When it comes to Father’s Day shopping, there are a few misconceptions and cliches to avoid. “Don’t think that you have to get dad something ‘expensive,’” says Mel Peralta, VP of Global Concepts of former world-renowned sneaker and streetwear boutique, atmos. “Honestly, dads don’t want you to go broke on Father’s Day.” Instead, he adds, “We want to build a memory built around our kid’s POV of us.”
Peralta’s suggestions: “Books and experiences,” he shares. “I’m an impatient guy and my schedule is always nuts. The two things I love are an amazing book and spending some fun time with the kids.”
“Think of the moments you’ve shared with your dad that just absolutely made him (and you) happy and hunt for gifts in that direction,” he continues. And one last thing to avoid: “That damn tie!” Peralta says. “Dad is viewed as ‘the man who has everything,’ so worry less about a physical ‘gift’ and think more about creating a moment with him. That memory will last longer than any item you can get him.”
If your father is particularly picky, you’ll want to consult this list, which is full of Father’s Day gift ideas and experiences he may not have seen before. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite products to give to dad, from personalized accessories, to newly released tech toys, to big-ticket items that will make your dad the talk of the town (or at least the neighborhood). Oh, and there are no ties to be found on our list.
The best part: If you live away from home, these Father’s Day 2025 gifts can all be ordered online and shipped to him in time for his big day.

Weber Smoque Pellet Smoker
Image Credit: Weber If dad can spare the backyard space, he’ll want a Weber. The compact machine delivers a respectable 594 square inches of space for grilling and smoking — enough for eight whole chickens or six racks of ribs. A large pellet hopper means less replacing of pellets (though we recommend switching them out to try different flavors too).
The Weber Smoque is not only a powerful grill, it’s an intuitive one as well. It’s got a “Rapid React” PID that heats up the grill in 15 minutes or less, and recovers the temperature quickly after you open the lid so you don’t lose too much precious heat. The specialized vent system also circulates smoke around food for deeper flavors and delicious browning.
The Weber Connect digital LCD lets you monitor temperatures and cooking status from the convenience of your phone. You can even turn the heat up or down from your device (our suggestion: try out the “SmokeBoost” feature to really infuse your meats and vegetables with a rich, smokey flavor).
The best part of the Weber Smoque is how surprisingly foolproof it is to use. Whether you’re making brisket (about 12 hours) or smoking wings (about one hour), you really can’t mess it up. Everything on the grill cooks evenly and confidently, creating that much-desired “smoke ring” effect when you cut into your finished product.

GPS tracking and full-color maps make sure you’re never stranded outdoors (the maps even work offline when there’s no network available). Get up to 40 hours of battery life in GPS tracking mode or 21 days in daily use.
What we like: the sophisticated design belies a tough and adventure-ready watch that’s fully shockproof and waterproof. The watch can be submerged in up to 10 meters of water without damage, and the interactive touchscreen works even underwater.

JLab JBuds Talk USB Microphone

The Talk features four different ways of recording: Cardioid, Omni, Stereo, and Bidirectional (basically you can record by speaking directly into the mic or it can pick up sound through its sides). This makes it great both for individuals, or for a room full of musicians.
Adjust the gain and volume directly on the mic; a quick mute button comes in handy for Zoom calls. JLAB says the mic is so precise, it can even be used for ASMR.
We’ve used the mic for video calls and podcasting, and the audio consistently stays crisp and clean. An included tripod and swivel stand lets you easily direct the mic to whoever is speaking.
