35 of the very best Father's Day gifts of the year, beginning at just $5

Kopiko is an Indonesian coffee candy that's popular among coffee drinkers who want to enjoy the flavor of coffee without the trouble of preparing a cup. It has a distinct combination of actual coffee bean extracts and milk that has made it a popular confectionary around the world. And yes, they do have caffeine — about three or four of the candies has about the same amount of caffeine as a shot of espresso. 

Amazon reviewers give it 4.7-stars. One five-star reviewer has this to say: "I’ve been seeing this brand coffee candy in a lot of K-dramas so wanted to give it try and WOW it is so good now I am hooked into this thing. It’s also very convenient when you don’t have time to make coffee or drink it it’s easy on the go just anywhere. I keep some in my purse and at work." 

For the dad who’s really into those deep-cleaning, power-washing videos on YouTube (you know the ones…), he’ll get a kick out of how satisfying it is to use this cleaning putty. Designed for removing dust and dirt from the crevices and vents in your car, it can also be used to remove crumbs from keyboards, dog hair from hard-to-reach places and a lot more. It can be reused many times.

If he already has AirTags, or if you think he'd get the most use out of them keeping tags on his four-legged friends, then these pet collar AirTag holders are a good gift accessory. He can keep tabs on where the cat and dog are at all times by checking the AirTag location in the app on his phone.

Self-care gifts tend to be centered around women, but if he suffers from tension headaches or finds it hard to unwind after a long day, this scalp massager might help. Many reviews say it “feels amazing” and that they would “highly recommend” it.

If he’s the handyman around the house, he might benefit from this magnetic wristband that holds screws, nails and other small tools so he can keep his hands free while working on projects. Reviewers say that it’s a “great gift” and that their “husband loves” it.

Sure, you can probably pick up some flaky Maldon sea salt from the grocery store, but this smoked variety can be a bit trickier to find. The salt is gently smoked over oak to give it a robust, thick flavor that reminds one of good American barbeque. While it can be used to punch up pretty much any dish, it’s also delicious, simply sprinkled on a thick slice of sourdough with unsalted melted butter. 

Because every dad needs a cheesy dad mug. Add some of your favorite photos to this customizable mug so every sip he takes will bring a smile to his face.

Everything that’s old is new again, as evidenced by the fact that these retro-style Casio watches are on trend once again. They’re a great fit for teens and young adults who are into vintage fashion. Reviewers love the “old school” and “retro look” of this watch, which includes a stainless steel wristband and beige clock face. It includes an LED screen and is water-resistant, too.

Upgrade his shower experience with new luxury soap. These ones from centuries-old American brand Caswell-Massey have a richly warm scent of sandalwood, cedarwood and clove for "a deeply spicy sensory experience." They're also designed with a woodgrain look. 

If he’s doing more travel these days, he could probably use a stylish toiletry bag like this Carhartt Dopp kit. It’s made of a durable water-repellent material and is lined with a waterproof material as well, so it’s ideal for liquids and bathroom toiletries.

If he doesn't own a pair of Bombas socks, you're about to change his world. These aren't just any ordinary socks — Bombas socks are especially nice to wear because they’re designed with targeted cushioning and a unique honeycomb arch-support design that’s like a gentle hug for the most tired part of your feet. I've gifted a pair to my partner on pretty much every gifting occasion for years — per his request!

If the dad you’re shopping for loves a good (or bad) dad joke, he’ll be obsessed with this book of family-friendly dad jokes. With thousands of five-star ratings on Amazon, you can bet dads are loving this book. Just be prepared to roll your eyes if you end up being the victim of one of these jokes.

Give him a gift that's truly unexpected. Design him a pair of socks with any image and text — though we recommend photos of a family pet as a way to bring a smile to his face. 

Keep in mind that these customized socks do require some production time so purchase them early so that they'll arrive in time.

You can take a man out of his favorite city, but you can’t take the city out of the man. Choose urban cities from Atlanta to Washington, D.C. They’re dishwasher safe, too. Cheers to that.

Whether he's a new dad doing midnight feedings or he hates holding up a book while trying to read in bed, this hands-free tablet stand holder is a useful gadget that'll let him watch his favorite show or read his current page-turner without needing to use both hands. 

Over 14,000 Amazon reviewers have found it useful, too. "I read every night on my iPad as part of my bedtime ritual. Only problem being that I was getting tired of holding the iPad up," said one five-star reviewer. "So I was looking for something to attach to my headboard and hold the iPad for me. The MAGIPEA Tablet Stand Holder thus far has worked perfectly. My hands are now free."

Add to his board game collection with a copy of Wavelength, the game that's all about mind reading — literally! If he's a fan games like Code Names or Monikers, he'll love Wavelength. It's a great game for big group too, so if he likes to host board game nights, it's a game he's sure to enjoy.

Help him make a good first impression with one of Clinique's top fragrances for men. With fragrance notes described as "fruity masculine" it's an everyday, light scent that's suitable for office and daytime wear. The brand says it's "Cool. Crisp. A hit of citrus. A refreshing scent for men." 

Let him discover what the hype's all about when it comes to one of the best-selling facial moisturizers for men. We recommend this product for guys who can’t be fussed to deal with a skin care routine because it’s good for all skin types and textures, including sensitive skin.

If he’s doing more travel these days, he could probably use a stylish toiletry bag like this Kobby Dopp kit. It’s made of a durable water-resistant silicone so even if something spills it won't seep through ruin his other luggage. It’s ideal for liquids and bathroom toiletries.

This Carhartt cooler bag is made of heavy duty fabric and is stylish enough for the guy who just wants to keep his weekday lunch fresh or a few beers cool when he's out fishing. 

If he doesn’t own one of these already, odds are his dad or granddad does. This classic Stanley thermos is designed to last a lifetime (or two!) thanks to its high-quality stainless steel design. It maintains temperatures for several hours, making it a favorite among hunters, hikers and fishermen. The lid doubles as a bowl or cup, so it’s great for keeping hot liquids like soup or coffee warm for hours.

Accessorize your dad's backyard BBQ setup with this professional-level spatula set with a scraper, squeeze bottle and so much more in this 135-piece griddle and grill tool set.

This nifty gadget has two unique uses. It can be used a bit like an old-school headphone splitter, sharing audio between two sets of wireless headphones. It can also be used to Bluetooth connect audio to pretty much any device with a standard 3.5 millimeter headphone jack. Use it on airplanes to connect AirPods to in-flight entertainment, at gyms and more.

If he loves coffee, then this coffee subscription gift from Trade Coffee is something he’ll actually use. Choose from 2-, 3- 6-, 9-, 12- or 24-bag subscriptions to brews from some of the nation’s best coffee brands. We recommend the 3-bag plan, which allows your giftee to choose their preferred frequency of delivery for their grounds. Each delivery includes freshly roasted coffee that’s personalized based on his unique tastes, so he’ll always receive a blend he’s guaranteed to love.

Level up his morning routine with a new lightweight waffle-knit robe. Available in sizes S to XXXL, this waffle robe is comfortable enough to wear year round, and is lightweight enough for lounging around. Reviewers say they like it because it's lightweight and absorbent. 

You could gift him an Amazon Echo Dot, a Sonos One or another type of smart speaker devices, but sometimes simplicity is best. This vintage-inspired radio from Victrola — one of the leading turntable manufacturers of the early 1900s — is Bluetooth compatible, giving him the best of what’s new and old. Use one dial to switch between Bluetooth, AM or FM, another to tone the bass and treble, and another for volume. If he’s a fan of retro technologies, he’ll especially love the satisfying crackle of using the tuner dial to find his favorite station.

Sperry's are the ultimate dad shoe. Make sure he's ready for summer with a brand new pair. These ones have over 3,000 reviews on Amazon and a 4.4-star rating, so you know they're good. 

In fact, one five-star reviewer put it best when they said, "I have a black and brown pair that is at least 19 years old. Still look good. Never wear socks with these boat shoes, in a short while they fit like a glove."

Make sure he never loses his phone, keys, luggage or wallet again with a pack of Apple AirTags. He can keep all of this most prized possession nearby and easy to find. 

A well-made robe is something he'll use for years. I highly recommend these “super plush” robes from Brooklinen that are made with 100% Turkish cotton and feature deep pockets, cuffed edges and a piped collar. I've owned one for years and it's still still the robe I reach for every morning. I love that it's thick enough to keep you warm on a cold morning, and plush enough to use like a bath towel after a shower, if that's your jam. Best of all, it keeps its fluffy feel even after dozens of washes.  

If they don't already own an espresso machine, this is a solid beginner option. We dubbed it our most versatile pick in our guide to the best single-serve coffee makers of the year because it can brew Nespresso pods and regular ground coffee. It even comes with an Aeroccino milk frother so you can make lattes and cappuccinos.

 These shearing-lined Birkenstocks are the cozy sibling of the cult-beloved Arizona Birkenstocks, making them perfect for wearing around the house on chilly mornings. They're a great pick for guys who need a house shoe that they can also wear to the mailbox and on the back porch. 

Does he always empty his pockets as soon as he walks through the front door? This catch-all doubles as a useful wireless charging station and is made in stylish Italian leather. Whether he keeps it on the entryway table, his nightstand or on the dresser, he's sure to put this to use. 

If he wants an ereader that’s not an Amazon Kindle, might we introduce you to the Rakuten Kobo? I’ve owned one of these for nearly three years, and it still works as well as it has since the first day I got it. It’s easy to connect to Libby, where you can access your local library’s database of ebooks, and has all of the features you’d expect for an ebook, like adjustable screen brightness, bookmarking, note taking and more. You can even find Kobo-specific cases to protect them, too.

These Birkenstock Clogs can be slipped on or off hands-free — important for new dads! — and are comfortable enough to wear all day, with or without socks. Plus, they're not all that terrible looking for when you need to step outside for a quick stroll to the mail box or a grocery-shopping errand. After all, practical gifts oftentimes make the best gifts of all.

The Tidbyt is a retro-futuristic pixel display that’s as fun to use as it is to look at. Use the app to program Tidbyt to display useful info such as the weather, stocks, news, sports scores, time zone maps and even train and bus schedules. It makes a good gift for the tech guy who already owns all of the gadgets and devices he could possibly want. Extremely techy folks can even develop their own apps to display on the Tidbyt, too.
