It's easy to get tripped up when looking for gifts for Father's Day. Dad's so staunch with his "I don't need anything new" stance— but we're not buying it. He secretly likes cool stuff, though he'd never admit it, so start by contemplating what sweet new products your guy friends like—drinking, cool gadgets, hip clothes that don't look like they're trying too hard, some secret beauty products (shhh), and hanging out with their guy friends. Dad likes those things, too! So in honor of Pops, try a little harder to think of Dad as a cool dude (gross, I know), and we think you'll find shopping for Father's Day to be a lot more fun. Here are of the best gift ideas for dad that will make him a happy man. (If you're looking for last-minute Father's Day gifts, we've got those too.)
AeroGarden AeroGarden™ Harvest with Gourmet Herb Seed Pod Kit
A great choice for city-dwelling dads. Help encourage not only his green thumb but his kitchen prowess with this foolproof, space-friendly herb garden.
EdgeStar Craft Brew Single Tap Kegerator
This is a present for Dad, of course, but are you and your siblings going to say no to sharing a pint with your old man? It's Miller Time!
K.Haring Spoon
Perhaps Dad is lucky enough to live in a recreationally legal state, or maybe he's leaning on a bit of the flower to help with that "ole tricky football shoulder" (sure, Pops). Whatever the case, step up his smoke-break with this Keith Haring glass bowl. His golf buddies with think he's real cultured.
August Home August Smart Lock
Okay, so by now, you've got your father up to speed on how his smartphone works. Next, blow his mind with this keyless smart lock for the house. The August Smart Lock attaches easily to the existing deadbolt at his house, and once operational, there's no more worrying "Did we lock the door?" and no more "Where are my dang keys!"—in fact, no more keys at all! He can set his phone to auto-lock the door when he leaves, Bluetooth will let it know when he arrives, he can even grant access to you—all from his phone (if only he could find that).
ROKR Self-Assembly Puzzle Model-Pendulum Clock
Remember how your father was talking all that game about how good he was getting at puzzles? Well, challenge him to put his money where his mouth is with this 3D wood puzzle which, when fully actualized, is a working pendulum clock! If he can do it, it'll look super impressive. If he can't, it'll be fun to watch him lose his damn mind. Win/win?
iRobot iRobot Roomba

Combo Packs
Let's face it, your father couldn't find his head if wasn't attached. The old man isn't as on it as he used to be, bless him. So throw him a bone and slip him some of these Tiles. He can attach them to the things he's most often misplacing: His keys, the TV remote, his wallet, that $10,000 check he was meant to cut you...
Chain Collection Classic Chain Wrap Bracelet
Like I said, your father wants to be cool, he just doesn't know how. Help him. A single cool bracelet to pair with his watch will amp up his wrist party, which is probably looking bleak right now. Suddenly, he's not a like a regular dad, he's a cool dad!

1pt ONE PART Welcome Kit
Cocktails have changed. Dad might not know this. But a great drink that's all-natural and easy to make at home? Dad definitely gets that.

The set includes three infusion blends (peppery, savory and tangy), and comes with cool barware and blank labels. Once infused, Dad can take credit for creating his very own fancy small-batch hooch for when the neighbors come over.

Car Vent Mount
It's probably best for Dad to keep both hands on the wheel at all times. This Belkin car-vent mount for his smartphone might really help with that. It adjusts to fit any device (even in their case) and rotates 180 degrees for landscape mode to help him see the map better.

SOG SOG MacV Tool SM1001
With this TSA compliant 12-tools-in-one device that can live on his keychain, Dad will be ready for anything. Multiple wrenches, screwdrivers, a bottle opener, even a line cutter? This tool is every grown-up Boy Scout's dream.
Eno ENO SingleNest Hammock
Isn't it time Dad gets in a little R&R after all that he does? This ultra light hammock packs to the size of a softball in its own built-in stuff sack, so storing it is a cinch.

Rimowa Essential Light Luggage
Make your busy dad's overnight business trips feel a little more luxe with one of Rimowa's lightest models ever in a hard-to-miss blue hue.

LSA Cask Rectangular Whiskey Decanter
