For the Father Who Has Everything: 20 Gift Ideas Your Dad Will Love

This is as good as it gets when it comes to audio and Apple. The AirPods Max 2 are the company's latest headphones (released earlier this year) and have every bell and whistle ever released in AirPods. The "active noise cancellation" (tunes out noises around you, so you can enjoy your music better) is magically good. The battery gives you as much as 20 hours of listening time between charges. And, if you happen to wear these while traveling, you can tap into live translation features to understand people around you. They come with an included USB C cable, so you can enjoy lossless audio when you plug into your iPhone.

This is a budget-friendly option, and that's why so many people are now switching back to wired earbuds. Apple's EarPods are their standard wired headphones. They have a built-in microphone, so you can take calls, and they're having a real moment now as many people move toward simpler tech. You never have to worry about charging these earbuds. If you lose 'em, they're only $25. And, since they're wired, it means you'll actually enjoy lossless audio when you use them with your iPhone. Pro tip: make sure to buy the lightning connector version if your dad has an older iPhone (iPhone 14 models and older).

This grill from Weber checks all the boxes you'd want in a grill. It's well-made. Easy to light. The burners cook evenly and maintain temperature, but there's a hidden benefit. It has built-in Smarts. A little dial on the side displays the current temp of the grill. Plug in an (included) smart probe into that dial and you can now tell the perfect internal temp or doneness level for anything you're cooking on the grill. The best part? It connects to an app to notify you when everything's at the right temperature, so you never overcook your food again. The grill is available with either propane and natural gas hook-ups.

If dad's already got a grill he loves (and you don't feel like shelling out a thousand bucks for a Father's Day gift), you can simply add the smarts from the previous grill to his existing BBQ set-up. The Weber Connect Hub is an accessory that allows you to monitor the temperature of your grill and the things you're cooking all from your smartphone. While there are four slots for probes, the device only comes with two: one of which you use to measure the ambient temperature under the BBQ hood, and the other you'd use for food.

Find a dad who isn't obsessed with the thermostat. For dads who want the ultimate control on their heating, cooling, and energy budget, the Nest Learning Thermostat is amazing you can read the full review here. Not only can you get very granular on setting up controls and comfort for your home, you can also let the device's built-in smarts learn your routines and habits and optimize your home's heating and cooling automatically. Plus, this thermostat has a wide range of compatibility, even in older homes; something you don't find with every smart thermostat model.

For gaming, movies, and getting things done, The BEAST are among the very best smart glasses you can buy today. They plug into laptops, gaming consoles, or your phone to provide a massive, virtual 174-inch display. Simply use the on-device buttons to control these glasses and customize the look of your virtual screen. This is an amazing way for dads to reclaim some gaming time because they're so easy to use.

These sunny Gs may look just like any other RayBans, but guess what? They're actually super smart! These sunglasses have built-in cameras that let you take videos or photos with just your voice or a simple tap of your finger. Perfect for those sightseeing trips on vacation! They also have Bluetooth audio, so you can listen to your music or take calls from your phone without anyone noticing. And if you're ever lost in an unfamiliar place, you can just say, "Hey Meta, what am I looking at?" and it'll give you all of the info you need.

If you would like for your dad to instantly become a kid again and be filled with pure joy, put the HOVERAir X1 PROMAX in his hands. This 8K drone is simple enough for a newbie to master, but is powerful enough for the pros! Perhaps the coolest feature on this is the Tracking function, which allows the drone to follow a subject (dad cycling, skiing, jogging, etc.), and thanks to its upgraded aerodynamics and advanced array of onboard sensors, your videos will look smooth as the drone flies through any conditions. There are a lot of drones out there, but this one is the Goldliocks that balances features, function, and price just right.

If Dad is into fitness (or you want to nudge him into that direction), jumping rope is an excellent warm-up or an entire workout, depending on the intensity he's going for. There are a few different brands of smart skipping rope out there, but we like the offering from Renpho for several reasons. The app experience is great; you can see your workout time, number of jumps, and calories burned on your smartphone. That same data is displayed on an LCD screen on the rope handle (this is rare). Plus, the app offers a variety of modes to keep workouts interesting. Aside from the smarts, all the essentials of a high-end fitness rope (good weight, good grip, good length) are all present. This is an excellent gift to use at home, throw in a gym bag, or take when traveling.

The library of PlayStation titles is vast, but the big one that's come out this year that every PlayStation fan is raving about is one called Saros. Made by the same team behind a beloved PS5 launch-era title (Returnal), you're an adventurer on a foreign planet trying to extract a valuable resource while looking for clues related to missing crews who explored the planet before you. It's a roguelite game, which means the gameplay is structured for you to do relatively short "runs" to try and beat each level, and if you're unsuccessful, you've likely gained a slight advantage for your next attempt.

This accessory turns any smartphone into a portable gaming powerhouse. ELO Gaming has designed a high-quality, high-compatibility mobile gaming controller. For gamers in the know, it features hall effect joysticks and triggers, meaning the dreaded "stick drift" will never be an issue. For gaming on the go, or even around the house, you can stream you favorite console games and enjoy your favorite mobile games with a new level of precision using this controller.

If your dad has a PlayStation 5 (or games on a phone, tablet, or computer), consider picking up an extra PlayStation 5 controller. There's always room to add one more controller for those times when the batteries of the main run low, for a couch co-op session, or just because the controller looks so darn cool!

If Dad loves video games but lacks time, the Razer Kishi Ultra is a great gift idea! This mobile gaming controller allows you to use your smartphone to stream your favourite games from cloud services such as Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Remote Play, Steam, and more. Even better, with a new update to the Razer Nexus app, you can remotely play any titles from your gaming PC. When it comes to mobile gaming, the Razer Kishi Ultra is my favorite controller for iPad Mini, for iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, and if Dad's an Android phone user, there are even more features he can tap into with this mobile controller.

If your dad has a mobile gaming device, like a Steam Deck, ROG Ally X, an MSI Claw, or something similar, do you know if he has a dock? At minimum, this is a cool way to keep the device charged up and at the ready whenever Dad needs it. At its best, it's the ultimate way to tap into the device's full functionality. By plugging in the gaming device to this dock, you can then connect a hardwired internet connection, external monitor or TV, a gaming mouse and keyboard, or whatever peripherals your dad uses to enjoy his games. Plus, the Razer model has the sweet RGB lighting, which can be customized to match the look of your dad's gaming area.

For dads who are spending a lot of time at their desk, it could be time to upgrade to a better monitor. There are a lot of options to choose from, but this one from Dell hits a sweet spot between size, features, and price. Whether it's surfing online, watching YouTube, or streaming shows, or anything in between, this is a nice display that won't break the bank for a gift idea. This monitor can be tilted to adjust for a better viewing angle, but its height can't be changed up and down, so keep that in mind.

Designed for gamers, but great for anyone sitting in front of a computer, the Razer Iskur V2 X is a slightly lower-cost version of Razer's most comfortable chairs. It samples the design from The Iskur V2 by offering excellent lumbar support, many points of adjustment (to dial in the perfect comfort), and has a 152-degree recline (just in case Dad wants to take a quick snooze between Zooms or while a new game update downloads). It comes in two colour options, plus there are special sleeves you can buy to change up the colour, even further offering Dad more variety (or setting yourself up for the next gift-giving occasion for Dad).

At some point, we collectively decided that a mouse was the default and preferred method for moving a cursor around a screen...but have you ever tried a trackball? Kensington makes the best looking and feeling trackball on the market, and it makes navigating an Excel document feel like the arcade game Arkanoid! In addition to being a very capable mouse replacement (and, arguably, much more fun), this specific model brings four buttons (your standard left and right mouse clicks, plus two additional ones you can assign to custom functions), and the contrast between the deep maroon and sparkly black chassis means this gadget will look super cool on any desk.

The Switch 2 release lined up just a few days ahead of Father's Day 2025. If Dad scored one of those at launch, he's likely going to be treating himself to a few games, but if that game library grows too large, he'll need extra storage. The previous SD cards from the original Switch won't work with the Switch 2. You need to use Micro SD Express cards with the new console (look for an EX on the card). PNY has proven its storage solutions are high quality and the company has released two different card sizes for Switch 2 fans!

A little boring, but very practical: this charger from Belkin. Who couldn't use an extra charger around the house? Well, this one is great because you can charge everything from a smartphone to a laptop with it! When it comes to chargers, the thing you need to pay attention to is how many "watts" the charger is. If you get too low of a wattage, your device will charge very slowly (or possibly not at all). This Belkin 3-in-1 allows you to charge a laptop, a tablet, and a phone all at once. Plus, the prongs fold in, which makes this easy to slide into a messenger bag for an everyday carry item.

If you haven't checked out LEGO in a couple of years, you really should. The company still makes wonderful sets for children, but the offering that's now clearly targeted to adults is absolutely amazing. Whatever Dad's interest (and your budget), you should be able to find a cool set inspired by his favorite video game, movie, or TV show. Any Super Nintendo fan would be partial to this Mario & Yoshi set, which recreates the iconic 16-bit look of the duo from Super Mario World. Plus, once the build is done, your dad will have a beautiful show piece for his desk or gaming nook, or to place upon the mantle for guests to admire.
