The Most Ingenious Last-Minute Father’s Day Gift Ideas, According to Editors

Whether he travels for work or just likes to skip the hassle of airport parking, a credit toward a luxe car service means he’ll be rolling up in serious style. It’s a virtual gift that’s both practical and indulgent—two things dads appreciate more than they let on.

An Apple Watch is the ultimate gift for the dad who loves a little tech with his morning walk. It tracks steps, heart rate, sleep—you name it. Bonus: If you buy through a major retailer like Target or Best Buy, you can pick it up in-store just in time.

Sometimes the best gifts are the ones that cost almost nothing—like a framed scorecard from his best round of golf, old concert tickets, or a snapshot from your favorite father-daughter/son moment. Order a same-day frame from places like Target or CVS and let the memory do the heavy lifting.

Yes, this hat has a built-in fan that’s powered by the sun. Yes, your dad will geek out. Whether he’s fishing, gardening, or just posted up at a BBQ, he’ll love how functional (and delightfully dorky) this pick is. Amazon Prime shipping = saved again.

If your dad’s skincare routine is basically non-existent, a chic set is the perfect nudge. This one is simple, clean, and comes in TSA-friendly sizes so he can toss it in a dopp kit and go.

Upgrade his morning shave with a kit that includes luxe shaving cream, a sleek razor, and maybe even a badger-bristle brush. It’s one of those things he’d never buy for himself—but will use every day once he has it. Check your local Nordstrom or barber shop for quick pickup options.

Protect his sleep and his eyes with a pair of sleek, lightweight blue light glasses. They’ll help reduce eye strain while he’s doomscrolling, watching sports, or reading the news on his iPad. You can find plenty of stylish options under $50 with fast shipping.

If your dad is the kind of guy who says, “Don’t touch the thermostat,” this gift is both hilarious and genuinely helpful. This Nest sensor helps regulate temperatures room-by-room so he can finally keep the temperature in check (literally).

From cooking with Gordon Ramsay to business tips from Bob Iger, a MasterClass subscription gives your dad access to world-class teachers, on demand. It’s digital, instant, and 50 percent off right now.

This cult-favorite insulated mug keeps drinks hot (or cold) for hours—and comes in a bunch of sleek colors. Grab it with same-day pickup from REI, Dick’s Sporting Goods, or even Amazon for a gift that’s practical and premium.

This compact massage gun offers big relief in a portable size. Great for gym lovers, weekend warriors, or the dad who just needs to loosen up after mowing the lawn. Grab it at Walmart, Best Buy, or Target with same-day pickup.

If your dad's a notoriously bad sleeper (or just needs help winding down), a cooling weighted blanket is the kind of gift he’ll never want to give up. While visting me, my dad used one of these while napping and "had the best nap ever."
