I don’t like to generalize, but finding Father’s Day gifts fitting for the paternal figures in our lives is notoriously hard. I have years of anxious shopping trips to back that theory up. I’ve put in my time wandering the aisles of a golf pro shop or furiously browsing that one small boutique corner aimed at men. (You know the spot: There’s almost always a book on whiskey and a Pendleton blanket there.) To help you avoid the pain of a gifting swing and miss, we got inside the minds of the men in our lives to put together the definitive Father’s Day gift guide for 2025.

Because you want to get him something special—and not just another monogrammed wallet, he has 10—we ran through all the different fathers and father figures we have in our lives. There are the sports obsessives, the culinary masters, the outdoor-inclined, and countless more archetypes. And while there’s no dad like your own, we guarantee: this Father’s Day gift guide has something he’ll love. Get ready to become an expert gift giver.
