Father’s Day Gifts That Aren’t Ties


By Laura Leiva
  • Father's Day
  • Holiday

Whether he’s into tech, food, or just relaxing, there’s a gift out there that goes beyond the expected. Here are five unique ideas to consider.

  • Gourmet Food Subscriptions
    Monthly deliveries from BBQ boxes to coffee clubs keep the celebration going all year. Choose a subscription that matches his favorite snacks or hobbies.

  • Smart Gadgets & Tools
    Think wireless chargers, Bluetooth speakers, or a high-tech meat thermometer. These gadgets are equal parts fun and functional.

  • Outdoor Grilling Gear
    Upgrade his grilling game with a new set of tools, a smoker box, or personalized BBQ accessories. It’s a gift that adds flavor—literally—to his summer.

  • Comfy Loungewear or Robes
    Give Dad permission to kick back with ultra-soft joggers, a cozy robe, or slippers. It’s a stylish way to say, “You deserve to relax.”

  • Books & Hobby Kits
    A great read or DIY project kit encourages downtime and discovery. Whether he’s into woodworking or world history, there’s a pick that feels personal.

These creative gifts will make Dad feel seen, appreciated, and celebrated (no tie required).
