Below, find the only gift guide you’ll need if you happen to spend *way* too much time on Amazon…as we do. Rest assured we did all the research on some of our most beloved and highly recommended products so you don’t have to.
Yes, we had to. The New Balance Men’s 608 V5 Casual Comfort Cross Trainer are the epitome of “dad shoes,” doubling as the most practical pair of walking shoes that match with everything and are renowned for being comfortable. Not to mention, dad will surely appreciate a newly minted pair of white sneakers.
The 411 from my dad: the Corkcicle Stemless Insulated Wine Glass Tumbler is one of the best inventions to ever exist. Mine adores this bring-with-you-everywhere cup that’s perfect for a glass of ice-cold water all day long. It’s also easy to clean, less than $25 on Amazon and comes in a buffet of colors.
One of the buzziest products that are most wanted (or should we say, Post Wanted) is the YETI Hopper Flip 12 Portable Soft Cooler. Our loved ones even included it on their wedding registry, much ado for its durability and portability. Plus, the brand has this useful item in a variety of colors to choose from.

It’s Father’s Day, which means we’re looking into purchasing our dads a brand-new tie. But, not just any tie — a cool tie.
Ideal for foraying into the summer months by the ocean, the Vineyard Vines Micro Whales Printed Tie is the picture-perfect option, even made for the dad who doesn’t love flashy patterns. This shade of blue matches with any sports coat or dress shirt, too.
My dad *loves* a new tool set. Seriously, there are so many to choose from, that I should just give him one every Father’s Day from now on. One of his favorite bundles is the Craftsman 8-Piece Screwdriver Set that’s budget-friendly and will come in handy for all of his home improvement projects.
One thing’s for sure: you can never have too many undershirts. The Hanes Cotton Moisture-Wicking Crew Tee Undershirts (6-Pack) are a top-selling option that will serve dad well for every day of the work week. They’re loved for being comfortable, practical and ultra-soft.
And, even if dad has them, a new pack is the affordable gift that’ll instantly become one of his favorites to open.
Dads do a lot, so it’s time to splurge. The Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine is a desirable item among nearly every coffee lover we know. Of course, you can certainly opt for a more affordable coffee maker on Amazon, but this one is barista-grade for crafting exemplary brews from home.

A Post Wanted reader-favorite is the Hey Dude Men’s Wally Sox Loafer each year — and rightfully so. They won’t break the bank and we consider them the perfect slip-on shoes for a casual weekend or even to head to work. More than 131,000 shoppers can’t stop raving about the pair, lending the shoes a spot as a No. 1 Amazon best-seller.
Whichever way you slice it, dad can appreciate a sharp and brand-new chef’s knife to propel him to Gordon Ramsay status. Luckily, the HENCKELS Classic Razor-Sharp 8-Inch Slicing Knife is the crème de la crème on Amazon, featuring a German-engineered makeup and precise cutting.

If dad isn’t much of a home chef, gift him a grilling kit for flipping burgers instead. The Cuisinart Wooden Handle Grill Tool Set is a full-throttle kit that’s made of trusty steel with robust wooden handles. Inside, you’ll find a spatula, cleaning brush, tongs, four stainless skewers and four corn cob holders.
Multiple Post Wanted editors can’t stop sporting the Bose QuietComfort Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones at the office so, naturally, they landed within our gift guide. They truly boast spectacular sound, are typically on sale and feature 24 hours of battery life for an over-ear set you can use on the regular.

Pickleball was The Sport of 2023, but it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. Whether dad is a novice to the sport or finds himself with a paddle in hand whenever it’s sunny outside, he’s sure to appreciate the Giarollirace Pickleball Paddles Set, which is wonderfully less than $50.
What would a Father’s Day gift guide be without a mention of a personalized golf gift that’s par for the course? The Westman Works Father’s Day Golf Ball 2-Piece Set is one of the more affordable options on this list but easily one of our favorites. It’s also great for the collector and anyone who would appreciate a sentimental gift this year.
To pair with the set, grab dad a pair of new, expert-approved golf shoes to round out the theme fore dad (get it?)
If your dad has the same technology from the 90s, upgrade his regularly used systems with the Google Nest Smart Learning Thermostat. It’s one we personally love to use for its minimalist design and Alexa-compatibility.
Conveniently, its Home/Away Assist mode automatically adjusts itself to an Eco Temperature after you leave, allowing you to conserve energy (and, likely save money on your heating and cooling bill) so you don’t heat or cool an empty home.
Sleek, handsome and fit for dad’s pocket, the Bellroy Hide & Seek Slim Leather Wallet is a less-than-$100 gift idea hailing from one of our favorite brands for men. Made with premium full-grain leather, it can fit up to 12 cards, though you’d never know it because of its slender design.

My dad’s favorite cologne is the Ralph Lauren Polo Blue Cologne and nearly 9,000 shoppers have an affinity for this premium brand’s scent, too. This aquatic, fresh and citrusy scent isn’t too overpowering either, making it the perfect gift to treat dad to before the heat of the summer months.
Lounge and pajama pants are always a good gift to unwrap, so grab dad not one but two pairs from Fruit of the Loom. They’re a great value and look like bottoms we want to wear 24/7 and never take off.
