What to consider when buying the best Father's Day gifts

How much can I afford to spend?

There are millions of ways to say we love you on Father’s Day. If you want (and can afford to) splurge, go ahead, but otherwise, make a budget and stick to it. He’ll thank you, trust us.

When will this item be delivered?

Check your calendar and the delivery promises made by retailers. If you are waiting until the last minute, consider that you may have to pay extra for it to reach your dad by June 16, 2024.

Who am I shopping for?

Like any gift, you want to consider the likes and dislikes of the person you are shopping for, and their hobbies and interests.

How did I select the best Father's Day gifts?

Contacted family, friends, and colleagues

I consulted friends, family members, colleagues, and many dads to find out what they would like to receive or have been successfully gifted in the past. I also asked my kids (and some of their friends) about the gifts listed here and if they would want to give them, too.

Market research

I’ve personally gifted many of these selections in the past, and I did market evaluations based on customer reviews and varying price points.

Frequently asked questions ( FAQ)

When is Father's Day 2024?

This year, Father’s Day falls on June 16, 2024.

What is the most popular gift on Father's Day?

According to the National Retail Association, the top gifts in 2024 are special outings and experiences.

What do most dads want for Father's Day?

Peace and quiet, reports my husband. Seriously, most dads I spoke to, want to spend quality time with their families and treasure homemade gifts the most.

How can I make my Father's Day special on a budget?

The National Retailers Association reports that American consumers are expected to spend $22.4 billion this year on Father’s Day gifts and celebrations. However, simple gestures and pleasures are easily accessible without spending cash. My kids love to make coupon books for their dad good for a movie of his choice, a family board game (no sibling fighting allowed), or making a giant pancake breakfast. Experiences as a family don’t have to include the big bucks - a simple hike, visit to the beach, a backyard picnic, free petting zoo, berry picking, or a trip to a nearby lake are all ways to spend Father’s Day. And, of course, if you want to shop, there are endless options, but giving your kids $10 or $20 bucks and setting them loose on your hometown main street is another idea and a nice way to support your local economy and your dad, too. At the end of the day, telling your dad how much you love and appreciate him is usually the best gift of all.ll.
