Happy Fathers Day
The Father’s Day Gift Guide That Skips the Tie Aisle
He said don’t get him anything. He didn’t mean it. Or — sure, he meant it, but he’d still rather a new impact driver than another mug. This year, get him something he’ll actually keep on the workbench, in the garage, or next to the grill.
Up to 45% off the picks below through Sunday at midnight. Free shipping over $50. Order by Wednesday to clear delivery before the weekend.
What’s actually on sale
Six categories, all marked down. Tap into any of them on the site for the full list — these are the picks we’d hand to a friend who asked “what should I get my dad?”
1. The workbench he never upgrades
The drill he’s had since you were in high school still works, sure. But cordless brushless motors run cooler, the batteries actually hold a charge after 3 years, and the new compact drivers fit places his old one never could.
Look at: cordless drill/driver combos, impact drivers, magnetic bit holders, the tool bag that doesn’t disintegrate in the rain. Up to 40% off.
2. Grill upgrades that earn their counter space
A wireless meat thermometer is the kind of gift dads pretend they don’t need, then use every weekend for the rest of their lives. Same goes for a real chimney starter, a decent set of long-handled tongs, and a grill brush that doesn’t leave bristles in the food.
Look at: Bluetooth meat thermometers, cast-iron grates, chimney starters, smoker boxes for gas grills. Up to 45% off.
3. Garage organization (the gift he won’t admit he wants)
Pegboards, magnetic strips for wrenches, those clear stackable bins for screws and washers, a proper rolling tool chest. Nothing flashy — just the stuff that turns “where did I put that 10mm” into a five-second answer.
Look at: modular wall systems, label makers, parts organizers. Up to 35% off.
4. Outdoor & lawn
If “yard work” is his Saturday, the right gear makes it the good kind of Saturday. Cordless mowers, leaf blowers that don’t sound like a jet engine at 7am, expandable hoses that actually retract.
Look at: battery-powered yard tools, ergonomic shovels, fire pits, hammocks. Up to 40% off.
5. Tech for the dad who’s “not a tech person”
The wireless headphones he can throw in his work bag. A robust portable charger. A dash cam he’ll never have to think about until the day he needs the footage. Smart bulbs that don’t require him to set up an app to turn on the lamp.
Look at: noise-cancelling headphones, dash cams, smart plugs, portable jump-starters. Up to 35% off.
6. The bottle, the glass, the snack
Sometimes the gift is “Saturday afternoon, beer cold, snack within reach.” A vacuum-insulated growler keeps a porter cold for hours. A cast-iron pretzel pan exists, and it’s exactly what you think it is. Whiskey stones, the bourbon-aged hot sauce flight.
Look at: insulated drinkware, snack & sauce gift sets, beer-making kits. Up to 30% off.
How to pick (a 30-second guide)
A few questions to narrow it down fast:
- Does he build / fix things? → Tools section. If he has a name brand he’s loyal to (DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Ryobi) — stay in that battery family. A new bare tool that takes his existing batteries is the safest hit.
- Does he cook outside? → Grill upgrades. A wireless thermometer is the can’t-miss starter; everything else builds on it.
- Does he have a garage / shed / workshop? → Organization. Pegboard kits and clear bins are the “didn’t know I needed it, now use it every day” gifts.
- Does he commute / drive a lot? → Dash cam, jump starter, decent headphones.
- Is he hard to shop for? → A gift card and a handwritten note, plus the small extra of “I made you these” — cookies, sauce, a playlist. The card lets him pick the thing; the extra means it isn’t just an envelope.
