My husband appreciates a good craft beer, just like he appreciates an easy way to open the bottle—and to remember which glass was his! This set of personalized pint glasses and speed opener is an awesome way to make things easy—and make things personal.

Whether he’s king of the tailgate party or a camper extraordinaire, he’ll be pleased as punch to show off this personalized portable grill.

The gold standard for day drinking and coffee transporting, Yeti’s line of insulated drinkware can all be personalized with monograms, names and even custom logos. Consider his favorite drink (beer? coffee? a stiff Manhattan?) and favorite color and gift him something he’s guaranteed to reach for on the daily. Prices start at $20.

Want to really make dad feel like a hero? Create one of these awesome personalized frames from Etsy, which feature LEGO super hero figurines. One of the extra sweet things about this gift is that it lets you call out the specific personality traits that make the dad in your life so uniquely lovable.

This set of personalized grilling tools makes Dad’s title as grill master of the family official. Plus, I love that every time he looks down to flip a burger in the backyard, he’ll see that his hard work making meals for everyone is appreciated.

I feel lucky—and genuinely grateful—that my husband is the cook in our house. Not only does that shorten my daily to-do list, but also, I love that he teaches our boys to cook, as well. This parent-child apron set is absolutely perfect for the dad who loves to grill or cook with his kiddos.

The video montage trend peaked during the pandemic as a way for people to connect virtually, but it’s continued to be a really touching way for loved ones—especially those who live far away—to reach out. With Tribute, you can collect group video messages, email reminders to friends and family, and create montages. Sound like too much hassle? Tribute even has a concierge package, in which they handle the whole process for you. Dad will really feel the love as he opens and enjoys each message on his day. After all, sometimes all a person really wants is to hear the voices and see the faces of the ones they love most.

Nothing says “I love dad” quite like an action figure of his own kid that well, literally says “I love dad.” Turn his pride and and joy into a 3D avatar-like figurine that’s certain to become an instant conversation piece. Just download their free app to scan your face, choose from a variety of customizations and you’ve created a one-of-a-kind gift!

What I love about these watches is that they’re sophisticated, but not “stuffy” looking (my husband refuses to wear anything that looks “stuffy”). Seriously, they look equally great with jeans or a suit. The ability to engrave a message on the back makes it personal and meaningful on a whole other level.

I started thinking of all the places my dad and husband would use this duffle bag —travel, gym, golf, etc.—and then I realized that I can’t really think of anywhere they wouldn’t use it. It’s an L.L. Bean classic that’s rugged and versatile and the monogramming will show this was truly a gift specifically for him. And, any mom who’s had to label a million things for kids’ school or camp knows it always helps to have items clearly labeled with names!

Before buying a gift, I usually find myself questioning how often the recipient will really use it. Well, there’s no concern about that with this personalized phone charger ! Dad will use it—and enjoy the personalized message from you—every single day.

Does the dad in your life have a favorite spot at the table? Engrave this brass plate from Things Remembered with “Dad’s Spot” and attach it to his chair, so that he—and everyone else—knows he’s got a meaningful place in your home.

You can create a personalized video game for Dad, completely customized with his favorite people, places, and even pets! If that’s not a way to “level up” your Father’s Day gift giving, I don’t know what is. Prices start at $100.

Make the dad in your family cry this Father’s Day—in a good way! What’s extra special about this personalized book is that it features both daddy and child, making them both see just how loved they are. Get the tissues ready!

Some gifts really say, “See? I get you,” and these portraits by Art of Yellow do exactly that. With one of these, you can turn dad into a cartoon character for a totally one-of-a-kind gift that’s also a forever conversation piece.

I love it when the thing that makes a gift special is also what makes it more practical. That’s why I’m obsessed with these monogrammed golf balls —not only do they let golf-loving dads know they were really thought of, they also help them identify which balls are theirs in the fairway. Prices start at $15.95

This photo engraved wallet is a beautiful way to infuse an item that Dad looks at every day with reminders of the ones he loves most. Bonus perk: If he loses his wallet somewhere, it’s that much easier for the wallet to find its way back to the rightful owner.
