Best Father’s Day Gifts for 2022

Father’s Day is all about celebrating your dear old dad and showing you appreciate all that they do. This goes for all the great men and paternal figures in your life – father, grandfather, stepfather - whoever they may be. So when it’s time to show you care, do it with a gift you know they’ll love.

Not sure what to get them? Don’t worry. Aside from giving your old man a big hug, we’ve put together some inspiration for the best Father’s Day gifts for 2022.

1. Sunglasses

There are styles of sunglasses to suit every type of dad – from the outdoorsy dad, the cabriolet cruiser, to the dad who simply loves a day at the beach. A new pair of sunglasses make a great gift on any budget. Explore sunglasses from Target, Sunglass Hut, and Bloomingdales, and find the perfect pair for your ‘Pops.

2. A good book

Maybe your dad is a sci-fi nut, a history buff, or enjoys a good crime thriller. Whatever fiction or non-fiction your dad is into, a good read is a gift that keeps on giving. Let your dad unwind, relax or learn something new with a book from Barnes & Noble.

3. Wireless speakers

Whether your dad likes to chill out to jazz, soul-rock, or pop music – a set of wireless speakers can set you up for hours of entertainment. Link them to music streaming apps or even hook them up with a Bluetooth record player. Browse wireless speakers from eBay, Macy’s, or Apple.

4. A personalized wallet

Nothing says you care more than a personalized gift. If your dad is carrying around a tired old wallet, a new personalized wallet could be just the trick. Check out eBay to see designs from a variety of sellers and find some of the best personalized Father’s Day gifts.

5. A polo shirt

You can’t go wrong with a smart new polo shirt. Polo shirts are a wardrobe staple, perfect for the next family dinner out, a trip to the movie theatre, or a barbeque in the neighborhood. Explore American Eagle, Gap, and JC Penney’s to find perfect polo shirt choices for your dad.

6. Theatre tickets

Treat your dad to a night at the movies. Most of us love a trip to the theatre to catch up on the latest releases. Take your dad to see his favorite movie, or why not give him a night off with mom or one of his pals? Check out our selections at AMC Theatres, Emagine Theatres, ArcLight Cinemas, Marcus Theatres, or Regal.

7. New golf clubs

If your dad likes to hit the golf course, then kitting him out with some new clubs would be a thoughtful Father’s Day gift. We offer Kroger gift cards from various sporting outlets so you can put something towards getting your dad some new golfing gear with eBay, Go Play Golf, or Academy Sports & Outdoors.

8. A headlamp

For tinkerers, adventurers, night fishermen, and cyclists – there are so many practical uses for a headlamp, both outdoors and around the house. A headlamp can help your dad see better in low light conditions, keeping him safe in the process. Head to Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) and get your dad a handy Father’s Day gift.

9. A cooler

Let your dad be the man of the hour at the local barbeque or annual fishing trip with his very own cooler. Keep beverages ice cold and let the good times roll, whether he’s simply chilling in the garden or heading camping. Explore gift cards at homeware stores like Lowes or Khol’s.

10. Hammock

What could be better than giving your dad his own little relaxing spot to get away from it all? A hammock isn’t always something people first think of when it comes to great Father’s Day gifts – but perhaps it should be. Browse a wide range of outdoor equipment at Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI).
