The 50 Best Gifts for Every Type of Dad Out There
He deserves something special.
Pops deserves a great gift. He’s been your on-call encyclopedia for years. What’s the best whiskey for sipping? Let me call Dad. How do I pack for a big trip? Let me call Dad. How the hell do I get this AC unit to work? Call him! So, come the holidays—Father’s Day, his birthday, an anniversary, or any gift-worthy occasion—you gotta find a unique present for the old man. He needs something that’ll match his wit, something that’ll match his impeccable style—and, ideally, something that’s not another tie. He is not the Duke of Windsor.
Here at Esquire, we know a thing or two about dads. We know what to gift any man, actually. We know what to look for: a new luxe staple like shearling slippers or a sleek jacket to add to his closet; a fail-safe tech upgrade he’ll actually appreciate; an affordable (but still extraordinary) everyday watch; a last-minute subscription he can’t turn down—any of it. In fact, we’ve got this year’s 50 best gifts for Dad, even if he claims he doesn’t need anything. Here’s our collection of foolproof ideas that’ll prove you’re the best kid out of the bunch.

If he loves his Scotch, this limited-edition bottle from the Glenlivet will surely impress him.
Dyson Zone Headphones
So, he loves his Dyson vacuum, and he’s already got a Dyson air purifier to match. Then get him the Dyson headphones. They might look a little goofy (they’re kind of giving us Bane vibes), but they’ll purify the air while he bumps tunes.
