organizer case
Keeps cables, chargers and adapters in one place instead of a tangled drawer.
Portable power bank
Handy for travel, long days out and anyone whose phone dies at 20 percent.
Wireless earbuds
Good for the gym, yard work or calls. Compare battery life and reviews, since quality varies widely.
Magnetic car phone mount
Keeps his phone in view for maps without fumbling. Check that it fits his car's vents or dash.
For the outdoorsman
For camping, fishing, hiking, or just sitting in the backyard.
Multitool
A classic gift that gets used for years. Pick a brand with strong reviews.
LED headlamp
Hands-free light for camping, fixing things in the dark, or power outages.
Folding camp chair
Comfortable seating for the campsite, the sidelines or the tailgate.
Insulated water bottle
Keeps drinks cold or hot all day and replaces the worn-out bottle he's been carrying.
Not sure what he'd like? Think about what he does every week, not what he says he wants. The best gifts for dads usually make something he already does a little easier or more enjoyable.
