Back when I was a kid, the choices for Father’s Day gifts were pretty much limited to ties, socks, and homemade ashtrays (yes, I’m that old). While I’m sure that my dad appreciated the lumpy clay ashtrays I gave him year after year—despite the fact that he never smoked—I’m almost positive that he would have far preferred receiving a gift that he actually wanted.

These days there are lots of choices for great gifts for all different kinds of dads. We’ve put together a list of gift ideas that are so good you can rest assured that he’s really going to enjoy unwrapping what your “kids” buy him.

1. For the dad who likes a cold one: A Craft Beer Club subscription

If Dad loves nothing better than relaxing with a great brew, he’ll be thrilled to receive monthly shipments of unique craft beers delivered right to his door. Each shipment includes three bottles of four different craft beers—12 bottles total—and the company does its best to find out-of-the-ordinary brewers producing exceptional beers.

2. For the dad who is tired: A great coffee maker

My husband has always been a coffee drinker, but since having kids his caffeine consumption has definitely gone up—significantly. If the dad in your life loves a great cup of java, splurge on our favorite coffeemaker, the Technivorm Moccamaster. It’s handmade in the Netherlands and brews the perfect cup of joe, the best gift for a very tired father.

Dads with a sense of humor will get a kick out of Face Socks. Have his face custom-printed on a pair of bright and colorful socks, or—better yet—have the kids’ faces printed on the “World’s Best Dad” pair. These have been one of the most requested gifts from the dads in my parenting group, so while it may seem silly, they’re universally loved.
