When it comes to Father’s Day shopping, there are a few misconceptions and cliches to avoid. “Don’t think that you have to get dad something ‘expensive,'” says Mel Peralta, VP of Global Concepts at world-renowned sneaker and streetwear boutique, atmos. “Honestly, dads don’t want you to go broke on Father’s Day.” Instead, he adds, “We want to build a memory built around our kid’s POV of us.”
Peralta’s suggestions: “Books and experiences,” he shares. “I’m an impatient guy and my schedule is always nuts. The two things I love are an amazing book and spending some fun time with the kids.”
“Think of the moments you’ve shared with your dad that just absolutely made him (and you) happy and hunt for gifts in that direction,” he continues. And one last thing to avoid: “That damn tie!” Peralta says. “Dad is viewed as ‘the man who has everything,’ so worry less about a physical ‘gift’ and think more about creating a moment with him. That memory will last longer than any item you can get him.”
If your father is particularly picky, you’ll want to consult this list, which is full of Father’s Day gift ideas and experiences he may not have seen before. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite products to give to dad, from personalized accessories, to newly released tech toys, to big-ticket items that will make your dad the talk of the town (or at least the neighborhood). Oh, and there are no ties to be found on our list.
The best part: If you live away from home, these Father’s Day gifts can all be ordered online and shipped to him in time for his big day.

Traeger Ironwood 885 Pellet Grill
Image Credit: Traeger If dad’s got the space, he’ll want a Traeger. The man-sized machine delivers a whopping 885 square inches of space for grilling and smoking — enough for ten whole chickens or seven racks of ribs. A 20-pound pellet hopper means less replacing of pellets (though we recommend switching them out to try different flavors too).
The Traeger Ironwood is not only a powerful grill, it’s an intuitive one as well. It’s Ironwood D2 Controller lets you easily set the dial to a desired temperature (just like setting the oven). Push the “ignite” button and you’re good to go.
Traeger’s “WiFIRE Technology” lets you monitor temperatures and cooking status from the convenience of your phone. You can even turn the heat up or down from your device (our suggestion: try out the “super smoke” feature to really infuse your meats and vegetables with a rich, smokey flavor).
The best part of the Traeger is how surprisingly fool-proof it is to use. Whether you’re making brisket (about 12 hours) or smoking wings (about one hour), you really can’t mess it up. Everything on the grill cooks evenly and confidently, creating that much-desired “smoke ring” effect when you cut into your finished product.
Whether your dad is an aspiring grillmaster or just wants to upgrade his barbecue this summer, getting him a Traeger Grill is the easiest way to impress him, his guests and make him the talk of the town (or at least his neighborhood). Purchase: $1499.99 on TraegerGrills.com.

Talisker Scotch Whisky
Image Credit: Drizly Looking to toast your old man? Consider a fine Scotch, such as this Talisker 10 year.
Less known than the two Scotch heavyweights (Glenlivet and Glenfiddich), Talisker brings a unique sipping experience shaped by a unique distilling process. It’s made by the sea in Skye, Scotland, utilizing the salty air as part of the creation process. The result is an intense, authentic single malt whisky that’s great for connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. Plus, it’s even rugged enough to use for upgraded cocktails; maybe a Scotch sour or rusty nail. In any case, it’ll make a good addition to Dad’s bar.
Bonus: Save $15 at Drizly on orders over $100 with code FATHERS22 (maybe grab a nice bottle of wine along with the Talisker 10 year to unlock the savings).

Partnering with the audio experts at Devialet, the SOUNDFORM delivers hi-fidelity sound with crisp highs and mids, even when the volume’s turned up. The low-end is surprisingly resonant, with Devialet’s “Push-Push” dual-woofer configuration actively cancelling vibrations while letting the bass push through.

Suunto 7 GPS Sport Smartwatch
Image Credit: Suunto Upgrade your dad’s generic fitness tracker for this premium smartwatch from Suunto, which offers more advanced health and fitness metrics along with the latest smart features from Wear OS by Google.
The Suunto 7 tracks everything from steps to heartrate to elevation; turn on one of its 70+ sport modes to get detailed stats for your next run or bike ride. It even tracks your activity for sports like skiing and surfing.
GPS tracking and full-color maps make sure you’re never stranded outdoors (the maps even work offline when there’s no network available). Get up to 12 hours of battery life in GPS tracking mode or 48 hours in daily use.
What we like: the sophisticated design belies a tough and adventure-ready watch that’s fully shockproof and waterproof. The watch can be submerged in up to 50 meters of water without damage, and the interactive touchscreen works even underwater. Purchase: $359 on REI.com.

Aveda Invati Men System
Image Credit: Aveda We like the discreet packaging and clean scent of Aveda’s “Invati Men” products, which are specially designed for men with thinning hair. According to a survey from the salon-favorite haircare brand, four out of five men said their hair felt stronger and looked thicker after using this two-step system for just 12 weeks.
Start by washing your hair with the nourishing exfoliating shampoo, which removes build-up and gunk that could clog pores. Follow up with the scalp revitalizer, which is formulated with amla (a natural berry plant) to instantly thicken your hair at the root.
Both products also nourish and condition your hair to reduce breakage, which often adds to the look of thinning hair. If this is something dad is concerned about, this is a thoughtful set to get for him. Purchase: $103 at Aveda.com.

Roborock H6 Cordless Vacuum
Image Credit: Roborock There are generic cordless vacuums — and then there’s the Roborock. The lightweight, versatile vacuum has a ton of suction power for its size, but is gentle enough for hardwood floors, furniture and curtains too. Roborock says the H6’s “Carpet Boost” technology automatically increases suction on carpets, to help draw out dust mites, crumbs and other particles for a deeper clean.
Weighing just three pounds, we found it super easy to extend the stick to catch cobwebs in the ceiling or to slide it under our bed and couch. The dustbin attaches and removes with a snap, while a five stage air purification system helps to filter up to 99.97% of particles.
The best part: the Roborock H6 has a longer battery life than its competitors, with its LiPro battery (the same batteries used in drones) offering a runtime of up to 90 minutes in Eco Mode (most cordless vacuums need to be plugged in after an hour).
Even if your dad isn’t a fan of cleaning, he’ll find it to be a breeze with the Roborock H6. This set includes the cordless stick vacuum, a dusting brush, crevice tool, carpet brush and a motorized mini-brush for a ton of cleaning options. Purchase: $359.99 on Wellbots.com.
