32 Best Father's Day Gifts for 2025: Unique Gift Ideas for Every Dad

The JBL Go 4's durable design, coupled with surprisingly decent sound for its tiny size, make it one of CNET's picks for the best micro Bluetooth speaker.

Available in multiple color options, it has an IP67 water-resistance rating, meaning it can be dunked in water and is dust-proof. Battery life is rated at up to 7 hours.

What's cool about Anker's 622 magnetic battery is that it's a wireless battery that has an integrated magnetic flap that converts into a stand. You won't get fast wireless charging from this 5,000-mAh battery (it charges at up to 7.5 watts) but it's slim and easy to carry around. 

It charges via USB-C and if you use a USB-C to Lightning to charge your iPhone, it will charge at a faster rate of 12 watts. That's not as fast as what a 20-watt USB-C power adapter can deliver, but it's faster than 7.5 watts.

Note that Anker has updated this model to move the charging port to the side (from the bottom), so you can charge it while using it as a stand. Do not buy the old version that confusingly retains the same 622 model number. 

CNET culinary guru David Watsky tested five of the most popular monthly beer clubs, and Beer Drop landed on his list of the best beer delivery services -- he especially liked that Beer Drop lets you pick your own styles. This beer delivery service offers different plans, but with all of them, you can select the type of beer and specific beer styles that go into Dad's monthly craft beer subscription box shipments. Options include hoppy IPAs, fruit-forward beers, rich stouts, Belgian wheats and more. 

Monthly drops of microbrewery offerings start at $49 per month (plus $8 for shipping) for 10 beers. The subscription can be canceled at any time.

If you're on the hunt for a decent pair of budget sunglasses, Knockaround has various models, including those with polarized and mirrored coatings, for $35 and even slightly less (prices start as low as $28). They're not premium glasses obviously, but the lenses are decent and the glasses look more expensive than their low price would indicate. These designer sunglasses also seem pretty durable. Several different styles, colors and lens options are available. 

Gerber makes some nice multitools and its Armbar Drive is one of its most compact models, featuring eight tools: a fine-edge blade, scissors, awl, two-sided 1/4-inch bit driver, pry bar, bottle opener and hammer, all made of stainless steel (the blade is is held securely with a frame lock). I got the burnt orange model. but it also comes in blue and onyx.

Get the Trekkie in your life geared up in style with this USS Enterprise T-shirt from Heroes & Villains. With Season 3 of Strange New Worlds dropping this summer, this shirt is the perfect way for them to rep the latest entry into the Star Trek franchise.

Reef makes a variety of sandals, flips-flops and slides with prices ranging from $39 to $105. While the premium models feature leather uppers, some Reef sandals have a key feature that certain dads will appreciate: a built-in bottle opener. 

Ekster's leather minimalist wallet is sleek, sophisticated, and smartly designed. Credit cards and other plastic are fanned out with the push of a button for quick and easy access. They're protected by an aluminum casing that makes the wallet a bit stiff, so it's not the best for a back pocket, but it'll slide effortlessly into a jacket pocket or front pants pocket.

The Ekster wallet is available in 14 colors. You can also add a tracker card if Dad is the type to misplace his wallet every now and then.

The Soundcore Sport X20 has some nice upgrades over Anker's original Soundcore X10 earbuds. They include an improved design, adaptive noise canceling, superior battery life, slightly better sound and multipoint Bluetooth pairing. Like the previous model, these have an interesting design with rotating swiveling ear hooks. However, they don't swivel as much as the X10's ear hooks, which is a good thing (they stay on your ears very securely). We also liked that the charging case has a smaller footprint than a lot of buds with ear hooks. 

Fully waterproof and dust-proof with an IP68 rating, the X20 have slightly larger drivers than the X10 (11mm instead of 10mm). As long as you get a tight seal from the included ear tips (you get 5 sizes), they're able to deliver good sound with punchy bass and good detail. They lack a bit of clarity, particularly at higher volumes (there was a touch of distortion), and the noise canceling isn't as good as Sony or Bose's noise canceling. But the buds are affordable and a good value overall.

As for battery life, it's rated at up to 12 hours with noise canceling off and 7 hours with it on. Voice-calling performance is also decent thought not exceptionally good.

Playing games with your kids can be incredibly rewarding, and so can playing games with just you. The GoCube gives you the chance to do both. I've always wanted to know how to complete a Rubik's cube but could never get the hang of it. The GoCube connects to your phone or tablet and takes you through the steps of solving a cube using "algorithms." It's the first time I've felt I had a handle on manipulating a puzzle cube without it being completely random.

Learning a new skill as a dad, especially one that can impress your kids, is always worthwhile, and the app even lets you play battle games with your kids to make it more family orientated

Solo Stove makes some of the best smokeless fire pits, including Ranger 2.0 (small), Bonfire 2.0 (medium) and Yukon 2.0 (large) fire pits. But if you're looking for something a little smaller, it also makes two mini fire pits: the Mesa and Mesa XL. Both come in several color options, including traditional stainless steel. 

I started off using the smaller Mesa, but when the Mesa XL was subsequently released, I moved to the larger version of the mini fire pit (pictured on the left) because it looks and feels a little more substantial while remaining compact. (As you might expect, it does produce a bigger fire with a heat radius of 2 to 3 feet compared with the Mesa's 1 to 2 feet.) 

As its name implies, the Mesa XL is designed to sit on a tabletop and is quite portable. Naturally, you could also set it on the ground, but when you put it on a table, it's at a good height for comfortably roasting marshmallows. It has the same 360-degree Signature Airflow system as Solo Stove's larger fire pits.

Yes, you can buy cheaper French press coffee makers, but the Hydro Flask version is not only insulated, so it keeps your coffee hot longer, it's also made of stainless steel, so it's quite durable and won't break if you drop it, like a glass French press would.

For people who've never used a French press, you dump the coffee grounds into the container, pour in hot water, and then put the lid on with the plunger pulled up (there's a mesh filer attached to the plunger). Let things brew for several minutes and then push down the plunger. The grounds get compressed at the bottom as you squeeze out that extra flavor. You then pour as much coffee as you want into a cup or mug. What remains in the French press will stay hot for up to a couple of hours (and maybe even a bit longer), so you can go for a refill or share it with someone else.    

The Yoose Mini Electric Shaver isn't the most powerful electric shaver, but it's really small -- about the size of some wireless earbuds cases -- and it does work well enough and looks and feels more premium than we thought it would. That makes it a good on-the-go electric shaver and good travel companion (it didn't hurt to use, and the version that I got comes with a carry case, though that one is currently sold out). 

Available in multiple colors, it's IPX7 waterproof, so it can be used both wet and dry. Though it retails for $90, it often has instant discounts that drop its price closer to $60 or less.

There are more-affordable portable blenders, like the Blendjet 2 and the Hamilton Beach Single-Serve, but the Ninja Blast, which lists for $60, is a step up from those models. It looks and feels more premium, and though it isn't superpowerful, it's a good option for making smoothies and protein shakes on the go or at home when you don't want to deal with a full-size blender. Additionally, you can drink right from the blender, as it has a leak-proof sip lid. Available in multiple color options and easy to operate, it has an 18 ounce-capacity and recharges via USB-C. 

Amazon's latest Echo Show 5 has a redesigned speaker system for better clarity and bass. The Alexa-powered smart display also has an improved microphone array onboard, and comes in pale blue, charcoal black and white.

As we head into summer, what dad wouldn't appreciate a high-quality oscillating fan with multiple speed options and a small remote to control everything from afar? The Iris Woozoo SC15 oscillating fan comes in three colors -- blank, pink and blue (pictured) -- and is one of the nicer, more powerful "personal" table fans we've tried. 

The Tumbler knife sharpener is a good way to do a maintenance task that can otherwise be very dull. Despite what the TikTok videos might show, it takes way more than three or four swipes on either side. If you are patient, you can get a nice sharp edge on the dullest of knives. The magnet holds the knife at the perfect angle while you sharpen it so you know each knife is going to cut the way it should.

For a gift, it's probably best to buy the set with the stand and strop, but if you are trying to keep the price down, the magnet and roller are really all you need to make this a great Father's Day gift.

Dad may be a little embarrassed if you get him this gift but he'll most likely appreciate it. Panasonic says its ER-GK80-S has a unique V-shaped head that's "built to go everywhere" -- and with precision. It comes with two attachments, has almost two hours of battery life and can be used wet or dry. A travel case is included.

Duer makes some of the best -- and most comfortable jeans and pants -- we've encountered. They're designed for both durability and stretchability and come in a variety of styles, with options for both slimmer and not-so-slim dads. Prices range from $79 to $149 for more weather-resistant models. The company also sells other garments, including shirts and shorts but it's more known for its "stretch" pants. The Performance Denim Slim is pictured here.

First released in 2020, the 1.5-pound Theragun Mini massager is designed to be portable, easily fitting in a backpack or purse. While it doesn't have quite the power of one of Theragun's full-size devices, it's surprisingly powerful considering how small it is. We've tried larger massage guns in this price range, and it's just as powerful but half the size. The rechargeable battery is rated to last 2.5 hours, and a neoprene protective case is included.

Ember makes 10-ounce and 14-ounce versions of its temperature-controlled smart mug, which keeps your hot drink of choice hot while you sip it over a longer drinking session. While it won't keep coffee or tea warm for hours, the idea is that you can select your ideal temp via the companion Ember app for iOS or Android and keep your drink at a high temperature for the 30 minutes or so it takes to casually finish it.

A good insulated mug with a top on it will also keep your beverage hot (and they are cheaper), but this Ember mug allows you to drink a cup of joe like you normally would and not sip it through a small hole in the top.

A projector is one of the best gifts I've ever received and if Pops loves firing up a live concert video or action flick, there's no better way to make 'em pop than with a projector. This model is on our list of the best portable projectors, and it won a CNET Editors' Award. It's compact and portable so Dad can bring it on vacation or easily set it up outside for movie night.

The Sony ULT Field 7 is the successor to Sony's SRS-SG500 Bluetooth boom box. This newer model not only sounds better but offers an an improved design with integrated handles on each side of the speaker, LED lighting and a new karaoke function (microphone not included). You can stand the speaker up vertically or lay it down horizontally. The sound does change a bit with the speaker's orientation, but the overall clarity and treble performance has improved, and we thought the bass had better definition.

Weighing in at a hefty 13.9 pounds (6.3 kilograms), the speaker does pack a punch, especially when you engage the ULT button, which has two low-frequency settings (there's also a seven-band EQ) that both amp up the sound -- and the bass in particular -- making the speaker sound fuller (I always had the ULT button engaged). Battery life is rated at up to 30 hours at moderate volume levels, and the speaker is IP67 waterproof, dust-proof and rust-proof. A charge-out port on back allows you to charge external devices like your smartphone.
