ICYMI, Father’s Day is coming up on June 19, so it’s time to start preparing now. You could treat Dad to an afternoon at the ballpark or celebrate him with brunch at his favorite restaurant, but if you want to get him something tangible, there are plenty of foolproof picks. However, with so many choices out there, it doesn’t hurt to have a little helping hand in picking out the perfect gift. Whether he has an appreciation for fine whiskey, loves getting creative in the kitchen, or is finally ready to embrace technology, we found some of the most thoughtful (and useful!) Father’s Day gifts that can be delivered directly to his door. This year and every year, it’s so important to let him know you miss him, appreciate him, and love him.
1. Made In Blue Carbon Steel Frying Pan
The direct-to-consumer brand has some pretty slick cookware and kitchen accessories, but their 10-in. carbon steel skillet is an absolute must-have for dads who love to cook. The cast-iron-like seasoning gives it supreme heat retention while the non-stick surface ensures a fuss-free experience. And besides having an affordable price tag, Made In products are incredibly well built and made to last.
Buy: Made In Blue Carbon Steel Frying Pan, $69
2. J.A. Henckels International Classic Chef’s Knife
This 8-in. chef’s knife is a consistent favorite among Kitchn editors, and we’re certain it will be a thoughtful and timeless gift for the dad-chef in your life. The German-engineered blade holds an edge incredibly well (making it perfect for those who don’t love to sharpen their knives), and its size works for a wide range of cooking tasks. For under $70, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better everyday knife.
Buy: J.A. Henckels International Classic Chef’s Knife, $69.99 (normally $109)
5. Bean Box Coffee Subscription
Let’s face it — running out of coffee is a crisis in and of itself! Introduce Dad to new coffee varieties and roasters while also making sure his daily quota is stocked with a subscription to Bean Box. We love the sampler box that’s packed with four 1.8-oz. pouches of fresh beans, but if you’re feeling a little splurgy, explore the gifts section that includes some very thoughtfully curated boxes.
Buy: Bean Box Sampler, starts at $24
6. Carnivore Club Subscription

8. Ninja Hot and Cold Brew System
Iced coffee season is just about here (for some of us, it never ends!), and Ninja’s Hot and Cold Brewing system gives Dad the option to brew both hot and iced coffees in varying strengths. There’s even a tea brewing option for days Dad prefers a cup of warm tea over his regular coffee.

Using a magnetic base and a smartphone app, your dad can set and control the temperature of his coffee or tea, and say goodbye to the microwave and hello to always-steamy drinks!

20. Areaware Cereal Little Puzzle Thing
These sweet puzzles are a fun way to celebrate the man who passed on his love for sugary treats or the one you share the treats with. He’ll have to sift through 70 tiny pieces to create his masterpiece, and once it’s done, he can have it framed and propped on his study wall.
Buy: Areaware Cereal Little Puzzle Thing, $15
21. Made In Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel Griddle
Specifically designed to achieve golden, perfectly crisp edges, this Carbon Steel Griddle is meant to handle some serious heat (we’re talking up to 1200°F!). Just place the broad, versatile surface over the BBQ, the stove, or open flame (hello camping adventure?), and use the press to press, scrape, or serve. Dad’s famous burgers, coming right up!
22. Acid League Saffron Gold
Kitchn editors can’t stop raving about this golden do-it-all sauce, and we have a feeling dad will feel just as strongly. It’s tangy, slightly spicy, and a little funky — he’ll be pouring it over eggs, mixing it into dressings, dipping into it with sausages. He’ll find endless ways to use this magical stuff.
23. WACACO Nanopress Portable Espresso Maker
If Dad’s an espresso fan, we’ve got him covered no matter where he is — at home, at an Airbnb, at a campsite. This easy-to-use portable espresso maker just requires coffee grinds and hot water to make a creamy, café-worthy, piping hot shot of espresso.
24. Cuisinart TOA-60 Air Fryer Oven
Help Dad get into the air-fryer game! The TOA-60 doubles as a toaster oven, so he can effortlessly switch between heating up last night’s pizza and air frying crispy chicken drumsticks.
25. Kilne Wooden Utensil Set
Give him an excuse to finally throw away those old cooking utensils. These rustic yet sleek acacia wood utensils have ergonomic handles and are safe to use on all sorts of cookware (we’re looking at you non-stick). Affordable and thoughtful, these beauties are a win-win.
