Best personalized gifts

A beautiful and personalized gift that anyone will appreciate. This toiletry bag is made from 100% genuine full-grain cowhide and has a smooth zipper to keep everything in one place. Choose from three colors and three sizes.

A retro gift personalized just for him. This custom viewfinder is fitted with personal photos and will bring back lots of memories, not just of his family and friends, but of when he was a kid too. It even says "Happy Father’s Day" on the front.

Best tech gifts

Give the gift of memories with this digital picture frame. Use a USB flash drive or SD card to upload images to the frame, and set the frame to slideshow mode — that’s it. You can put it on a counter or shelf or mount it to a wall, depending on the home’s aesthetic.

He can explore an expanding virtual reality universe with over 500 titles that range from gaming to fitness and entertainment. You can join friends for live events and enjoy immersive graphics, and the easy-to-use controllers mean he’ll be exploring the world of VR in no time. 

It’s tech but with a flash of style. Beats earbuds are some of the best on the market, and this pair has two modes: Active Noise Cancelling and Transparency. The Bluetooth capabilities include extended range and fewer dropouts, the earbuds are sweat- and water-resistant and the built-in microphone allows the user to take calls with ease.

This solar-powered GPS watch is a great gift for an outdoorsman who wants to get away from it all. There’s a built-in LED light for hiking after dark, real-time stamina-tracking capabilities and health and wellness monitoring. The battery can go for up to 28 days indoors or 37 days outdoors in smartwatch mode and 89 hours indoors or 122 hours outdoors in GPS mode.

This Xbox starter bundle comes with hundreds of games like Starfield and Forza Motorsport, a three-month Xbox Game Pass ultimate membership and a hand controller. It's designed with fast load times and gameplay of up to 120 frames per second.

Does he love to take notes, journal or make to-do lists? This smart notebook and smart pen from Moleskin is designed with N-Code tech, so when he writes in the book, it’ll automatically be stored in the accompanying app. He can share his notes or drawings in PDF form, or export directly to Microsoft Word or Excel spreadsheets.

Best sports and fitness gifts

This complete set of golf clubs is ideal for someone who wants to get back on the course or wants to pick up the sport. He’ll get a driver, a 3 wood, a 4 & 5 Hybrid, 6 to 9 Iron, PW & SW, a putter and a light stand bag that’s got zippered pockets, a rain hood and a backpack strap system. 

If he isn’t already obsessed with pickleball, now’s the perfect time to introduce him to one of the fast-growing games in the country. This set of two or four USA Pickleball-approved paddles also includes four balls and a carry bag. All that’s left is to find a court and start playing.

He wants to train but can’t seem to make it to the gym. This compact weight set is perfect for home workouts, goes from 5 pounds to 50 pounds, and comes with Twist-Lock technology that makes adjusting the weight easy.

Sore muscles begone! This heat and massage wrap is designed with HyperHeat technology for consistent warmth and heats six times faster than a standard heating pad. There are also three separate massage modes so it can be customized to perfectly target soreness in the shoulder.

Another good gift for an active dad figure (or anyone really), this shoulder massager has heating features, can be used on other areas of the body, like the back and thighs, and has eight massage nodes so the user can target deep muscle soreness.

The Hydragun is the top of the line when it comes to handheld massage tools. It has been used by professional athletes, trainers and others looking for muscle relief. It’s the quietest massage gun on the market and worth every penny.

Best gifts for book lovers

That outdoor pizza oven is going to need a new pizza pan and this new one from Le Creuset will last for years, if not decades. It’s also perfect for cooking over an open flame and can be used for baking, roasting, griddling and searing. The two handles make it easy to pick up off a fire and the low sides will allow a grill hood to close.
