When it comes to shopping for gifts for a father figure in your life, it can be easy to quickly draw a blank. What kind of present can you give that really shows you thought about them and care? That question alone adds a huge amount of pressure to finding the perfect item. Thankfully, we not only put together a list of the best items you can shop now, but we also asked a few stepdads what they would enjoy receiving for Father’s Day.
“I’d really love some new golf balls,” said Richard Ralph. While Tom Reda said, “Honestly, any gift is greatly appreciated and is thoughtful in my opinion. Cards, coffee, or gift cards as it’s the thought that counts.” From cool new golf gifts to savvy caffeine accessories for coffee lovers, these gifts will do just that— show them you truly care and put the thought into them.
If your stepdad enjoys heading to the golf course or is just starting to get into the sport, he’ll enjoy a new accessories set filled with all of the essentials while simultaneously keeping everything organized.
The case comes filled with golf balls, a rangefinder, golf tees, a brush, a multifunctional divot knife, a scorer, and a golf ball clamp. It’ll easily attach to a caddy too, making it even easier to transport to the field.
It also makes for a great for the whole family if they equally love the sport. Reviewers who are avid golfers say that they always reach for their case when they head out for a golf trip.
These discrete, yet stylish lanterns are disguised as bluetooth speakers. Designed to be waterproof, they’ll last through a rainstorm, snow, dust, and spills.
Each speaker can also last up to 14 hours, so they won’t die in the middle of a party.
They come in a two-pack, but multiple could be purchased to place in multiple outdoor parts of the home. Whether it’s the front porch in the backyard pool area, they make for a special outdoor decoration. You can even bring them on camping trips to light up the night and provide entertainment.
Help your stepdad’s next barbecue go by more smoothly with this all-in-one grilling gift. This stainless steel utensil will have him flipping and clipping everything on the grill without fumbling with other tools. It has an extra-long, heat-resistant handle, a locking tab, and even a built-in bottle opener for him to enjoy some brews as he cooks for the family.
For the guy who can’t keep track of everything, the Apple Airtag makes the perfect gift! This tiny, trendy tracker can attach to just about anything.
“My favorite feature about AirTags is that they don’t require you to download a third-party app, create an account, and remember yet another password in order to work,” wrote our tech editor, Stefan Vazharov. “The Find My app is baked right into iOS and iPadOS, eliminating this tedious task.”
Yeti Rambler Travel Mug
When your stepdad doesn’t have time to stop for coffee before work, this insulated travel mug from Yeti will keep his homemade cup of joe hot or cold until the very last sip. Its cup holder-compatible base, leak-resistant lid, and welded handle make it the perfect companion to help him get his daily caffeine fix.
Senior Editor Summer Cartwright uses this exact model for her morning commutes, and says it keeps beverages hot “for hours, without much chance of spills or drips.”
This is the best stepdad gift for the guy who’s a little cheesy, but your stepdad deserves to know how much you love him and what he means to you — every time he takes a sip. This engraved glass thanks him for being the man you needed him to be, even though he didn’t have to take on that role.
Solo Stove Mesa Tabletop Fire Pit with Stand
From roasting marshmallows to late-night fireside chats, this Solo Stove fire pit will bring everyone closer together whether they’re on a beach, in the backyard, or just enjoying the great outdoors.
Our former senior electronics editor, Brandon Carte, recommends it for its portability, low maintenance, and air circulation for a near-smokeless, healthy flame.
“It’s the perfect way to catch up with friends — whether you’re smashing some s’mores or are just soaking in the great outdoors (or even your backyard) together,” he wrote.

Kiehl’s Get Up and Groom Gift Set
If your stepdad loves having his own facial grooming routine, this complete kit will be his new favorite go-to. It has everything he’ll need to keep his skin soft and smooth as well as ingredients to help wake him up in the morning.
The kit includes a facial wash, shave cream, a soothing cream, and an energizing moisturizer. Both the face wash and moisturizer include caffeine to invigorate the skin. Other ingredients included are menthol and Vitamin C to take away the appearance of dull, tired skin. The size of each bottle is 2.5 ounces, perfect for when he’s traveling for work or play. He’ll be feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day after each use.

Bigasuo Frameo 10.1-Inch Wi-Fi Digital Picture Frame
If he loves capturing all of life’s precious moments, then this gift is for him. Put all of your happy memories on display for him to see and cherish with a smart touch photo frame.
This digital frame works with Wi-Fi, and you can upload photos and videos accompanied with its compatible free app that can be downloaded to his phone. One thing to note is if photos are scattered across multiple family member phones, each can upload their own without having to rely on one person to load them all onto the frame.
The frame can hold up to 32GB worth of memory and any of the photos or videos can be switched out at any time. It also auto-rotates, so it can display vertically or horizontally. You also have the option to mount it on the wall or have it sitting atop his desk.
If your stepdad likes to be on the move, then he’d enjoy a pour over set guaranteed to keep his hot beverages nice and warm. Plus, if you happen to be along for the ride, you’ll be able to enjoy it too.
The set is available in two colors and includes a pour-over filter, mug, and travel lid. It’s the perfect combo that can be taken on trips such as camping or to the office.
All he has to do is add his favorite coffee grounds or tea to the filter, slowly pour hot water over it, and voila! The drink is instantly made inside a travel-safe mug and will be kept hot long after it’s initially made.
Not only is this product made to be durable, but it also has a lifetime warranty in the event something happens to it down the line. It’s also dishwasher safe, so it can be easily cleaned and ready for the next day.
Upgrade his style with the look of an elevated trouser that feels more like a casual weekend pant. Traditional, yet modern, they’ll easily go with the rest of his wardrobe without the need to buy anything additional.
Made with cotton and plenty of stretch, he’ll easily be trading in the rest of his pants to wear this comfortable pick. Plus, there’s six colors available to mix around as he goes through the seasons.
What makes these pants so unique is that they have light-reflecting details when the cuffs are flipped up, so he can stay safe if he’s commuting to work early on a bike or taking an evening stroll with the dog through the park.
There’s also discreet side-seam pockets to zip up your valuables while walking— meaning no pickpocketing here!
If he’s a coffee-lover, but never finishes his hot brew before it runs cold, then this gift will keep his beverage warm for as long as needed.
The mug warmer is chargeable. Once completed, you can turn it on, select your desired temperature, and then the mug will heat up to keep the liquid at that exact same setting. It also comes with a lid, which is great for travel purposes. Plus, it’s all done with the touch of a button for super easy use.
It’s great to take to the office, on work trips, on weekend sports games, or even on day trips in the car.
One thing to note is that the mug can be heavier when compared to others due to the heating and charging components.
Help your stepdad cool off with a beverage made with golf ball-shaped ice cubes — because why not? The unique spheres make the perfect ice for a glass of whiskey, cocktails, sodas, or even regular water. The shape of the sphere will melt slowly too, so it won’t water down the drink.
It also makes a great accessory for drinks at a party. To make the ice even more special, you can add fruits or herbs prior to freezing the water for more colorful elements peaking through.
Made with silicon, the molds are easy to fill and take apart when the water freezes. To wash them, you can pop the molds into the dishwasher.
This is the best gift for a stepdad who loves to wear his title loud, proud, and stylishly. This baseball cap is perfect for wearing on the go, at the beach, to the park, or at a sporting event. It’s available in a tan color too, so it will pair well with various personal styles.
If you’d rather gift the hat with a different personalization, you have the option to change the text on the patch. It also has an adjustable snapback to fit a range of sizes. The mesh back makes it breathable for warmer weather.
If they’re a tea lover, chances are they already have a ton of different tea gadgets for their afternoon cup. This afternoon tea kettle, however, will be a quality addition they’ll be sure to reach for over and over again.
Designed to quickly heat and hold its temperature, it’s great for when you’re rushing around in the morning. In fact, you can make a hot cup of tea in under five minutes, and it can hold its heat for up to two hours. The temperatures are also adjustable.
Whether he’s on the move a lot for work or enjoys taking weekend getaways with the kids, a refresh in travel equipment is always a good idea. Small, yet mighty, this backpack can fit more than what you might initially think. It has a divider on the inside flap as well as a small pocket in front of the outside closure.
The backpack would work well storing electronics like a laptop or e-reader, and it can comfortably hold a change of clothes and toiletries.
It’s also available in 19 different shades, so you have several options that could match with his personal style.
Jisulife Portable Neck Fan
From going to the kids’ Spring soccer games to venturing out on a tropical family vacation, the weather can get a little uncomfortably sticky at times. This portable neck fan does wonders for keeping you cool without you having to miss out on any special moments (like a child’s winning goal of the game).
Plus, if he’s heading to the gym for a workout, the device works as a great accessory to cool him down after his session.
It’s battery-powered, rechargeable, and has three different types of air speeds. It can also last up to 16 hours, so you don’t have to worry about it dying on you halfway through the day either. Best of all, the fans aren’t built with wings, so it’s perfectly safe to use around children and won’t get caught in any hair.
The fan is available in four different shades.
If he finds himself stuck sitting at his desk all day, this cool gift will instantly have him standing and more active as he’s typing out emails or hosting online meetings.
The balance board is made to engage the entire body as you stand and work away, but it won’t be so overpowering that you lose focus on the work in front of you.
Its durability won’t have anyone slipping, and there’s a built-in bumper to prevent it from scratching the floors.
The board also appears discreet, so it could even be taken into the office without providing any distractions.
This is the best gift for stepdads who love living a healthy lifestyle, the Oura ring would be a helpful, stylish tool that can be used every day.
When wearing the ring, it’s capable of counting steps, detecting illness through body temperature, tracks sleep, and monitors stress levels. It only needs to be charged once per week too, so you don’t have to worry about it missing any vital days of tracking activity.
Celebrities like Prince Harry, Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow have also been seen wearing the tech gadget. Our own editor, Cat Bowen, and her husband wear these all the time and are obsessed.
The ring is available in two different styles and up to six different finishes— silver, black, stealth, brushed titanium, gold, and rose gold.
One thing to note is that there is a monthly subscription that can be purchased separately.
If you’re not quite sure what you get him, a curated box from Bespoke Post could be the perfect stepdad gift. Based on a quiz, he’ll get a box that caters to his interests, and he’ll even have the option to continue his monthly subscription for only $45 a month after you gift it.
