It will be a few more years before dad passes down the family Rolex, but that doesn’t mean you can’t thank him in advance with a luxurious gift of your own.

Dad’s not right without his morning cup of joe. When he takes his first sip, he’ll know straight away this isn’t from his regular coffee maker. He’ll ask a question or two but you’ll play dumb until he walks in the kitchen and sees Keurig’s brand-new K-Express topped off with a red bow on his countertop. A present he’s always been afraid to ask for but is certainly excited to get.

9. A New Streaming Service

Americans love to watch TV, especially on nice, big TVs. We love going to the movies. But more and more, especially over the past few months, we’ve been enjoying movies in the comfort of our own homes. If your pops is a big movie or TV buff, getting him that streaming service he’s been hesitant to add to his monthly subscriptions is a good call. You could go with Netflix, Amazon Prime or the new Disney+, but our top recommendation is the new HBO Max. For just $15/month, your dad can watch his favorite TV shows and hundreds of movies whenever he likes, making this one of the best gifts for fathers that simply keeps on giving.

10. Anker Wireless Charger

Is your dad the type to dawn over each and every new gadget and gizmo you present to him as if it is the coolest thing he’s seen since sliced bread? Well, gift him the Anker wireless charger. Yeah, he’s got an iPhone or an Android, but he’s calling you up every single day asking you how to do something. “How do I change my brightness? How do I turn off ‘Do Not Disturb’? How do I charge my phone?” Rid that last question forever, because now, he can wirelessly throw this on the charging dock and let that phone juice up, completely wire-free. There’s no doubt that he’s going to be impressed, so get giftin’.

11. Chef Apron-Cross Back Apron

What’s papa cookin’? Whatever it is, it smells good. But, there’s only one issue: he keeps spilling sauce on his shirt as he’s cooking. That’s why one of the best gifts for dads is an apron for cooking. With this one from Amazon, dad can place all of his spoons in the pockets provided in the front and cover his clothes at the same time. How neat is that?

12. Jackery Explorer Portable Power Stations

Gift your dad the ability to never run out of power again. We recently tested and reviewed the Jackery Explorer 1500 Portable Power Station, and it’s a mighty impressive power station. At this point, consider us obsessed with this generator. It has three different ways of charging which are solar, through an AC power outlet or via car, meaning dad can even take this on the road. Our favorite model has a 1488 Wh capacity, which is absolutely insane, and can charge up to seven different appliances at the same time. Bonkers. However, even the most affordable 160W option will still be super handy in an emergency.

14. Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera

We used to be huge Polaroid fans, but up until recently, we’ve become totally obsessed with Fujifilm’s line of instant cameras.

The Instax Mini 11 is Fujifilm’s most recent instant camera capturing moments in a cute-colored body your dad will enjoy forever. Photos develop a ton faster than anything Polaroid is making, too. Expect a fully-developed Fujifilm snapshot in just a minute, while Polaroid will take you over 10. Plus, the camera itself and film are way cheaper than Polaroid.

Sure, dad might love the Polaroid name, but it’s time to show him that old-school tricks deserve a little bit of modernity with Fujifilm.

Each glass is also wide enough to hold a full 11 ounces of his favorite hard liquor, which can be rewarding or consolatory depending on his day. Toast to your dear old dad’s health with these classy glasses, one of the best gifts for dad for any occasion.

16. Fresh Clean Tees Crew Neck

Dad’s always ruining his shirts. Whether he’s spilling food on top, shrinking them in the wash or ripping them while putting on, his T-shirt collection is dwindling fast. If he needs a couple of quality tees to help replenish his wardrobe a little, Fresh Clean Tees is here to help him.

These inexpensive tees are the best T-shirts you can buy. How do we know that? Well, we’ve tested them. The shape, softness and color have all stayed the same wash after wash after wash. And, speaking of colors, there are tons to choose from. You simply cannot find a better tee for a better price and we’re sure of it.

17. Therabody Mini Massage Gun

The SPY team loves massage guns, and Theragun is the gold standard of percussive massagers. Recently, Theragun rebranded as Therabody and released a new generation of massagers. In our experience, some massage guns can actually be too intense for the average customer, which is why the Therabody Mini is the perfect gift for older recipients. This premium massage gun is easy to use and lets anyone enjoy a deep tissue massage in their own home. Not only is this one of the top tech gifts of last year, but it’s also a perfect gift idea for dads.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you recently learned that Apple released their 3rd Gen Apple AirPods and it’s safe to say we’re obsessed. Dad’s been wanting these on the low for years now but hasn’t had the courage to tell you, so we think they’ll make one of the best gifts for dad this year that he simply wasn’t expecting. These wireless earbuds use spatial audio and dynamic head tracking to place sound all around your cranium. Additionally, they’re built with a new contoured design so papa won’t complain about any discomfort. Topped off with sweat and water resistance and up to 30-hours of total listening time when inside the charger, these are a must-have.

Cornhole is a great game for all seasons, depending on where you live, and is easy to pick up so he can invite all his dad friends over to play.

23. Sonos Move Speaker

A Sonos is a must-have dad gadget for a few reasons. The sound quality is superb but more importantly, the ease of use means your dad won’t be calling you with tech questions all the time. It’s got Amazon Alexa built right in which might freak out your parents at first, but after a while, they’ll love the convenience. The setup takes a few minutes and all it takes is a WiFi connection to stream their favorite music easily. This speaker from Sonos is durable and battery-powered so they can bring it anywhere with them and enjoy up to 10 hours of continuous play time.

Work, travel or the gym, duffel bags come in handy for many things, and if there’s anything SPY editors love, it’s a good travel bag. And no one constructs a better weekender for the price than Herschel Supply Co. The Canadian manufacturer has an insane collection of bags to choose from, but we strongly recommend the Novel Duffel Bag. It’s light and spacious, offering just enough room to store a weekend’s worth of clothing, while also housing a shoe compartment to carry a pair of sneakers or wingtips. Tough tech fabric makes up most of the Novel’s construction, guaranteeing durability and long-term use. Herschel also sells it in over 37 colors; Raven Crosshatch (pictured below) and Woodland Camo are some of our favorites.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is all the incentive dad needs to cut the cord on his cable box. With access to hundreds of thousands of movies and shows across every major streaming platform, why does he even need cable at this point? Dad still needs a subscription, but the Fire TV Stick makes it easy to stream Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go, Disney+, HBO Max and Apple TV+.

If he’s a true couch potato, then he’ll swoon over the device’s impeccable Alexa voice command performance, which demonstrates great speech recognition and pulls up search results in a jiffy. Its compact size also means he can pack it for business trips to use on hotel TVs.

Does dad have a rum & rye sitting on his bar cart? We doubt it. This year, gift dad one of the newest, most sought-after bottles from Flaviar — Hercules Mulligan Rum & Rye. This bottle is named after Irish-American tailor and American Revolutionary War spy Hercules Mulligan and has a flavor as sneaky as him. It’s got an interesting complexity that mixes bitterness with honey, ryes and exotic fruits. It’s truly a taste dad’s never tried before but one he’s going to continue sipping bottle after bottle.

Unlike a lot of the best back scratchers, this one is really gentle on skin and uses bristles similar to the ones you’d see on a modern hairbrush.

Never let pops go barefooted on the cold, hardwood floor ever again, ensure those tootsies are always wrapped up with this smartly designed slipper.

42. Audio-Technica Fully Automatic Turntable

Let dad relive his glory days and dust off that record collection with a brand new record player with Bluetooth capabilities. The sound quality on this thing is beautiful, and considering so many modern (and oldie) artists have vinyl records available all over the place, having a record player is a great way for pops to rediscover and discover both old and new favorites again. Considering it’s Bluetooth, the record player doesn’t have a speaker, but pairing it to your dad’s JBL or Amazon Echo Dot is potentially the easiest thing he’ll do all year long. Looking for a record to go along with it? We suggest checking Amazon, Urban Outfitters, FYE, Target and VNYL (a surprise vinyl record subscription service) for oldies and modern picks alike.

They don’t even come close to as sloppy as dad’s old sweats he’s been rocking since his college days. Do him a favor — give those to God and get him these as one of the best gifts for dad in 2022.
